"Overheard in our newsroom" please you're a PR shill on a different floor redressing whatever message Daddy Jeff tells you to send out.

[Olivia Petersen @LivPetersen]

👀Overheard in our newsroom just now:

I'm so over formers continuing to write our "obituary" (air quote) when I can turn on TV, check any news channel and see us and our reporting. Case in point.
(points to nearby TV with MS NOW showing last night's drone scoop)

Too busy being cucked to know US refineries are not equipped for the heavy sour oil pumped from our soil.

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

If the Democrat war on American fossil fuel had been allowed to prevail America would be totally subservient to foreign nations.

If the Democrat war on American fossil fuel was not being waged America would be totally independent of foreign nations.

[matt @mattxs]

@AsafShaloo It is not a political standoff over ICE tactics. It is withholding funds from a military force that is killing American civilians. Your framing is an injustice to those ICE has already killed.

@SegravesNBC4 @DCPoliceDept @usiporgold @nbcwashington why are you taking credit for the reporting work someone else did.

every tech company is gonna follow Block's lead, lay off 40% of its workforce, and this dude will sweep the VC suite vote and that's it.

@Timcast @grok is this true

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.

In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.

AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.

We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.

We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.

We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

@nilwxreports if not giving taxpayer money to a business that taxpayers are still paying the loan off on from when that business was given taxpayer money 20+ years ago is failed leadership, then I want more failed leaders.

@semafor In 2013, Epstein's foundation got Business Insider to remove his mugshot from a story so it wouldn't show up in Google search results

@ShadeX6 @OrctonAI @Kling_ai I've always loved your art, but I may love your commitment to this bit just as much.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

imagine running on a platform of "measles for everyone!"

[Bill Cassidy, M.D. @BillCassidy]

I'm proudly running for re-election as a principled conservative who gets things done for the people of Louisiana. If Congresswoman Letlow decides to run I am confident I will win.

[L. Louise Lucas @SenLouiseLucas]

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

@BillAckman @grok, does this chart @BillAckman is referring to reflect Trump's or Biden's presidency?

[matt @mattxs]

@WhipKClark have you considered getting all the Democratic Congresspeople to do their jobs and vote on each bill? Could have won yesterday if you did.
Be a better whip or let someone step into the role who will.

[matt @mattxs]

One day you will die, and while you rot in hell, your grave will be defaced, destroyed, and defecated on on a daily basis. And it will all be well deserved, for you are one of the best examples of the worst humans extreme wealth creates.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

I am big believer in our legal principal that one is innocent until proven guilty.

To that end, I supported the @gofundme for Jonathan Ross and intended to similarly support the gofundme for Renee Good’s family (her gofundme was closed by the time I attempted to provide support).

The whole situation is a tragedy. An officer doing his best to do his job, and a protester who likely did not intend to kill the officer but whose actions in a split second led to her death.

Our country is stronger if we work together to resolve the complex issues that are tearing us apart.

I used to watch Charlie Kirk say stuff like this and wonder why nothing bad ever happened to him. But then he got shot and everyone fucked his wife.
