Folks, there is something gravely wrong with the president’s health and the White House is covering it up. This man is obviously not well.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

Fun fact about Norwegian culture: because Norwegian society emphasises egalitarianism, honorifics like "Mr" and "Mrs" are virtually never used and are considered outdated. You address your teacher, professor, doctor, or boss by their first name or the informal "du" ("you").

I’m just…. How can someone who became president, the highest achievement in the world, still be such a hollow self-loathing husk of a man?

I’d be incredibly sad if he wasnt destroying the country

I was today year's old when I found out Japanese kids are taught how to deal with traffic by watching in real time horrific accident recreations 😳

Europeans tonight knowing none of their govs ever started a full-scale invasion against Ukraine 🌓

If you turned on the TV in another country and saw the leader's daughter-in-law giving him a softball interview on a major "news" channel, you would rightfully assume that country is a tinpot dictatorship.

Perfectly rational thing to do weeks before you host a major international event in those cities

We've entered full-scale oligarch psychopathy. It's not enough to take their jobs, you have to rub your wealth in their face.

Companies voluntarily operating in Europe, then discovering Europe has laws, remains one of the great recurring dramas of our time.

I read all 277 pages of SpaceX's IPO filing so you don't have to.

Losses up 700%. Revenue decelerating. 107x price-to-sales multiple.

It's a trainwreck. Full breakdown below 👇

[Alex Prompter @alex_prompter]

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

Trump has severe swelling in his extremities which has now expanded to his neck and face. At the same time, his disinhibition is total. His dementia is self-evident.

We’re playing very dangerous games with the world right now.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

FIFA is panicking: World Cup hotel cancellations are surging as global fans ditch the U.S., citing soaring costs, visa bonds, and Trump’s dictatorial behavior.

Turns out nobody wants to pay $1,000 a night just to experience an authoritarian simulation.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is an official government account in a democracy.

This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.

AI is killing All About Berlin. When you Google something, you used to get a link to my website, but now you get an AI-generated answer trained on my work. This has a devastating impact on traffic.
