@Timodc She’s feisty!

[Sam Stein @samstein]

of all the pernicious things that have happened over the past few years I think the effective rebranding of January 6 into an event in which the rioters were the ones who were wronged may best symbolize how bad our politics have become.

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

@hklion2 @ijbailey @abqkat1 That does it. 😉

[robindavidson @robindavidson]

@hklion2 @ijbailey @abqkat1 This. This nails it. Except the “fertilizer to explode” bit.

@dieworkwear What is most funny is that the dudes with 4 and 5 have legs that look like 🐓s.

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

As the Trump DOJ mass-deletes government information about the Jan. 6 cases, reminder that you can still access NPR's database covering every single prosecution.

We also provide access to hundreds of videos presented in court.

@scottbraddock The Trump Effect.

[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.

In most US cities this (left photo) would be a large downtown, ranking about sixth in office space. In Houston, it’s just the remarkable @TXMedCenter. Downtown, slightly smaller on that measure, is photo to the right. The TMC, the world’s largest medical complex, is along with our universities and medical schools the foundation of our rapidly expanding medical economy.

To assess the results of the war, the analysis is actually quite simple:

A. Iran before the war:

1. Willing to engage in nuclear negotiations
2. Prepared to consider significant concessions on the nuclear issue
3. The Strait of Hormuz remained open and stable

B. Iran after the war (so far):

1. Demanding recognition of its sovereign role over the Strait of Hormuz
2. Refusing to discuss the nuclear issue until it receives guarantees on ending the war and meaningful economic relief

The war produced a number of tactical achievements. But strategically, it did not moderate Iran’s position but actually it hardened it.

Instead of moving Tehran closer to compromise on the nuclear file, the conflict shifted Iranian priorities toward security guarantees, economic stabilization, and leverage in the Gulf. The nuclear issue, once central, has now become conditional on broader political and economic arrangements.

That is the core strategic problem: military pressure may have weakened parts of Iran’s infrastructure, but it also hardened the regime willingness to negotiate under pressure. And, they are not ready to show more compromises...

@MollyJongFast @LaurenDownSouth All these old people sure are into AI. It’s so weird. Is Fox peddling it that hard?

[robindavidson @robindavidson]

@danpfeiffer @jamestalarico 100% disagree. Never underestimate the willingness of Texas Republicans to vote for a crook.

The Chinese applied their tricks on Trump, giving him a smaller chair than the one the Chinese president sits on!
The discomfort on Trump's face is obvious, as Xi appears to be a head taller!

@lonestarsalinas @DavidGriscom @andrebttx Or, as this Native Texan likes to do, buy both and combine them.
