I went to the Senate floor to lay out for my colleagues the stunning story of brazen, open corruption during the first 6 weeks of the Trump presidency.

I think it's a story everyone needs to know.

1/ So a🧵with the highlights from the speech.

So far DOGE has gone after things like USAID, the NIH, and NOA, which are 1) completely irrelevant to the actual debt and 2) critically important to both US softpower and literally millions of people.

Worst of both worlds.

samadhi is less like an altered state and more like being more sober than I thought was possible

time moves at a third the speed, everything is beautiful and clear, everything is calm and okay

@yoavgo The war is their justification for existence. They have no interest in governance (save for embezzling billions in public funds). Having “martyrdom” as a facade gives them the appearance of moral legitimacy. Peace would be wildly inconvenient

@yoavgo This thread seems to point to “failed rocket from Hamas” theory:

Traveling waves are known to exist throughout the brain in a variety of forms — there are many hypotheses, but their exact computational role is debated.

Together with @wellingmax we built an RNN which exhibits traveling waves to see what it could do. Here’s what we think:

A tiny meditation invitation, if you'll pause here for a moment.

Think of some of the people you know, here or elsewhere.

Who is someone you deeply hope to be still in touch with, if not much closer to, in 5-10 years?

Do you know?

What does it make sense to do, given that?

Raising interest rates to curb demand for housing is like putting a live alligator in the food aisle to reduce food prices

Anyone who attempts to justify the murderous kleptocracy of Iran, or cast doubt on just how oppressive it is to women and minorities, is not to be trusted. Especially if they’re Iranian themselves, could very well be state agents & mouthpieces

[Sana Ebrahimi Ledene @SanaELedene]

We talked about people like Negar Mortazavi & Farnaz Fasihi and how they spread propaganda. So I want to introduce Azadeh Moaveni. She denies the truth, lies and spreads the regime’s propaganda. She is very active and has been doing this for years. Do NOT trust a word she says!

@rebecca_fachner I hope they’ve updated their understanding of tampons requirements or at 10 tampons a day per person it’s gonna be mostly a tampon shipping operation 😂

Did you know, that you can build a virtual machine inside ChatGPT? And that you can use this machine to create files, program and even browse the internet? https://t.co/15IwHwr2on

Protesters in China’s Shanghai are voicing support for protesters in Iran and oppressed Uyghurs: "We don't want a dictatorship. We want democracy. We don't want a leader. We want voting. We stand with the people of Xinjiang. We stand with the women of Iran.” (Rough translation)

Over the weekend, a verified account posing as FTX founder SBF posted dozens of copies of this deepfake video offering FTX users "compensation for the loss" in a phishing scam designed to drain their crypto wallets

Good news!

@jessicadai_ No mere mortal can understand me, but GPT-6 probably will 😆

[Sepehr Sadighpour @sepehr125]

@nedbat Is there a term for this — demonstrating expert understanding of something by using it incredibly incorrectly? It’s like a weird proof of knowledge.

@tenderlove 😆 I think you need at least 8
