"States have never been closer to launching a global agreement on AI weapons... But we will likely see some states hide behind language that has the veneer of progress but advocates for a continuation of endless discussions on voluntary measures that have no teeth. The proposals for more years of discussions on non-legally binding measures are smokescreens to keep autonomous weapons systems unregulated and states unaccountable for their use."

Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."

Now you can really see everything

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

This is disturbing.

Republican Congressman @RepThomasMassie just read his articles of impeachment for Pete Hegseth on the House floor.

Below he discusses the illegal strike that killed fleeing school children in Iran.

It's chilling to listen to.

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today:

"The widely publicised idea that we are still on track for 2.6-2.8C by the end of the century now seems wildly optimistic, if not downright impossible."

In 2027 Mexico will implement Universal Healthcare.

You know something is fishy when a President's 20 year old son, who is an unemployed college student, makes $150 million in less than a year.

[Paul Shapiro @PaulHShapiro]

Did you know:

Most state anti-cruelty laws exempt customary animal farming practices.

That means obvious cruelty -- such as immobilizing pigs in cages barely larger than their bodies for years on end -- is often legal, even if doing the same thing to a dog could be a felony.
