Breaking News!
Code Yikes!
The latest CO2 data just came in from Mauna Loa and the 3-year rate of CO2 growth just hit a new record high, now growing at a rate of 7.97 ppm per 3 years.
(That dip in the mid-1990's is Mt. Pinatubo. Google is your friend.)

This image is from Birzeit University in the West Bank which was raided by Israel today using live ammunition and tear gas.
Over 40 people were injured, mostly students.
More than 8,000 students are trapped inside.
But it’s controversial to talk about scholasticide.

Personally I think the problem is with the use of the term 'AI'. Probably better to use more specific terms so that computational researchers can be comfortable on here. Those that use LLMs for 'research' can get blocked, on the other hand.

Too many easily forget or ignore all of the Black organizers & activists from Ferguson who have been arrested, killed & "disappeared" over the years, not to mention the targeting of organizers around the Floyd protests & so many others. Even Black radicals who just help their commumities

So is this where I tell you that cops have been doing this to Black activists for decades and you're only now realizing it is a problem because it happened to a young white woman or nah?
What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?
Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Trump didn't do it for the oil. He did it to distract from the Epstein files. He did it to save the dollar. He did it because 'blood for oil' sounds cool. He did it to create macho 'war flavored' internet content. He did it because the oil companies didn't want the oil. He did it for my posts. He di

So you think you live in a liberal, constitutional democracy.
If your government is not starting to prepare for war with the US today, it is naive.
If it justifies the abduction, it is an auxiliary of fascism.

Sounds like a grand scheme to me.
Don't overthink the Trump admin's reasoning here. They don't have a grand scheme. They are willing to upend the international order because they think everyone else will be too scared to fuck with them. And whatever terrorist attacks this inspires against us will just help them electorally.

Speaking of inexcusable: the EU out of the gate with a nonsensical statement.
I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela.
The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. (1/2)

One way to quell dissent and rebellion against acts of aggression is to carefully plan their timing. Waking up to this on the first Saturday of the year is not a contingent fortuity.
