These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Nearly every time the defense attorney asked to delay the trial, a judge agreed.

do editors not get tired of having this story pitched to them. if i was an editor i would yell at these people like JK Simmons in Spider Man if I had to assign another story about the pronatalist people
Pronatalists believe that modern culture has failed to adequately prioritize the value of nuclear families and making lots of babies. They see powerful potential allies in Elon Musk and JD Vance.
They say they want Americans to have more babies. What's beneath the surface?

It is really funny that every year or so Marc Benioff is like "yo we're doing AI! It's Einstein time baby!"

![Salesforce has also announced their own generative AI product, called “Einstein,” that can allegedly generate leads and close deals according to CEO Marc Benioff, though I can find absolutely no information about when or how it will do so. What I can find is Marc Benioff discussing or launching a product called Einstein AI in 2021, 2019 (“you speak to Einstein, Einstein speaks to you”), 2018, and 2017 (when Einstein had some sort of partnership with IBM’s Watson to “boost the range of predictive analytics it can provide clients”).
Benioff, I note, is no stranger to jumping on a bandwagon. In 2016 Salesforce was the “first comprehensive AI platform with CRM” — a phrase that may seem superficially impressive, but actually doesn’t mean anything when you think about it. In 2021, blockchain briefly became “the future of apps” as part of the Salesforce Nocode Platform, and was as easy to install as Einstein AI, which is confusing, because it seems that in May 2019, Benioff promised that “every salesforce app [could] have full Blockchain…All in clicks not code.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qc6xzgctorfsm35w6i3vdebx/bafkreib2npdcm3k4myng2l5u7yeyxusawawukpsq7dcyc7sbonotc27d2y@jpeg)
