A new report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37 billion in potential legal liability from 11 federal agencies on inauguration day.
Many are now on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped their investigations into Musk's corporations.
"Conflict of interest" is an understatement.

Experiments show that when bees are exposed to microplastic pollution, their memory gets so muddled they may forget the scents associated with sugary rewards.
As a result, pollination may fail — which is bad news for flowers and crops.

Microplastics may confuse bees and other insects, hurting pollination
Recent studies have shown that tiny pieces of plastics can make bees more susceptible to bacteria and viruses.

So ... Kristi Noem's purse was stolen from a fancy DC restaurant from under her chair in front of her security detail by a masked man who turned out to be an "illegal alien just like the kind Kristi Noem has been warning you about" is that right?
Convenient coincidence.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE PHILOSOPHERS:
So Trump wants to put his new Debt ceiling on Biden‘s term, so it look like Biden has the debt, and Trump would start off on a clean slate so he can give his huge tax breaks to the rich. Should the Democrats call the Bluff of Maga and shut down the government and not give it to Trump?

This is a total capitulation of the highest order. A complete and total failure of the free press.
JUST IN: A day after Trump and George Stephanopoulos were ordered to appear for depositions, they settled the case.
ABC has agreed to make a $15 million contribution to Trump presidential museum/foundation and air an apology for mischaracterizing the E. Jean Carroll verdict.

On anticipatory obedience and the media
Trump's campaign against the Fourth Estate has been unfolding before our eyes—far more effectively than some in the press would like to believe.

Nice piece by @melaniemitchell.bsky.social on metaphors in AI.
Too often, scientists see metaphors as avoidable and problematic. But metaphors do--and must--structure how we conceive, design, and legislate for AI.
We shouldn't decry metaphors; we should use them attentively.
