They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.

i am willing to compromise by just insisting on prison terms for ICE employees. that is the moderate position.
if there's a reason to keep up the "tribunals for all involved" discourse one such reason it is to put in stark relief how far away some of the Dem politicking is from the mood on the ground
eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

The United Farm Workers — along with multiple U.S. citizen farmworkers — sued the Trump administration over a new rule that lowers pay for the H-2A agricultural visa program by about $5 to $7 an hour for seasonal guest-workers in agriculture.
United Farm Workers union sues to block Trump from lowering farm pay
A new Labor Department rule that makes it cheaper for farmers to hire foreign guest-workers illegally drives down wages for U.S. citizen farmworkers, the union said.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

one thing we need to do as a society is treat all fraud or theft over $100 million or so as a potential capital crime, with the possibility of execution for offenders.

The TLDR on the "Hitler DNA" story, as with most new Hitler stories, is that we don't really have any new or earth shattering information about the guy. He definitely had Parkinsons. He may have had an undescended testicle. none that changes what we know about the guy.
Right. Hitler's DNA. Brace yourselves for a deluge of misinformation and bad science.

again i am perfectly fine with locking every one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends in prison, Democrat, Republican or Whatever.
Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Huge scoop from Ed, who had several years of financial reports leaked to him. OpenAI has been over-reporting their revenue. The company is even less profitable than we knew.
Exclusive: Based on documents viewed by this newsletter, OpenAI spent over $12.4 billion on inference from 2024 to September 2025. As part of its Microsoft revenue share, it sent $493.8m in 2024/$865.8m Jan-Sep 2025, implying lower revenues than previously reported.

Oh weird it's an article from 2020 by some anonymous journalist predicting that exactly what's happening now with CBP would happen if DHS wasn't reigned in under Biden

I'm sure Will just have expressed the same concerns no way he ignored them entirely

also some science is fucking settled. it's idiotic to pretend otherwise.
“Science is never settled” sounds reasonable—but it’s often a rhetorical trick to undermine consensus on issues like vaccines or climate change.
Science evolves, but some things are overwhelmingly supported by evidence.
