When a tyrant directs his enforcers to start arresting judges, it’s not because lawlessness was at the gates, it’s because lawlessness has been enthroned.

Lady Justice herself now stands shackled, her scales discarded, a prisoner of the very tyranny she once protected us against.

just a reminder of the big beautiful amazing universe. and that man in the white house is nothing here.
Rare O-type star powers NGC 6164, a 4-light-year-wide nebula with striking bipolar symmetry. Just 3–4 million years old, the star will end in a supernova. A faint halo hints at its active past. Also called the Dragon’s Egg, it lies 4,200 light-years away in Norma.

NGC 6302, also known as the Butterfly Nebula, is a remarkable example of how stars, as they age, can take on some nice shapes sometimes resembling flowers or insects.

87 years ago.

In April 1938, Guy Callendar published the first evidence from thermometer observations that the world’s land areas were warming.

He also linked the observed warming to the increase in atmospheric CO₂ from burning coal.

87 years ago.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

I am now hearing from multiple folks in the past two hours (including some who have personally been fired) that mass firings have now commenced within NOAA--including, yes, at the National Weather Service.

A reminder for those who still haven’t understood: ChatGPT and other LLMs are designed to write language that matches patterns found in existing texts so the generated text sounds plausible. It absolutely does not query for “facts” in the way that we have come to think of “googling” information.
I write with @juliaangwin.com about our study that showed 50% of AI models’ responses to questions voters might ask were inaccurate.

Government must hold companies accountable, including through the privacy law called for by POTUS in his powerful #SOTU speech.

Opinion: AI doesn't have all the answers — especially this election season
In our study, we found many AI chatbots and apps such as ChatGPT and Gemini provide misinformation on when and where to vote. Tech companies should improve their platforms.
