Washington's neglect of South Korea’s security concerns is a proliferation problem
To deflate Seoul's nuclear ambitions, Washington needs to make its commitment to South Korean security credible and demonstrate that it sees its ally as an equal partner.

Really excited to have my first piece out in @thebulletin.org!
If the US wants to prevent nuclear proliferation, which it should, it needs to treat its allies like equal partners, not client states - beginning with South Korea ⤵️

IDK guys, scanning children’s faces seems bad to me
The online gaming platform Roblox this week rolled out a new system to estimate users’ ages by analyzing images of their faces. The feature was designed to stop children from chatting with older users they didn't know, the company said. Here's what to know.

President Trump suggested that six Democrats should be arrested, tried and put to death for accurately describing the duty of U.S. military service members to uphold the Constitution and resist unlawful orders.

I think the Comey situation is a good example of why Yarvin and the tech fascists are upset about the regime. Trump didn’t do the work of properly consolidating power before starting what were supposed to be sham trials for his enemies.

The people who say "why this obsession with Palestine? why don't you post about Sudan?" never post about Sudan themselves.
What they mean is "it's fine you don't care about Sudan. You should be similarly indifferent to Palestine"
(of course, many people do post about both and other crises)

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.
