Long ago, a man named Seikilos grieved the loss of Euterpe. He wrote a song for her; the Seikilos Epitaph. Remarkably, the tune and lyrics both survived.
One translation: “As long as you're alive, shine, Don't be sad at all; Life is short, time asks for its due.”

“Normally, it is the job of the solicitor general to defend federal law in the Supreme Court. But after Trump took office, the Department of Justice ... switched sides and is now attacking the very law it defended under both Democratic and Republican presidents for 50 years.”

Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

So, to recap:

Washington Post story breaks on Hegseth.

Pentagon says fake news.

White House confirms the story roughly 12 hours later - and defends it.

Press Sec confirms that Hegseth personally ordered the execution of the two stranded men.

This isn’t going well.

This is profoundly irresponsible by AGSulzberger’s NYT, @by-cjewett.bsky.social +eds.

The normalization, “view-from-nowhere”, “born-yesterday”, stenography, “both-sides”, irresponsible headline are disgraceful.
THE story is the CDC&FDA are being destroyed by antiscience & Americans will die.

Don’t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, that’d be super.

AI for building software will be helpful, but natural language won't replace everything. It's just another tool in the toolbox.

A “gold rush” is when a lot of people think they are going to get rich quick. Named after the California Gold Rush of 1848. The corporate frenzy around AI is a gold rush. Executive managers are taking huge risks and dumping low-quality software on the public. Just to get rich quick. #AI #greed
