Trump’s selling off America while live-tweeting his way toward a war with #Iran. 250M acres of public lands on the auction block. No press briefings. #ICE arresting elected officials. #Putin protected. J6 defenders erased. The regime’s rot is on full display.

Trump sends troops to LA, lies about it, calls it “liberation.” #GavinNewsom says “Arrest me, tough guy.” Meanwhile, #Ukraine gets shafted, #ICE raids escalate, and Chilean fjords die for Wall Street salmon. #immigration

yes, ChatGPT is in schools; there are K-12 school districts and DOEs entering into AI contracts, too. so rather than panicking over the death of academia as a foregone conclusion—particularly when LLMs are frequently wrong—why don't we talk about the climate costs of AI?

Musk staffers gained access to a system at the Interior Department. We had resisted their attempts for about two weeks to obtain administrative access to the program. Two IT officials who stood their ground are now on administrative leave and under investigation.
