Google’s complete indifference to the quality of search experience is almost impressive at this point.

Search results are crap now, AI results boxes are worse, and Google dgaf.

Oh no. Tom Lehrer gone. At his great age, it’s not a tragedy, I know, but it just does feel bad not having his genius in the world.

NEW: Inside Gaza’s ‘death traps’ via @FT

Numbers unclear: organisers hoped for 35k to 40k to defy the threat of legal consequences. “We believe 180,000 to 200,000 people attending,” Viktória Radványi told AFP. “It is hard to estimate because there have never been so many people at Budapest Pride.”

they just assaulted a sitting united states senator and dragged him out of a press conference

"opposition legislator violently removed by regime thugs" would be an accurate description if you saw it anywhere else.

this continues to be the most useful metaphor I’ve seen
Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Mein Gott but the FDP were a malign and destructive actor in German and European politics, who deserved to end up far further below the 5% threshold than they did. Literally a week after removing their influence and vital stuff gets done.
MASSIVE FISCAL PACKAGE OUT OF BERLIN: 12-20%+ of GDP.

- 500 billion fund for public investment
- All defence spending above 1% of GDP not counted for debt brake.
- Federal states can borrow 0.35% p.y. for investment.

Germany is back - economically and militarily.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Absolutely disgusting. How is it free speech to not allow people to call others mentally ill UNLESS they are LGBT+? That's just discrimination.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.
