I would like to be wrong abt this. I would like for white conservatism to accept dissent & respect the rights & ideas of others. I would love to live in an actual democracy. Until we actually address the problem of chronic right wing lawlessness, however, all the rest is just wishful thinking.
This is it.

Reminder that it is much easier to tweak a social media recommendation algorithm to produce the results you want than it is to tweak an LLM to do the same. If you are on Twitter you are on a platform that shows you what Elon wants you to see (and buries your posts if they aren't)
If Musk is tweaking Grok this hard, who's going to invest in xAI?
Its real-time content gleaned from Twitter is the only edge it has in the LMArena. In any other usage category, xAI is irrelevant (so far).
Hard to believe that xAI is trying to raise $15bn at a $230bn valuation right now.

Amazing. Dude is just winking at Cassidy and telling him what a schmuck he is while he kills children.
Apparently RFK Jr. promised Senator Bill Cassidy that he wouldn’t remove the statement
“Vaccines do not cause autism” from the CDC website.
So what RFK Jr. did instead is spit in his face by leaving the statement there and adding this:

man, it's always the same fucking list
These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Massie was crucial to forging the Epstein bill coalition. What he's saying here -- that Epstein had CIA and Mossad ties -- is supported by reporting, notably the excellent series at Drop Site on Epstein's as an international power broker. The mainstream media has almost entirely ignored this topic.
Rep. Thomas Massie: Epstein had close ties to our own intelligence agency and Israel's intelligence agencies. That’s why they’re trying to stop this.

People have done a massive disservice to Ukraine and Europe by pretending Trump might do the right thing and help Ukraine. It raised hopes in a fantasy and kept people from facing reality. Trump is with Putin and all Europeans need to face that squarely.
