What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992

Abolish bank regulators. “Delete” the CFPB & IRS. Gut Social Security and Medicare.
The Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

The CFPB has:
-Returned $20B to victims of financial fraud
-Cracked down on junk fees
-Fought against politically-motivated debanking
-Protected veterans from predatory lenders
-Protected consumers' data from corporate abuse
Oligarchs want to reverse all of this.

NEW: A military fighter jet has crashed into San Diego Bay. This is the 6th plane collision (and 2nd military collision) since Trump took office.

The TL;DR, paraphrased:
"You made a direct competitor to Thompson Reuters by using their work, and the output of that creation is not sufficiently transformative to escape being a legal derivative. Not fair use."
That's a pretty low bar for AI to clear, but IT IS A BAR, and damn do we need some.

The federal government promised it would reimburse farmers for millions in infrastructure investments, but Trump's funding freeze just left farmers on the hook.
And if Trump's tariffs go through, farmers will be in even more dire straits.

They are going to ignore court orders.
If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect.
It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

Some fed employees have been advised to download their
Electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF) because they're hearing OPM is planning to cut off access tomorrow.
The folder includes all personal identifying info, performance reviews, benefits selections, raises.
Unclear why they'd do this.
