Pete Hegseth: "The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI."

He says the military has launched a new platform that  "puts the world's most powerful frontier AI models, starting with Google Gemini, directly into the hands of every American warrior."

So ICE is definitely changing up their agent profile in Massachusetts. Saw two guys in a courthouse today who could have easily passed for middle managers at some tech company.

I take this as a sign that they know they are being watched and are needing to adapt to what community members are doing.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Jesus save us (make more electrons)
Altman said basically the same weird thing about electrons a week ago. Suggests there might be some weird text/group these guys are pulling from.
In the bottom 0.1% of the massive mountain of errors, broken arguments and cotton-brained ignorance at play in this classic Yglesias work, but when you generate electricity, you aren't "making electrons", you are pushing them around!!!!!

The heart doesn't 'make blood' folks!!!

“Why?”
“Because, yo, I never ever call and ask you to play something, right?”
“Yeah”
“You know what I wanna hear, right?”

The longer your country has been exposed to Rupert Murdoch the more dire the outlook is
> getting rid of jury trials [Labour]
> deporting anyone found guilty of a crime [Conservative]
> getting rid of ILR [Reform UK]

does uh. no one see the gestalt policy that is being formed here?
The Conservative party’s policy also includes stripping people of their British citizenship when they are found guilty of a crime ⬇️

The presidency as we know it should be burned to the ground, and salt the earth. Congress needs a pretty big overhaul, including on the electoral system. But the Court mostly just needs justices who aren't deranged hacks avowedly hostile to fundamental principles of the republic.

We don't need massive SCOTUS reform in the abstract. Fixed terms, some small things. But the problem isn't the Court. It's the justices. These six people are so bad, such enemies of the Constitution, they must be removed or otherwise disempowered even if it means things I'd generally rather not do.

Wow we wouldn't have used infant formula if only we knew there was a free God made one. Why didn't our OB/GYN or pediatrician explain this to us?!
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."
