Pentagon Orders Aircraft Carrier to the Caribbean

The move would be a major escalation of the Trump administration’s military campaign to target drug smugglers and threaten governments in Latin America.

Important piece from Ed Luce in the FT today. "From today’s vantage point, Trump’s first term looks like a model of constitutional restraint."

The Trump Supremacy

Opponents in disarray, allies in line, followers enthralled — the US president is already on his way to building a new world order

Please, NOT Trump’s grand ballroom. Rather, it is properly called “the Epstein Ballroom.” Don’t ever forget that,

Central Coast FOG @centralcoastfog.bsky.social · 1d

All the more reason to call it "the Epstein Ballroom."

So, basically Trump just admitted he is simply an autopen.

Well, well, well. It looks like one US District Court internship won't be as valuable as earlier anticipated. The continued use of AI in drafting both opinions and pleadings is a big problem.

Trump had taught them that they are free to advance bald faced lies, completely detached from reality, and a critical 40% of the electorate will accept it.

This is OBSCENE. It is a sin, really and truly in the deepest sense. To destroy something so magnificent to satisfy his g—damn ego.

Donald Trump invited Zelenskyy over the weekend to once again try to extort him on behalf of Putin. Zelenskyy didn't back down and stood up for his country. No Trump and MAGA are not isolationists, that's a myth, they are in an open alliance with Russia and Israel.

More people should realize this. Rather than solving problems, AI simply sifts through that which has already been discussed/revealed and then prints it. It is no more than a very powerful plagiarism tool. Sure, useful for research, but it's not giving us anything that didn't already exist.

An OpenAI executive said GPT-5 found solutions to 10 "previously unsolved" math problems when in reality all it did was find online references to places where people had already solved them

Israel strikes Gaza as both IDF and Hamas accuse each other of breaching ceasefire

The Israel Defense Forces said Sunday it responded after "terrorists" attacked troops operating in the Rafah area with gunfire and an anti-tank missile. Hamas said it was unaware of the clashes.

Authoritarianism doesn't happen in a vacuum. It requires enablers. When a leader posts fantasies of monarchical rule, and his entire party looks the other way, they become complicit. The issue isn't just Trump's posts; it's the institutional decay of a party that refuses to be a check on his power.

All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire??

Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

But because it was classified as “substandard,” it cost me $17 per month and I got to keep my BAQ. But as a lieutenant in law school, who had time for anything anyway? Ah, those days at the Presidio…and the tolerance of youth./e

But then the was the BOQ in front of the Officers’ Club at the Presidio, WWII barracks, small rooms with exposed 2x4 walls, common use sheet metal showers down the hall, one’s bed was perhaps 50 yards from the cannon that sounded at 6AM every morning. /1
