oh so just dumb luck these idiots didn’t shoot down a passenger aircraft
According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Absolutely fascinating piece by @elisecutts.bsky.social that should be required reading for all scientists and science journalists 👩‍🔬🧪 www.reviewertoo.com/pop-science-...
Pop science doesn't reach a "general audience"
Pop sci readers are wealthy, educated, and left-leaning

Kind of a minor point but the Dow is measured in index points because it's an index, it isn't a price in dollars
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

From your lips to the ears of every presenter. 🙏
Remember: the slides are for the audience, not for you the presenter.

If you’re putting stuff on your slides to help you remember what’s next, try another way.

Presenter view in PPT lets you have notes for each slide, or cue cards work too, but best of all, learn the talk.

This photo by Kent Nishimura is WILD

zoom in!!!!!!
A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

The new policy prohibits students from recording class without permission but explicitly allows administrators to surveil professors for any “lawful purpose.”

I believe that there are characteristics of structural change and AI, as yet, does not have them.

I also believe that refusal opens up smart people to conceive of what *is* happening and not what capital *wants* to happen.

Anyway, I see a lot of data about how AI will change workflows, how it is reshaped state administrative capacity. But I do not see, as a colleague described it just yesterday, as yet changing the everyday structure of life.

This is no shade. Maybe leftists do need to accept that AI is happening. I will be honest, I’m not updated on what constitutes leftist dogma at any given time.

However, I am seeing a familiar pattern of erasure and co-option that I think is anti-power. One might say it is similar to a psy-op.

I fear that men are about to do what men do. They are about to characterize any sober thinking about power as non-technical and therefore unserious.

We have seen this pattern over and over again in tech criticism. Women and people of color repeatedly lead on understanding tech changes.
