a fun thing to consider is that China, and probably Russia, almost certainly have the ability to post from the president's Truth Social account. they just know that they only get to use that *once*.

I think the White House is probably absolutely riddled with spies and listening devices and also they're getting exactly as much actionable intelligence as you'd get from browsing Truth Social.

Three days after Pat McAfee took to social media to complain about “old white people,” including the producers of College GameDay, some of his ESPN colleagues are firing back. In a report from Front Office Sports’ Michael McCarthy, multiple ESPN sources expressed frustration with the former All-Pro punter’s “diva” behavior. The comments come in response Read more...

among the reasons I hate AI as a term is that it makes people treat regression models like Satan

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 1d

so I can explain this: it's not generative AI: it's usually deep learning models trained on meteorology tasks and it can be quite effective

Darth J.D. @starklyjd.bsky.social · 1d

I know It would only annoy me, but if you are using weather balloons for data, where does the AI come in?

Because it sounds like they’re just doing meteorology and complicating it with AI.

The ballroom is such an obvious winning political issue for Dems, it’s breathtaking how little they want to talk about it. It will be ugly, omnipresent, a literal metaphor for Trump‘s disinterest in doing anything that actually helps American voters. Run on it, you fucking morons.

I think Tesla would pretty clearly make better products and sell more units of them if it could somehow divorce itself from Musk entirely.

Musk ended Tesla’s earnings call with a fiery outburst over his proposed $1 trillion pay package, blasting advisers who tried to block it and warning his future at Tesla is on the line. He suggested he may leave if the deal doesn’t pass the Nov. 6 vote.

"Trump talked about his new White House ballroom, while meeting in the Oval Office with Mark Rutte"

Amused at this WH reporter doing clean up for the Trump regime saying ballroom is not his main priority. I mean come on now www.instagram.com/reel/DQIO6Ug...

IG post from Jessica Yellin:

"Trump talked about his new White House ballroom, while meeting in the Oval Office with Mark Rutte, NATO’s Secretary General. He whipped out renderings of the ballroom and announced “it’s about $300 million.” That’s interesting considering earlier this week its cost was estimated at $250 million. Then again, Trump also promised that the construction project would completely respect the East Wing and “not touch it.” But today, his administration announced that the entire East Wing will be demolished to build his ballroom.

The project is set to be bigger than the entire White House. That can’t be just a ballroom."

🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

Someone is sending postcards to Maine veterans offering an extra $110 in monthly SS benefits—then asking for sensitive personal information once they call.

It's a SCAM!

If you or someone you know has received this mailer, call the Maine Bureau of Veterans’ Services at 207-287-7020.

At least half a dozen of these donors are major federal contractors dependent on U.S. taxpayers. This is money laundering.
