Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT

This headline is framed to help make the story disappear, making it sound like this is an expert offering a frank assessment of the reality of the situation rather than a decision Bondi herself is making, for corrupt reasons. Don't print lies in the newspaper
Breaking News: Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested that there was not likely to be a criminal inquiry into the sharing of military plans in an unsecured chat.
Bondi Suggests Signal Chat Episode Is Unlikely to Be Criminally Investigated
The attorney general said the focus should be on the success of the U.S. military strike in Yemen, not that military information was shared in advance in a group text among top officials.

9 years ago, Musk got big coverage for saying that his target for manned flights to Mars was 2025.
2025 has arrived. Those flights to Mars have not. Instead Musk has destroyed a social media co, is destroying a car co, and is wrecking US govt + US economy.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

also you fundamentally can NOT write unit tests or regressions for AI features like this because only a human being can create and interpret meaning
that throws decades of software engineering best practice out the fucking window!

A BBC study just found that generative AI can't even generate news story synopses with any consistent accuracy, and here we are happily pretending it's a symmetrical replacement for education and experience

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?
