To be clear, we're talking about a *literal* take-no-prisoners approach. This is not a metaphor. We're describing the Secretary of Defense in literal terms as a guy who is genuinely committed to doing war crimes

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

There are very few absolute Truths. Most truths are subjective.

This is why facts are more important than truth.

She does an excellent job using facts to demonstrate the problems with truth.
This is incredibly accurate😬

If the US can do whatever it wants to whomever it wants with no regard for human rights, the Geneva Convention, US law, the UCMJ, or international law, then we are no different than Vladimir Putin and Russia, who I suppose was the role model for Trump foreign policy doctrine.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

"We have an utterly lawless administration at home and abroad. Do we just have to live with it for at least three more years?" Well, *someone* could do something. A few hundred folks in the Capitol.

In a pilot study, A.I.was able to accurately predict the type of coda, the whale’s vocal clan and the individual whale with over 90% accuracy.
... it might be possible to use A.I. to find patterns within the vocal data and eventually translate what whales were saying to one another.

AI is being used to decode the language of sperm whales and potentially enable the first two way interspecies communication.

I am down for this kind of AI application.

"...The number of people living in extreme poverty...fell...even as the global population nearly doubled."

“...after 2030, the number of extremely poor people is expected to increase.”

"...it wouldn’t be because the tools...stopped working. It would...be because of the success of those tools."
A shocking new warning about global poverty should unsettle everyone
One of humanity’s biggest achievements may be slipping away.
