If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

None of this should be legal. Nobody had some ethical awakening that made the new gambling era spring into existence from some need for greater individual and corporate freedoms or whatever. It's all just bribery by interested "lobbyists" in the most corrupt nation on earth.
Polymarket really has become the ultimate place to engage in insider trading on privileged information.
I'm not sure we're prepared for what happens when any outcome -- including violent ones -- can be wagered on.

Steph on the Bill Kennedy experience:
"I told him he needed to take a bow after those three challenges and knowing that he didn't have another chance at the mic he should bow to the whole crowd because he put on a great show" 😂

Remember:
When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.
When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.
ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

Been saying this shit forever. This is the one that always blew my mind. Not even J6. This is the one. We got the guy on a recording shaking down Georgia for votes. Not some aide.
Newly discovered recordings show how far Donald Trump went to attempt overturning the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
Trump told the Speaker he could call the session “for transparency, and to uncover fraud,” adding, “Who’s gonna stop you for that?” trib.al/Yk7Lyb5

Not saying the people running State are foreign agents but also if you were a foreign agent running State this does feel like the kind of thing you’d do.
Context for Trump withdrawing dozens of ambassadors
*China has invested heavily in expanding diplomacy
*The US has significantly degraded soft power
*The US already has scores of diplomatic vacancies
