““I don’t know what the Supreme Court will decide,” Ms. Wilcox said. “But I had to fight this. Not just for me, but for working people, including those who have cases before the N.L.R.B., and to fight for the agency.””

“I think the name is a huge part of its problem,” said Adam Alter, a professor of marketing at NYU. “To pretend that an A.I. version of friendship is just as good as or maybe better than the real thing contradicts the sense that genuine friendship can’t be simulated by nonhuman agents”

Trump (1) reveals he doesn't know what habeas corpus is and (2) punts to Noem, who famously revealed her own ignorance at a Senate hearing when she defined habeas corpus as "a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

I have a friend who owns a restaurant. He says tourism and travel to DC in recent months has devastated many restaurants in DC. So, yes, Trump is lying. Again.

Trump: "You can go and eat at the restaurants. The restaurants are booming. They were closing one after another and now they're booming, they're opening. Nobody has ever seen a transformation like they have in Washington DC. It's as hot as it can get."

feels like it should be a big deal that the president is directing the invasion of american cities based on what are almost certainly AI videos shown to him by his staff

maybe one of our ostensible news organizations could track down exactly what it is that he's seeing

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

The IDF took 3D animations from the Scottish Maritime Museum, a cyberpunk project and other places to make shit up about Gaza, Lebanon and Iran and these were reproduced in international outlets for the past 2 years.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

The biggest reason I can't take this opinion seriously is because I can guarantee that Mr. Nichols has not written about the dehumanizing language toward trans people all year by Republican politicians. To me, that is far more profane than VP Harris or Mr. Schumer uttering the word "fuck" publicly.

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.
