I sat next to David at a big party sipping a cocktail watching him bang out tippers into the wee hours.
This man personifies dedication.
This is a loss for the community.
Scoop: The lone employee behind CISA's Pre-Ransomware Notification Initiative resigned on Friday rather than take a forced reassignment to FEMA.

CISA says PRNI will continue, but sources said David Stern's loss will be a major setback for it.

Venezuela should stop provoking a nuclear power, pledge neutrality and choose a leader America approves of.

Apparently that's how this works.

The aversion to public transport in large, modern cities is clutching to old, dead ideas.
I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left). For a better future, build transit & price driving!

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Unacceptable
So probable cause is now just...going to an East African restaurant
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

Infuriating.
Unforgivable.
George Retes is a U.S. citizen and Iraq war veteran. He was detained by ICE and held in solitary confinement for three days without explanation.

George shared his story before Congress to make sure no American has to endure the same abuse he did.

To be clear, they only tested the two — the assumption is all 72 birds had HPAI. Which um isn’t great.
"The Ohio Department of Agriculture says two of the 72 black vulture carcasses cleaned up from a Clermont County elementary school’s campus tested presumptive positive for bird flu."

Come on Rand, you're sooooo close.
Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

Generally, you never want to see something like this from one of your top 5 adversaries who is also actively killing people in a war they started.
The Kremlin has welcomed changes in the U.S. National Security Strategy, saying the adjustments that marked a radical departure from Washington's previous policy were "largely consistent" with Moscow's vision.

This is an excellent article that lays out just how utterly broken the entire AI business ecosystem is. Personally, I think even this is optimistic about the prospects of the technology.

I project that in retrospect, it’ll become the most embarrassingly obvious business failure in our lifetimes.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

This is a painful read and you should absolutely read it. ICE is the Gestapo and they’re running torture facilities right here. These concentration camps are illegal and everyone involved in their operation needs to be held accountable in court.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
