Just a reminder, we don't have AGI. LLMs do not get AGI. Jensen just wants to goose his stock prices.

The families care not at all about this irrelevant ruling which affects only two of the 19 claims they all share. Jones still faces over a billion dollars of liability, so this changes absolutely nothing. All it does is highlight the absurdity of Texas law. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.
Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social · last mo.The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.
Nina Simone wrote a song so furious after Medgar Evers's murder and the Birmingham church bombing that she called it throwing ten bullets back. She later said it cost her a career. She never once regretted it. zurl.co/X56t7
What Nina Simone Can Teach You About Refusing to Compromise - That Eric Alper

So, I have been listening to @socialistdogmom.bsky.social's Weird Little Guys on the Mississippi Burning murders (and all about Medger Evers). The questions that stick in my head are: 1. How can you be in an organization that is killing little kids in a church and th8nk you aren't in the wrong? And
Ohio Republican Vivek Ramaswamy hired his mother to manipulate clinical trial data for an Alzheimer's drug he owned the rights to, which he used to inflate its stock price and cash out before the stock tanked. But his opponent is a Democrat. Our rating: Lean Republican.
I need to start wearing a mask or something at work. Apparently, my work face ranges from "What is it now?" to "The fuck you just said! Imma throw hands, a-hole!"
When Cramer says it's great, you know is sucks. He's the patron saint of failing stocks and companies.

It pisses me off that the message here is you can fail so badly you have to lay off 40% of your staff, then say "It's because AI!" And then the market rewards you.ale.Jack SHOW how AI is really replacing people, because I be the real story is his business is failing and poorly run.

Trump is named to be a rapist by a victim in the Epstein files. time.com/7342332/trum... Hegseth committed a war crime by ordering the shooting of survivors of a sunk boat. Trump committed a war crime by invading another nation, kidnapping their leader, and starting another war of comquest.
Trump Named in New Epstein Files Published by Justice Department

Hey, just in case you forgot, Trump is definitely lying about Epstein and all of this shift is to deflect from that.
This would be a great question to pose to the White House. If you believe that federal officers can kill individuals who disobey their orders, does that mean you think the Capitol Police should have opened fire on January 6th? Do you think Ashli Babbitt deserved to die and others should have too?
Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com · 9mo agoAlso, by their own standards, the cops protecting the Capitol on Jan 6 should have opened fire all over.
Venezuela, the gift that keeps giving, for Trump. He can wag the dog on Epstein, show off his fascist strong man bonfires, and hide the crater in the budget that his tarrif policy has made.
