It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
You guys are going to make me write about that New Mexico medevac crash, aren't you? Stop spreading articles claiming it was shot down by DOD or DHS or CBP, etc. Read the Prelim here. There was a NOTAM on the GPS being down. If the crew needs GPS to fly, then don't fly. web.ntsb.gov/investigatio...

I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”
Along with @chartrulean.bsky.social, I genuinely believe @thesojourn.bsky.social is the best audio drama in SF genre storytelling right now. $5 for everything up to this point is a steal. You owe it to yourself to check it out. Their YouTube has the first three episodes free if you're unsure.

I was today years old when I found out that actor Michael Dorn is an accomplished pilot who owned an F-86 Sabre in the 1990s. He once ran out of fuel and made an emergency landing at a military airfield. The base commander agreed not to tell the FAA in return for autographs and two low level passes…
Amnesty Int is about to learn - Appeasing the beast doesn't do anything but make it want more bites out of you. Giving in doesn't EVER work. It just makes you easier to digest. Fight and you can win. Roll over and you will be made an example of. Every. Time.
Will the Sunday shows do anything about the people who lied to their faces about this? Doug Burgum got indignant when Dana Bash doubted the 350-foot-long knifing story. Will CNN hold him accountable or just invite him back like nothing happened?

I want you to notice how the New York Times does not think it's important to mention that both the OpenAI and Anthropic "AI gone rogue" hack events were completely avoidable and caused by human error
Anthropic Says Its A.I. Systems Broke Into Computers at 3 Organizations (Gift Article)
The disclosure followed OpenAI’s report last week that its own artificial intelligence had hacked into the network of an online library.

So...the book was worth $2.5million...but the bidders hadn't actually read the manuscript?? the agents hadn't read it? How tf do you get to a 14-way auction for millions and *then* turn round to say "terrible prose, reads like slop"?
Lincoln Michel@thelincoln.bsky.social · 6d ago👀 Fascinated by the "withdrawn by its agents" detail. So the AI use was so blatant that the agents due a huge payday preemptively withdrew the contract?

I wrote and deleted several posts about the right-wing's anger towards Fauci and the continued rejection of collective action for the greater good, which seems to be the US government's MO right now.

I enjoyed Nolan's ODYSSEY quite a bit, and found it more moving than expected. I also read Wilson's critique and found that both enjoyable and insightful. It's not even really a bad review -- it's an incisive dissection from the POV of someone whose knives have long been sharpened on the material.
Oh so NOW it’s cool for nerds who’ve read the source material a thousand times to get mad about adaptations?
