This is just rank Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism, based on the bigoted idea that there is something inherently scary about a president with the last name "El-Sayed." It is incumbent on all of us to call it out.

They are working on it, but missiles are rocket science, and it takes time to work the bugs out. Every missile has one desire closest to its heart - It wants to explode right after launch and is prevented by tiny margins from doing so.
Astute observation because Situational Awareness Leopold Aschenbrenner worked for Sam Bankman-Fried and met his future wife at FTX.
Ozma@rowyourbot.bsky.social · 9h agoBut how many times has this happened now in some form or other? All kinds of faux wunderkind seem capable of fooling investors—we have outright fraudsters like Sam Bankman Fried but there have been others.
Why do people keep falling for this BS? The media especially. Time and time again. He — and his entire wretched family — are gaming the prediction markets, that's all. #trump #hormuz #iran @marymcnamara.bsky.social #media @cbsnews.com
And just in time, NBC News has called it for AES
Joe Adalian@tvmojoe.bsky.social · 11h agoPretty clear watching the Kornacki Cam that NBC News is telling him he needs to wrap up (guessing by 2 am ET), but Steve is begging them to let him stay on until the race is called. Give the people what they want, NBC!

Review: “Ted Lasso” returns, refreshed, to the pitch
Tanya Reynolds and Jason Sudeikis in “Ted Lasso.” “Ted Lasso” is back on Apple TV, which was no sure thing after the series more or less wrapped up in May of 2023. But it’s back for a fourth season, in which—after an episode-long visit to Ted’s home of Kansas City—the football-turned-soccer coach returns to Richmond, where—as teased at the end of season 3—a new women’s team is launching and just might need a coach. I’ve seen the first half of the season, and I’m happy to report that though the teams have changed, this is still “Ted Lasso” through and...

Russia's attack on Kyiv, killing at least 17, is a stark reminder of European failure. We need large long-term orders for SAMP/T NG and Aster interceptors for Ukraine. We need to pressure South Korea to sell air defense. We also need to transfer more of our systems
This is outrageous. We must do more to protect the skies!

Cutting Medicare Part D subsidies isn’t “fiscal discipline.” It’s a prescription for higher drug costs, more untreated illness, and greater long‑term healthcare spending. Seniors deserve stability, not surprise hikes in essential medication costs.
honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

This is a wildly prescient story about Chicago's proto-RFK Jr., in charge of public health during the Spanish Flu. He thought beer killed malaria and that bathing could kill you. He had a feud with an actual TB doctor, who insisted bathing is good. He bullied the TB doctor until he killed himself.
I was at a dinner party last where the subject of conversation turned to the NG in DC. Everyone talked about their interactions with them. They want to go back to their families and they are deeply embarrassed at standing around all day doing nothing & looking for shade. It’s a cruel farce for all.

Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
