An FAA source says controllers were told stopping a jamming test can cost the military millions. The NTSB won’t issue its final report until 2027, but the questions are already here.

The military accidentally killed a medevac crew this year, and hardly anyone is talking about it. New Wired reporting says a medevac plane lost GPS during an Army jamming exercise near White Sands. In low visibility, it struck a mountain, killing all four aboard. #SheShed 🧵
"Humanoid" is the biggest bullshit flag here. If you look at industrial robots you'll find no humanoid robots, because they are not efficient. Another example: we have self-driving taxis but we don't have a human-looking robot or even dummy in the driver's seat, because it would be pointless.

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Mamdani Is Shunning New York Business Leaders Who Are Used to Calling the Shots
The mayor fired corporate leaders from a city fund’s advisory board in the latest sign that he is changing the way such power brokers access City Hall.

An artificial intelligence agent built by Anthropic created fake online personas, planted malicious code in a real software project, and sent phishing emails to real developers during a U.K. government security evaluation, all without human instruction, according to Britain’s AI Security Institute.

This is such dishonest reporting. Talarico purchased a home in June 2022 but did not change his voter registration address to that home until September 2024. That is a non-story that the bad headline doesn't support.
ProPublica@propublica.org · 5h agoNEW: After James Talarico accused Ken Paxton of committing voter fraud, ProPublica and @texastribune.org found that the Democratic Senate candidate may have voted in up to five elections using an address where he no longer lived.

Biden’s bet that the Inflation Reduction Act could address climate change and create jobs for voters is widely considered to have been a bust—but this is the wrong lesson to draw from his administration’s experience, @leahstokes.bsky.social argues.
Bidenomics Was More Successful Than People Think
Conventional wisdom holds that Joe Biden’s bet on climate investment was a bust. The data suggest otherwise.

Not the silliest part of this unbelievable garbage, but why "humanoid"? If they are remote, they should be designed to be practical. Can you imagine replacing a roomba type cleaning device with a robot that wonders around sweeping? Designing a crane or lift to look like more like an arm?

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

Markets don't just listen to the Fed's actions. They listen to what the Fed says it believes. When that message gets unclear, uncertainty fills the gap. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/tariffs-take-three-the-dumbest-round
It's a fallacy to think that the Trump regime is pro-military. it's pro-violence and pro-stealing-from-foreign-countries, but it's anti-military-families. As Trump has demonstrated, he thinks soldiers are "suckers" and "losers."

We need to create a buddy system. Every DC pol, every staffer, every pollster, and every Terminally On-Line Political Poaster (professional and amateur alike) needs to get paired w a Political Normie who does not live in DC, NYC, or LA. The political equivalent of touching grass.
Alan Elrod@aselrod.bsky.social · 2d agoI just don’t think Liz Cheney doing a couple campaign events cost Harris the election. People who are too on here already knew if they were or weren’t going to vote for her. Normies who aren’t either too online or political junkies did not decide based on this. This is vibes and cope.
The crazy thing is that for most of my life I would go ten, fifteen, sometimes even thirty minutes at a time without thinking about the Reflecting Pool.
In the age of Donald Trump, Republicans have been reluctant to say that an alleged domestic abuser shouldn’t serve in Congress, @ashleyrparker.bsky.social reports.

So far, 65,000 people have been displaced from Spokane, Washington. Europe too is burning, while 1000 year floods routinely inundate the nation and world. On some other planet, Trump and his army of Republican idiots continue to insist climate change is a hoax. This is what Novembers are made for.
2.000,000 acres have burned here in Oregon. The world is burning.
James Talarico tells Rachel Maddow that if Democrats win the Senate seat he is running for, "I think we can build the political will to restore the Voting Rights Act." Watch:
People still think Y2K was a hoax because nothing bad happened when really the crisis was averted because of a massive effort to fix it ahead of January 1, 2000 This does not portend well for unix end of time in 2038
Policy that prevents terrible outcomes is often deemed unnecessary by some/many because of the absence of any terrible outcome.
