LIVE REACTION: Trump Delivers Speech To UN Amid War In Iran

A recording from The Bulwark's live video

@eggerdc.bsky.social on Trump attempting to rename “Artificial Intelligence” to “Super Intelligence.” “It's such a kindergarten-level of understanding of anything that's underway here…The one you can't argue with is that it's artificial.”

At least six people are dead and more than 100 missing after an Indonesian ferry capsized due to bad weather.

“The national discussion we’re about to have over AI is necessary. And it could well be healthy. In a self-governing democracy we shouldn’t simply sit back and watch a truly transformative technology move ahead —undebated, unchecked, and unguided.” www.thebulwark.com/p/ai-is-a-te...

AI Is a Test of Our Maturity. *Gulp*

A sad truth is most companies do not know how to assess quality of knowledge work. This is why they resort to RTO policies because they can’t simply judge if people are working better or worse from home. This is also why they think all AI usage is good when most of it is obviously counterproductive

Dolly Parton was a real one. RIP.

Dolly Parton on funding education and childhood literacy programs: My daddy was the smartest man I have ever known, but I knew his inability to read probably kept him from seeing all of his dreams come true. Inspiring kids to love to read became my mission.

RIP DOLLY PARTON (1946-2026) I really really liked, admired & respected you. Truly. Godspeed.

This description, to anyone who did not watch the speech, defines the act of Sane-washing Trump’s behavior @anntelnaes.bsky.social

Excuse me? It was an unhinged, grievance-filled, sexist performance. "The president’s hour-long speech was mostly lighthearted and sarcastic, with occasional swipes at the news media, a profession he eventually said he respected, praising journalists for doing an 'amazing job'."
