Robert Harrington On Thursday, with hatred twisting his snarling face, Trump lunged at a woman reporter. For a moment, it looked like he was going to physically assault her. “Not you. Not you,” Trump said. Then came the lunge and the monstrous face, “Hey, not you!”

I’ve been saying AI for a few weeks, but now that all of the AI techs are raising the alarm: Yemen. If Bab al-Mandab gets completely out of control, we’re going to see a LOT of bad shit happen. Fertilizer is already hard to come by. Oil prices will skyrocket. Food insecurity is a real possibility.

I’ve seen that theory, and the way he warns about it happening is nightmare fuel. Johnson is no longer Speaker at noon on January 3. The House Clerk prepares the roll prior to Congress losing their jobs. The theory is that they could simply leave Dems off. It wouldn’t work, but it would be chaos.

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

One thing that makes me profoundly sad when I think about 9/11: We largely saw the best of America for a while after the towers fell. The “rally around the flag” effect was real.

Well, fuck. And Diesel is already over $6 a gallon. Trump reportedly declined to help the Saudis clear the strait, too. Gonna get real stupid if the Saudis aren’t able to dislodge the Houthis.

Republican presidents are responsible for the two biggest national security failures on American soil in the past 25 years, the first through indifference, the second by design.

Here’s one for you from a Texas attendee of the midterm GOP convention: “It was like an extended pep rally for a Texas High School football game with fewer people and less energy.”

This is not satire. 🤣🤣🤣 "Inspired by the bravery & patriotism of Apple & Google, we are changing the name of 'South Park' to 'SOUTH AMERICA,'" the creators said in a joint statement. "We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount – a Skydance Capitulation." #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

'South Park' changes its name in stunt to mock President Trump

"South Park" is no more: The animated series has declared it's changing its name in a spoof of President Donald Trump's Lake America rebranding.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.
