🌀AI Models Dominate Isaias Forecast By now you’ve heard that Google Deep Mind nailed the #Hurricane #Isaias track forecast, but this shows just how dominant it was. The graph shows the forecast error… less error = more accurate…

Is there a way to characterize the accuracy of the AI models on other critical metrics of the system? Ie wind field, strength, rain, coastal flooding etc.

Absolutely stunning that in the NYT’s latest major story on Elon Musk single-handedly trying to save the GOP there is NOT ONE WORD about how he is the world’s most vocal white supremacist and advocate of ethnic cleansing.

Except that with 50 elections you are more likely to have many states, even GOP ones (eg Kemp) declare that this is wrong and outrageous and fight it in court.

Additionally, it's an attempt to usurp the power to judge the qualifications of members of the House, which the Constitution vests solely in the House itself. And there's no reason to assume she will be the last member of Congress he goes after like this. It's a direct attack on the legislature.

It matters that she's a member of Congress. This is an extreme escalation. He is attacking a member of the one body with the constitutional power to hold him accountable and check his crimes. And he's doing so trying to gin up a fake basis to strip her of her eligibility to be in Congress.

2/ Incidents like the McIver prosecution and the Omar search should remind us that the fear motivating the speech or debate privilege--from its mid-fourteenth century origins through its inclusion in the US Constitution--was the prevention of executive and judicial harassment of legislators.

I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.

Absolutely insane levels of spending by Elon Musk to help Republicans this fall, the New York Times documents. $276 million just since this summer, most of which to help Senate Republicans. Single-handedly destroying records and swamping Dem candidates. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

I do think there’s a general conundrum, which the US will have in spades if we reject the Right, of righting wrongs using the government in ways that aren’t strictly neutral. We are put into a classic paradox by the forces of the right.
