Six years ago this week, a fly attempted a brazen attack on VP Mike Pence during a live debate. Today, another fly (potentially an associate) attacked Sen. John Hickenlooper, leading Hick to slap his own face on television. These flies are a menace.

ICE probed hundreds of voter registration groups across the U.S.

The agency also contemplated deploying undercover agents to "initiate prosecutions" against the groups and "dismantle" them.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

This is awesome!!! Brought back an old memory, too: A friend and I went out one night in high school and turned all the speed limit signs on this road near his house upside down. We unbolted them, flipped them over, and reattached them to the posts. Pretty harmless and we had lots of fun doing it

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

In a new interview, Bill Gates speaks to the imminent dangers of unregulated AI that could easily result in mass death. He does not hold back. (Gift link to the full interview: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/o...)

So why is anything needed beyond — and is anything needed beyond? — the simply natural incentives under capitalism and normal corporate reputational management?

Well, I almost can't believe you're asking that. This is the most dangerous thing that humans have ever gone near.
In other areas, do we just say: Hey, release your drugs? There's no F.D.A., there's no airline safety board, there's no requirement that cars use seatbelts. Do we just use the liability laws to try and keep humans safe? You know: Oh, you're shipping opioids. Somebody should just sue you.
I mean, we've created a society that tries to keep people safe not by saying: Oh, we can bankrupt the person who does that.

And you say there's filtering. There's no filtering. You can take an open-source model that can create bioweapons and disable any monitoring of any kind, and this exists today.
So no, there is no filtering of any kind.
And so say you kill 100 million people — you want to use a lawsuit?
I almost can't keep a straight face.

And part of the reason I'm speaking so loudly — as loud as I can — is that you can't rely on the industry to self-regulate here. I mean, it's just insane.
The only question in my mind is: Do we wait until a cyberattack causes massive damage and a bioattack causes massive damage, and then the monitoring safeguards are required in these models to minimize the chance of that happening many, many more times? Or can we be wise enough to put these things in and require these things to be put in before millions of deaths?

I suspect they’ve been directed to push Rahm and ignore his problems by their corporate overlords, who see which way the wind is blowing and hope to usher Rahm into the spotlight so they can get “their guy” into office - another corporate D who will say the right stuff on TV but won’t regulate them

My daughter is a senior at one of the top art schools in NYC. The school relies heavily on foreign students. Enrollment in that category is down something like 60% so the school has cut all kinds of things, like students’ access to studio space at night. It’s a mess and the kids are pissed
