An Anthropic AI solved a problem considered a “holy grail” of percolation theory—the math of how water passes through a porous solid, like coffee grounds. The landmark proof came just days after a Fields medalist predicted it.

The American people are looking for a path through the dark and into the light. But right now, there are two fundamentally different visions of America. President Trump thinks America is the Titanic, and he's charging the passengers for a seat on the lifeboat.

Republicans are genuinely mystified as to why they've lost the support of Hispanic voters. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I try to explain to these idiots, using very small words that even MAGA can understand. link is here: bit.ly/4hjAHqE
It’s a no-brainer. You can’t have state-sponsored thugs rounding up every brown person they see and disappearing them into slave-labor gulags, and expect those same people to give you a thumbs-up and go, ‘more like this, bro.’

And not one of these act-first-and-think-never morons saw it coming.

Unbelievable.

Not even the original Nazis were this clueless. There’s no record of Hitler going, ‘what’s up with the Jews, why don’t they like us any more?’
