This entire fiasco is an indictment of Tennessee. Not just for capital punishment and gross incompetence, but for the callous failure of a system that allows a person with FASD to become so dangerous and endangered...

Before "Al Gore invented the internet", Silicon Valley was somewhere people competed on innovation and ideas. "Al Gore inventing the internet" taught them that real power comes from regulatory capture. Seemingly unrelated, Anthropic decides to write about GLM 5.3.

A tale of two Pacific LNG project announcements. Canada's LNG2 expansion on an existing terminal. And the combined pipline and terminal project announced yesterday in Alaska. I suspect only one is going to get actual capital and support - and it's not the one with the fictitious timeline.

The tragedy of the Schmitt/Smith Hawks/Hawkeyes stupidity is that it has complete overtaken the actual story. No one is talking about the reality that the sitting president was indicted twice for trying to steal the office. Instead the "news" is about how Schmitt is a dumbass.

The Rationalist school of philosophy should be renamed the post-hoc Rationalization school. Its a framework for justifying all manor of bullshit self serving greedy decisions and gaslighting the victims of those decisions.

2⃣ Yorgen Fenech told the police while he was under arrest that his share of the murder cost was €120,000. In his formal police statement, he refused to say whether he paid the money and he did not deny paying it. #DaphneCaruanaGalizia

3⃣ Yorgen Fenech was charged with complicity in Daphne’s assassination and with criminal association. His police statement was played in court during his jury trial for Daphne's assassination. Despite Fenech admission in his police statement, the jury failed to convict him.

"Republicans understand that people aren’t going to read the documents behind their conspiracy theories. The truth is hard to understand and often involves complexity and nuance. They’re able to win the narrative war that way, & it’s having real consequences on people’s lives." — @ninajankowicz.com

When this US administration is over, and there is a public accounting of the crimes, otherwise "respectable" business leaders will feign "we didn't know", but their reputation and their histories will be forever stained. They will have no respectable legacy.

One of the tricks that SpaceX has pulled off with its fast track into the indexes is that it is now a permanent member of the corporate welfare class. The government would hurt retirement funds if it cut its contracts for SpaceX, and Musk gets to ride along on that.
