Some notes now that I’ve seen the transcript of the hearing, thanks to @lizdye.bsky.social . First: the government dismissed the felony count in an effort to convince the judge not to make them produce full transcripts, knowing they showed serious misconduct.

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors
or surrender accepted;
(2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such
that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted;
(3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable
ability to accept surrender would exist;
(4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate
forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and
(5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Currently working on one of my favorite pieces ever: The Hater’s Guide To Oracle. This company is so stupid and Larry Ellison has bet the farm on OpenAI having $300 billion to give it over five years. Larry Ellison is H.R. Geiger’s Jerry Stiller and he’s rigged his company to blow

Did I mention that Oracle took on $56 billion of debt to build data centers specifically for OpenAl? Or that the banks who invested in these deals don't seem to be able to sell off the debt?
Let me put it really simply:
- Larry Ellison's wealth is almost entirely tied up in Oracle stock.
- Oracle's stock is tied to the company "Oracle," which is currently destroying its margins and annihilating its available cash to buy GPUs to serve a customer that cannot afford to pay it.
- Oracle has taken on ruinous debt that can only be paid if this customer, that cannot afford it and needs to raise money from an already-depleted venture capital pool, actually pays it.
Oracle's stock has already been punished for these debts, and that's before OpenAl fails to pay for its contract.
- Oracle now owns part of one of its largest cloud customers - TikTok - that loses billions of dollars a year, and the US entity says, per Bloomberg, that it will "retrain, test and update the content recommendation algorithm on US user data," guaranteeing that they'll fuck up whatever makes it useful, reducing its efficacy for advertisers.
Larry Ellison's entire financial future is based on whether OpenAl lives or dies. If it dies, there isn't another entity in the universe that can actually afford (or has interest in) the scale of the compute Oracle is building.
We are setting up for a very funny and chaotic situation where Oracle simply runs out of money, and in the process blows up Larry Ellison's fortune. However much influence Ellison might have with the administration, Oracle has burdened itself with debt and $248 billion in data center lease obligations - costs that are inevitable, and are already crushing the life out of the company (and the stock).
The only way out is if OpenAl becomes literally the most-successful cash-generating company of all time within the next two years, and that's being generous. This is not a joke. This is not an understatement. Sam Altman holds Larry Ellison's futur…

Federal kindergarten vaccination data shows national rates for four major vaccines, which had held steady before the COVID-19 pandemic, have fallen significantly since. In fact, measles vaccination rates were below herd immunity in most states in 2023. ➡️ Read more: propub.li/40KnM8n

A U.S. tile map that depicts the measles vaccination rate for kindergarteners (according to CDC data) in each state from 2013 to 2023. A key explains that for each state, a gray dotted line represents the benchmark for herd immunity: a 95% vaccination rate. Vaccination rates above 95% are shown in blue, while vaccination rates below 95% are shown in orange. Looking at the full map, the trend lines lean much more orange than blue. Measles vaccination rates in most states were below herd immunity in school year 2023-2024.

Cynthia Olivera is a Canadian who’s been living in the US since she was 10

She’s in ICE custody, after being grabbed at her green card interview.

The 45 year old wife & mother has been moved between facilities while her husband begs ICE to let her get on a plane to Canada. 🧵

They’re willing to pay. She’s willing to leave. But she can’t escape.

This is why we call them concentration camps.
