America.gov launched today--a DOGE initiative to use AI to deliver public services. Child lying facedown on a frozen lake as the image accompanying the question: "How can I invest in my child's future" is just incredible. Way to go AI
Image of a child lying facedown on a froze lake.  above is the portal where you ask AI questions about government services.  the question matching this image is:  "How can I invest in my child's future?"

Because the US government is effectively a monopoly lender/monopsony purchaser of student loan risk, I always thought that they should use that purchasing power to get universities to commit to reducing the rate of increase for tuition, but instead we get bullshit like this

really incredible reporting on Kimberly Guilfoyle (US ambassador to Greece). She's made it her mission to promote US LNG in southern Europe also lots of bizarre details illustrating Trump admin's gangster diplomacy www.wsj.com/articles/kim...

a man in a trenchcoat and rimmed hat, wearing shades with a smoke in his mouth, is secretly opening his trenchcoat to show a computer inside that says 'they say elephants never forget...' on the screen in bold white caps text, as he looks the other way. a man standing close by in a suit, tie, rimmed bowl hat, seems aware that he is being shown this, even though he is not directly looking at it. a hand protruding from behind his back is pressing a key on the keyboard (or typing). behind them is an elephant, its trunk reaching for the computer.

Just a remarkable choice, this headline. No other leader of any other country in the history of the UN would get that headline after giving an address with that quote.

This seems like a pretty big deal: donors made illegal contributions to Susan Collins and then were awarded lucrative contracts after her office intervened with the Navy. An FBI investigation was dropped under Trump. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...
To skirt campaign finance laws and conceal the source of the funds, Navatek planned to funnel the donation through a shell company. The CEO wanted assurance that Collins would know where
the money came from. Reed confirmed that she would, the executive said - and that Navatek would get its government contracts.
After the Corner Bakery meeting, Navatek's CEO, Martin Kao, sent an initial $150,000 to the Collins super PAC using the shell company. Two months later, he told Navatek executives that Collins committed to getting the company $32 million in naval contracts, according to an internal company email reviewed by ProPublica.

The entire article is fantastic, but the writer's definition of a trad wife is *chef's kiss* perfection. "Those are conservative women who dress like the women in The Sound of Music, but without the opposition to the Anschluss."

Very Serious People think it's a sign of Very Seriousness to tell Democrats to throw a constituency under the bus. (Also at least some of these people are themselves transphobic but want to disclaim responsibility by stating it's simply clear-eyed political strategy)

Times/Sienna now finds Americans preferring the Democratic Party on immigration by 7 points. The pundit claim that Americans should acquiesce to ICE secret police murdering Democrats in the street and disappearing people to secret camps because it's what Americans want and will always want was wrong
Regardless of how you might vote, please tell me which party you trust to do a better job handling each of the following:

Lowering the skills required to hack into the rural electric coop to bring down its billing server, when it's also possible to bet on the operational stability of RECs, is not neutral. AI does not have to bury you in paper clips to do bad things in the physical world of firmware controlled devices.

I'm not going to get into it deep in the bowels of someone's mentions but if you're repeatedly repairing an ancient appliance, e.g., dishwasher, clothes washer, etc., you have almost certainly spent more in repair and *energy* costs than you would have buying new at some point

I lost it at the anecdote about a corporate icebreaker that included the question "when was the last time you felt alone." If you subject me to that it's 50-50 that I look you dead in the eye and say "when I was doing 5-6 day stints of chemo during early covid and I couldn't have any visitors"
