STEVE BALLMER IS SAFE — PABLO TORRE AND THE PULITZER PRIZE BOARD ARE NOT
It took almost a year to free the Clippers owner from salary-cap circumvention, and while a still-messy NBA carries on, what happens to a podcaster and a board that gave him a prestigious award?

I would not have predicted a senate primary would be the event to make me realize Bluesky is not now and maybe never was a place for good faith discussions, give and take. But it’s happened. New mgt is going to wreck it anyway. So long.

Yes, whenever you hear stuff like this - AI inevitablism from respected creators and normally trusted sources - remember that nothing in your lifetime has had so much money spent on convincing you that it cannot fail and that we desperately need it, consequences be damned.

Powerful narrative by the Vatican.They are actually thinking and reasoning through the issue (I.e. this is not dogma). Silicon Valley /et al, if they read this at all, will feel the burn. Well formed trolling of them on the one hand, but thoughts everyone should be considering, Catholic or not, imo.

Pleased to speak with the BBC tonight about the Trump administration's killing spree at sea. On the law, the term for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict is murder. As for effectiveness, the strikes are not a serious counter-drug effort. It is a killing campaign for kicks and content.

An aspect of this story is that removing federal employees rights makes them less able to resist illegal actions. Its illegal to put living people on currency. But the Trump administration just pushed out the public employee. This is what they mean by "The Deep State."
The director of the printing bureau, Patricia “Patty” Solimene, and other staff repeatedly explained to Beach and Brown that there were legal and procedural obstacles to producing the note and that it would take years longer than they envisioned, the four employees said.

The two political appointees were dismissive in response, two of the current employees said.

“She had told them we’re not authorized to do this. We can’t progress any further, and all the stakeholders have not even met to discuss the next steps,” said one of the employees. “Currency often takes six to eight years to produce a new bill, particularly one of such high value.”

Solimene said she was abruptly reassigned from her post by Treasury management on April 27, writing the next day in an email to colleagues that she was leaving with a “heavy heart.” She wrote in her goodbye email, a copy of which was obtained by The Post, that she had been reassigned to another job in the Treasury Department and that her departure was “not my choice.”
