We’re letting CEOs race to build technology they admit could threaten humanity, then trusting them to write the rules? JB Pritzker has the right comparison: put a high school ethics class in charge. They could not possibly do worse than these chuckleheaded clowns in White House.

Spent time with some of my fellow museum pieces at the Canadian War Museum. Pictured with me is the Cougar. That’s one of the armoured vehicles I trained to drive and be a gunner on. It’s also the one that almost killed me twice. Grateful to the museum for the free admission and a meal as a vet.

The Washington Post's tagline, Democracy Dies in Darkness, was dead wrong. It dies at 2 a.m. in social media screed with Ai imagery. It does not quietly, but obnoxiously loud. It dies not with just tears, but many cheering it on, because they got to "own the" others they disagree with.

Cryptocurrency, and stablecoins in particular, are very useful for illicit actors to evade sanctions, finance terrorism, and launder money. And there is increasingly little reasonable prospect of effective regulation. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/t...
