Aaron Swartz is no longer here to tell us what he saw like twenty years ago. futurism.com/artificial-i...
Swartz had been batchmates with Altman in the inaugural class of 2005 at the Silicon Valley incubator Y Combinator, and warned his friends about Altman shortly before his passing.

“You need to understand that Sam can never be trusted,” he told one confidante. “He is a sociopath. He would do anything.”

Í dag fékk ég endanlega staðfest það sem ég hef svosem vitað lengi, að pabbi minn er svalastur og bestur. Hver annar heldur 67 ára afmælisveisluna sína í Skopp til að geta hoppað og skoppað og fíflast með barnabörnunum sínum?

Fara "í" röntgen, og þá ertu með hittara. Láta samantektina gerast í vinnurýminu sjálfu. Eins og Alan og Denny Crane í Boston Legal, nema í staðinn fyrir að halla sér aftur og sötra viský nærast þeir á því að kveikja á græjunni fyrir hvorn annan.

Það má vera glaður yfir því að Sue Bird sé að fá styttu af sér fyrir utan Climate Pledge Arena og líka vera leiður yfir þeirri staðreynd að þetta sé í fyrsta sinn sem WNBA stjarna er heiðruð með styttu.

lol at this response to a “man on the street” interview with protestors at the Tesla diner
"He's a piece of shit, but let's get the political science stuff out of the way," Steven told me when I asked if he thought support of Tesla could be considered apolitical. "Elon Musk has platformed white supremacists and antisemites on X. He got rid of all the moderation. He put back accounts that were clearly neo-Nazis. He's changed algorithms to promote that type of hate.
Him and DOGE did massive cuts in the government, including our civil services.
He's cut cancer research. Did I mention he was a giant piece of shit?"
"He's cut our aid to Africa, which Will result, without exaggeration, in millions of women and children and innocent people dying. Millions," he said. "I'm not a big fan of people who give the Hitler salute. I mean, I'm kind of fussy like that. He gave it twice at Trump's inauguration," he continued. "He's a Nazi. And he cheats at video games. You have another question?"

No, inheritance tax isn't a double tax on your already taxed, hard earned money. You're dead. You don't pay it. It's paid, to all intents and purposes, by the people receiving the inheritance, who absolutely did not earn it, and don't deserve a massive tax free windfall.

With Andor Season 2 dropping tomorrow, it's worth recalling that Season 1 contained the best bit of writing ever in Star Wars.
There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.

Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen - he's NOT coming back.”

There is also a screenshot of the front page of the NyT with a large headline and photo about Van Hollen meeting with Abrego Garcia. They have edited the headline with red ink handwriting to say “ Senator meets with deported ms-13 illegal alien in El Salvador who’s never coming back.”
