Timnit Gebru, 2026 Right Livelihood Laureate & pioneering AI researcher challenges the concentration of power in the tech industry, argues that behind "autonomous" AI systems are humans deciding whose data is used, what resources consumed, who owns the technology-and are responsible when harm occurs

Now seems like a good time to say that the more I look at what doge did with USAID the more it looks like a straightforward eugenics project and Elon’s protests that he didnt know anyone might die seem doubly evil

I first started working in the Senate in 1970–56 years ago. I have loved and revered the institution, worked in it and with it over all these decades, with dozens of senators from both parties. I’ve seen bad stuff and bad people along with great ones. Nothing quite compares to Eric Schmitt. 1

Erickson likes the play the prudent Just-the-Tip Trumper, so occasionally (more often lately) he has to denounce the less-well-concealed racists in his own party and movement to cover for his own blindingly obvious racism. This is from the same email!
This is Good
I am increasingly of the mind that Islam and the United States are incompatible. Islam, like Communism as an ideology, is more than religion.
It is a socio-economic system and we're starting to see enclaves of Islam in the United States that are deeply hostile to Western values and not just refuse to assimilate, but demand special treatment and exemptions.
So this is good.

Whether it’s Benjamin Netanyahu empowering Hamas, presiding over a massive intelligence failure that let them kill 1,200 Israelis on October 7th, and then killing 74,000 Palestinians in response or Zohran Mamdani pointing out that he did this, both men have fueled their bitter feud.
