On February 3, 2024, Special Counsel Jack Smith watched Caitlin Clark drop 38 points, 12 assists, and 6 boards in College Park, MD. The Republicans in the U.S. Senate seem to think this happened in Atlanta, GA (which also has a suburb called College Park). Rookies. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Today, Pranshu Verma of the Washington Post reported that earlier this month, the U.S. and Russia worked together to weaken a United Nations plan to regulate AI weapons. They stripped out a provision to make sure humans review the targets AI has selected for a military strike—a provision that would likely have avoided the U.S. strike on the Iranian school at the start of the Iran War—and took out requirements that AI systems must act in a “predictable” and “reliable” manner. They also removed a requirement that those using the systems take “ethical considerations” into account.

When historians look back on Trump's foreign policy in a century, I bet these are their verdict on his most famous policies: The support of Russia--the most evil. The pillaging of Venezuela--the most corrupt. The decision to go to war with Iran--the most incompetent.
