X's Community Notes are increasingly submitted by AI writers. In a new preprint, X open-sourced its Community Writer tool. A dive into the data underpinning it revealed that in Sept, six AI writers run by X's team wrote 90%+ of all AI-written notes, and 55% of notes that showed up on posts.

Paramount (the Ellisons) buying CBS, then blowing up CBS news, kneecapping 60 minutes, and killing the Late Show is not culture warfare. It's suicide bombing.

The other photo shows him in a blue denim Western shirt with blue jeans made with camp pockets.

Then why are people mockingly calling it the Epstein War? I figured it was because Yahu told Trump that he would leak Mossad's copies of the 20 years of recordings of Trump having sex with kids if he didn't use US military infrastructure to wage a proxy war. So, we got the 'war' part wrong?

ICE’s tactics have been terrifying and tragic, but Minneapolis is responding in incredible ways. Residents are organizing, feeding and housing their neighbors, and putting real social infrastructure in place. What’s taking shape isn’t just a reaction, it’s a blueprint for resistance.

When someone claims social media brings out the worst in people, they must mean the compulsion to reply to every post which makes us emotional with a fragment of an idea and sharp criticism of that which we superficially understand. What if our worst is also our most common act?

The laziest, weakest attitude is "I don't give a fuck." Hey child, I wasn't asking you for one. On the contrary, I'm out here collecting fucks, and in my expert opinion, your fuck isn't worth shit.

A few more things that stood out to me: the breathtaking poverty of the country, the binge drinking in civil and military society, how pervasive the black market was nearly everywhere, how callous people were about the cost of the war even for their own family members.

A "mile" is derived from Latin "mīlle passus" or "1000 steps" & was defined as the distance a legion would travel with 1000 double steps (left/right pace), which was 5000 'Roman feet', where pace = 5 feet. The *foot* was Marcus Agrippa's. So a mile is a decimal unit for steps with SI traceability!

A group of Roman soldiers with bright red shields decorated in yellow. They are 8 deep and 4 across in rectangular close formation, armor and helmets shining in the sun. Behind them is a wooden structure across what looks like sand or light dirt and a small patch of grass.
