Ossoff: "They've unleashed federal agents to kill Americans on the streets of our cities with impunity. That's Mike Collins's immigration policy. And that's what you'd expect from the bigot congressman who called for executed immigrants by throwing to their deaths out of helicopters."

Hegseth wants to livestream an execution by firing squad? Huh. If he’s gonna livestream, I rather thought he’d have gone for having him ripped apart by live tigers.

RIP Margaret Hamilton. Lead software engineer for the Apollo program. Here she is standing next to the code she wrote to send humans to the moon. Barack Obama gave her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016. news.mit.edu/2026/margare... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margare...

Ooooh! I remember hearing about this. There's an awesome course, Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior at Open Yale Courses (lectures are free to view on YouTube), where in one of the lectures Prof Stephen Stearns describes once visiting one of these lakes and watching the bats hunt at dusk.

If this isn't the most brutal of metaphors for the status of women in US politics in 2026. She's brave for running against MAGA and brave for reporting and I am wishing Greene-Placentia all the strength and healing I can.

Not all of those kids will be able to resist the russian propaganda machine. Not all of them will escape. We will be forced to face our own children on the battlefield, brainwashed and driven into the line of fire. I can’t even begin to put into words the mixture of pain and hatred I feel.

When foreign invaders occupy part of your country and turn your children, in their own schools, into soldiers trained to come back and kill the rest of you once they grow up, it’s… it’s just unspeakable evil. It is unfathomable tragedy for Ukraine.

Turns out we don’t have to invoke weapons of mass destruction when talking about ocean heat uptake. The ocean absorbed a record-breaking 23 zettajoules of heat last year, equivalent to 40 times the energy used by humanity. It’s not going to end well.

It’s always been my view that she should run for Senate. She can handily win and keep this seat. And she’d be the right hand a democratic president needed and a legendary lioness of the senate besides. She’s shown real talent as a legislator & the caucus respects her.

He said the imprisoned protestors have become essential to the protests' identity & necessary to keep them going? Excellent! GD can strike a fatal demoralizing blow to the protests just by releasing everyone they've imprisoned! It'd be diabolically clever … if only they were capable of being clever.

To protect customers from rising electricity prices, public officials are urging data center developers to supply their own power. But this approach risks privatizing the power grid…

I’m suddenly struck by the thought that if we ever launch a Voyager 3 that’s destined to eventually cross the heliopause and enter interstellar space, it should have this engraved on its Golden Record.

The classic line-drawing from the comic series XKCD by Randall Monroe, depicting a complicated looking tower of variously dimensioned rectangular blocks stacked carefully atop one another labeled “All modern digital infrastructure,” and down at the bottom right corner is a thin little peg keeping the whole thing from falling over into pieces labeled “A project some random person in Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003.”

If you showed up at Defcon and gave talk about how your autonomous malware did something unexpected and damaged someone else's computers, the first question from the audience would be "Why are you so shit at making secure sandboxes?" It wouldn't be "How are you so awesome at making hacking tools?"

It's a Python loop and a chatbot. The people responsible didn't accidentally create god: they created autonomous malicious software and then failed to closely monitor it, resulting in it doing something both foreseeable and bad.
