U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

Annihilation always makes Halloween lists, so I thought I'd do a thread of creepy reads. Starting today with a flat-out modern masterpiece, Max Lury's No Ghosts. Thoroughly contemporary and disturbing grounded in deep characterization, and, in part, outdoing Back Rooms while also its own thing. 1
No Ghosts in lower left, Max Lury in lower right. White hand reaching down, two eye holes in the wrist.

I know this isn’t useful but it’s weird how “the president should be coherent” was a Very Important Thing just a few years ago and then suddenly wasn’t.

13/ By the end of 2024, FBI agents had enough evidence to pursue a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers of both political parties. They asked their supervisors to approve a new investigation. Then Trump returned to the White House.

The governor of America’s biggest blue state — now running for the Dem presidential nomination — helped tech oligarchs by vetoing Dem legislation to require those oligarchs to be able to shut off their AI if it gets out of control. I don’t think it’s possible to overstate how big a story this is.

Newsom Killed The AI Kill Switch
Before Big Tech researchers warned of a superintelligence doomsday, 2028 hopeful Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) vetoed a bill that would have made AI “kill switches” mandatory.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: an underwater submersible opens a latch and drops a red, pill-shaped crappy Bluetooth speaker. A scientist narrates, “we built a Bluetooth speaker to withstand 2000 meters.” Panel 2: the scientist, speaking directly to the camera, continues: “the squids responded really well to Nelly.” Panel 3: on the dark depths of the ocean floor, a group of squids are dancing enthusiastically around the sunken Bluetooth speaker. A couple of them are getting kinda nasty with it to be perfectly honest

I’m a Dartmouth professor. Pres. Beilock implies in this piece that she speaks for us as a college. She does not. I don’t permit AI in my classroom. Not because it stole my work; because as I wrote in @chronicle.com, most of my students hate it—and feel betrayed by the college—even more than I do.

This is large scale disenfranchisement and now SCOTUS has even less excuse not to reject Trump's EO on mail voting. Allowing him to move forward would have clear negative harms to voters that could not be reversed, even as his claim for authority over voting processes is legally dubious.
