White House is violating court’s order with impunity, and CNN, MSNOW, and Politico are heading back to court. DOJ’s options are to admit incompetence or confess contempt of a court order and the rule of law.

I heard on the radio earlier that Chat GPT & Google (Deep Mind) are advocating for gov't regulations of AI. And Anthropic is talking abt possible "doomsday" type scenarios. IF the people working on developing the thing are raising cautionary flags, it begs the question- why continue working on it?

Se me olvidó mencionar que el 23 de septiembre también es el aniversario 25 del asesinato de Filiberto Ojeda Ríos, comandante del Ejército Popular Boricua-Macheteros, a manos del FBI. La Comisión de Derechos Civiles de Puerto Rico declaró su asesinato como ilegal. #VivaPuertoRicoLibre
On Friday, September 23, 2005, while the 137rd
Anniversary of the
Grito de Lares was being commemorated, the FBI surrounded the home of Puerto Rican independence leader and commander of the EPB-Machteros, Filiberto Ojeda Ríos, in the small town of Hormigueros, Puerto Rico and fired more than 100 bullets.
According to various reports and investigations, including that of the Civil Rights Commission,
Filiberto was alone in front of more than 200 FBI agents who did not provide medical attention to Ojeda while he bled to death.
Filiberto's murder was met with public outcry and widespread criticism of the FBI, even from those who didn't politically agree with him.Filiberto Ojeda Ríos ondeando la bandera de Puerto Rico

I'd thought this was maybe overblown since dropping a specific mention of bestiality as part of a normal update because it's awkward and antiquated and doesn't really ever come up or whatever, but no I guess this actually was Kash had his ear bent by some weirdo pleading about how unfair it was.

Just another day where White House officials say the kind of shit that would've previously kicked off a months-long debate on civility
Steven Cheung: Jon Jackoff has to be the biggest cuck loser in politics. Instead of denigrating hard working people serving their country, Jon should look deep into his soul and ask himself why he's a miserable person who hates this country. It's because he's a radical, extremist Dumocrat.

Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton coined the term “software engineer.” She directed the Software Engineering Division at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab & led development of the on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo Guidance Computer. She was born #OTD in 1936 & turns 90 today! #WomenInSTEM
Two side-by-side black-and-white photographs of pioneering computer scientist Margaret Hamilton (born August 17, 1936). The left panel features a mature, close-up portrait where Hamilton gazes directly at the viewer with a serene, confident, and reflective expression, framed by her long, dark, slightly silvering hair. The right panel is a famous archival photograph showing a younger Hamilton standing indoors next to a towering stack of bound paper binders containing the Apollo Guidance Computer source code, which she led the development of at MIT. She is smiling broadly and wears a striped, long-sleeved mini dress with dark Mary Jane shoes and glasses, resting her hand proudly on top of the massive column of printed code. The overall composition contrasts her youthful triumph with her enduring legacy, capturing an optimistic, intellectually rigorous mood that highlights her monumental contributions to space exploration.
