A French military source told Le Monde that France is already carrying out undisclosed conventional military responses to Russian hybrid attacks. Asked whether Paris could retaliate militarily without making it public, the source replied: “That is already happening.”

So Trump: -attacks Fed independence -hand picks Warsh to lower rates -Warsh then is forced to raise rates because Trump started a war of choice with Iran. It's Lucy with the football but Trump is both Charlie Brown and also somehow Lucy.

There's no reason "entry-level work" should mean poverty level pay. Full time work should always pay enough to live a decent life.

I'm not saying it's anyone's responsibility to praise AI usage. I agree with much of the criticism of the tool. But for many, many people, it is a useful tech (I have talked about the ways I find it extraordinarily useful, only to have people here mock me, insisting my lived experience is a lie).

I used AI to write VBA macros that automated my Excel tasks - I know no VBA. My time went from multiple hours of data entry and cleanup to a few seconds. It took me an hour or so to vibe code the macro. That's one example of what real scientists and engineers are using AI to do

The most striking thing here is Trump floating the idea that he might just walk away leaving Iran in control of the Hormuz and securing no concessions whatsoever on nuclear nonproliferation. This would seal the deal on Trump's Iran War being the biggest failure of US foreign policy in modern times.

Justin J. Pearson has won his primary election for Congress in Tennessee. His campaign is built on one idea: government should work for everyday people — not the rich, and not corporations. That's not a slogan, it's a fight he knows well. And he's ready to take it to DC.

It may strike you as weird, but lenders *love* lending to poor people who will have trouble paying them back. Obviously, lenders want to be repaid, and the more money you have, the easier it is to settle your debts, but that means that if you have a lot of money, you pay *less* to borrow. 1/

The family stands, miserable, on the sidewalk, watched over by cops and their curious neighbors, as baliffs carry their worldly goods out of their former home. The image has been altered. It has been tinted sepia. The Apple 'Think Different' wordmark has been matted into the top of the scene. The trunk the baliffs are carrying has been replaced with a blocky Mac SE/30.

Well, this article is incredibly depressing for cooking enthusiasts. The short version: private equity has, over the last couple of decades, quietly bought up most of the classic brands you’ve heard of and then traded on their names while drastically cutting quality and closing American factories

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

My statement on the end of the old InfoWars, and the imminent beginning of a much better one.
“Good riddance to the world’s worst rubbish,” The Onion’s CEO, Ben Collins, wrote in a text to MS NOW. “The second this man is disallowed from abusing these courts, from paying out the $1.4 billion he owes to these families, we are ready to take over with something that will make you forget about what was ever there before. We have a deal with both the Sandy Hook families and the court-appointed receiver, and we look forward to taking over this hellhole imminently.” 

“War is over, if you want it,” Collins said, quoting Yoko Ono and John Lennon.
