Aaron Swartz is no longer here to tell us what he saw like twenty years ago. futurism.com/artificial-i...
Swartz had been batchmates with Altman in the inaugural class of 2005 at the Silicon Valley incubator Y Combinator, and warned his friends about Altman shortly before his passing.

“You need to understand that Sam can never be trusted,” he told one confidante. “He is a sociopath. He would do anything.”

one explanation is that chemicals in the air or water are making everyone stupider every year and we haven’t noticed because we’re all too stupid. this hypothesis would help explain why everything and everyone is really stupid now

52 senators voted in favor of allocating an additional $70 billion to fuel ICE and Border Patrol's campaign of chaos and violence in our communities without any reforms. The House of Representatives must reject this bill and any attempts to give ICE more money to violate our rights.

Reminder: giving "well-off kids" a free lunch is a tiny, tiny thing to their parents and to the taxpayer. Giving free lunches to poor families is a massive help. Policing who "deserves" lunch costs far more than just giving everyone an equal benefit, and doesn't stigmatize anyone.

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

‘The greatest ambassador for life on Earth’: Tributes paid to David Attenborough on his 100th birthday
Naturalist says he has been ‘overwhelmed by greetings’ as milestone is marked with event at Royal Albert Hall David Attenborough said he had been “completely overwhelmed by birthday greetings” for his centenary on Friday and thanked wellwishers “most sincerely”. The naturalist said he had hoped to celebrate his 100th birthday quietly. Instead, the milestone will be marked with a live event at the Royal Albert Hall broadcast on BBC One, featuring music from his programmes as well as stories and reflections from public figures and leading advocates for the natural world. In a recorded audio message shared on Thursday night, Attenborough said: “I had rather thought that I would celebrate my 100th birthday quietly, but it seems that many of you have had other ideas.

DOJ identified 4 green card holders who voted in 2024 in NJ, or 0.00006% of total votes. As I wrote in 2024, noncitizen voting remains extraordinarily rare. Audits find only a tiny handful of cases, most often green card holders who got bad advice from others.
What do those 68 cases tell us? First, it demonstrates that proven cases of noncitizen voting are incredibly rare. Even an organization engaged in a major effort to document voter fraud produced fewer than 70 proven cases of noncitizens who voted in elections in the last 40 years.
Given that over one billion votes have been
cast over that period in thousands of elections, the incidence of proven noncitizen voting is below 0.0001%.Third, the data tells us that most cases of noncitizen voting involve lawful permanent residents-people with green cards who have been in the community for years, many who end up voting due to bad information given by government officials themselves.
The most common scenario in the cases
included in Heritage's database includes a lawful permanent resident who was encouraged by a government official to vote or falsely told that they were eligible.

The government just gave a $2.4 billion subsidy to the fossil fuel industry by cutting the gas tax, an industry currently seeing record profits. Anyone who's angry about that same government spending $27 million a year on health care for anyone is a piece of shit who's also really bad at math.
