That said, if AI wants to invite regulation, the government should certainly take the regulation. Good regulation is almost certainly not what some of these AI czars want.

It is fascinating how much more visibly steamed DC reporters get about powerless members of Biden's family (or Biden himself) compared to Republican counterparts. Not a defense of Biden, but Dave and others take it way more personally.

Arena ban "TBD"? Amazing players, amazing sport, the W as an organization is a joke. Banning Kanter from games is the easiest decision ever. www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Sources: Kanter Freedom not WNBA-eligible; arena ban TBD

The WNBA has not announced any plans to ban Enes Kanter Freedom from attending future games but, according to multiple sources, the ex-NBA player will not be eligible to play in the league.

Some people are so universally beloved that I think we shouldn’t be told when they die. Let us figure it out eventually but never receive confirmation. We should always be able to idly speculate that somehow there’s a chance they *could* still be alive

Was a national civics competition for high-school kids ... Rigged? Biased? Botched? I followed one family through Trump's patriotic contest and found a remarkable story about our age of suspicion. For @notus.com: www.notus.org/national/ame...

Suspicion and Doubt at the National Civics Contest

America’s finest young scholars competed to mark their country's birthday. It led to a disputed finish in the age of mistrust.

More seriously. Being able to rescind a red card suspension would be a welcome rule change. Making up said rule change on the spot because Trump wanted it - well, uh ... U-S-A, U-S-A

The president of Cornell hit two students with his car, lied about what happened, and got away with it. The story illustrates an under-reported crisis in higher education: administrators and the trustees they answer to are increasingly hostile to the idea of college itself. I wrote about it here:

Ok there's a lot of incorrect information going around on this, so I want to be clear that the problem with the Big 3 and EV's isn't that the Big 3 didn't want to make EV's. The problem, as with so many things, is Trump. I'm gonna do a little thread on this because people don't seem to be aware. 1/x

Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Over just five days, the justices had decided the issue. Even as they debated the Obama plan’s possible burden on the power industry, in the entire chain of correspondence obtained by The Times, not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.
