Real integrity would be respecting the red card anyhow and playing one man down. Then if we lose, we still “win” on integrity ⚽️🇺🇸✊ But now even if we win, we lose—because the dictator intervened and tainted the game 🤢 #WorldCup #FIFA #USNMT #USA

Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US

This painting, titled Bord de Seine à Argenteuil (Banks of the Seine at Argenteuil), was created by the renowned French Impressionist artist Gustave Caillebotte in 1888.

The work highlights Caillebotte's signature of structured geometry, combined with the classic Impressionist atmosphere. The horizontal division clearly separates the composition between the solid forms of the buildings and the flowing movements of the water. Shimmering reflections. The lower half of the canvas is dominated by vivid, broken brushstrokes that depict the golden and cream facades reflected in the moving water surface—light and atmosphere. By using a varied palette that shifts from earthy yellows and warm brick tones to thick, stormy greens and grays in the sky, Caillebotte captures a specific, heavy atmospheric light.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

NYT on Feb. 13, 2026:

The visit also demonstrated the relative foreign policy inexperience of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a few overseas trips since taking office but does not sit on any House committees devoted primarily to world affairs. She struggled at times to formulate succinct answers at a nighttime panel session, during which she was asked probing and specific questions about how to respond to international crises.

Questioned about whether the United States should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island, she stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response.

“I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, before saying that the country should try to avoid reaching that point with China in the first place.

NYT on March 16, 2026:

On Monday, Mr. Trump claimed that “numerous countries have told me they’re on the way,” noting that President Emmanuel Macron of France would most likely help in the Strait of Hormuz and was an eight out of 10. “Not perfect, but it’s France,” he said.

Others are not demonstrating sufficient enthusiasm for his demands, he said.

The transformer architecture is feed-forward. The only feedback loop in an LLM is via autoregressive inference, and that's a single, discrete, low-bandwidth bottleneck*. If you believe that's enough for an LLM to be 'conscious', then you must also believe either:

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region. A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Been thinking quite a lot this week about one of the very first cases I tracked of ICE detaining a U.S. citizen A year ago, ICE agents detained a 20 YO they said swerved his car at them But local Utah police checked security footage. And it wasn’t true ksltv.com/local-news/u...

Unified police say ICE agents made inaccurate claims about driver swerving toward them - KSLTV.com

Two Utah police agencies said ICE agents made false claims about a driver swerving toward them during a traffic stop last week.

It was genuinely an honor to meet Mr. Chavarria at Tuesday's hearing. His story is incredible; grew up in a refugee camp in Honduras, graduated as a valedictorian at 15, got scholarships in the US, met his husband here, became a US citizen, and is now a school superintendent in Vermont.
