Q: Many feel you have not addressed the fact your son in law is a white supremacist influencer. What have you said to your family? COLLINS: That's my family OSSOFF: Imagine running for Senate while neo-Nazi propaganda is disseminated to an audience of millions from your home. That's Mike Collins.

This post is demonstrating an extreme problem for Democrats which is that no matter what they do, there’s a lot of clicks to be gained by constantly criticizing them

If you want a "Trump cancelled a gov't program that made this outbreak worse" thing to be mad about, there's a much better one! Trump's FDA + Congress cancelled a program that actually WAS going to allow rapid ID of where outbreaks came from. www.marlerblog.com/case-news/ta...
Screenshot from Bill Marler letter. "...Which is precisely why the Food Traceability Rule matters. FSMA Section 204 requires lot-level records at every critical tracking event and delivery of those records to FDA in a standard electronic format within 24 hours. It was supposed to be in force on January 20 of this year. FDA proposed pushing it to July 2028, and Congress made that stick. Had it been operating, the 27-state distribution list and the real names behind those eight codes [customer codes that Taylor Farm listed in their recall letter] would have been in FDA's hands in a day- in May. Instead we got them in the third week of July, from a corporate website, as abbreviations."

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

He told us in 2016 what was at stake. Didn't listen. He told us again in 2024. Doubled down on petulance. Too eager to punish Dems, but now they're demanding that one out of office for almost a decade to be their magical Negro superhero. Own your shit. Choices were clear.

College freshman today were 6 years old in the 2012 election. A student of mine (age 20) told me after class that he appreciates when I explain how US politics and media were different before, because the Trump era is all he’s seen. This is what young Americans think politics is. It’s normal now.

Here's a pistachio one from India! "real milk chocolate, a filling of chewy caramel, the goodness of pistachio and almond, and kesar-flavored nougat. The kesar nougat offers a saffron and honey-infused flavor that deliciously highlights the nuttiness of this must-try Snickers bar!"
a Pistachio Snickers bar from India--the rapper is green and the writing is in the snickers font (blue with red border) but under it says Kesar Pista there are a few pictures of pistachios and cardamom (?) on the wrapper as well.

Clio is Anthropic's new system for identifying AI risks that it hadn't thought to look for — what it calls the unknown unknowns. I talked with team that built it and share for the first time the top three ways people use Claude www.platformer.news/how-claude-u...
In what the company is calling a first for a major AI lab, the Clio paper also highlights the top three categories of uses for Claude:

Coding and software development (more than 10 percent of conversations) 
Educational use, both for teachers and for students (more than 7 percent)
Business strategy and operations, such as drafting professional communications and analyzing business data (almost 6 percent)
