I’ll never forgive that stupid ass Showtime show for portraying him as some crazed ranting lunatic when every contemporary account of him described him as one of the most lucid and clear-minded thinkers of his time, whose actions were driven by a devotion to abolition not bc he had some screw loose

Assume AI training for K-12 is a good idea. Schiff's bill, the LIFT AI Act, is a grant program for the National Science Foundation. The NSF has no director. The nominee is a Thiel acolyte with no science degrees. Trump just fired the entire Board that oversees NSF. No. Absolutely not.

Comic panel of Donald Duck and a wide-eyed young Mickey Mouse. Donald's speech bubble: "Democrats should do a huge middle class tax cut to address affordability." Mickey's speech bubble: "Fool that you are, for you treat taxation as a burden rather than the means by which our burdens are eased. Behold a civilization rich in private wealth yet starved of public provision, where every man owns what his grandfathers could not imagine and yet trembles at the thought of how he will weather an illness or loss of livelihood. Will you fight for an affirmative vision of broad contribution and universal benefit? Or will you perish like a dog?"

If we somehow got an aggressive liberal president they'd be constantly accused of "Trump-like tactics" and they should start practicing now how to say "Yeah I did that and it was good." The familiar cautious approach full of self limiting caveats and hand wringing would be a failure

Looks like AFT is receiving $23 million from Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic to push AI onto educators via "trainings" apnews.com/article/arti... news.microsoft.com/source/2025/...
From AP News: "Microsoft is contributing $12.5 million to AFT over five years. OpenAI is providing $8 million in funding and $2 million in technical resources, and Anthropic has offered $500,000."

Media Matters analyzed a year of NYT coverage of anti-trans bills and found that 66% of the time the paper didn't quote a trans person. Further, it found that the paper often quoted right wing sources without mentioning their histories of anti-trans rhetoric. So "right-wing rag" is pretty accurate.

Residents are chiding the council and mayor for saying they had no idea this facility was being bought by DHS. “It was your job to know,” said a speaker who called the council “failures.” Another said they wouldn’t be making these “we can’t do anything” excuses if it was a proposed homeless shelter.

Finally, I can’t think of a more obvious moonshot project to spur advanced manufacturing in America generally than making it our goal to have Waymos or robo-Teslas — or any other brand of self-driving taxis that we can make — operating in every city in America. Because if you look under the hood of any Waymo, it is made up of chips, batteries, sensors and other components that also go into every part of the 21st-century industrial ecosystem — including robots, drones and flying cars — all infused with artificial intelligence.
