At least he's taking getting the FBI back on track by *checks notes* ordering agents to engage in a Twitter flame war with an account called "ifindr****ds" newrepublic.com/post/215320/...
A text exchange where Kash orders Benjamin Douglas Williamson of the FBI to repeatedly respond to "ifindr****ds"'s post with FBI statistics. Truly one of the most fragile things I've ever seen a man do.

i agree with the key point here and will add to it that there IS a reward, it’s knowing you did one right thing instead of walking around plagued by the nameless shame that afflicts all men who are determined to live the most frictionless lives possible

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

it is truly maddening to go most of your life hearing there are no jobs or no money when you look around your neighborhood and see so many things that need cleaning or fixing while your government blows endless cash on venture capital fabulists promising to ensure even fewer jobs and more misery

my political opinion on what Dems should do when they regain power is that they shouldn’t try to repeal all of Trump’s political policies and maneuvers, that’s not nearly enough, they need to overturn political policies and maneuvers dating back to Ronald Reagan. I wanna see pre-Reagan policies!

whatever happened to skepticism? I mean yeah sure it wasn’t cut out for the age of tech hype and influencer culture; if anything it was an enemy of their aims, so I get why it was shunted off the stage of human events. but I sure do miss it and hope it makes a comeback among the younger generations

Yes. I think the consensus among US elite pundits and senior politicians that the way to protect liberal democracy is *not* to punish elite figures who violate its rules is wrong. A norm starting at least with the Watergate pardon. The opposite is true. You need to enforce the law and Constitution.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook
X.com
Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

Took my first flying lesson! My flight instructor gave me the controls pretty much as soon as we took off, which I did not expect, and then I flew… I mean I was doing hard banking turns, corkscrews, dives, we even intentionally stalled the engine twice. And when we landed, he said I was a natural!

This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.
According to Mohamed, guards at Guantanamo have said they are being held there because that's what officials in Washington, DC, want. "There's no other nation, only Somali people in Guantanamo Bay, in the prison," he told me. "And when we ask them why we are here, they tell us... Washington...ordered to keep Somali people in the Guantanamo Bay."

"Ed Sheeran had an opportunity show that we won't be bullied into punishing people for supporting Palestine. Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows. A genocide is happening in Gaza. We all need to speak out against it.
