I’m sick of headlines treating these forays as something done independently. No. Anthropic created it. Anthropic did this. And they should be held to account, not some supposedly autonomous AI www.reuters.com/world/us/ant...

Fundamentally Neera is just like Sarah Longwell. She gets paid for this a lot of money just like Sarah. You'll notice they both always talk about data without having any self awareness or reflection to understand the ways in which they both manipulate data throughout the process of collecting it

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan
Trump's Klan rallies have always been nothing but a white trash WWE episode, except with somehow fewer teeth and even lower IQs.
holy shit -- a protester at the Trump rally gets physically assaulted after they interrupt the rally by a man who punches her in the face. Trump smears the protester as a "fat guy"

Dems really living down to expectations
SC Dem Senate nominee Annie Andrews released an ad calling trans women "biological men." She embraces sports and surgery bans for youth. Her campaign even says she won't work to overturn the HRT/blocker trans youth ban. She once argued against capitulation. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Promo clip. Beatriz Villarroel believes that Sagan's mantra that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" is damaging science. However, scientists are rightly initially sceptical of paradigm shifting ideas that upend established science. Link: youtube.com/shorts/hcvk7... ⚛️🧪

Mayim Bialik's Breakdown podcast is a wasteland of quantum mysticism and misrepresentations of science. The team tackles a particularly egregious example and discuss the negative impacts of lazy associations between science and spirituality. Link: youtube.com/watch?v=tUDa... ⚛️🧪
The country was for sale, and the stupids happily voted to make him rich to "own the libs" or something.
Trump’s personal wealth has ballooned by more than 165% since his 2nd inauguration, reaching an estimated $6.3 billion. No American president in the 250-yr history of the office has ever converted the job itself into personal income at this scale. aaronparnas.substack.com/p/major-deep...

"Were you drunk at the time? You're not just bigoted, you're mad." On Piers Morgan's show, I clashed with Nancy Mace, the insanely Islamophobic Republican congresswoman, whose own former staffers allege she has a drinking problem (which she denies). Full 'debate': www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCli...
