"One senior official, speaking to Transformer on background due to his ongoing involvement in the industry, likened AI companies’ security research to “discovering someone was doing bioweapons research in their kitchen, and saying it was okay because they’d washed their hands.”"

Frontier AI companies – OpenAI, Anthropic and the rest – are operating some of the most sensitive sites for the USA’s national and economic security Read @jamesrball.com on why the startup approach to security is no longer fit for purpose: www.transformernews.ai/p/openai-spy...

North Vietnam in 1965 did not have anything close to the current military capabilities of Iran. But they continued to fight for another decade until we finally had enough. They were fighting for their country, we were not. Just as we are not now.

Even for a regime with more scandals than you can count, this ranks near the top as one of the most egregious and criminal abuses of presidential power in history.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".

X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups

The claim that "Israel wants to kill its way out of every problem" is the sort of thing that tends to draw a DOJ investigation and the blocking of federal funds when made by campus actors.

Vance blasts Israel’s response to Iran deal: “You're a country of nine million people. You can't just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem that you have.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has ordered the IDF to seize 70% of the Gaza Strip, far beyond the terms of the current ceasefire deal. An audience member shouted that Israel should take “100 percent” of Gaza, Netanyahu responded: “We’re going in order,” not ruling it out.

Jeffrey Epstein's best friend: “I was particularly impressed by those children, they were happy... they were beautiful.”

Disgusting moment when China forced school children to hop “gleefully” in front of Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend.

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.

Phang: In one of those “you only believe it if you read it” moments, Politico says there are Republicans on Oversight who support the idea of convicted felon Trump giving a pardon to Ghislaine Maxwell. The fact that that is even being considered by House Oversight Republicans should disgust you.

The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow. Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance. Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

Money will be made by Iran, since your deal just allowed them to charge $2 million per ship to pass through—a fee that never existed prior to the war.

There's pretty convincing evidence that this dude raped children. There's no bottom to the infinite moral perforation in his soul. We're not actually feigning surprise, right?

A decade ago, if you asked me if a person who was repeatedly kicked, punched, assaulted, and violated by the same dude, who insists every instance of violence was a total accident, would be able to recognize that the violence was in fact intentional, I would have said yes. How naive I was.

This is a post about the power systems in this country. This post is about "journalism" and corporate media. This post is about neo-liberals and "centrists". Though I won't be surprised if the intended meaning is lost to most.

Global events are *screaming at the top of their lungs* that it's a terrible idea for your country to be addicted to fossil fuels. The lesson could not be more blunt & obvious. But of course incumbent interests have a lock on the information sphere, so only a little squeak is actually getting thru.

Israeli National Security Minister, and war criminal, Ben Gvir, outside the Knesset chamber, celebrates with champagne and smiles the passing of the death penalty law for Palestinian detainees, the majority innocent civilians, declares happily: “Soon we will count them one by one.”

"Jews don't belong in American society." Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America. But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

Isn’t it strange how everyone that gets arrested for something connected with Epstein, Donald Trump feels sorry for that person? No such words of sympathy for the Epstein survivors though. There’s a reason he’s never sued anyone for calling him a pedo.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Sam Levin@samtlevin.bsky.social

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting. But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

Confused? Let me help make sense of this. The American right’s claims about any constitutional rights only apply to them. There. Now you perfectly understand their claims on gun rights, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion.

People don’t want to hear the atheist for fear he may be right. They would rather be lied to for it salves their desires and behavior, quenches their thirst for arrogant immortality and frankly is easier.

Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed in their home by a man pretending to be law enforcement. Now independent journalist Georgia Fort has masked men at her door. This isn’t law enforcement. It’s tyranny. They’re going after the press. They want them silenced.

“Hey, can we just talk about life right now without bringing up politics?” “I want to know talk about human biology but can we just ignore blood and bones? And also organs. Tissue as well.” “I just want to focus on matter itself and not carbon. Can you just leave carbon out of everything?”
