Just in time for Christmas! Little Susie will be able to get TWO dolls this year.

I'm not making a prediction, but I think that as between Anthropic and OpenAI, Anthropic has the better chance of long-term success. 🧵⤵️

I wonder whether Flavio Bolsonaro will end up in the cell next to his dad's when all is said and done.

That giant sucking sound that you hear is the money we're borrowing to pay the interest on the money we've already borrowed.

Apparently the Justice Department is looking for a third rake to step on in its dogged pursuit of James Comey. This one looks even more desperate.

TANSTAAFL. I don't actually understand this, but there appears to be a misunderstanding among city administrations and low-income housing advocates that if they just push costs onto developers — who then pass at least some of the cost along to market-rate buyers/renters — those costs disappear.

This will make Mike Johnson's job more interesting during the two months before the next congress takes office.

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

WTF!!!!!

Anthropic has filed its S-1 with the SEC. If you'd like to read its preliminary prospectus, you can find it here: www.sec.gov/Archives/edg...

Donald Trump is not against voter fraud as a matter of principle (he has no fixed principles), he's against voter fraud that doesn't benefit Donald Trump. Likewise, he sees everyone who opposes him, no matter how slightly, as an enemy who is part of his voter fraud conspiracy fantasy.

Ballooning crisis: helium deemed critical. #econsky

"How do we tame the corporate monsters to the point where they can be held accountable for making these destructive products? And here are two answers: by wielding the tools of product liability law and antitrust reform."

I assume they're doing this to attract more eyeballs.

upselling people fighting for their lives to expensive plans under the pretense of being anti-war, how very noble of you sir

What on earth did they THINK would happen with a meet up like this within two weeks of an election?! Pope Leo needs to appoint guardians for these guys; they're clearly not able to function by themselves in today's society.

It's easy, for men especially, to be drawn to female narcissistic psycopaths — especially if, like Elizabeth Holmes, they're conventionally attractive, smart, well-spoken, have an interesting story to tell, and willing and ablevto effectively use every gendered manipulative tactic there is.

I can't stop laughing! 🤣🤣🤣

Motorcycles have fit only one cop at a time for more than a hundred years. This is just a flying motorcycle.

I don't much care if these companies track me — we're way beyond the point where one more makes any difference — but I still take satisfaction in the fact that our 25-year-oldbdumb TV probably can't do any tracking. www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

Russia, and the Soviet Union before it, has interfered in one way or another in our elections ever since the 1920s, yet they've seen remarkably little return on their investment. This time *could* be different. They're putting a lot of effort into attacking Abdul El-Sayed. We'll see if that works.

It's dispiriting that in the nation whose people have benefited more than any other from the scientific revolution of the past 100+ years, only 52.5% of people trust science "a lot". In 1957, that number was 90%. Source: www.princeton.edu/~ota/disk2/1...

“Novatek said on Friday that in fact, it was moving to acquire ‘minority shareholder’ status in the Polar LNG project — a striking effort by the Russian energy giant to seek ownership of American gas production.” We don't need Russian participation in our energy sector.This is another gift to Putin

Doctor joke!

"Habemus Payout” – ending years of legal theatrics (and bankruptcy threats), 2.5M-member NY Archdiocese reaches $800M settlement for 1,300+ cases: US’ 2nd-largest single deal. Its total is still dwarfed by the $1.6B LA paid over 2 state "windows."

This revelation just makes the Ramaswami campaign's actions so much worse. Vivek Ramaswami has all the character of something I'd scrape off the bottom of my shoe. 🧵⤵️

Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host turned podcaster, told the Financial Times in an interview that he badly misjudged his sway over President Donald Trump. "I got completely deluded," Carlson said. "Like I so overstated my power that it was embarrassing. He didn't care what I thought at all."

This seems counterintuitive — and also a good thing. Print book sales in the U.S. are up nearly 25% from a decade ago, and the number of independent bookstores has risen 70% since 2020.

This just keeps happening.
