RT @_NathanCalvin: This was from June. OpenAI disclosed 6 more misalignment incidents September 16th but didn't include this one. We cannot let this become normal. OpenAI either didn't know this happened, or knew it happened and didn't say anything. Either option seems very bad.

RT @AndrewCurran_: Australia has been hacked. 'And today, I spoke with the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, to express Australia's extreme concern about this incident.

Trump posts about a “new” deal with Greenland and Denmark which appears to be just about exactly the same as our current deal with them, but nobody tell him that.

Another case of “let the Wookie win…”

I'm glad we're not invading Greenland, and we've instead reached an agreement to... [checks notes] keep everything the same as it was

As Eisen explains, an insolvent company can go to bankruptcy, but an insolvent non-profit foundation goes to receivership, meaning the court appoints a new fiduciary. The exact opposite of what they wanted!

The judge asked the govt if the Kennedy Center is going bankrupt. You should've seen them backpedal Why so fast? If it's broke, a court puts someone else in charge & they lose control of it @cnn.com👇 -TN

You would think the nephew of John F. Kennedy, who currently holds a position in the Trump administration, would have something to say about the potential destruction of the beloved Kennedy Center, but I guess letting children die of preventable diseases is a full time job.

If ever a case were made to get all of your stuff and things out of the cloud and amass physical copies of everything, here is a prime example of why: PBS Could Lose 70 Years of Historic Archive Footage Over Cloud Dispute | PCMag share.google/mVR4o9Uk84T9...

Second quarter 2026 terrible for my small business. June worst month since February 2025. We make precious metal jewelry for just regular folks. I can tell you, it ain’t a golden age.

Trump claimed his tariff grift would bring about a golden age of American manufacturing. Yet since his re-election, we've lost 75K manufacturing jobs. Over the same period, Biden had created 625K🇺🇸

Lets consider for a moment the ramifications of the plane lacking proper protective safeguards. Maybe for the best if its security remains inadequate…

BREAKING NYT: The Trump admin sought the phone records of several Times journalists and their relatives — including one reporter's mother — in its effort to unmask the confidential sources who had provided information for articles about the security capabilities of Trump's new Air Force One jet.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

Alex Aronson@alexaronson.bsky.social

Amy Coney Barrett just told Congress that it would be inappropriate to explain the reasoning behind the Court’s unreasoned shadow docket orders. As if unreasoned judicial orders are a thing. They are not. The reasoning is the whole point.

So totally this. A frighteningly large percentage of the country (and SCITUS) can rationalize ANYTHING.

Slaughter is an earthquake: SCOTUS has overturned a 90-year-old precedent that facilitated much of modern governance by granting many agencies meaningful independence from the president. Now SCOTUS crushes that independence ... for seemingly every agency except the Federal Reserve.

When is private property not private? When someone with a gun wants to enter. 🤷‍♀️

1. Real Change PAC, a super PAC that purports to be "committed to progressive values," has spent millions of dollars in Democratic primaries. It is actually a Republican front closely tied to House Republican leadership. An email completely exposed the dirty tricks operation.

A MUST READ ARTICLE ".....More strikingly, the date July 4, 2026, appeared repeatedly across what seemed to be legitimate .gov infrastructure—in a pattern suggesting that date may mark when the original government sites go dark and the new White House-controlled copies (VOTE.GOV) go live."
