Follow your heart, but let reason and science guide when clarity is needed.

Rubio has made a mockery of his position by politicizing his responsibility to the U.S.'s national security and diplomatic efforts. The individuals chosen to serve our country as diplomats swear an oath to the Constitution not political loyalty to a wannabe king.

Tom Skerritt, an Emmy-winning actor with roles in "Picket Fences," "Alien" and "Top Gun," dies at 93.

Talarico: Elon wants our land. He's already trying to buy one of our beautiful state parks down in South Texas. He wants our water for these AI data centers. And he wants his very own personal United States senator — and that's what he thinks he can get with Ken Paxton.

Even if you're not an old-timer who was around for this era of computing, you may well enjoy seeing what was involved in getting a _program_ running in that era — or checking out the fully-working version of the game that is embedded in this piece. (There is, of course, a little Prince detour, too.)

Who is safer when America forcibly detains a woman who has called this country home since she was 6, is a mom to four citizens, and is a military spouse? This is a disgrace and we need to force a change with our voice and our votes.

Later in the semester we’ll tackle things like consciousness and morality. Simple stuff.

If you know anything about this investigation or the subpoenas (or anything else) — in terms of the U.S. Attorney's Office, Main Justice, or the courts (or White House?) — reach out. I'm at crg.32 on Signal.

So, if this is a Minnesota grand jury and the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office, I feel like we really should be knowing more about what is happening here, if for no other reason than that legal reporters are more well-sourced in this region due to Operation Metro Surge. That said, reach out to me!

Sen. Angus King says he sat down and made a list of everything Putin could possibly want from an American president. His conclusion about Trump? “This guy, this president, is doing almost all of them.” King then goes through the list. WATCH.

There’s a lot going on. The question is whether all the activity is moving us toward a safer world—or whether the government’s actions are giving us more crises to manage. Right now, that's sadly easy to answer.

Azerbaijan denies report of link to German spy scandal reut.rs/47FiEFC

This👇 is an oft-told story amongst the "olds". I'm not sure I buy the veracity, but it does capture the nature of normalization. Overlapping generations remember things from different contexts & they change over time. I guess what I'm saying is: Language is weird & it's young people's fault.

The President wants to arrest journalists for doing their jobs. He’s attacking the right of every American to know what their elected leaders are doing. Generations have fought and sacrificed for our freedoms. We must speak out and defend our rights now.

Trump must return this money to the American people, and there must be a full investigation into this gross waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars.

There's no ifs, ands or buts about it. The war in Iran, the senseless, reckless war that Donald Trump brought us into with no plan, is the primary cause of skyrocketing gas prices and inflation.

Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon describes how AI-fueled universal income might look

Voters don’t know who to trust anymore. So they’re asking ChatGPT. @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and Amy Walter hear from people using AI to fact-check Facebook, understand the news, and cut through their own information bubbles.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

@eggerdc.bsky.social on Trump attempting to rename “Artificial Intelligence” to “Super Intelligence.” “It's such a kindergarten-level of understanding of anything that's underway here…The one you can't argue with is that it's artificial.”

At least six people are dead and more than 100 missing after an Indonesian ferry capsized due to bad weather.

“The national discussion we’re about to have over AI is necessary. And it could well be healthy. In a self-governing democracy we shouldn’t simply sit back and watch a truly transformative technology move ahead —undebated, unchecked, and unguided.” www.thebulwark.com/p/ai-is-a-te...

🚨BREAKING: A whistleblower claims in a new report that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has embarked on a “secretive, rushed” effort to implement President Donald Trump’s mail voting order ahead of the midterms, even though the order is currently blocked. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A sad truth is most companies do not know how to assess quality of knowledge work. This is why they resort to RTO policies because they can’t simply judge if people are working better or worse from home. This is also why they think all AI usage is good when most of it is obviously counterproductive

Google’s rapid adoption suggests that it will continue to rename geological features based on executive orders, which may only embolden the administration to rename more areas.

Abdul El-Sayed: “Canadians are like the only people in the world who are going to preemptively apologize for something they didn't even do. So if you're starting a trade war with Canada, it's because you're the asshole.”
