Just a reminder: teachers are not permitted to give school children an aspirin or a cough drop. Sex change operations are NOT being done in schools.

Hey Congress, can you go ahead and impeach and remove the Russian asset in the Oval Office so we can patch up our alliances and stop openly supporting our adversaries? Thanks.

Surely all of the GOP dingdongs feigning outrage about Jack Smith getting their phone toll records via subpoena will have something to say about a full-on raid of the residence of one of their colleagues. 🦗

AI taking over software development is frustrating because engineers are being asked to relinquish control while also still being 100% accountable. Conversing with a precocious code toddler and then having to thoroughly proofread a huge volume of code is certainly a job.

Still laughing over the complete and utter incompetence of the GOP in their efforts to please Dear Leader by smearing Jack Smith. It went so so so badly. Also, thanks to Ted Cruz for the refresher on what "cringe" looks and sounds like.

I really don't know why the GOP keeps inviting smart, honest people to testify in Congress. Today's soundbites: * Jack Smith saying clearly and forcefully that the President committed crimes after the 2020 election and Senator * Senator Schmitt's truly idiotic blunder of mixing up sports teams.

Oh my god. I had not seen the clip of Lindsey Graham's sister accusing Smith of bullying her brother and him responding that Graham was actually helping and likely would have been a witness in the prosecution. Absolute clownshow.

Wow. Congressional hearings like this are always full of attempted gotchas and grandstanding, but this is the most incompetent questioning I have ever seen.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

I was listening to a discussion about AI and one argument was people don't want data centers, but also want to use ChatGPT on their phone. Nope, not me. If the only way to access LLMs in my personal life was via subscription, I simply wouldn't.

My company pays for a work subscription for me and I do find it useful in some coding activities. But for everyday life? Nope. Not a meaningful difference. It doesn't help with a single thing I don't like doing.

This is why I think his plan to make voting harder backfires for him. So many of his voters are low-info first time voters who will ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and stay home. Meanwhile, I and my friends will wade through molten lava to vote against the MAGA dipshit up for re-election in my gerrymandered district

I didn't take notes on this dive from April, but from my photos, the nudibranchs were clearly plentiful and the visibility was good. Good stuff! #NewEngland #nudibranchs #scubadiving #underwaterphotography #olympus #om1 📷 🦑

Low tide dive at Peirce Island in New Hampshire with absolutely awful brown viz. That said, the nudis were still out in force, so I still took a lot of photos without wandering very far. They did need some extra color correction though... #nudibranchs #underwaterphotography #scuba #om1 🦑 📷

I know the oil industry has its hand in everyone's pocket in DC. Seriously though, come for the pollution free power, stay for the energy independence. If "America First" was a real ideology instead of just xenophobia, energy independence would be at the top of the list.

OWL UPDATE! I went back to the place where I saw the crashed juvenile great horned owl and spotted two juveniles in that exact same tree. Looks like the crash victim made a full recovery! Yay! Original blog post: buff.ly/A2p7VtP #owl #greathornedowl #birds #wildlife #blog #owlet #om1 🐦️ 📷 🦉

Such an obviously fake image, yet here people are in the quote posts breathlessly expressing wonder and awe. If you see unbelievable, uncredited images from vaguely named aggregator accounts ("Ethereal Earth" for example), they are almost certainly fake.

I've replaced my highly-skilled workforce with a claw machine arcade that runs on coal and only takes hundies. Someone who is good at the economy please help me budget.

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...

U.S. intel also indicates that Iran retains about 75% of its pre-war inventories of mobile launchers & about 70% of its pre-war stockpiles of missiles, per a U.S. official. The regime has also been able to recover underground storage facilities & repair damaged missiles

Coryphella verrucosa nudibranch with a looming open barnacle. Can you spot the other macro beastie in the image? Captured with my Olympus OM-1 + 60mm macro lens #macro #underwaterphotography #scuba #scubadiving #nudibranch #olympus #nauticam #NewEngland #wildlife 🦑 📷

White-breasted nuthatches are quite common around me, but I'm always entertained by the way they walk around every surface as if gravity doesn't matter. Olympus OM-1 + 150-600mm telephoto. Prints: buff.ly/dioufR2 #birds #nuthatch #tree #nature #birdphotography #photography #om1 🐦️

I don't think my day can recover from "I thought it was me as a doctor." Let's call it a wrap.

Whew! Hillary Clinton this morning on the US-Iran talks that fell apart: “This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don’t see this administration either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing it…”

No seriously though, what does the Trump administration think they negotiated with Iran? It is communication and diplomatic malpractice to not counter Iran's published list with their own.

Hey you guys remember when the Clintons got dragged in to testify in front of Congress about Epstein and the only thing that came out of it was a bunch of GOPers showing how profoundly stupid and incompetent they are? I know that was like 7 years ago at this point, but good times.

IMO, The war is going so badly they're digging up Epstein to distract from the carnage.

Guys, Melania needs your help clearing the air about the Epstein stuff because it's not like her husband's personal attorney is running DOJ and the political party her husband wholly controls is in charge of both houses of Congress. How can she get help on this matter?
