Hunger is a policy choice. Homelessness is a policy choice. Lack of universal healthcare is a policy choice. When we have enough money to give billionaires tax breaks and bomb children in the Middle-East, but say "No" to helping American taxpayers, remember that it is a choice by Trump's Regime.

@marcelias.bsky.social : “Mr. Blanche... we have beaten you and your team in court like a drum. So I hope you don't do what you are threatening or insinuating you might do. But if you do, I will see you in those courtrooms. I will win. And then I will dance on your head for those victories.”

OBAMA: He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. It's gold everywhere.

I've seen a few posts about 'Irish slaves' going around again, a far-right talking point. While it's true that many Irish people were forced to become indentured servants, and many of those were badly abused, they were never treated as their masters' *property*. www.thejournal.ie/irish-slaves...

thejournal.ieDebunked: Irish people in colonies were not slaves - they were indentured servantsPosts that are being shared on social media claim Irish people ‘experienced the horrors of slavery’ more than African people.

A reminder: the human brain, which exhibits “general” intelligence, something AI has not achieved, uses a mere 20 watts, less than the power of a lightbulb. AI is using 100s of data centers, each needing megawatts to gigawatts, to achieve only artificial “narrow” intelligence

If an exponential increase in computing power is needed for an incremental increase in AI capability, it’s the unmistakable sign of a technology hitting the buffers.

From the "we knew this was coming, but were 'helpless' to stop it" crowd. Not only is it economic timebomb, ecological disaster, and the largest theft of human endeavors in the history of the world…but, hey, it also writes shitty vulnerable code 10X more than a human. apiiro.com/blog/4x-velo...

🚨 NEAR MISS: Never-before-seen footage of a missile attack on a U.S. base in the United Arab Emirates shows a missile striking just meters away from American personnel caught out in the open. From our earlier reporting (link in reply).

Whenever possible here on KDO, I link to paywalled articles with gift links. To help in that endeavor, I've built a gift link discovery tool called Prometheus. “An informed public is the foundation of a healthy society..." [kottke.org]

This is a terrific paper by my colleague specifically explaining what an AI enabled terror event might look like. IMO, AI companies should be held criminally liable for even “rogue” behavior that was predictably dangerous. earlywarningwithjuliette.substack.com/p/they-are-t...

🚨New paper (possibly the most important one I have written yet). We think that as early as 2027 or 2028, there might be a major AI-enabled terrorism event. We conducted a pre-mortem, made 9 falsifiable predictions, and wrote 2 concrete scenarios. Led by @kamachee.bsky.social

A Leon County grand jury found that high-ranking state GOP officials diverted $10M meant for children to the GOP's own PACs in the Hope Florida scandal. But if you talk about it, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, who is on the ballot, wants to have you arrested. So, def don't talk about it.

Mr. Hitler, sir, you are a humanitarian, just like my boss who is an avid fan of your 'Mein Kampf.' And let me salute you. I commend you.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

Utter incoherence is fine but the President who stuttered was the problem?!?

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

Something is off with Trump tonight. The gaffes, the glitches, the confusion are well beyond his usual. "They gave the wonderful peace prize, right? Does anybody know the name of that peace prize? They gave the Pulitzer Prize to a young lady."

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

It is well past the time for Americans to equate wealth and intelligence. Vivek is as clueless as F.Elon, and at a fraction of the obscene wealth.

Vivek Ramaswamy has not only confirmed the commercial with Amy Acton's estranged mother was made by his campaign, Axios also reports he's now spending $4 million to air it.

If you were ordered to destroy America from within, what would you be doing differently?

New in PN: The plot against Ukraine (and Europe) "Trump’s open effort to join nations like Iran & North Korea in aiding Putin’s murderous assault on Ukraine is nothing short of disastrous & will leave a lasting moral stain on the US. But there may be something of a silver lining to this dark cloud"
