A reminder for Corporate Democrats: New research from Yale found that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. It's no surprise why the majority of Americans — including 90% of Democratic voters — support it.

Fair winds and following seas Commander Pavel Chekov. Rest in peace Walter Koenig. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful character.

Data centers are pointless, they're not needed. You can LLM models locally if you want them. The only reason the hardware is expensive is because nVidia is keeping supply off the market by forcing the operators to keep buying chips they'll never use. Microsoft and AMD sell devices with local LLMs

Lula's call for Brazilian AI sovereignty is significant. But independence from American and Chinese technology is only the beginning. Who controls Brazil's AI infrastructure? Who owns the data? Who benefits from the productivity? Sovereignty must extend to the Brazilian people, not just the state. 🦁

A reminder: Lula’s politics centre the environment, which he mentioned immediately after, so I’m hopeful he’ll thread this issue carefully and with all needed consideration. His current mandate brought down deforestation levels to its lowest numbers since measurements began being taken in 1988.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Jared should be charged in NY state for bribery, money laundering and maybe RICO. Because his corrupt ass is getting a pardon.

Jared Kushner helped MBS cover up the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. During Covid he seized PPE to stockpile & took millions in PPP loans. Then he got $2B from the Saudis. I'm not suggesting Jared's corrupt as fuck, I'm saying it outright! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
