I'm sorry @atrupar.com, but you must be confused. That's Klaus, Melania's hair stylist for Mondays and Thursdays.

LMAO -- Exclusive Senior Adviser to First Lady Melania Trump Marc Beckman claims Melania is "negotiating a ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine

I guess this makes OpenAI the enemy since they haven't immediately rebranded as "OpenSI"?

Trump: "The White House considers anyone that uses the term, 'Artificial Intelligence,' as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, 'Super Intelligence,' THE ENEMY! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Sure, but obviously Smith and Willis are in cahoots - they both have a letter "I" in their last names! C'mon!

Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social

Worth emphasizing that there are several layers of nuts here. If Smith had gone to an NBA game in Atlanta, that wouldn’t indicate he’d met with Willis. (Why would anyone go to the trouble, rather than just having a phone call?) And if he had met with Willis… that wouldn’t be any sort of scandal.

I guess Pentagon IT didn't have enough testosterone?

Zack Whittaker@zackwhittaker.com

The Pentagon is notifying millions of current and former U.S. military servicemembers and staff that hackers stole their *unencrypted* personal information during a months-long data breach. The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases.

What's up with all the empty seats in ATL and HOU yesterday? I understand they were early starts but this is the frickin' playoffs! Call in sick to work/school! #MLB #ATL #HOU

Has anyone done the math on this? Per Google Gemini, it would take roughly 10,500 tanker trucks to carry the same amount of oil that one VLCC tanker ship can hold. That's a fuckload of trucks and drivers!

Maciek Hamela@maciekhamela.bsky.social

With the Strait of Hormuz closed, Iraq has resorted to moving its oil across the desert to Syria in hundreds of tanker trucks, in true Mad Max style. From there, it will be shipped to worldwide markets.

Seriously, when do we start "air gapping" all systems?

OpenAI: AI agent improperly accessed Australian government files; no evidence patient records were breached

There's something about Bessent's eyes that make me trust him even less than his obvious bullshit statements.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Bessent downplays Iran attacking oil tankers: "The tankers -- they may get hit. Many of them just sail on. They just sail on."

File this in the "what could go wrong?" department.

OK, so now that Trump wants to turn the "triumphal arch" into a multipurpose facility, lets crowdsource additional ideas for other things we can get packaged into the arch. I'll start: Lets add a delicatessen and call it "Archie's". #TriumphalArch

Since this is ultimately a "Trump" project, maybe we can add a kiosk where people can apply and pay for pardons from "Trump" (in double-quotes like he likes it). We could call the kiosk "Pardon Me!"

Playing off the "Trump" angle a bit more, maybe that kiosk can be paired with an "Epstein & Me" kiosk where visitors can purchase their own Trump-autographed copy of the Epstein files? Its the ultimate gift for Christmas!

As a fish, I can confirm he's an absolute moron because: 1) Unless his hypothetical boat has a super huge battery and this boat is in a swimming pool, he's not going to be electrocuted. 2) No fish in their right mind would eat him. Too much fatty mush. We have standards too! #TrumpIsAMoron

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "If I'm in an electric boat and I see I'm going down and the water is pouring in, so I know I'm going to be electrocuted, but 5 yards away there are sharks. Do I take the electrocution or do I go swimming with the sharks? I'll take the electrocution."

This is exhibit # 1,491,201 for using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from power. WTF are we waiting for? For Trump to start literally nuking our allies and killing millions because they hurt his feelings? Is that what its going to take?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump threatens to cut off all trade with Europe if Canada associates closer with the EU

I dunno. The Chinese certainly have advanced robots and are quickly getting there with AI. So maybe Trump is right that "Robots" won't be marching into *all* "Cities". Maybe they will only be marching into those of Chinese enemies? I sure am relieved Trump's taking this seriously!

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social

Trump: “I am the Hoax Buster, and I'm right now breaking another Hoax - That Al is going to take over, consume, and destroy the World, and that Robots will be marching into our Cities, and getting rid of us all!”
