What happens when Ukraine stops risking lives and starts risking everything on innovation? Ask Russia's cardboard-waving soldiers.

As Putin's forces dug in for traditional siege warfare, Ukraine's Third Assault Brigade dropped the rulebook entirely — launching the planet's first human-free assault without a single Ukrainian boot on the ground.

The family of a green card holder “was told he died in ICE custody. Then they learned he’s alive — in a hospital in Guatemala, they say.”

When this is all over—and I have to believe it will be over one day—there need to be trials.

I always forget about this group but I think it’s great. Ted’s hikes is a group that organizes regular Bay Area hikes where they meet in San Francisco and take transit together somewhere to hike together.

I usually meet interesting people of all ages here. Not cliquey. I’ve been a few times

It’s a great way to learn how to get around to do outdoor things with transit

#AI is a marketing term; before we discuss "AI is fake" vs "AI is real" we need to unfold what we *mean* by AI.

For example, "artificial general intelligence" is fake and can't hurt you. Layoffs excused by "AI efficiency" are real and can hurt you.

Linkedin discourse is fake - but it CAN hurt you.
