“Where’s the $50,000?”

At no point in this appearance did Homan deny accepting the money

-- He only said that he didn’t do anything illegal, as the DOJ confirmed.

And of course they would
—the agents who caught Homan with the bribe last September were reportedly waiting to see if Homan would act on the bribe as a member of the administration

-- but Trump’s DOJ closed the case.

China completely halted purchases of US soybeans, leaving American farmers without their largest buyer as harvest season begins. This represents a catastrophic $12.5 billion market loss for US farmers. China accounted for >50% of America’s soybean exports before Trump’s tariffs triggered retaliatory duties. Brazil & Argentina have filled the gap, with Brazil exporting a record 2.474 billion bushels while Argentina’s elimination of export taxes prompting immediate Chinese purchases

@heidilifeldman Taggers need to get busy covering every surface in Portland with Epstein in clear legible letters. Make sure he can't use a single image of this nonsense.

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

Florida is now an open-carry state. You can carry a gun — and even brandish it — almost anywhere except these places. Naturally, the Florida Legislature and the Governor’s mansion are out of bounds. What a shoq, eh?

Barely a week goes by without me using a device that requires WebUSB or WebSerial to use a web based flashing or configuration tool.

I am literally not exaggerating. Apple and Mozilla need to wake up and get on board. The privacy and security arguments against implementing these APIs are complete bullshit when you consider the alternative right now is installing a random executable native app from a small hardware vendor that likely doesn't even have signed binaries.

"This is as malevolent as it is ridiculous, this threat to invade Portland militarily. It's striking that witht this administration, the more extreme it becomes, the more unpopular it becomes, but the more unpopular it becomes the more extreme it becomes."

Teaching students from both fields, linguistics and engineering—separately, no shared courses—I witness two kinds of growing resistance towards the use of #GenAI:

- low quality output needs too much effort to fix manually
- low quality output is not worth the high amounts of energy it costs

Future linguists argue with efficiency, future engineers with resources. Ethics comes much later, but is a shared concern. Anyway, I see justified refusal

Trump’s rhetoric — his constant talk of 'animals,' 'invasions,' and 'vermin' — isn’t some sideshow. It’s the main event. And his disciples repeat it like gospel. …

The scariest part? We are nowhere near the bottom. As Trump continues to lash out — at immigrants, at the courts, at the media — the permission structure grows stronger."
