@sidereal @davidgerard why do we gotta make everything about money. can't we appreciate ai out of sheer love for impersonal corporate email replies? can't we recognize the unquantifiable value of generating software bugs at rapid speed? is it wrong to enjoy not knowing if a chatbot response contains any true information at all? not everything needs to make business sense!

"A Brussels court ruled Tuesday that the retired diplomat, Étienne Davignon, must face war crimes charges over the killing of Mr. Lumumba. The ruling was the culmination of a criminal complaint that Mr. Lumumba’s children filed 15 years ago and a milestone in Belgium’s decadeslong effort to reckon with crimes committed during its brutal rule of what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Mr. Davignon is the only surviving member of a group of Belgian officials who prosecutors say organized the kidnapping and murder of Mr. Lumumba, as part of a coup against the newly elected government shortly after Congo gained independence from Belgium in 1960. Belgian officials saw Mr. Lumumba as a rabble rouser who might tilt the country toward the Soviet Union."

It's clear Fetterman doesn't care what the people of Pennsylvania want, but constituents should still let him know that they won't forgive him for supporting Trump's pick for DHS secretary.

If Fetterman wants to work for Trump, he should take a job with the regime. Pennsylvania would be better off.

From Monday: Talarico—whose central message is that it’s about not left versus right, but top versus bottom—is going to have to meaningfully engage with and accept the critiques of Black voters and politicos and give those voters substantive policy that renders them as seen, full humans with separate, unique concerns that white voters do not have. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-talarico-crockett-influencer-class-problem/

I honestly cannot tell if Herr Trump was lying or just is not capable of paying attention or absorbing briefing.

'An Israeli strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field was coordinated with the Trump administration in advance, according to three Israeli officials, despite President Trump’s assertion that the United States “knew nothing about” it.'

Nan Pierce decided to sell her liberal media empire to the highest right-wing bidder before the Roy kids even landed on her helipad.

Not to save democracy, not to preserve journalism's integrity, but to further enrich herself; to close the deal before her company loses any more value. So, she puts on a show— for her daughter, her political adversaries, for herself.

In s4e1 "The Munsters," Nan Pierce feigns agony over the billion-dollar bidding war unfolding in her sunroom. It is my favorite bit of Nan-Theatre of the series:

"Oh, I don’t like this. It makes me feel like I’m in the middle of a bidding war. Horrible. Different people saying different numbers. Eight, nine. What’s next?"

Choosing Roman to clock Nan for her bullshit is perfect:
