I've said it before and I'll say it again: "Ideological purity is for Bolsheviks."

James Talarico: “The real fight in this country is not left vs right, it’s top vs bottom. We’re all getting screwed. None of us can afford anything. None of us can get ahead no matter how hard we work because this political system and economic system are rigged against us”

Just occurred to me this is the first time in my lifetime I can remember a billionaire funding a valuable public works project. Andrew Carnegie funded like 2000 libraries alone lol

But of course!

@AdamtrendHQ @buffymuffy4444 Yes

Do you agree with this statement? 🤔 YES or NO? Let's see where everyone stands.

Four month ago, Alex Pretti was murdered by Donald Trump’s ICE. RETWEET to honor Pretti’s life of service ❤️

My son is taking part of in a social experiment. He has to wear a MAGA hat and record how people react to him. So far, on the first day, he has been spit on, yelled at, and had water tossed in his face. I am curious to see what will happen when he finally leaves the house!

She isn’t a victim She’s not trapped in a marriage from which there’s no escape She’s a willing participant in the most criminal collaboration between a man and a woman in history.

the pope and anthropic's co-founder just stood together at the vatican to release "magnifica humanitas," the first ever catholic teaching on AI yes, you read that right. the full ceremony was 2 hours. here's the most interesting things for you to know: 1. this is the biggest religious response to AI in history. popes only put out a handful of these huge official letters in their entire time as pope. the fact that one of them is about AI tells you how seriously the church is taking what's coming. 2. small detail with massive meaning: this pope picked the name "leo XIV" on purpose. the last pope named leo was leo XIII back in 1891, and his most famous act was writing the church's response to the industrial revolution. picking the same name is a deliberate signal. this pope sees AI as the new industrial revolution. 3. the catholic church does this every time a major technology reshapes humanity. they wrote "rerum novarum" in 1891 to respond to the industrial revolution. when nuclear weapons threatened the world in the 1960s, they wrote "pacem in terris." climate change and runaway tech got "laudato si" in 2015. now AI gets "magnifica humanitas." they don't issue these often. 4. the pope's main line: "AI needs to be disarmed." he literally compared AI to nuclear weapons. he said the church spent decades pushing for nuclear disarmament because the technology was too dangerous to leave in the hands of a few. he says AI is now in that same category. 5. anthropic co-founder christopher olah told the pope, on stage at the vatican, that anthropic's own research team keeps finding things inside their AI models that "mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease." 6. olah's reframe of what AI actually is: these things are grown. they're trained on a structure roughly modeled after the human brain and fed everything humans have ever written. in his own words: "they are made from us, from our words." he said even the people building them don't fully understand what's happening inside. 7. olah publicly admitted that every AI lab, including his own, faces pressure that can conflict with doing the right thing. commercial pressure to keep shipping, competitive pressure from other labs, plus the older pressures of pride and ambition. his solution: we desperately need outside critics with no skin in the game who will tell the labs when they're failing. 8. olah says there are 3 giant questions the AI labs cannot answer alone and the world needs religion and philosophy to step in on: > how do we make sure poor countries actually benefit from AI? > what does human flourishing even look like in this new world? > and what are these things we're actually building? 9. one of the sharpest lines in the whole encyclical: "the promise of automatic general prosperity often proves illusory." translation: the idea that AI will just make everyone rich on its own is a fantasy. someone has to actually design the system so the benefits get shared. 10. the pope also pulled out a 100-year-old quote: "contemporary man has not been trained to use power well." said by a theologian back in the 1920s. the whole encyclical is basically a long argument that we need to learn how to use this kind of power before it uses us. 11. the pope kept stressing that he doesn't have the technical answers. but he says the church has thousands of years of wisdom on what it means to be human, and that wisdom is exactly what's missing from how we're building AI right now. his closing line: this technology should serve "human flourishing and human dignity, not control consciences."

@joncoopertweets @ThatBeatleGirl9 A Tr*mp

What kind of father skips his own son’s wedding?

REAL TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Memorial Day is an essential reminder that our 250-year-old democracy is a treasure worth protecting. We owe it to the sacrifice of those who gave what President Lincoln called “the last full measure of devotion” to not only honor them, but to renew our commitment to the republic for which they stood.

You are a good man, Joe. [And you were a great President: I paid attention.]
