Mike Johnson: "The naysayers who have created this new term 'Christian nationalism' as a pejorative, a derogatory term, are trying to silence the influence and voices of Christians, and I think that's wildly inappropriate."

About to start !!!!





Zohran Mamdani quoted Tupac Shakur when asked if he opposes the war in Iran: "This war killed thousands of civilians, so yes, I strongly oppose it— Tupac said it decades ago, we always seem to have money for war but never to feed the poor."

why is Civil Engineering this protected from AI?


the fast16 malware was almost certainly targeting spherical implosion simulations. left: unmodified LS-DYNA 970 right: LS-DYNA 970 modified with the relevant portions of fast16.sys both running a spherical implosion deck


this is madness "7 in 10 Americans oppose constructing data centers for AI in their local area, including nearly half, 48%, who are strongly opposed." Data centers are becoming the new nuclear power plants. Everyone wants the benefits of AI: faster medicine, better science, cheaper services, smarter tools, more abundance. But when it’s time to actually build it, no one wants it near them. The AI age needs energy, chips, cooling, land, transmission lines, and massive data centers. We won't get the amazing, advanced future (abundance, no diseases, aging cured - we need a TON of AI to achieve this) by opposing every piece of infrastructure required to build it.


The rusting colossus that was once the massive and vastly productive Bethlehem Steel, on the Lehigh Valley in Eastern Pennsylvania.




Total education spending in the US exceeds defense spending—people dramatically overestimate how much is spent on defense.
