@philthatremains An all time great. He still has it even after a few of those 1000 word flops.

@teortaxesTex The answer to your last question is yes. Sex offenses would ruin him. Murdering millions would not.

The idea that you need «ruthless blackmail» to control Trump is cope. Trump has publicly, legally, done worse things than ANYTHING he is suspected of. He's a warmongering strongman murderer responsible for mass misery. Some raped/eaten kids? Peeing?! Is your culture that petty?
Connor@blamblamtheman
@teortaxesTex I don’t see how they contradict. You can have some mix of true believers and ruthless blackmail with gradients of how comprimising the blackmail needs to be to compensate for the lack of natural ideological alignment to get someone to go along with an agenda.

Well it finally happened. Was out in my liberal Massachusetts town with my daughter and we overheard someone talking loudly about what a horrible person I am.
They didn’t name me specifically but they were very certain ALL members of the new Pentagon Press Corps are “pure evil”

@tshugart3 If the aggressor withdraws, the defender wins. I don’t make the rules.
Imagine we bombed Germany, didn’t invade, and claimed we won. No one would be arguing that the allies won the war.

I’ve said many times On Here that the loser decides the war is over. If this conflict ends with Iran still fighting, and in de facto control of perhaps the most important waterway in the world, then no matter how many strikes were conducted that’s what this would be: an L.

@GlobalHitman Some really good rocketry videos on YouTube. Hobbiests building supersonic rockets out of off the shelf parts.

"removing their ballistic missile capability militarily"
For some reason people don't understand it's not 1970.
Cheap ballistic missiles are not hard to build.
A jailbroken ChatGPT can tell you how to make one.
ian bremmer@ianbremmer
turned out the iranian government was lying about not developing any ballistic missiles with range beyond 2000km. hardly surprising, but justification for removing their ballistic missile capability militarily.

@johnkonrad Didn’t we secure a ton of money for ICE last July? 9 months later deportation numbers are pathetic. Running similar numbers to 2019.
English
I agree with Chris. We should disband DHS, eliminate TSA, and split the remaining agencies between CBP and USCG.
It’s absolutely ludicrous that Democrats can shut down essential USCG offices… we had enough shipbuilding problems before Dems closed the National Maritime Center.
Chris Murphy 🟧@ChrisMurphyCT
This is the only thing you need to know. Democrats want to open TSA. Republicans are refusing because they want to attach ICE funding. That’s why there are long lines. ICE.

Fun fact about foreigners in 🇨🇳:
Basically all of them, including me, have broken Chinese law at some point.
And if you think you haven’t… you probably did.
Here’s how and why it doesn’t matter anymore!

@johnkonrad Sucks the only reason this guy says anything is to get after Trump.

Yes, I am vindicated.
Denver is the absolute worst car sprawl in America.
Ironic for a place that imagines itself to be so liberal, environmental, and enlightened.
John Serrao@serraotweets
@nobodyknows2322 Finally proof of the @Empty_America theory that Denver is the most sprawled out metro. I got a similar sense when I was there, just insanely spread out even by Texas standards.

@EudaimoniaEsq It sucks but you’re gonna sit with the general public on some crap chairs that don’t even have tables?

I have no theory of mind for people who use the AmEx lounge at airports. I had the platinum card for years (I’ve since cancelled) and every time I used a lounge it was just horrendously overcrowded. Class conscious members of the PMC lining up like cattle so as to prove that their metal coupon book confers some sort of status when all it does is betray middle class insecurity.

@JessePeltan Xi cleared up the meaning of socialism, it means the CPC is the leader. As long as the CPC is the leader, socialism is fulfilled.

China’s success is obviously due to the Chinese Characteristics, and not the “Socialism.”

@adamscrabble SoftBank is a tool of the Japanese government to fake us out in every trade deal.

@GlobalHitman Their claim is dubious and their goal is to see competition ban.
But if true, it presents a much bigger problem. A competitive model can be trained off a relatively small sample of outputs. Meaning the entire industry will never be commercially viable.

I realized this morning half of AI twitter people are mentally compromised.
They all don't want to admit the Chinese are stealing.
The Chinese get to steal all they want, no one talks about it but US companies have to abide by standards.
AI people don't realize it's political warfare.

Congrats to the @cursor_ai team on the launch of Composer 2! We are proud to see Kimi-k2.5 provide the foundation. Seeing our model integrated effectively through Cursor's continued pretraining & high-compute RL training is the open model ecosystem we love to support. Note: Cursor accesses Kimi-k2.5 via Fireworks' hosted RL and inference platform as part of an authorized commercial partnership.

@SomethingOnSnow No they're complaining they didn't get paid cause it's commercial use.

Tell your guys not to fall for the pressure man this is classic Chinese politics.

Exports, surplus
These are unhinged numbers for a large, old trade relationship. I was told in no uncertain terms 11 months ago that by this time Europe should be shutting out Chinese goods (dumped due to Liberation Day tariffs) to protect domestic industries. What happened?
Finbarr Bermingham@fbermingham
For these rises in surplus to be taking place over a two month is quite astounding Only Ireland expanded its trade surplus with China, powered by a huge surge in chip shipments from Ireland to China (up 149% in Jan-Feb!) China's surplus with Czechia, Greece, Malta narrowed
