This is a good time to remind folks that election interference and election collusion are two distinctly different things.

@FrankLuntz I’m no Gavin Newsom fan, as you know, but why is this his fault? We lived in Pedro from 94-97 and it was obvious RPV was going to slide into the water way back then. I hate it for these homeowners, but it’s not like they didn’t know this was coming.

Geologists warned for decades that the cliffs at Rancho Palos Verdes were eroding and faced imminent risk of landslides. In 2002, landowners sued to overturn a moratorium on building new homes. As more landslides hit the area, home values plummeted. Now, it looks like this: 🫠

An additional note of caution for firms utilizing AI. Federal judges are adding the “mandatory disclosure of all AI assisted writing” into their standing orders. Simply no excuse for making these mistakes.

An absolutely excruciating moment at the Georgia Supreme Court this week. Justice Peterson pressed state attorney Deborah Leslie over her citations to cases that apparently don’t exist.

@RepDavid @DavidSchweikert You’ve been at this for a long time, as has your primary opponent. You have a combined 48 years in office. Help us understand: what specific policy changes do you believe would actually move the needle on debt, and what has stood in the way of getting them done?

At what point do we stop calling this budgeting and start calling it national decline? We went from $38 trillion to $39 trillion in debt in 147 days. Debt moving that fast means interest takes a bigger cut and the debt markets get a bigger say. If we intend to save this country, we have to do the hard policy on health care, growth, and productivity before the bond markets do it for us.

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. - Max Planck (1858 - 1947)

@LifeWithoutLack @SenMullin @DHSgov Perhaps. Perhaps not. Unfortunately, we cannot glean that from the confirmation hearings because Congress only does performance art now. The lack of substance in the questions from both sides of the aisle is truly astounding.

@cjones @SenMullin @DHSgov Mullin is unqualified, dishonest and dangerous.

Watching the @SenMullin DHS confirmation hearing is a case study in Congress not doing its job. “Advise and consent” is gone, replaced by performative outrage and blame-shifting from both parties. This is why the government can’t even fund paychecks. @DHSgov

It may be the greatest race of all time and a reminder of not ever giving up

@fakehistoryhunt It really seems like the ides of March gets short shrift lately.

If this is an honest mistake, how would he get this wrong? If it's not honest, why would he lie about it?

Many people who don't work in education are not aware of just how much of ed-tech is just siphoning public money into tech companies who don't even provide functional software. The product doesn't need to work; it just needs to let them hire fewer and less qualified teachers.

Bill Maher: “You’re a Democrat running possibly for [President in 2028], and you’re Jewish. And this is somehow maybe a complete deal breaker in the Democratic Party. I mean, the speed at which antisemitism has gone to a place where I never imagined it would go.” “Just this past week, bombings at synagogues in Toronto, Belgium, and Michigan. The guy drove a truck with explosives into the largest synagogue in West Bloomfield, Norway. They arrested someone. Suspicious behavior outside of the synagogue in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.” “I see a pattern here. And somehow it got to where among the young people, antisemitism got to be kind of cool.” Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro: “There are seeds of antisemitism being planted all over this country… Folks are looking the other way and nodding toward it and allowing it to happen in their businesses, on their screens, and in their politics, and we have to speak up about it.”

So grown adults spent years running around chasing imaginary creatures on their phones, helped build a 30-billion-image AI dataset… and now they’re complaining about it? You literally did this to yourselves. #smh

A rare example of AI enhancing art rather than ruining it.

this is actually insane > be tech guy in australia > adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live > not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4 > pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA > feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold > zero background in biology > identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets > design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch > genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own > need ethics approval to administer it > red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine > 3 months, finally approved > drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection > tumor halves > coat gets glossy again > dog is alive and happy > professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?” one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. we are going to cure so many diseases. I dont think people realize how good things are going to get
