Joined the Times Tech Report to dive into OpenAI's audited financials, AI companies burying costs in sales and marketing, and that the fact we have to debate AI's ROI four years and a trillion plus dollars in is proof that this industry is a bubble. youtu.be/UnLRb-sU-Is?si…

okay I’m tripping. why do these both look like stills from the hottest PS4 game of the summer

An Israeli army reservist, Eitan Gilboa, appears to have left India shortly after a complaint was filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation accusing him of war crimes related to the demolition of civilian homes in Gaza. The complaint sought his arrest under India’s Geneva Conventions Act, revealing that he documented and celebrated destruction in Khan Younis and Rafah during Israel’s war in Gaza. The foundation said India has so far shown only a limited response, despite being legally obligated to act under international law.

@SenTomCotton @SecScottBessent Knuckledragger Tom could barely sign this, let alone comprehend successful policy.

Companies that handle sensitive American data shouldn’t have ties to Communist China. I’m requesting @SecScottBessent to investigate Chinese investment in Airwallex.

@DHSgov So wait - you are going to free him in a random country?

The alleged RINGLEADER of the planned UFC Freedom 250 terror attack is an illegal alien from Mexico. This criminal NEVER should have been allowed into our country. We will ensure he faces the full weight of the law and is REMOVED from our nation.

@WhiteHouse You signed a treaty at Versailles because that's how fucking ignorant you are 🤡🤣

President Donald J. Trump signs the Iran Memorandum of Understanding. Peace through strength.

@RepBrandonGill Hopefully you end up in one of the concentration camps you love so much...

I am fighting so that my kids, and yours, inherit an America they actually recognize.

@PeteRicketts Hard to imagine paying a bigger price than having some racist billionaire nepo baby running our state after daddy bought him some elections.

When the border is open, American families pay the price. Illegal immigration accounted for 30% of house-price growth from 2021 to 2024. It led to 20% of rent growth. At the same time, increased competition in the labor market put downward pressure on wages. President Trump’s border enforcement is reversing that trend. Secure borders mean lower costs, better paychecks, and more opportunities for Americans.

@RepDonBacon You were "elected" by a racist gerrymander pushed through by AIPAC allies. 🤡

I find your anti-Semitism repulsive. But since you raise the topic, I campaigned on a strong U.S. & Israel relationship & won five times. Our citizens made a choice. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East and supports us in the UN & other international bodies.

So the story is that the fascist ultra wealthy controlling or strongly influencing our policies, education, media, military, police and government, are protected and insulated by layers of loyal or dependent subordinates throughout society.

but not overwhelmingly. The top 1% (fully 1/3 of US wealth) is saturated Republican, though, and what's more they abuse their power to aggressively propagandize and monopolize the rest of the country.

The top 30%: American wealth deeply divided is a capitalist country deeply divided, an impediment to democracy. They really hate stats like this and it's hard to find good visualizations, but the 1% isn't the whole story.

Keith's note: BOTH of the official documents cited in this notice issued by @NASA contain blatantly political rhetoric such as: "This lack of transparency, accountability, and proper oversight became increasingly clear between 2021 and 2024. Federal awards were often used during those years to promote a “woke” policy agenda that did not reflect the values of the vast majority of the American public." ------- NASA Amendment 59: Several Updates to the ROSES-25 Summary of Solicitation science.nasa.gov/researchers/so… Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES)-2025 is an ongoing "omnibus" or "umbrella" solicitation meaning that it includes many individual program elements each with its own topics and due dates.

@Beardvet I'll bet right now that half these guys get off with suspicious plea deals and then disappear because they were FBI "informants". I would also bet that Trump has an assassination attempt in the works to be "thwarted" every 6 months.

Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, 31, of Omaha, Nebraska, conspired to plan and execute a mass casualty event targeting U.S. officials in attendance at UFC Freedom 250 hosted on the White House grounds to include President Trump, VP Vance and Elon Musk Known as “Shepherd” in the group, he was responsible for planning, organizing, and directing the planned attack The TikTok group was called “Vanguard of the Old”

Hum. Also claims that Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez was an illegal alien, so maybe he will claim self defense against Trump's ICE in court.

An Israeli firm has interfered in elections in Scotland, New York, France, Angola and Togo, using large numbers of fake social media accounts to target politicians who have criticised Israel’s genocide in Gaza, French authorities have found. France’s disinformation watchdog, Viginum, said a private, Israel-based company named BlackCore had coordinated hundreds of accounts to post negative comments about Scottish first minister John Swinney in the run-up to the Scottish parliament elections in May. Swinney is one of the few UK politicians to have described Israel’s mass killings in Gaza as a genocide, saying last year that “it can’t be disputed”. He also led a ban on arms companies receiving financial aid if they supply Israel's military. Viginum said Swinney, the ruling Scottish National Party (SNP) and the devolved government in Edinburgh were targeted between 6 January and 8 May, with BlackCore using at least 256 coordinated accounts to post around 1,400 comments. Swinney was targeted 652 times, the SNP 338 and the Scottish government 112. An SNP spokesperson said: “Over the course of the Scottish election campaign, the SNP observed that posts across our social media platforms were subject to an unprecedented level of negative reactions and comments from accounts which appeared to be AI-generated bots.” “Any interference in our democratic process must be thoroughly investigated,” they added. Ross Greer, co-leader of the Scottish Greens, called on foreign secretary Yvette Cooper to summon the Israeli ambassador over the scandal. “Or will she continue Labour's tradition of letting them [Israel] away with absolutely anything?” he wrote on X. BlackCore has described itself as “an elite influence, cyber and technology company built for the modern era of information warfare” that has worked with governments and political campaigns on “cutting-edge strategies, advanced tools and robust security to shape narratives”. Viginum chief Marc-Antoine Brillant said last week that BlackCore had meddled in French municipal elections but its activities were “not limited” to France. Brillant did not say who had been targeted in last year’s New York City mayoral election, but winner Zohran Mamdani has repeatedly called Israel’s actions in Gaza a genocide. Before his election, Mamdani said he would enforce an international arrest warrant against Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu were he to travel to New York.
