Remember, that norms only apply to protect the establishment. If you are a threat to the establishment, the norm cannot apply because, well, you are a threat to the establishment. It's like the purpose of norms - whether used or disregarded - is always to...wait for it...protect the establishment. Now, watch her and her pals whine about how we don't respect the norms, despite the fact that the norms by definition never apply to advance our interests.

The tradition that fired or retiring generals do not engage in politics or speak out no longer holds. I believed it for a long time too. But by remaining silent about crimes, lack of war plans, or Hegseth's fitness, they are actually choosing politics over the nation. Speak up.

Tucker and Comic Dave Smith get together for a nice chat about what else: pizza and grape soda. These towering podcast intellectuals have had two months to meticulously analyze millions of Epstein Files, and their big takeaway is still pizza and grape soda

Donald Trump told you his "Big Beautiful Bill" was a middle-class tax cut. What actually happened: he delivered $65 BILLION in tax cuts to corporations like Amazon and Meta.

Araghchi, the Iranian Foreign Minister, said in an Al Jazeera interview published this morning: "Our conditions for ending the war are clear. We do not accept a ceasefire... at present there is no ground for negotiation, and at present there is no negotiation."

guys, i honestly do not like clowning on Gary. I don't find being the butt of a joke funny, so I imagine he does not either. But, this is what worries me about where we are going. We are actively encouraging an entire generation that the tech is there when its not, and a couple of silly mistakes made on a website isn't the end of the world, but people's data and breaches are serious. We are entering a very VERY hackable world, and I do not like it one bit.
gregorein@Gregorein

so... I audited Garry's website after he bragged about 37K LOC/day and a 72-day shipping streak. here's what 78,400 lines of AI slop code actually looks like in production. a single homepage load of garryslist.org downloads 6.42 MB across 169 requests. for a newsletter-blog-thingy. 1/9🧵

🚨🇮🇷 🇮🇱 IRAN IS HOLDING BACK ITS MOST POWERFUL MISSILES Malcolm Nance says current strikes on Israel are limited. He says Iran is saving stronger weapons for U.S. forces and Gulf targets. @MalcolmNance
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal

🚨 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 WHY THE U.S. STRATEGY IN IRAN IS DOOMED How did Iran destroy over $1bn in aircraft in Saudi with drones worth tens of thousands of dollars? How are they keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed? Why are they still able to fire missiles and drones DAILY against Israel and the Gulf, with a higher hit rate? Malcolm Nance breaks down why the U.S. is so unprepared for this war, and learned nothing from the Ukraine Russia warfare He highlights a fundamental "asymmetry of tolerance": while the U.S. relies on expensive technology and has little appetite for high casualties, Iran has spent decades preparing for a war of attrition. From the massive inventory of low-cost Shaheed drones to the potential for a grueling ground insurgency, Nance warns that the U.S. lacks the depth to win a fight that will eventually come down to "rifles and knives." He suggests that Iran’s long-term play isn't just military survival, but a strategic realignment to turn Gulf allies against Washington and end American influence in the region for good. @MalcolmNance 01:00 - This war ends in blood, not strategy. 03:00 - Ukraine turned war into a real industry. 05:30 - One cheap drone can destroy billion-dollar assets. 08:30 - The battlefield just became fully automated. 13:00 - Drones vs drones is the new reality. 16:40 - The U.S. is completely unprepared for this war. 20:30 - America is still fighting the last war mindset. 25:30 - Future invasions could turn into total chaos instantly. 30:00 - This war could take years to recover from. 35:00 - Iran has no real reason to negotiate. 40:30 - Destroying infrastructure won’t break them. 45:30 - The world economy is hanging by a thread. 50:30 - This could spiral into something way bigger. 55:30 - Nobody is ready for how bad this can get.

🇺🇸 US Senator Chris Murphy just issued a stark warning: “If the Houthis block the Suez Canal on top of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, the global economy is going to get a whole lot worse.” We’re already feeling the pain from Hormuz (20% of world oil). Add the Suez Canal (15% of global trade + 30% of container traffic) getting shut down by the Houthis and you’re looking at a genuine global supply chain nightmare. One chokepoint was bad. Two could be catastrophic. Source: Al Jazeera

🇾🇪🇮🇱 Yemen just escalated the war They’ve launched missiles at Israel and are now threatening to block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a key global trade route. This is critical because that strait handles a major share of oil shipments to Europe. Last time it was disrupted, around 10% of flows were affected. Now combine that with tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, and you have 2 of the world’s main energy chokepoints at risk. If Bab el-Mandeb closes, ships reroute around Africa, driving up time, costs, and global prices. Yemen is also warning that any country supporting the U.S. or Israel could become a target. This is how a regional war could collapse the global economy. Source: worldhistorynetwork

Yes. It’s maddening. All you have to do is LOOK at the damn graphic and you can see that ships are not, in fact, passing through.
John Umphress@JohnUmphress

@Angry_Staffer I've seen 4 different accounts post the exact same language with the graphic that actually shows a bunch of ships NOT traversing the strait.

The man who INVENTED modern AI just made a billion dollar bet that ChatGPT, Claude, and every AI company on earth is building the wrong technology. Yann LeCun won the Turing Award in 2018 for creating the neural networks that made AI possible. He spent a decade running AI research at Meta. Oversaw the creation of Llama and PyTorch, the tools that half the AI industry runs on. Then he quit. And raised $1.03 billion in a seed round. The LARGEST seed round in European history. $3.5 billion valuation before generating a single dollar of revenue. Bezos wrote the check. So did Nvidia. Samsung. Toyota. Temasek. Eric Schmidt. Mark Cuban. Tim Berners-Lee (the guy who invented the internet). His new company is called AMI Labs. And it's built on one thesis: Every AI company spending billions on large language models is wasting their money. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok. They all work the same way. They predict the next word in a sequence. See "the cat sat on the" and predict "mat." Scale that to trillions of words and you get something that sounds intelligent. But LeCun says it doesn't UNDERSTAND anything. It can't reason. It can't plan. It can't predict what happens when you push a glass off a table. A two year old can do that. GPT-5 cannot. That's why AI hallucinates. It doesn't have a model of how the world actually works. It just predicts words. His solution? Something called JEPA. Instead of predicting words, it learns how the PHYSICAL WORLD works. Abstract representations of reality. Not language but physics. Think about what that means. Current AI can write your emails. LeCun's AI could design a car, run a factory, operate a robot, or diagnose a patient without hallucinating and killing someone. The CEO of AMI said it perfectly: "Factories, hospitals, and robots need AI that grasps reality. Predicting tokens doesn't cut it." And here's what's really crazy to me... LeCun isn't some outsider throwing rocks. He literally built the foundations that ChatGPT runs on. He knows exactly how these systems work because he helped create them. And after watching the entire industry sprint in one direction for three years, he raised a billion dollars to run the OPPOSITE way. No product. No revenue. No timeline. Just pure research. He told investors it could take YEARS to produce anything commercial. But they funded it anyway in just four months. Meanwhile OpenAI just raised $120 billion and still can't stop their models from making things up. Anthropic is building AI so dangerous they're afraid to release it. Google is burning billions trying to catch up. And the guy who started it all says they're all solving the wrong problem. Two Turing Award winners raised $2 billion in three weeks betting AGAINST the entire LLM approach. LeCun at AMI. Fei-Fei Li at World Labs. The smartest people in AI are quietly building the exit from the technology everyone else is betting their future on. Either they're wrong and the trillion dollar LLM industry keeps printing. Or they're right and every AI company on earth just built on a foundation that's about to crack.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran built massive underground “Missile Cities” near the Strait of Hormuz to protect its arsenal. Only the B-1B Lancer had the raw payload + endurance to repeatedly hammer those hardened tunnel complexes with bunker-busters. That's something fighters like the F-35 couldn’t carry enough of, and the scarce B-2 couldn’t do at scale. The aging “Bone” became the unlikely star of the campaign. Source: Air Power Decoded YT
