I posted this in another thread…

Did not a single journalist, of which DC has a few, follow one of the dump trucks?

Was there no interest in where this stuff went? And yes, this goes double for everything in the interior.

Sent to an unnamed trump owned warehouse I’m willing to bet.

I mean, what congress? The house is closed for anything other than secret republican business. The senate, well, it may as well be closed. And we know the courts are already fully behind this administration. There are no checks. No balances. That's what is so scary about this.

Looking cool is expensive.

Thankfully, I'm a huge dork and that costs almost nothing.

The press won’t say the obvious truth about this: This is the illegal destruction of an iconic American landmark. An act of brazen and massive vandalism.

Agreed. But do you honestly see that ever happening?

Why does it totally turn me off that a lens has no aperture ring?

Well, because I've always had them and I'm used to it. The question is, if I buy one of these lenses will it frustrate or free me?

My fear is the former.

They know the East Wing demolition is bad optics for them that’s why so many have suddenly “come to life” on this platform today armed w/inaccurate talking points about earlier renovations at the WH.

Wow. Newsbreak keeps making up completely fictitious earthquakes. Pages of reporting on another earthquake that didn’t happen.

News article that says “no tsunami risk after San Diego quake confirms national weather service: San Diego rattled by unexpected earthquake”

I agree with @eschatonblog.com, it’s not just cuomo, look at all the people who supported and pushed him. They are all tainted by this execrable candidate.

Gotta ask: if he's calling off his goon squad for San Francisco because his friends there say they don't want them...

...doesn't it follow that he's sending goons to *other* cities that don't want them to hurt rather than help them?

NYT:

Trump Administration
Live Updates: President Shelves Plan to Deploy Federal Agents to San
Francisco

Where Things Stand
• Federal deployment: President Trump is calling off, at least for now, plans that would have surged federal agents into San Francisco this weekend. Mayor Daniel Lurie said Mr. Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem assured him in separate calls that Border Patrol agents would not be deployed to his city. Mr. Trump confirmed the decision in a social media post, writing that "friends of mine who live in the area" had asked him to reconsider. Read more ›

It's not just what Andrew Cuomo is saying—it's who's funding him.

The single largest donor to a pro-Cuomo SuperPAC is Airbnb cofounder/board member Joe Gebbia, who promotes vile and racist messages about immigrants.

the thing about knowledge work is that you need time to think. everybody who has come back to a problem and instantly seen the answer knows this. theoretical physicists spend lots of time taking walks. to be strictly mercenary here you want your employees mentally obsessed, not physically present.

A tweet by Mark Kretschmann showing two photos of the xAI office on Grokipedia release day. The office is filled with small camping tents set up between desks and along hallways, suggesting that engineers have been sleeping there while working late. The caption notes it’s early morning and the engineers are still in their tents, joking that a good night’s sleep does wonders.
