It's not fraud while you're committing it. Only later when you're caught. Got it.

MAGA sycophants and Russians know this is all that Trump cares about - getting undeservedly the highest international awards while shredding the international order that created them and made them meaningful.

Now that 2025 Nobel Peace has been awarded he'll probably lose interest in "peacemaking".

Zelenskyy said Putin tested Europe's air defenses with drones and aircraft, calling the response insufficient. He compared it to Crimea, adding Putin is preparing Russian society for the next stage.

Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.

Tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: “Border Patrol reportedly shot a dog and then the agent fled rather than deal with any kind of accountability whatsoever.”
Below is Keith Edwards’ tweet: “BREAKING: A family in El Paso says ICE shot and killed their dog, Chop. The agent who fired reportedly ran as the family screamed for help. No one came.”

Photo of a large black and brown Rottweiler sitting calmly on a tiled floor next to a white chair and a window with blinds.

A black-background screenshot of text describing an incident: the sender says no Border Patrol agents rendered aid after their dog was shot, and that the responsible agent fled the scene with help from others. They emphasize that the agent’s name was never released and that their family lost a member “for no lawful reason.”

Wait, wait, wait! This is worth examining further.

What is "tariff revenue"? Is it a tax paid by foreigners, as Trump insists? If so, then the US military will be living on foreign dole.

Or is it US consumer tax, which the president is spending without Congressional approval?

Both look pretty bad

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

My new startup Boobify will create its proprietary Melons AI model that will be able to add huge boobs on all the female characters in any computer game.

So that all the pathetic gamecels can start complaining about something else again.

Crypto broke tech.

Even the richest man in the world could not resist the siren song of the biggest casino in the world.

His slide into open Nazism started with Tesla turning into a crypto-company.

Wow if this turns out to be a tipoff it’s going to undo years of hard work to establish trust and confidence in crypto mar- nah, I’m just kidding. If you’re not cheating in crypto you’re the fish. It’s just a matter of time.

BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.

30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.

The market dumped.

The trader made +$192 million in two hours.

Unusual.

With a generous accounting of “peacemaker,” the best an honest person can say about the U.S. president is he failed badly in Ukraine after insisting it’d be simple, lied about conflicts that are still going or he wasn’t involved in, and helped broker one Israel-Hamas deal that may or may not hold.

She's a media entrepreneur in the same sense that the Vichy regime were political entrepreneurs.

Pretending that people are mad at her for being a woman enterpreneur is like claiming people were mad at Hitler for being a painter.

Let's hear you simple personal or professional sucessfull AI stories. I'll start with one: I wrote an app to automate a soul-sucking compliance task - pulling in XML data from several sites and running a matching algorithm on internal data, and generate reports.

Many of my colleagues speak terrible English. They understand it reasonably well and they are good professionals, but in a live conversation it's often hard to understand what they are saying.

When they have a chance to use AI to put their ideas in words, communication is much better.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Found an article about it. By April 1915 there were 4 static semi-batteries with a total of 12 guns and a vehicle-mounted one with 4 more guns guarding the palace, 750 kilometers from the front line.

Meanwhile weapons factories had no AA defense until 1917.

BTW raskol (раскол) means schism.

So Raskolnikov is something like Schismison.

One thing to know about philosophy majors is that some percentage of them fail the Nietzsche test, collapse aesthetics into ethics (instead of the other way around, which leads to pluralistic liberalism), and go permanently insane.
