Senate Democrats all lined up to approve Marco Rubio, telling us that he would be the adult in the room, and it was “decorum” because he was their colleague in the senate; all a bunch of cowardly bullshit.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio plans to skip a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels next week, two U.S. officials said, in a highly unusual absence of the top U.S. diplomat from a key transatlantic gathering.

I’d love tech CEOs to stick to a lane. Either AI makes workers so much more productive that they need to do layoffs or there’s so few workers in place that everyone needs to work nights and weekends.
Now it just seems layoffs are happening for economic reasons with AI as a convenient cover story.

A lot of people, both gleeful Republicans, and cowering Liberals looking for an excuse to show their bellies, mistook a narrow victory in a low turnout cost of living election as a total cultural victory and have been acting as if that is a strong mandate for a slate of cruel, regressive policy

When troops are deployed overseas in places they absolutely should not be because of a warmonger ass president, and they are killed by someone who acted on their own accord, we typically don’t have a problem blaming the U.S. commander in chief

This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.

Everyone screaming that military officials should disobey illegal orders is failing to understand that the military wants to murder these people. It’s what they have been doing for decades its just out in the open now.
So I'm pretty sure a three star knows that an order to strike alleged combatants who are hors de combat is facially illegal, in case anyone's still having any hangups on whether Bradley needs to be in the dock after this

And the Democrats have already shown that they won’t do anything to hold anyone accountable for this at any point.
In every other era, you could say of government scandals that it’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up. But here,
nobody is making any effort to cover up the crimes at all: they’re banking on the public just being too bored and racist to care.

So the order for the US military to launch these deadly Caribbean boat strikes was straightforwardly illegal under US and international law, immoral under long established standards, and on top of that, terrible strategy.
Not maybe. Not got to check with a lawyer. Unambiguous. Blatant. Deliberate.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
