Delegados em SP divulgando esse video como se fosse do CV na ação desta semana sendo que é trecho de registro de atores que participaram de um clipe do MC Vitinho em 2022. Fiz o básico de ver de onde tinha sido publicado. São atores que estão sendo criminalizados com esse tipo de publicação.

Klein's column also boosts Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Jared Golden of the Blue Dog Coalition, a corporate caucus that has:

-killed a public health insurance option in the ACA (!!)
-undermined the major cap-and-trade climate bill
-blocked the Build Back Better Act
-opposed drug pricing reform, etc.

Blue Dog Democrats Vote for Trillion-Dollar Defense Budget

The Blue Dog Coalition, a group of self-described fiscal conservatives led by Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), largely voted for the GOP-crafted bill pushing defense spending above $1 trillion.

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

Rep. Clay Higgins:

There are 22 million American households receiving SNAP benefits for groceries, at $4200 per year on average.
Try to get your head wrapped around how many pantries you can stock with $4200 dollars in properly shopped groceries.
Any American who has been receiving $4200 dollars per year of free groceries and does NOT have at least 1 month of groceries stocked should never again receive SNAP, because wow, stop smoking crack.

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”

This is sometimes read as "look 'AI' isn't working". But the opposite is true.

_This_ is what "AI" is _for_. Push down labor power, push down wages, make employment more insecure.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

And that’s just declining sales, without considering all the regulatory credits that have been keeping them profitable.

But why should Tesla be worried anyway? They can always fall back on their very stable crypto holdings to keep the company afloat until the robots start building themselves

And I'll make one critical highlight: this paper studies the period from October 2022 (when he bought Twitter) through April 2025. That means it only captures the first 10 weeks of #teslatakedown.

Elon Musk's involvement in politics really hurt Tesla sales.

"Without the Musk partisan effect, Tesla sales between October 2022 and April 2025 would have been 67-83% higher, equivalent to 1-1.26 million more vehicles."

He's talking about a cognitive test for dementia.

A black-and-white scanned form titled “Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Version 7.1 Original Version.” At the top are blank fields for name, education, date of birth, sex, date, and points. The first section shows a trail-making exercise with circles labeled 1 to 5 and letters A to E connected by dashed arrows. Next to it is an outline cube to be copied, and a box titled “Draw CLOCK (Ten past eleven)” with scoring checkboxes for contour, numbers, and hands. Below is a “Naming” section illustrated with three animals: a lion, a rhinoceros, and a camel, each with an empty checkbox underneath. The “Memory” section lists five words to be recalled—FACE, VELVET, CHURCH, DAISY, RED—with spaces for two trials. An “Attention” section includes repeating digits forward and backward, tapping on the letter A in a letter sequence, and performing serial 7 subtraction starting at 100. The “Language” section has two sentences to repeat and a fluency task asking for words beginning with the letter F. The “Abstraction” section asks for similarities between pairs: train-bicycle and watch-ruler. A “Delayed Recall” section again lists the five memory words, with spaces for recall and category/multiple choice cues. The “Orientation” section has blanks for date, month, year, day, place, and city. At the bottom is copyright by Z. Nasreddine MD, scoring ranges (Normal ≥ 26/30), and an area for the administrator.
