It's straight up cowardice to shoot National Guard in DC.
They shouldn't be there. We damn sure don't need 500 more of them in DC. But shooting *them* isn't addressing the problem, it's likely to only make things worse and give people itchy trigger fingers.
But be clear: this is Trump's fault.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

I'm gonna tell you about a guy named Peter. He called for support often and it wasn't stupid stuff. But it was complex.
He drove a BMW. He was divorced. He was of course a sales person. Probably the most successful sales person in California and maybe the country.
He serviced the government.

GPT would have been such a great technology if LLMs were just used to augment search engines. Their natural language processing ability means they can find relevant content no matter how you phrase your query. No more keyword matching, just ask a question, or describe what you’re looking for. 1/2

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

OK, so. Below a certain size, the atmosphere takes care of the problem--objects below 10 meters in size, say, are going to give a great showy fireball but not do any damage on the ground unless you're really personally unlucky, like the teenager who owned this car.

All joking aside, Mamdani being a Trump Whisperer doesn’t mean Trump is no longer a fascist—he is and Mamdani even said so in the Oval Office with Trump—but it might mean Mamdani will be better able to protect and provide for New Yorkers while Trump is in power.
