The irony of the talent arms race that AI investors and founders find themselves in, is that they have to think a lot about what it means to be human - motivation, community building, loyalty - in order to outfit their start-ups. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/thes...

A new wave of startups some have dubbed “neolabs” are focusing on long-term research and developing new AI models over immediate profits.

Really remarkable how he references Trump, Noem, Miller by name.

He is a poet. He can be so obtuse that people didn't understand Born in the USA was a war-protest anthem.

He's not being obtuse today. He called it all right out.

Stay free indeed 👊
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

@jobuca.bsky.social Relevant to your interests.
Good morning! Here’s a quick thread of snow shoveling tips from a middle aged dude:

1) Treat it like a workout.

Would you roll out of bed dehydrated, with cold, tight muscles, and immediately start doing loaded reps? No you would not. That’s a recipe for injury.

Warm up. Stretch. Hydrate.

Apropos of nothing, I read Hegseth’s statement, switched over to Spelling Bee for a breather, and immediately found the word IDIOT.

So much heartbreak these days, but this one, in particular, hits home. The Trump admin and ICE are monsters.
NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present.

“This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."

Mr. Khalil, a permanent resident detained in Louisiana, had requested a monitored furlough for the birth. His request was denied in less than an hour.

I, for one, am shocked that the alcoholic rapist is demonstrating poor leadership.

I understand that Kilmar Abrego Garcia may have abused his wife but I still don’t believe, given the values enshrined in the constitution and the principles of the rule of law, that he should become Secretary of Defense

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Dem Leadership, hear me now! If you haven’t made so much as a statement about Abrego Garcia, but you still manage to text me for donations, you’re getting blocked and tuned out. We want leaders, not fundraisers!

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

BRING HIM HOME!

Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador.

I agree.

In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

I literally 😳’ed.
Quite the sentence in the NYPost this morning:

"A small business owner in Boise, Idaho, got the shock of his life when he realized President Trump’s tough trade measures meant tariffs on stock he’d ordered jumped from $26,000 to $346,000 overnight."

When — not if, when — Hegseth’s incompetence results in a national security disaster or the needless deaths of soldiers, blame will lie not just with the Trump administration but with Congress too.

Anyone who hasn’t demanded his resignation will share responsibility when that reckoning comes.
Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in U.S. history. The Signal debacle is a grave warning that must be heeded.

The lives of service members and America’s national security are at stake. Hegseth must resign now, before dangerous errors lead to horrifying consequences.
