Disbar the lawyers.
NEW: Pentagon lawyers asked State Dept. if US could send survivors of Trump's boat strikes to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Then Pentagon pushed to have survivors sent anywhere but the US — to prevent any US court cases. Gift link to our @nytimes.com story: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

I'm usually a "prioritize winning elections over winning factional fights" guy but that goes out the window with anything these group chat psychos touch. We have to crush them or they'll turn the Democratic Party into Labour

If Data is anatomically correct, well...
If data is collected, it will be monetized.

If data exists, it will be leaked.

Plan accordingly.
This, and just as a general note - LLM chats (yes, including yours) are in no way secure. Claims to the contrary are bullshit and hype.

Meanwhile, my students tell me that Palestine is barely visible on their social media feeds anymore.

YMMV
I checked in with my students yesterday. They reported that Palestine is no longer showing up on their Tiktok feeds.

Which I think is suggestive of the severe limits of social media campaigning, because the killing hasn't ended, has it?

Sam Altman seems like such a subnormal that his dumb toy IS probably better than him at parenting, in the sense that a wire hanger would be a better parent than Joan Crawford.
Jimmy Fallon: "And do you use ChatGPT when raising your baby?"

Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

It’s not just that China isn’t buying soybeans (though they’re not; that’s the lie Rupar is pointing out here), it’s also that the loss of demand and retaliatory tariffs have pushed down the price of US grown soybeans to 2021 prices, but farm costs are still rising.
Leavitt: "President Trump convinced President Xi to continue purchasing again American soybeans, which is something China wasn't doing under the last administration because they had no respect for President Biden or the country at the time."

PTFO collaborated with @msjpauly.bsky.social and @motherjones.com on an investigation into Riley Gaines.

Riley’s messaging about trans athletes involves “predatory men” and “sexual assault.”

Garbage in, garbage out, back in again, and out, endlessly expanding in bubbling waves. The "public sphere" is fast becoming a grotesque toxic cesspool -- and there's little effort being made to contain and limit it.

In fact, it's as if the overwhelming public policy consensus is to accelerate it

She’s a ten but also something else, there is something that seems to writhe under her skin. She’s a ten but you know that she isn’t anything, not really, that she appeared suddenly, and can disperse the same way, between pines and ferns, a pale hand dragging against sharp bark before disappearing

There’s a sentence on page 2 that is longer than Bluesky’s character limit.

And the sole knowledge that sentence conveys is “Olivia was born on January 6th.”

Hillary Clinton loves to complain about TikTok but if the New York Times and Jake Tapper on CNN were forced to focus on Ben-Gvir and Smotrich as much as they like to focus on *literally making things up about Rashida Tlaib*, Israel would have -100 public approval.
