As officials disparage Pretti and Good, families of Black people killed by police have déjà vu
The shooting deaths of white protesters Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal officers in Minneapolis have followed a playbook that is painfully familiar to Black Americans.

Twitter post from @BenjaminDEKR “OpenClaw is interesting, but will also drain your wallet if you aren't careful. Last night around midnight I loaded my Anthropic API account with $20, then went to bed. When I woke up, my Anthropic balance was $O. Opus was checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night." Doing literally nothing, OpenClaw spent the entire balance. How? The "Heartbeat" cron job, even though literally the only thing I had going was one silly reminder, ("remind me tomorrow to get milk")” Continuation of twitter post “1. Sent ~120,000 tokens of context to Opus 4.5 2. Opus read HEARTBEAT md, thought about reminders 3. Replied "HEARTBEAT_OK" 4. Cost: ~$0.75 per heartbeat (cache writes) The damage: - Overnight = ~25+ heartbeats - 25 × $0.75 = ~$18.75 just from heartbeats alone - Plus regular conversation = ~$20 total The absurdity: Opus was essentially checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night." The problem is: 1. Heartbeat uses Opus (most expensive model) for a trivial check 2. Sends the entire conversation context (~120k tokens) each time 3. Runs every 30 minutes regardless of whether anything needs checking That's $750 a month if this runs, to occasionally remind me stuff? Yeah, no. Not great.”

It's been 10 years of watching him cry like a baby at 1:00AM about people talking about him. His supporters think this is normal behavior. And now he's threatening to sue Trevor Noah? We know you were on the island dude. He's such an infant and I can't wait until we have an adult in charge again.

Absolutely brutal interview
Do you know- Also, it was a great pleasure for me to work with Brett again, because I did movies years ago with Brett. Well, he's been down on his luck a little bit lately, so that was nice of you to give him some help. And I always felt that as you do a movie with somebody, you're very intimate with this person. Brett Ratner, you are talking about? Yeah. Not the intimacy level of when you go out with a girl. But, you're close. It's like a family. You live twenty-four hours with someone shooting a movie. So I know Brett very well, and I know he is a very good, generous soul. Aw. He's not an aggressive person. I have read different things. He is not an aggressive person, so I was very happy to see him being happy again, to be able to work, because he's been without work for a few years, which I think is kind of unjust. It makes no sense to me, knowing Brett very well. I know you've said that Brett's been "frustrated" these past eight years, and there were all these accusations against him—that he forced women to perform sex acts, that he masturbated in front of women, all these things. So you didn't believe them, or you weren't concerned about them? Well, I don't know. I was not present. What I can tell you is that Brett might have made some mistakes, but his character is very gentle—he is a very gentle, generous person, always kind to everybody in the crew, men or women, always very respectable. So that's why I wanted to go back and help him, because I felt that what happened to him was kind of unjust. So is that because you don't believe the accusations, or because you think that it's time to move on? I don't know. I'm not informed about the accusations. I wasn't there. I wasn't present, but I know his personality. I know his character. I can't tell because I wasn't there, and he might've made some mistakes, but he's a very good guy at heart. He's a very generous and human kind of person. You told the Times that Brett "made some mistakes." Has he told you that he made mistakes? No. No. No. Isaac, no. All I'm saying is that I worked with him twelve hours, fifteen hours, a day, and then everybody went their own way. Our age difference is wide. I could be his father. I read that Roman Polanski is a father figure to him. So that role might already be filled. There are a lot of people who feel affection for Brett. Yeah, yeah. Because he's a good kid. [In 2007's Paris-based "Rush Hour 3," Ratner gave a cameo to Polanski, who had fled to France after being accused of anally and vaginally raping a thirteen-year-old. He was later accused of sexually assaulting other teen-agers, which he denies. In the cameo, Polanski has a comic scene where he prepares to do an anal-cavity search of Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. J The Times has you saying that he made some mistakes. That's what I was curious about. What I'm saying is, he might've made some mistakes. I don't know. It's not like 1 was with him when he was interviewing actresses to do a movie or that kind of activity. It's the same with Trump. A lot of accusations have been made against him, but neither you nor I were in the room. So who's to say, really? Yeah, exactly.

Still a bit flummoxed that Trump hasn't done a single thing he didn't say he was going to do and some people are still somehow absolutely shocked at what he's done.

I think it's funny that this interview gave Chotiner a chance to reference this thing he tweeted about 4 years ago
Isaac Chotiner @IChotiner X.com *Brett Ratner* cast *Roman Polanski* in a 'Rush Hour 3' cameo in 2007, during which the latter gets to joke about penetrating Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker amidst a 'cavity search.' This has to be one of the most morally depraved moments in movie history. 8:47 AM • 5/7/22

A member of the Abu Dhabi royal family secretly invested $500 million into the Trump family’s crypto company, gaining a major ownership stake.

Months after inking the deal, the U.S. gave the UAE access to 500,000 advanced AI chips per year.

The corruption is breathtaking.

Months ago, Trump supporters screamed about the urgent need to end political violence. Today, many of those same people are quiet about ICE committing murder in Trump's name. The hypocrisy is astounding.
