Linda McMahon Pretends She Cares About Sexual Deviants Being Punished

I guess as long as it's a teacher and not her husband, she's fine with it. Education Sec. Linda McMahon (who like most in the Trump administration, has no business being in that job in the first place) made an appearance on Fox's Saturday in America with Kayleigh McEnany, a...

Spineless Reporters Let Trump Walk All Over Them On Iran

After the news of Sen. Lindsey Graham's death, Trump dialed it into NBC's Meet the Press for a lengthy interview, and when host Kristen Welker tried to ask him about CENTCOM saying they struck 140 Iranian military targets this Saturday, Trump got testy and told her he "didn...

Jockeying Begins for Lindsey Graham’s Senate Seat

“The sudden death of Sen.

Manton Reece Supports Webmention Valid

Robin Sloan blogged about attending a Stop the AI Race march:

These things are growing and mutating faster than anybody can make sense of them. So … here’s a wild thought … let’s slow down, and make sense of them.

I really like Robin’s blog and his books. I don’t think a pause can work, though, because coordinating with China labs and all open source seems nearly impossible. I’d rather see better plans for investing in renewal energy and some kind of UBI-like fund to help with the economy. No matter the speed of AI development, slow or fast, we’re going to need those things.

Sam Altman and Elon Musk Argue Over Who’s Running the Bigger Scam

x.com/sama/status/2075982617976230043

Elon Musk, linking to his own tweet from March that “Sam Altman is super good at scamming”:

He takes scamming to a whole new level

Sam Altman:

homeboy you’re the one sellling public market investors on short-term space datacenters

Musk:

We start flying them next year. Maybe you can come see them if your parole officer approves.

After stealing an open source AI charity, you then stole all of Apple’s phone technology! Wow.

What do you plan for an encore? That’s tough to beat.

(All spelling, capitalization, and punctuation sic.)

These are two of the CEOs of the most valuable companies on the planet. Say what you want about it, but Musk’s Twitter/X is like nothing else that’s ever existed. Screenshot of the thread for posterity, and an XCancel link for those icked by X itself.

Battle for Future of Democratic Party Rages in Key Primary
