2nd busiest passenger rail corridor in the country if it were a freeway, even redundant to other freeways, it would be fixed immediately like the 10 after the fire in LA

My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.

elon musk has more empathy for lines of code than a majority of humanity

its feels like a mass psychosis where tech leaders continue to insist you can be cruel, mean, and hurt the feelings of lines of code

So excited for this. JSK transformed the streets of the city I grew up in, and I can't wait to ask her how we can level up for generations to come. I hope to see many of you there, this is going to be an epic evening!

NEW: The head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement firmly condemning plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan.

Archbishop Paul Coakley calls the decision “a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered.” www.usccb.org/news/2026/us...

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops READINGS WASHINGTON - Yesterday, the U.S. Department of War announced that the firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the man convicted of killing 13 people and injuring 32 at Fort Hood, Texas in 2009, would be publicly livestreamed. Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued the following statement sharply condemning the decision of the U.S. government: "It is with shock and great sorrow that I have learned of the Department of War's decision to publicly livestream the execution of Nidal Hassan. Our God is the God of life. In no way can Hassan's actions be condoned but this decision is a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered. The word of God exhorts us: 'do not repay anyone evil for evil' (Romans 12:17). The public execution even of one who has done grave harm will only further undermine the moral fabric of our nation and be a blight on the conscience of its people.United States Conference of Catholic Bishops READINGS "It is with shock and great sorrow that I have learned of the Department of War's decision to publicly livestream the execution of Nidal Hassan.

Remember when they put out their side of the story on the shooting of Oscar Belgal that they will lie about anything and everything.

New York Daily News @nydailynews.com

A Trump-appointed federal judge ripped federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents for giving false sworn testimony and records to justify the violent mistaken-identity arrests of two men in the Bronx, one of whom was a U.S. citizen.

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

The Verge@theverge.com

Over the past year, Anthropic has repeatedly flirted with the idea that its AI models could be conscious in some way. In February, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on a podcast, “We don’t know if the models are conscious.”

Mullin began the press conference by saying "We are enforcing this nation's laws. Why is it controversial? Why would that be controversial?" As if all of human history doesn't show that laws and their enforcement can be very controversial (e.g., the 1765 Stamp Act and its impact on U.S. history).

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Markwayne Mullin: "No, we're not putting a pause on enforcement. I'm sorry, we're not. In fact, I'm not sorry ... we will not stop doing our job."

Indeed, the fact that Marble Hill is a "geographical curiosity" that is considered to be part of either the Bronx or Manhattan is mentioned before the fact that a child was in the car.
