I told you this Clancy insanity didn’t start with TikTok. It goes back well into the 90s when Sunny Hostin was nullifying verdicts for cannibals.
Spencer Pratt
Sunny Hostin brags about being a holdout juror that prevented The Butcher of Thompson Square Park from going to prison.
She admits "once he killed her, he chopped up her body parts, yes, boiled her body parts ... and fed her body parts to the unhoused."

Only because they had a reservation at some fancy restaurant and being the elites they are, didn’t want to miss dinner and drinks while their failed state starves their citizens.
🚨Just Now: President Trump declares Cuba is a “failed state” and that Cuba will fall” during his address at the United Nations
As a result, the Cuban delegation walked out

A woman just filmed a cotton field like she discovered a forbidden relic and asked “how do we still have cotton fields.”
Harvesting is done by machines that cost more than most houses. Nobody is out there with a sack.
Are people really this stupid?!

Here is video of John Hickenlooper(D), then Governor of Colorado, threatening to remove a @9News reporter’s access, as Governor, for daring to ask Hickenlooper questions. Starts around the 5:45 mark of this video.

The president is banning press from the White House because he can’t stand answering questions about his failed agenda that’s increasing prices.

So many questions like this….we have a completely nonfunctional legislative branch, an executive branch who fills that power vacuum, and a judicial branch that operates as intended to gets attached constantly by the other two dysfunctional branches. SNAFU.
Two quick questions... whatever happened to:
1) getting rid of the time change?
2) looking inside of Fort Knox?
Why do mundane issues just disappear? Congress can't even get these two things done for us.
And the most important thing, the Save America Act, also gets ignored.
What is wrong with the congressional process that these things cannot be accomplished?

@MichaelDBrown ‘s post on the heroes who identified the 9/11 victims will bring tears to your eyes. Read “The Gasp” and be amazed at the depth of commitment and service recovery workers did on behalf of grieving families. heckuvajob.substack.com/p/th…

Freaking hilarious indeed. The @UN is not foreign sovereign land. It is in the US. If you don’t like this decision, then your HQ to Tehran. Then they can block Trump from speaking….and no one will care.
This is HILARIOUS
Trump is required by the UN to allow Iran to speak at the UN General Assembly.
We issued visas so the Iranian President can speak at the UN General assembly, then took away Iran's ability to fly to NYC.
Scott Bessent announced that starting Weds, any country providing fuel to any Iranian airlines will be heavily sanctioned.
For those of you wondering, that's the same day the Iranian President is scheduled to speak in NYC. GOOD LUCK making it home!

That she could be Denver’s Mayor is one of the most Denver things I can imagine. Unfortunately.
Shontel Lewis wants to be mayor of Denver when she shouldn't even been allowed to be on the RTD Board or City Council bc she stole from SNAP. That's supposed to disqualify her. And she says she stole because of trauma*🙄
That she could be mayor is scary AF

Colorado wants you to buy an annual permit before you can sell a photograph of an elk. $35 a year, and it reaches any wildlife, any insect, even a butterfly in your backyard.
Photograph a barn, sell it, fine. Photograph an elk, sell it, and now you owe the state a fee and its permission. That's pricing a picture by what's in it, and it's the kind of speech tax courts strike down.
The twist: a career wildlife official filed it, and in Colorado a citizen petition isn't a suggestion box. This same commission ran a fur-ban petition right over its own director in March.
The full case, every number, and how to fight it before the vote:

For some unknown reason I find this story highly satisfying. I'm due for a scope. Maybe I'll hide my phone and see what the gastroenterologist has to say.
A Virginia man accidentally left his phone recording while undergoing anesthesia for a colonoscopy. The audio captured medical staff insulting him, telling an assistant to lie to him, and discussing adding a false hemorrhoid diagnosis to his medical records. In 2015, a jury awarded him $500,000 in damages.
The patient, referred to in court documents as “D.B.,” underwent a colonoscopy in Reston, Virginia, in April 2013. Before receiving anesthesia, he activated his phone’s audio recorder to capture the post-procedure instructions. The device remained in his clothing beneath the operating table, unintentionally recording everything that happened during the procedure.
While listening to the recording on his way home, he discovered that anesthesiologist Dr. Tiffany Ingham had repeatedly mocked him while he was unconscious. She ridiculed his fear of needles, made insulting remarks about a rash he had mentioned, and said she had wanted to punch him following their conversation before the procedure.
The audio also revealed medical staff discussing ways to avoid interacting with him afterward. An assistant was told to falsely claim that the doctor had already spoken to him and that he simply couldn’t remember. Ingham was also heard discussing adding hemorrhoids to his medical records, despite no evidence of the condition being found.
The patient subsequently filed a lawsuit alleging defamation and medical malpractice. Following a three-day trial, a Fairfax County jury awarded him $500,000: $100,000 for defamation, $200,000 for medical malpractice, and $200,000 in punitive damages.
One juror later remarked that the defense had little room to dispute the allegations because the entire conversation had been captured on the recording.

If @BernieSanders is the baseline by which AI capabilities will be measured, we are well beyond that baseline capability. Hell, my old slide rule is beyond that measurement.
If you were an enemy of the U.S.A.—say the CCP—and wanted to neuter our power and influence in the world, you would try to derail our economic dominance as well as our military might…which is exactly what Bernie Sanders and his band of DSA devotees are proposing.

The great thing about the AI panic is that now @GretaThunberg can have a new grift. Population explosion, starvation, peak oil, global warming, global cooling, climate change, now AI. We're all going to die. At least that's what the incessant commercial on television and radio keeps telling me. If only Greta would now tell me.

“At the very heart of the political system . . . is control.”
“This is something which is crying out to heaven for more attention… ”
Luke de Pulford reveals the biggest thing that people don’t understand about the Chinese regime.
“At the very heart of the political system… is control.”
“It exists to protect itself, the party.”
“And to that end, it must exert control at any cost.”
“Unless you understand that at the heart of the thing… is the protection of the party, and the exacting of control in order to be able to do that, you will not understand it properly.”
And one issue exposes the true mind of the Chinese regime:
“One of the most difficult areas of CCP rights abuses has been this persistent and widespread problem of state-sponsored organ harvesting.”

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.
You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement.
I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible.
But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier.
Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want.
Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well.
So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it.
If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

At a 9/11 remembrance event night a man told the audience his brother's remains were not identified until April of 2002.
Seven months. The room gasped. They heard neglect.
I was sitting in the back of that room, and I knew what those 7 months actually were. Because my job took me to a garbage dump on Staten Island that I believe is one of the most sacred pieces of ground in America.
For 10 months after the attacks, investigators in white personal protective equipment stood at conveyor belts on a hill called Fresh Kills and searched 1.5 million tons of the World Trade Center by hand, down to fragments a ¼ inch. An average of 30 human remains recovered every single day. Wedding bands. Police shields. Office ID cards. Names given back to families who had nothing else to bury.
The wait was terrible. But the wait was the search.
Almost nobody knows this story. I wrote down what I saw on that hill one day in my journal 25 years ago. Today I published that story.
