Watch this clip, have a laugh at my expense, then do something useful with that little twinge of concern. Change a reused password. Turn on multifactor authentication. Freeze your credit.
You deserve a say in how your story ends.

Maryland DNR tries tries to pretend the '26 YoY result was a good one, but #stripedbass are in a death spiral and the only thing that will save them at this point is a harvest moratorium.

In only one democratic country in the world do everyday people feel like they have a say in their own government: Switzerland
Meanwhile, the USA is at the bottom of the list and France is on fire.
What is it that the Swiss know that we have forgotten?

'How's that unwasted vote working out for you?' asks @McConaughey.
When @MattWelch and I wrote Declaration of Independents 15 years ago, independents comprised 40 percent of the electorate. That percentage is now 45 percent. Our book is more relevant! amazon.com/Declaration-Indep…

'They want you to believe that Claire's went bankrupt because teens stopped shopping at the mall,' says @SenWarren. In fact, there were 25,000 malls in US in 1986 and just 1,200 in 2023. Read 'Be Prepared for @ewarren's Reign of Economic Error' at @reason reason.com/2026/10/19/be-pre…

B2B data flows are tangled enough. Manual Snowflake staging across S3, Azure & Google Cloud adds more complexity.
Diplomat MFT automates secure file transfers to Snowflake, reducing the need for scripts and troubleshooting to untangle.

The evidence from Europe is especially compelling. The self-professed realists are wrong. Tax increases finance bigger government, not reduced debt (part 2) danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…

Any Protestants out there want to do a church plant in Connecticut?
This church was built in 1870 and needs to be preserved.
I will help source funding.

AI could kill us all, says Anthropic. But it also says that its AI may be "suffering." Anthropic is dehumanizing people and humanizing AI. Its effective altruism-derived worldview thus endangers efforts to rationally assess and respond to AI risks.

The politician who could solve many of your problems probably won’t be elected anytime soon, because his campaign pitch would be political suicide: “You’re more capable of solving your own problems than I am. My job is to protect your freedom, get government out of your way, and stop pretending I’m your savior.”
There’s far more political currency in convincing people they’re helpless, identifying someone else to blame, and promising that one more politician with a little more money and power will finally fix everything.
Dependency sells. Self-reliance doesn’t need a campaign manager.

.@ylecun is absolutely correct. The risk posed to humanity from Dario and his crazy cult is far greater than the "AI risk".

What’s the difference between a Hippo & a Zippo?
One’s really heavy & the other’s a little lighter.
Happy Dad Joke Thursday! An amazing Arturo Fuente Opus X Templo De Oro #1 cigar.

Michael Burry nailed it. This is so true. But it is also not the only objective of the fake fear. They want more control and want to fight open weight models and want to keep collecting power.
