"The Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex (MDSCC) in Robledo de Chavela was evacuated on July 24 due to the wildfires. All personnel are safe following the passage of the fire through the area. [...] Mission operations have been transferred seamlessly to the Goldstone Complex (California). This ensures service continuity and uninterrupted support for spacecraft communications." From the thread #DeepSpaceNetwork

Verizon didn't even bother to seal up the hole. Just drilled a hole in the brick, ran the fiber through, and left a welcome mat for any ants (or other insects) and water to come right in. I fucking hate cable and telephone companies.

Trump's war has failed.
His economic policy has failed.
His trade policy has failed.
MAHA has failed.
His political project is failing.
Donald Trump is a world-altering, titanic f*ck up:
He and his team increasingly look like rapacious buffoons who are way over their head:

"AI" has introduced whole new ways to be incredibly rude and our social habits have not yet adapted.
If you're feeling frustrated by only having "that's unethical" as a thing to push back on AI, consider "that's incredibly rude what you just did". Not all use is rude, but start paying attention to it.

Another one is prompting LLMs for others, that I've mentioned before.
Another is citing the LLM as an authority. "Claude says..." as a way to win an argument on authoritative rather than factual grounds.
You CAN get good information out of an LLM. But it requires the epistemic humility to do, and if you're not bringing that, it's pretty damn rude. "I believe because Claude says..." is not terrible. At least then we're talking about your belief and not Claude as authority.
Adding a bot to a channel without a chance for the people in it to push back is incredibly rude.
(It's not lost on me that a lot of things that are normal in business to inflict unilaterally on teams are things I consider extremely rude.)

I had a very vivid dream last night of fighter jets flying and shooting straight into the water and coming back up some distance away.
I just realized that I knew these kinda of moves they made: that have been a realistic live action dream movie version of Luftrausers.

The right wing think tank "Manhattan Institute", is in the midst of a yearlong campaign to pass state-level legislation
reclassifying minor crimes like vandalism, blocking a roadway, or trespassing during a protest as felonies that would carry 18-month prison sentences as punishment.
The push to criminalize forms of nonviolent disobedience as a form of terrorism comes amid a broader Trump administration effort to crack down on leftist organizations, causes, and social m…
