Trump's latest pardons underscore the breadth of his efforts to clear anyone involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, which was won by Joe Biden.
Donald Trump on Friday issued a second pardon to Daniel Edwin Wilson,
whom he had previously pardoned for participation in the breach of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021,
but was in prison on a separate gun charge. The action was announced Saturday morning.
Trump also pardoned Suzanne Kaye, who had been sentenced to…

"For Levy and Newborn, the stakes were clear, and the title of the first chapter of the book says it all: “The Challenge is World Champion Kasparov”. Said chapter describes in detail the match between a first iteration of a chess supercomputer by IBM, the less well-known “Deep Thought”. It was a strong contender, having defeated quite a few grandmasters along the way (including the aforementioned Levy), but was no match for Kasparov in August 1989."

Thousands of dinosaur footprints dating back 210 million years have been found in a national park in northern Italy.
The footprints - some of which are up to 40cm (15in) in diameter - are aligned in parallel rows,
and many show clear traces of toes and claws.
It is thought the dinosaurs were prosauropods - herbivores with long necks, small heads and sharp claws.

Just finished "New Kid" by Jerry Craft. An excellent graphic novel about navigating middle school as one of only a few Black kids at a rich private school. I love how clear Jordan (the main character) is about the racism he encounters and how it affects him and his friends. Even though his parents have done a good job of preparing him for the realities he'll face, getting through them isn't easy. Still, rather than a book about "learning how racist the world is" this is a book about "navigating the expected racism" and it's a refreshing difference.

The recent election results proved something important.
Voters responded to candidates who spoke directly to economic pain.

They won by acknowledging reality, not sugarcoating it.
They won because they talked like people who know what a grocery bill feels like in 2025.
The mandate was clear:
tell the truth about the economy and fight for people who are getting squeezed.

OpenAI has made a decision to encourage its users to form a parasocial relationship with ChatGPT. It's gross and dangerous. Also just not useful for serious use. But it will make their users more loyal and encourage psychological dependency.
GPT‑5.1 Instant, ChatGPT’s most used model, is now warmer by default and more conversational. Based on early testing, it often surprises people with its playfulness while remaining clear and useful.
(I really like ChatGPT and use it all the time. But this change is the exact opposite of what I want.)

Gaza genocide
Lots of democrats and well meaning liberals were telling us that Biden could do nothing. Like being the biggest army in the world and paying for Israel weapons was not a pressure point.
At no point in time did Biden actually pressured the Israeli government. He even prevented the state department from issuing concerns about war crimes. More revelations came after his presidency, it was truly damning.
That's why he was called Genocide Joe

I have seen little comment on the question "Israel vs Gaza - why peace now, why not before now?"
The answer could be that El Cheeto loves and supports strong-men such as Netanyahu.
And it is clear to any observer that Netanyahu is in political and legal trouble, and that the genocide in Gaza is putting Netanyahu into a vise between various sides that will, probably, cause him to lose office (and lose his defense in his criminal trials.)

Day 21: Aya Yoshinaga
I'm actually generally much less aware of the creators involved in the anime I watch, for a number of reasons, and the few anime directors I could name without looking them up were all men before I started this list. I've now got a short list of anime directors/writers who are women, and the first I'll include here is Yoshinaga, in part because she was pivotal to one of my favorite lesser-known anime, "Kurau Phantom Memory". It was actually one of the first anime I watched ever, but I didn't like it just because of that, since I've rewatched it at least twice and still regard it highly. It's got a pretty cool science fiction setting, an extremely cool barely-comprehensible alien race, a female protagonist who is not sexualized and not subjected to romance, and it centers a platonic relationship torn apart by technological hubris. Very "cool seinen stuff that wouldn't make it past the focus groups today" stuff.
Besides Kurau, Yoshinaga has worked on other great stuff like Golden Kamuy, Azumanga Daioh, Durarara, and Fullmetal Alchemist, and when you see a correlation like that between well-written shows and the same writer showing up again and again, it's clear there's talent there, even if most of these are manga-based.
Probably going to circle back to at least one more anime writer, but for tomorrow I'll move on to manga probably, since I want to space out all my YA enthusiasm a bit.
