More than 3,100 anti-authoritarian protests are scheduled across the US and at least 15 other countries on Saturday.
All these events will take place under a single banner: No Kings.
Formally launched in June to fight back against Trump administrationpolicies, the No Kings movement has grown with astonishing speed
– its second and most recent mass protest in October drew an estimated 7 million participants.
Organizers expect Saturday’s events to be the biggest prote…

"It is becoming painfully clear that not only the United States and Israel are losing this war, but that this is one of the biggest strategic failures of the west, with the most significant consequences for regional geopolitics and the global economy since world war two.” He said the US was nowhere near meeting its original strategic goals and had only created new problems."
It's nuts to me that the only way we get news from Metrolinx plans are through leaks or freedom of information requests.
No timeline, not even clear goals of what they are buildling. We don't know shit. It's insane to run a transit system like that. No wonder everything is late, it seems they don't even know what they are buildling.
Chris Madel, a defense lawyer who had been running for governor of Minnesota as a Republican,
said he had decided to end his campaign
because he had become outraged by the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.
The operation “has departed so far from the stated goals that it is simply a disaster,” Mr. Madel said

Automating Computational Chemistry Workflows via OpenClaw and Domain-Specific Skills

https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.25522 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.25522 https://arxiv.org/html/2603.25522
arXiv:2603.25522v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Automating multistep computational chemistry tasks remains challenging because reasoning, workflow specification, software execution, and high-performance computing (HPC) execution are often tightly coupled. We demonstrate a decoupled agent-skill design for computational chemistry automation leveraging OpenClaw. Specifically, OpenClaw provides centralized control and supervision; schema-defined planning skills translate scientific goals into executable task specifications; domain skills encapsulate specific computational chemistry procedures; and DPDispatcher manages job execution across heterogeneous HPC environments. In a molecular dynamics (MD) case study of methane oxidation, the system completed cross-tool execution, bounded recovery from runtime failures, and reaction network extraction, illustrating a scalable and maintainable approach to multistep computational chemistry automation.

I had not yet submitted myself to a deep dive into Thiel's theology, but it's way more interesting than I had imagined, and explains why he would call his company Palantir, which has always seemed a baffling choice to me. Apparently he's read One Piece, and imagines himself to be constructing A World Government?!?
Also I feel I understand a lot of things about Silicon Valley better now including lots of stuff about social network harms & corporate goals/policies. Belief in Girard's theory of mimetic desire (which I'd not encountered before) explains so much of SV founders' behavior and also it being at least partially reflective of reality explains both their success and some of their harms.

I love the sentiment, but this is actually exactly what law enforcement has always been. It's always been political, always racist, always arbitrary, always genocidal.
ICE is just what happens when they think they can get away with it. The other abuses require a lot more investigation. Abolishing ICE is a good first step.
For all folks who have just now become enraged with the brutality of law enforcement agencies like ICE: I hope we can walk together, and learn from each other, until our ways part... But I do hope you'll walk a little farther with me after we achieve our shared goals.

Nonetheless, the votes marked a weighty moment for lawmakers.

Most people think it’s just “extra income.”
That’s only half the story.
A side hustle is any income stream outside your main job or pension – but the type of side hustle determines whether you’re building freedom or just staying busy.
Robert Kiyosaki’s 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 explains this clearly:
🔹 𝐄 – 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞:
Paid for time worked
✔ Easy to start
✖ Income stops when you stop
🔹 𝐒 – 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐝:
You own the job
✔ More control, higher income potential
✖ Still tied to your time
🔹 𝐁 – 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫:
Systems work for you
✔ Scalable, leveraged income
✖ Requires learning and setup
🔹 𝐈 – 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫:
Money works for you
✔ Potentially passive
✖ Requires capital and knowledge
👉 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭:
Not all side hustles move you forward. Some just make you tired.
