Pete Hegseth is working hard to make sure the public hears only good news about Iran war
Americans have been able to know what troops at war are facing, and make informed decisions about the war’s cost, because a free press has been able to tell the story − good or bad. Can it still?

My BBC Model B series 7 case looks a disaster inside, but it's working nicely after a recap; caps 1,2,9 in the PSU. It worried me by not beeping - but the capslock worked, and after pushing the socketed analogue chips down under the keyboard it's good. It's a bit fuzzy on the UHF, but there again that is a terrible lead I used. Just has DNFS and View in. The W key took some cleaning, and the '.' is still not working. Getting the aux socket out of the PSU is a bastard!…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has declared Anthropic a supply-chain risk,

which bars companies that work with the Pentagon from working with Anthropic as well.
Anthropic is challenging this designation in court.

As many others have noted , I am afraid Trump's truth social posts are mainly to influence financial and oil markets and it works.

Answer: ZERO !!! Question from Blackbird Spyplane via kottke: What is the actual revolutionary potential of a male-gaze-subverting knee-length skirt sewn by women paid piece rates in L.A. and NYC? What is the true liberatory power of a dad cap embroidered with feminist and anti-racist slogans by nonwhite women working 80-hour weeks in a Bangladeshi sweatshop?

But absurdity is no impediment to religious belief—credo quia absurdum. Working mostly off-campus, I noticed no real change in my own university until the BLM-riot-inspired anti-racism crisis of 2020, when I found that academe, originally a place for the free exchange of ideas, had become almost unrecognizable. Higher education has begun a transformation along the same lines as the 1966 “Cultural Revolution” in Maoist China.

Years ago, I was working for a non-profit on a contract basis (illegally on their part, since I should've been classified as an employee under state law; that's what we call a red flag, folks). I'd never met the executive directory (ED), but he was in the office one day.
I was showing my boss the kernel driver I'd just gotten working, and demoing it working on the prototype hardware. My boss calls in the ED to show him as well. The ED is impressed. (1/2)

Regardless, we can be careful to echo the OP in a way that doesn’t inadvertently become advertising.
❌ No: “This magical tech holds the keys to the future, and if billionaires own it then that screws the working class!” (This is a caricature, not what the OP wrote! I’m just exaggerating the thing to steer clear of.)

Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men.
