Two things:
1. He sort of famously failed to overthrow the government, hence the indictments
2. “Biden should simply have skipped the inconvenient parts of criminal procedure” is a dumb take both because Biden (and Trump!) couldn’t do that and because it would be very bad if they could

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if AI can't improve productivity of coding, then all other claims about productivity improvements are essentially horseshit.
Coding was the one thing everyone was like "well yeah of course it will be able to do that faster"

Harvard just dropped a study AI productivity in software engineering and it found the average increase in productivity from using Claude code is.....zero and for exactly the reasons you'd think

The DSA/“pro-Pali” crowd has now decided that both Abdul El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani, the two highest-profile Muslim, anti-Israel politicians in the U.S., are guilty of genocide.
Because they both dared to say “antisemitism’s bad, m’kay?”
Ok, then.

Pro-Palestinian protesters gather outside City Hall to call out Mayor Zohran Mamdani for what they see as his betrayal of the movement.
"Mayor Mamdani, you can't hide we charge you with genocide" was a chant that just rang out.

If they’re admitting 81 planes, drones and helicopters worth $3.3 billion have been lost in Iran, imagine what they’re not telling us. The real cost is likely far higher, and our grandchildren will be paying for this unnecessary war and his reckless spending.
