My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:

I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see
'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

That means October 17 will be the largest early vote activation in American history.

I'm torn between thinking this is really cool (which it is) and thinking about what happens when there are 50-foot waves.
It's really cool regardless.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

If that's true and a national trend, then yeah, this will be a 1994 or 2010, but in reverse, with Republicans losing state legislative chambers they didn't even think were competitive (such as the state houses in Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas).
Steve Deace Show: “Yesterday, Iowa House Republicans were informed by their own pollsters that if you are in a +15 district you’re within the margin for error, if you’re in a +10 district you’re underwater, and that this might end being an even worse midterm environment than 2006.”

I did a somewhat deep dive into the recent OpenAI and Anthropic "hacks" for an upcoming interview.
IMO, the AI companies are better off running with the "rogue AI" story because the real story is actually pretty embarrassing.

Society’s silence on the scores of women who die at the hands of men while hyper focusing on the actions of this one woman is violent patriarchy.

No starker example of the media having different rules for each political party. If the press treated Elon Musk like Hasan Piker, every Republican in America would be forced to answer questions about why their party's biggest donor espouses anti-semitic race science.
