Seriously, this deserves an Oscar nomination :)
Total banger - what AI is doing to the world in general... and vibe coding in particular!

Filmed yesterday at Springs Shelter. The man is Daniel, 47. Came to "just look." Spent 20 minutes with a dog named Murphy. Three-year-old mixed breed. Returned twice for "clinginess." Visit ended.
Daniel stood up to leave. Murphy panicked. Didn't bark. Didn't bite. Jumped into Daniel's arms. Like a toddler. Wrapped his legs around Daniel's torso.
Pressed his face into Daniel's neck. Then went completely rigid. Frozen. Daniel tried to put him down. Murphy's grip tightened. Claws digging into Daniel's shirt. Staff watched. Nobody moved. Daniel said: "I can't just leave him like this." Carried Murphy to the tront desk. Signed adoption papers while Murphy was still wrapped around him. Shelter director told us: "Murphy wasn't being aggressive. He was holding on like someone who's been dropped too many times. Daniel couldn't put him down because Murphy wouldn't let go. And Daniel couldn't leave someone who needed him that desperately." Sometimes a dog doesn't beg. They just refuse to

This story has circulated on social media with varying details such as different shelter names. Animal shelters have warned that many similar viral clingy dog adoption videos are AI generated rather than real events. animalcare.lacounty.gov/news/when-comp… facebook.com/pawspendleton/…

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while
bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...
but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:
- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%
- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)
- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds
- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)
- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility
- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium
- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains
- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules
- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years
- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years
Ooops, sorry!
That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.

Thinking back on my childhood with all the strong, masculine men I grew up around, one trait they all shared was not giving a shit about what other people thought of them. They didn't measure their "t-levels," didn't sun-tan their balls and they sure as shit didn't go on and on about what huge victims they were because some person, group or minority was a supposed threat to their existence. They didn't bitch about Starbucks cups, children's cartoons and M&M's mascots not being sexy enough. They ate steak, worked hard, and went to sleep. They were men of few words and fewer complaints, unlike the endless chirping from the ultra-soft culture-warrior cryhards who always manage to find themselves balls-deep in another victimhood narrative after listening to yet another droning podcast. The men of yester-year worked hard and built shit. They didn't thump their chests with pride at the accomplishments of others, because they were too busy accomplishing things of their own.
Watching maga sycophants lap up the words from a Cold War era KGB spymaster is yet another peak of right wing brain rot.

Earlier today, the US Treasury Secretary finally admitted the obvious: the U.S. will not be buying any Bitcoin, killing months of rumors.
Exactly as I predicted, the government strung the naive Bitcoiners along with a fake narrative about building a “strategic reserve.” In reality, it was nothing more than a holding pen for seized BTC, something that’s existed for over a decade. No new policy. No strategic move.
The real purpose was so obvious - to juice prices for insiders. Bo Hines, sitting on millions in BTC, abruptly resigned under the weight of glaring conflicts of interest. David Sacks claimed to have dumped all his crypto, yet his venture fund conveniently retained stakes in the very tokens the admin. was pushing. And Donald Trump Jr., via World Liberty Financial, cornered the bulk of the crypto revenue streams and token supply, pocketing well over a hundred million dollars.
This wasn’t governance. It was state-sanctioned market rigging—dressing up a cash-grab for political cronies as national policy, and leaving the public holding the bag while the insiders laughed all the way to the bank.

Andrew Weissman says Trump going after Jack Smith would be a huge mistake.
“Trump spent years trying to avoid, and largely being successful, avoiding any of these cases, going to trial," he pointed out. "And if he's going to have a trial here, that's going to be a forum for Jack Smith and people to put on the evidence that he has tried for so long to avoid."
To me the same applies to going after Obama. All the evidence Mueller collected will come to light. These are things Trump wants no part of. The simple reason is that Trump would have to testify and his testimony would most likely reveal more evidence against him. Trump cannot face the heat under direct questioning and would likely confess to more crimes.

Just so we’re all clear, Donald Trump ordered Todd Blanche to give the head of an international global sex trafficking, pedophile ring legal immunity.
