Over the last few months, the two have occasionally skirmished along their winding, porous frontier as tension has escalated. The latest confrontation is by far the most serious.
Wait! Isnât this one of those wars the president ended..? Weird.

đ¸ My Fellow Americans, We Are Richer Than Ever Before. Well, You Arenât, but We Are
satireMy fellow Americans, despite what everyone else says, we are living in the golden age of America. Not your golden age, though. My golden age. As in: I am very old, and everything I own is either solid gold or gold-plated or painted in gold to make it seem like itâs real gold.
Honestly, Iâm not actually sure if this is funny given itâs basically a fact-based reporting. Or at the very least, more factual than anything coming out of this administration.
đ Brooklyn Public Library ends passport services after State Department order ⢠Brooklyn Paper
politicsSo youâre telling me the people who are only trying to âmake elections more secureâ and not prevent people from voting by passing a strict voter ID law just made it harder for New Yorkers to get said ID? HmmmâŚ
đŁ Regime Change Is Blowing Up A School Full Of Children
IranYou wouldnât trust anyone in the Trump administration to water your garden properly, and yet they get to decide who and what gets blown up. Everyone else has to suffer the consequences, this time none more greatly than those girls and their families.
The draft dodging head of the Board of Peace who said no more wars in the Middle East and that only terrible negotiators would bomb Iran, just bombed Iran, turning an already devastating situation in the Middle East with the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, into an even bigger chaotic mess, likely to start more war. Maybe his plan is to start as many wars as possible so he can then âstopâ all the wars and win his Nobel prize.
đ¸ Buddy Guy â Tiny Desk Concert
musicA living legend and at nearly 90 years old, heâs still got it. Iâve been lucky enough to see him live twice, both times over a decade ago, at Claptonâs Crossroads Guitar Festival, and then at Buddyâs Legends club in Chicago. Seeing him at his small, intimate club was one of my favorite musical experiences ever.
Also, very cool to see him bring out Miles Caton from Sinners for a couple songs.
đ¤ OpenAI Reaches A.I. Agreement With Defense Dept. After Anthropic Clash
aiâTwo of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems,â Mr. Altman said. âThe DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.â
From one liar to anotherâso you know it has to be true. They somehow have the same principles as Anthropic, but magically came to an agreement despite those principles being the only thing killing the Anthropic agreement. More likely, OpenAI has been chomping at the bit to get at that military industrial complex complex money so thereâs actual some money coming in that they can point at for their investors to oooh and ahhh at and continue to pretend they are somehow worth over $700 million.
