"Anyone who still thinks these are unrelated events, disconnected policy decisions made by different people at different times for different reasons, is in willful denial. This is a coordinated demolition of federal land stewardship in America. Every piece connects. Every move advances the same goal: transferring control of your public lands from professional public servants accountable to you to political operatives accountable to the extraction industry."

We can afford to give $200 B / yr in tax cuts, over $50B to date for a war, $6 B to Israel, $40 B to Argentina, $6 B to Musk, $16 B to Bezos, and ask for another $200 B to continue the war ( over half a Trillion dollars), but we can't afford healthcare, food, or housing for our citizens.

Jesse Lee: "It says something about Lee Zeldin that Trump would say 'Pam Bondi just hasn’t been corrupt enough for me, you know who would be great?' Lee Zeldin.

Zeldin helping Trump completely destroy the Environmental Protection Agency and repurpose it as a handmaiden for oil, gas, and coal donors may just be Trump’s most sweeping corruption."

All the devs saying that Anthropic’s code quality is “normal” are telling on themselves and everybody they’ve worked with

(Also supports what many have been saying about software quality being a crisis that precedes LLMs, but that’s another story)

Claude code source "leaks" in a mapfile
people immediately use the code laundering machines to code launder the code laundering frontend
now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source

What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???

Immigrant Workers in Colorado Lead “Historic Strike” at JBS, Largest U.S. Meat Processor

More than 3,000 meatpacking workers in Greeley, Colorado, have been on strike since mid-March, the first major labor strike in the U.S. meatpacking industry since 1985. Workers at JBS USA, the U.S. subsidiary of Brazilian-based multinational JBS, are protesting unfair and dangerous labor conditions, including low wages, lack of personal protective gear and discrimination against its majority-immigrant workforce. “This company is one of the richest companies in the world, and the wage increases that they’re offering simply just don’t keep up with the economy and the high cost of living,” says Kim Cordova, president of the union that represents JBS workers in Greeley. “These workers literally feed America,” adds organizer Caitlyn Clark, director at the labor rights nonprofit Essential Workers for Democracy. “This is really a historic strike. These workers are standing up not just for their own plant, but the meatpacking industry as a whole.”

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. — Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.

Think about this. Having started a war with no planning, the US has discovered that it can't defend its own bases in the Middle East. So it is shifting troops to hotels and other residences where they are shielded by civilians. That's a war crime.

Placing U.S. Troops in Middle East Hotels May Violate Laws of War

U.S. commanders have kept many troops away from bases in the region to protect them from Iran’s ballistic missile attacks.
