“Our deepest sympathies are with the Raine family for their unimaginable loss,” OpenAI said in its blog, while its filing acknowledged, “Adam Raine’s death is a tragedy.” But “at the same time,” it’s essential to consider all the available context, OpenAI’s filing said, including that OpenAI has a mission to build AI that “benefits all of humanity” and is supposedly a pioneer in chatbot safety.

How the fuck is OpenAI’s mission relevant to the case? Are suggesting that their mission is worth a few deaths?

The cases were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they can be refiled at a later date.

Five days after the post, Halligan, who had no prosecutorial experience, presented the Comey case to a grand jury. The presentation came days before a five-year statute of limitations on the charges was set to expire.

How does the statute of limitations work after a case is dismissed? Are they still allowed to refile?

Epstein’s brother said it wasn’t Clinton, but he didn’t say anything about the horse!

Now they say only enable it if you understand the security implications, but eventually they’ll downplay the security implications and enable it by default.

“The president’s been saying this is a hoax,” Massie said, referring to several claims Trump has made in reaction to repeated calls for full disclosure of the files. “He’s been saying that for months. Well, he’s just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it’s a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations that he’s announced. If they have ongoing investigations in certain areas, those documents can’t be released.

“So, this might be a big smokescreen, these investigations, to open a bunch of them, as a last-ditch effort to prevent the release of the Epstein files,” he added.

The summary didn’t quite get to how it’s a smokescreen: Investigating Epstein’s ties to Dems might seem like just a distraction from Trump’s connections to him, but investigations also create an excuse for DOJ to block the release of files.

Trump sucked Clinton’s dick as sure as JD Vance fucked a couch.

They have two kids, and the article doesn’t mention how the transvestigators are dealing with Erika’s pregnancies. Do they think she faked it twice, or did she not make public appearances while pregnant?

Steam Deck Verified games should be fine, and a lot of non-Verified games were only downgraded to “Playable” because of issues that may not matter on a desktop, like small text (what’s small on a Steam Deck screen may not be small on a monitor) or needing to manually trigger the on-screen keyboard (a desktop is usually accompanied by a physical keyboard).

Is ICE going to start targeting fat people for deportation next?

And in case anyone is unfamiliar with Hakeem Jefferies: He’s Black, not Mexican. The sombrero didn’t make sense in the original post either.

Maybe I’m just picky, but I think Mint replacing the standard Firefox icon should lower its place on the list of distros for people coming from Windows. Out of their preinstalled applications, Firefox is the one a Windows user is probably the most likely to be familiar with, and out-of-the-box they’ve got it pinned to the taskbar with an icon that a Windows user won’t recognize. There’s so many other distros where a Windows user can log in and clearly spot Firefox.

There’s a tiny bit of red in the Middle East. I think it’s Israel.

They have a pro version that adds AI features, no idea the pricing yet though.

The aricle says the AI stuff is tied to Canva’s Premium subscription, which is 120 USD/year:

Canva Premium subscribers will also be able to use AI-powered Canva editing tools like image generation, photo cleanup, and instant copy directly within the Affinity app.

a provincial program that allows wineries to import grapes from the United States

Pretty sure a provincial program is the provincial government’s fault.

No no, you don’t understand. It’ll be much easier to fund school stuff after ICE deports all the students Stephen Miller doesn’t think should be in the US. /s

Kaine, joined by other Democrats and Paul, has forced the votes under a decades-old law that allows Congress to block a president’s emergency powers. However, House Republicans have passed new rules that allow leaders to prevent such resolutions from getting a vote in that chamber, and Trump could veto the legislation even if it did clear Congress.

So basically, nothing is going to change.

Brazilian imports, including coffee, beef and other products

We’ve found Republicans’ limit: Don’t fuck with people’s coffee.

Gizmodo’s article has more detail.

Trump is pardoning so many people it could be argued that the volume makes it unlikely he’s “aware of the substance of the various pardons and commutations”.

Grey’s Anatomy has had a couple of spinoffs (Private Practice, Station 19) so I’d say it counts as a franchise.
