Mark Robinson says he is dropping his defamation lawsuit against CNN and that he "will not run next year, nor do I have plans to seek elected office in the future" x.com/markrobinson...

An important life update.
Today, my family and l are turning the page.
Scripture says of a man, "It is his glory to pass over a transgression." — Proverbs 19:11. It is more honorable to bury an injury than to revenge it.
Wrath denotes weakness; a noble, heroic spirit

The words of our Savior, along with the earthly reality that costly litigation and political gamesmanship by my detractors makes clear that continuing to pursue retribution from CNN is a futile effort.
That is why I have asked Jesse Binnall and his legal team to terminate any continued attempt to litigate with CNN on my or my family's behalf.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽
Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.
i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
This is not a thought and prayers post,,, this is heartfelt hurt for the families and friends and US Figure Skating and DC School District and everyone who is affected. This is bout politicians who need to stfu bout trying to blame women and black people for this absolute tragedy,,, Not the time!!!
My heart breaks for all victims and their friends and families of last nights horrific air crash,,, it’s a time of grieving and strength and love,,, not politics. May God bless everyone with strength to get thru this tough time together.
Mr President sir I have it on good authority that landlords are doing DEI. They are woke sir
just start saying this plainly to more people i'm serious.
The constitution quite clearly gives Congress the power of the purse, a power the Executive branch is pretending it now has. Or did you not pay attention at all in school?
What do you suppose they are talking about?
incredible to have a president who appears to be speed-running getting impeached, and even more incredible to to have two other branches of government who are just sitting there watching it as if it is actually a livestream which they are unable to impact in any way
Basically, all of Kash Patel's hearing was like this: Dem Sen: You said on the "Tightest Whitie Podcast," quote, 'I'm going to use the FBI to hunt down Trump's enemies, period, full stop, it's as simple as that, no more, no less." Is that your intent? Patel: That was taken out of context.
sorry if I'm being a little annoying about violations to the constitution, but damn it feels weird to be on the side making a fuss about that
As Jesus famously said, Love thy neighbor a bit less than thyself
I mean yes, there is such a concept in Christianity. It appears quite notably in the letters of Paul, for instance, where it’s a concept he *relentlessly* argues against, and in the Gospel where it’s a concept Jesus very much repeatedly scorns. So it is technically in there!

Here is a nice mushroom
A single brown Mycena mushroom with a very flat cap and fuzzy stem grows between fallen burgundy oak leaves and pine needles on the forest floor

DeepSeek took off in part because, in a first, it offered a reasoning model that explains to you what it's doing. Its success shows how little AI product teams have done so far to make their products appealing to normal people: www.platformer.news/deepseek-des...
How else could chatbots be made more appealing? The popularity of r1’s chain of thought suggests that they should communicate more about their process, and in particular offer the user guidance on how to refine their queries when they don’t get the answer they’re looking for. Just telling users how a chatbot understood their question seems to build an outsized amount of trust. 

I also think there’s something appealing about r1’s humility — in conveying its own lack of certainty, it sounds less like the authoritative robots we have come to expect and more like Star Wars’ C-3PO. That’s somewhat counterintuitive — I don’t know many people who think the final form of superintelligence is a bumbling droid — and yet too often we forget how alien and unapproachable these systems remain to all but the most devoted AI nerds.

I should really update the logo. The U-matic videotape of a telecine of an old internal training film I always copy it from is getting worn out.

Incredible comment in yesterday's episode on housing affordability even worse. All around the country, construction workers will be migrating to California for the post-fire rebuilding efforts, which will make new development even harder.
