Trump's personal victim complex has powered much of its political career.

Now it's going global — with the entire world, not just Trump's domestic enemies, feeling the weight of retribution. t.co/ysLxhnyWTF

@johncarlosbaez @pluralistic @algaeman @CptSuperlative it took me a while to interpret this, so I'd like to ask if I understand correctly? Are you saying that if it's not more-than-2 to 1, it doesn't count as a wild outspending?

Georgian photojournalists and documentary photographers stated they are “disturbed” and “outraged” by World Press Photo’s decision to award Russian photographer Mikhail Tereshchenko, a reporter for the Kremlin-controlled TASS agency, for his photo story capturing protests in Tbilisi in late November and early December last year. His photos, taken for the Russian propaganda TASS,

You read that right. 75% of scientists are considering leaving the US. Forgive me (not really) if I'm struggling to understand exactly how this is making the US anything other than diminished, stupid, and ill.

After my mini rant about Vibe Coding yesterday, I'm following it up today with a list of examples of AI "missteps", illustrating how developer skills still very much matter in agent-assisted coding, and ideas how to mitigate that.

This title should read "The end of remote work doesn't work for families".

And contrary to the paragraph in the article, it doesn't work even for executives who hire or delegate as a substitute to family ties. Watch any stupid US Xmas movie if you don't understand why.
