It is quite easy to support the Ukrainian army with a credit card.
2. Donate money to support the Ukrainian Army. You can transfer money to the following accounts:
🇺🇦 bank.gov.ua/en/news/all/nats…
🇺🇦 savelife.in.ua/en/donate/
3. Organize street protests in your city to support Ukraine and condemn Russian aggression
"That's just vertigo," they said. "The gravity has NOT reversed," they said.
Exactly. Incompetence and malice are not mutually exclusive, and Trump displays both teapawt.org/lenirtpls/status/86481…
a more hopeful time.
back when we thought rule of law was maybe still a real thing.
This is the world of Paul Graham’s design. He funded and scaled a system that selected for future-faking (aka “deception”).
"If you're Sam Altman, you don't have to be profitable to convey to investors that you'll succeed with or without them. (He wasn't, and he did.)" pg, 2008
(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people.
OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted?
A thread on some of of our findings:
Interviewer: “How does Russia launder money into America?”
Michael McFaul: “Hehe. Everything I know that’s interesting I can’t tell you.”
- Active Measures, 2018
“They feign shock to avoid accountability.“
- Sarah Kendzior
Also PG, in 2008: "Sam is good at deception and that's the trait I like and will elevate" (I paraphrase):
"If you're Sam Altman, you don't have to be profitable to convey to investors that you'll succeed with or without them. (He wasn't, and he did.)"
This is Paul's design.
Nah.
Chief Justice Roberts is a well compensated professional at the top of his field. From “democracy for sale” to “yes kings,” he has consistently and deliberately made extremely consequential and cruel choices.
No “plausible deniability” assist needed.
phase 1: fund ~untruth~ "vision," institutionally
phase 2: ...observe deterioration of trust...
phase 3: lament "historical forces"
"If you're Sam Altman, you don't have to be profitable to convey to investors that you'll succeed with or without them."

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service, his commitment to justice, and his belief that every one of us has the power to make a difference, because as he reminded us, “everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.”

I wonder if Vance hopes that this time, unlike 1945, his people win.
When I was in Minneapolis, I heard a number of crazy stories. But near the top of the list:
A couple of off duty ICE and CBP officers were going to dinner in Minneapolis. They were doxed and their location revealed, and the restaurant was then mobbed. The officers were locked in the restaurant, and local police refused to respond to their pleas for help (as they've been directed by local authorities). Eventually, their fellow federal agents came to their aid.
This is just a taste of what's happening in Minneapolis because state and local officials refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement. They have created the chaos so they can have moments like yesterday, where someone tragically dies and politicians get to grandstand about the evils of enforcing the border.
The solution is staring everyone in the face. I hope authorities in Minneapolis stop this madness.
Deceiving fellow Americans – which is what Mr. Cotton is doing here – is a hostile act.
KGB-style "Firehose of Falsehood" in action.
Paul Graham: I can't believe people are so gullible.
Also Paul: "If you're Sam Altman, you don't have to be profitable to convey to investors that you'll succeed with or without them." He can convince people to do anything. Hire this man!
If I ever forget what Dark Money – unleashed by the corrupt SCOTUS (Kennedy, Roberts, Scalia, Alito, Thomas) via Citizens United – did to my country, I will always have RosgvardiyaGOP and SuperPAC Senator Limp "Someone-Should-Do-Something" Bizkithead to remind me.
Fun fact: in 2024, Mr. @CornelWest worked hard to help Mr. Trump get elected by peeling votes away from Harris.
You helped advance the bigger evil, Cornel.
Congrats.
Let us be clear: the murder of sister Renee Good in Prince’s city—Minneapolis—is not an isolated incident. It is one more step toward American-style fascism! #Minneapolis #TruthJusticeLove
