The King County executive just got hired as CEO of Sound Transit with a salary of $450k in an opaque process. He sits on the board of Sound Transit. If you are angry at the cronyism and corruption in the Trump administration remember that this behavior is how it got normalized.

During the 2025 ATIA conference, Peter Tucic showed us the Odyssey, which is a compact text-to-speech reader. Check it out here: Click here to learn more about the Odyssey.
He is symptomatic of the Trump administration—a complete collapse of seriousness, replaced by far-right cosplay and a small-minded, small-man obsession with optics over outcomes.
There is no "adult in the room" anymore.
Just a bunch of incompetent, self-righteous fanatics with nukes.
Pete Hegseth is a frat-boy fascist completely unqualified to be Defense Secretary, leaking classified war plans in group chats while dismantling the military from the inside out.
Extremely impressed with #Suno today. I've had this music in my head for years, it's a bit of an earworm and I find myself humming it at random times. It used to play circa 1985, after the #TVAM startup music on #ITV in the UK. All I have is a crappy mono version from youtube, so I wanted to see whether Suno could give me a reimagined stereo version, and it did so on the very first try. Absolutely love how it handled instrumentation and timing here. I set the two versions up in Logic and crossfaded between each one so you could hear them side-by-side.

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
This object is called Herbig-Haro 49/50. It's the outflow of a still-forming star hidden from view to the lower right of the orangish cone of material oriented diagonally in this image.
As stars form they eject excess matter in the direction of their poles of rotation. That material encounters the interstellar medium in the vicinity and lights up in response. "Like the wake of a speeding boat, the bow shocks in this image have an arc-like appearance as the fast-moving jet from the young star slams into the surrounding dust and gas."
Purely by coincidence, the outflow lines up with a distant background galaxy, which is the circular pinkish/blue object at upper left.
Craving an ice cream sundae with a cherry on top? This random alignment of Herbig-Haro 49/50 — a frothy-looking outflow from a nearby protostar — with a

Observation 4 - Priority road signs do not apply to cyclists

and also my experience is, when I see someone break a traffic rule, it's usually several rules in a row: on my ride to work it's often this set: 1) ignore NoMotorizedVehicles sign from observation 3 2) not giving precedence from observation 4 3) then I meet the car parked on a pedestrian crosssing infront of a school.
The Bloc Québécois and Conservative Party have both said they will participate. The NDP confirmed Monday it will also join, but the party added that it believes the pay-to-debate model sets a bad precedent.
I cannot stress this enough - so many of the people in the Trump WH, including Trump himself would NEVER pass even the most rudimentary background checks. They have access to intel only because the Senate Republicans confirmed their incompetencies. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
