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.

Pete Hegseth is unfit.

He is dangerous.

He is reckless.

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.

This Man is a Buffoon

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.

One of the many things consumer messaging apps lack is enterprise-grade identity and access management.

Without that it’s super easy to accidentally invite the wrong people...

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

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.

New JWST image just dropped.

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.

More info about the image: science.nasa.gov/missions/webb…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope observed Herbig-Haro 49/50, an outflow from a nearby still-forming star, in high-resolution near- and mid-infrared light. The intricate features of the outflow, represented in reddish-orange color, provide detailed clues about how young stars form and how their jet activity affects the environment around them. 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. A chance alignment in this direction of the sky provides a beautiful juxtaposition of this nearby Herbig-Haro object with a more distant spiral galaxy in the background. Herbig-Haro 49/50 gives researchers insights into the early phases of the formation of low-mass stars similar to our own Sun. In this Webb image, blue represents light at 2.0-microns (F200W), cyan represents light at 3.3-microns (F335M), green is 4.4-microns (F444W), orange is 4.7-microns (F470N), and red is 7.7-microns (F770W).

Trump Officials Accidentally Add Atlantic Editor to Signal Chat About War Plans

Pro tip: When adding somebody to the group chat about classified information that itself violates government rules, double-check that Jeffrey Goldberg isn't on the thread.

Well. This is a ride.

I feel very safe with these security geniuses running our country and waging war.

theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

After receiving the Waltz text related to the “Houthi PC small group,” I consulted a number of colleagues. We discussed the possibility that these texts were part of a disinformation campaign, initiated by cither a forcign intelligence service or, more likely, a media-gadfly organization, the sort of group that attempts to place journalists in embarrassing positions, and sometimes succeeds. I had very strong doubts that this text group was real, because I could not believe that the national-security leadership of the United States would communicate on Signal about imminent war plans. I also could not believe that the national security adviser to the president would be so reckless as to include the editor in chicf of 7he Arlantic in such discussions with senior U.S. officials, up to and including the vice president.

This New Open-Source Alternative to Google Docs and Notion Is Backed by France and Germany

Docs is an web-based collaborative text editor that is the result of a joint effort led by the French 🇫🇷🥖 (DINUM) and German 🇩🇪🥨 governments (ZenDiS).

It's a good alternative to popular services like Notion, Google Docs and Outline.

The platform offers real-time collaboration capabilities, a sleek minimalist interface, and all the essential features you could possibly need.

Best of all, Docs is open-source on GitHub and can be self-hosted, making it a viable option for local agencies and companies.

You can test Docs on your browser by visiting this page:
