OpenAI’s financials have leaked, showing $21 billion in losses against $13 billion in revenue, per Fortune

Today I learned that in addition to wanting to buy Greenland, Trump wanted to sell or give away Puerto Rico (via the @NewYorker)

"Two of the six sermons are previously undiscovered writings by Augustine," says Professor Tornau, delighted with the unexpected find. He is currently working with Professor Dorothea Weber and Dr Clemens Weidmann from the edition company CSEL (Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum) on an edition of the two Latin sermons." uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and…

"When relief is not dictated by the record and law but merely advocated for personal, political, ideological, policy, or other non-legal reasons, a prosecutor’s concession does not minister justice; it facilitates injustic." The PA Supreme Court bat signals @DaveSunday_

Alexandria wants to use $135 MILLION in public financing to help a handful of institutional developers turn an old waterplant into another megaproject They could use public capital to build shared infrastructure and then subdivide the 19-acre site into MANY SMALL PARCELS and allow MANY different developers to build a fine-grained neighborhood (like right) Fund the remediation, streets, utilities, flood protection, parks, and waterfront public spaces publicly. Then create fine-grained blocks that can be built parcel by parcel by multiple developers, architects, and owners. With a great code, you can even facilitate the development of courtyard blocks that will allow middle-income families to live in the neighborhood as well as smaller households. Small parcels lower the barrier to entry for local and midsized developers. They allow buildings to evolve independently, create more architectural variety, support smaller commercial spaces, and distribute development risk across many actors. They also look better

I legitimately do not understand how Starmer survives the publication of this report. It appears thousands and thousands of people in power not only looked the other way, but facilitated this. Do not read the image if you do not want to be sad and enraged.

Having attended our inquiry hearings, spoken with so many survivors, read our report? I have never been more convinced that the very worst rape gang offenders should not be deported. A Restore British Government, with the British people’s approval, will put them to death.

The 19th amendment was ratified by an all male electorate, thus, as a misogynist, one must assent to its wisdom

SCOOP: California is pressuring public utilities to award $633 million in special contracts to "LGBT-owned" firms. To qualify, residents must go through the state's official gay-certification program—and face up to a year in jail if they're not gay enough. city-journal.org/article/cal…

Exclusive from @oliver_wright Dartmoor ponies could be subject to mass culling to reduce the impact on biodiversity after a controversial ruling by the government’s environmental quango Natural England has demanded that all livestock grazing on the moor is reduced by about 75 per cent to protect other habitats, plants and species The move looks set to result in the culling of up to nine in ten of the semi-wild ponies as farmers prioritise their own cattle and sheep to remain within Natural England’s limit to minimise the impact on their own livelihoods Natural England argued that the move was necessary to protect the diversity of Dartmoor, which is a designated site of special scientific interest However, the plan goes against a government commissioned review into the future of Dartmoor, published two years ago, which concluded that Natural England “should not take actions likely to result in a reduction in pony numbers”, adding they were “invaluable for conservation grazing” The move has led to claims that the quango is acting as judge, jury and executioner of the ponies — a species which is itself seen as endangered Dartmoor ponies could be put to death under biodiversity plans thetimes.com/article/ba529f3…

A Russian frigate reportedly opened fire with warning shots on a British yacht in the English Channel.

SBF’s sleepless prison nights just got worse... In 2022, Alameda (FTX) dropped $200k into Cursor pre-seed → ~5% stake at a ~$4M valuation. FTX bankruptcy sold the entire position back at cost. Today, that 5% would be worth $3B - a 15,000x return.

Have you considered not putting stuff in a professional email that could be life ruining?

A modest proposal: Congress should enact a version of New York's CPLR 5601(a). If a certain number of judges on a Circuit Court dissent, there is an appeal as of right to SCOTUS.
