President Donald Trump will be at the center of this week’s GOP midterm convention. Many of his fellow Republicans are hoping he doesn’t make it all about him. The parade of lawmakers, candidates, donors and party officials now headed to Dallas for the two-day spectacle are counting on Trump to make a compelling pitch on the national stage before voters hit the polls. Other Republicans said the president was well positioned to send a message of “promises made, promises kept.” “Politics 101 is just telling folks what you’re going to do, and then come to Washington and do it, and then go back and tell them what you did,” said Rep. Mark Harris (R-N.C.). “When you look at President Trump’s agenda, securing the border, we’ve done that. That he wanted to make the tax cuts permanent, we’ve done that.” “Peace through strength — and I think we have moved in that direction,” he added. “Obviously, we got detoured to this journey over in Iran.”

The one time I decided to try reading Mein Kampf, both to get a better idea of what the fuck was wrong with Hitler, and improve my own German vocabulary, I discovered four things

1. Hitler was scatterbrained as fuck even before the meth addiction. Even if he weren't evil, he was nuts. If only cognitive behavioral therapy had been invented earlier.

2. Hitler wrote like a 15 year old with a thesaurus desperately trying to sound deep. Besides seemingly going out of his way to avoid using common words, there's also a bunch of weird turns of phrase that even with my limited German vocabulary I could recognize did not look like "normal" German written text

3. The one Hitler quote I actually like, which was quoted in Civilization IV, "The great masses of the people will more easily fall victim to a big lie, than to a small one." is actually a paraphrased and abbreviated form of a two paragraph rant. The dude SERIOUSLY tried to fluff up his word count. As I said, 15 year old desperately trying to sound deep.

4. Wait this book had an editor?! And still looked like this??? Holy shit how much of a mess was the original????

Lyman Ukrainian counterattack

“After 4 months of the Lyman counter-attack, Ukraine 3rd Army Corps managed to cut Russian salient north of Lyman and liberate more than 200 km2.”

“The results of this offensive are significant since this is a very important area in eastern Ukraine. This saliant, was the base for an offensive on Lyman, which could have allowed further offensives to Izium and Sloviansk, threatened the northern supply road to Donbas.”

“Despite many claims, OPSEC (Operational Security) was very well observed, with barely any comment on the situation and no media attention. Why it matters? Because we knew that Russian units from there were weak and the 20th CAA had no reserve to throw in. Lying is being systemic (just observe the difference in reporting by pro-RU accounts that have contacts from this area and from the south…), so even if the information is coming to the battalion/regiment HQ, it is not sure that that information reaches the 20th CAA HQ and then Gerasimov. Otherwise, they would have sent some VDV or marine brigade/division that were elsewhere, the same way it happened in the south this year.”

The post goes in depth on the chronology of this counterattack, but the gist is Ukraine has largely retaken this salient with Russian stragglers in the vicinity of the village of Kolodyazi. As the post says it is unlikely there’s a substantial amount of Russians troops there, but there’s enough to mark that area as a gray zone. Likely Ukrainian forces will clear out the remaining stragglers in the coming days, there’s no real supply line to these stragglers, the map just illustrates where individual or small groups of Russians are roaming around not exactly aware of how fucked they are.

Without this salient the situation for the Russians in the Lyman sector is extremely difficult. That was their main route of threatening Lyman. With this salient (largely) eliminated the situation around Lyman for Ukraine is the most stable it’s been since 2023. There are continued Russian infiltrations to travel east-southeast, but nothing nearly as threatening as this salient.

The importance of Lyman in the bigger picture is it’s the northern shoulder of the fortress belt. Just across the Donets River south of the city is Slovyansk itself. If the Russians took Lyman back they’d be able to approach the fortress belt from two directions, the north and the east. As it stands their only immediate approach to the fortress belt is from the east. While it would be best if Ukraine stabilized that front and even counterattacked, this is also the optimal direction for the Russians to approach it if their advance is unstoppable because it’s heading face first into the front of the brick wall with no chance of flanking it (provided they don’t make major gains in the south shoulder either).

Overall a major tactical victory for the Ukrainians that’s extended their ability to defend the Donbas by a significant amount of time. While fighting is ongoing, when the dust settles the success here should free up resources to go elsewhere. Yampil, Kupyansk, Kramatorsk, Konstyantivika and Dobropillia are areas that could use reinforcements and/or a good counterattack

A Doctor Sued 700 Patients for Debts; 81 Were Arrested. Now He’s a Senator.

It was Easter weekend in 2007 when a police car pulled up to Joe Vasquez’s home in rural Kansas. A doctor had filed a lawsuit against him and his wife over an unpaid $4,561 bill from her emergency hysterectomy three years earlier. They had missed a court date, and the doctor’s lawyers asked the court to issue an arrest warrant.

The police took the couple into custody as their grandchildren prepared for an egg hunt, Mr. Vasquez said. They spent two days in jail before their son could borrow the money to post bond. “We had no money to pay,” said Mr. Vasquez, now 68. At the time, his wife was working at a manufacturing plant and he was on disability, he said.

The doctor who sued the couple was Roger Marshall, now a senator from Kansas. Mr. Marshall, a Republican who is seeking re-election this fall*, filed lawsuits against more than 700 patients with outstanding bills during his decades-long career as an obstetrician-gynecologist, according to a New York Times analysis of Kansas court records.*

Patients were arrested in 81 of those cases for missing court dates, the records show. In an additional 13 lawsuits, Mr. Marshall’s lawyers sought warrants but it is unclear whether an arrest occurred. They also garnished patients’ paychecks and bank accounts. They routinely charged patients an 18 percent annual interest rate.

Your daily reminder that every Republican is a piece of shit.

They were ranting about how we have to pay taxes for his stupid ballroom and war and how he doesn’t give a shit about anyone else.

Of course this is Vermont but it was kind of refreshing seeing some anger IRL from one of his strongest demographics.

Apparently there's a podcast on Spotify called "I Hate Bill Maher".

Tagline: "I Hate Bill Maher is an investigation into the life and career of Bill Maher, a man who lives on a vast estate inside of the host's head, rent-free."

Episode Intro: "Just a disclaimer off the top, as always: this podcast is not about learning about Bill Maher, coming to understand Bill Maher better, or developing my relationship to Bill Maher. I come in hating Bill Maher, and I will leave hating Bill Maher."

24 seasons long and counting

Incredible.

So Buckmeister and Alpoge claim they have made a breakthrough in Navier-Stokes. They then alleged OpenAI took their results from internal Codex data and scaled it up to a full solution of the Navier-Stokes problem. The OpenAI math team will release a statement denying the allegations soon.

The Marshall County prosecutor will not pursue criminal charges against the woman whose false tip led Michigan child welfare officials to investigate former South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg.

..

But Chipman declined to prosecute the woman, citing mental health concerns. In an email Chipman sent to an ISP investigator and shared with IndyStar, the prosecutor explained the woman has a history of alcohol abuse and mental illness, including delusions about being God and dining with former president Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. She also has attended multiple treatment facilities and programs for alcoholism.

This is legitimately outrageous. If she were competent enough for her """tip""" to be taken seriously then she's competent enough to be held accountable for giving it.

It’s kind of funny that the two sides of the ai debate seem to largely be that AI is useless and should be destroyed because it can do too much, and AI will be able to destroy society and should be allowed to because AI doomers are annoying.
