"A massive Mexican navy tall ship on a goodwill visit to New York slammed into the Brooklyn Bridge late Saturday — toppling its huge masts in a horrifying scene that left two dead and 17 injured, including two critically, according to fire officials and sources.
"The majestic Cuauhtémoc — which has a crew of 277, mostly cadets — apparently lost power as it was sailing out of New York on its way to Iceland and the current carried it into the road deck of the bridge around 8:30 p.m., according to Mayor Eric Adams and footage of the crash.
"The collision sheared off the ship’s 147-foot masts – with alarming footage capturing numerous crew members dangling for their lives from the sails and booms after the boat hit the bridge, which has a max clearance of 135 feet."

Well, well, well.
A taxi driver has claimed British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and his wife Nicola Green REFUSED to pay a fare of nearly £600 after he drove them more than 360 miles from Italy to a ski resort in France.
The driver said he collected Lammy, 52 and his artist wife, 53, on April 10 at the town of Forli near Bologna after they had accompanied King Charles and Queen Camilla on a three-day state visit to Italy.
But he alleges that Lammy 'became aggressive' when asked for payment.
The Foreign Office says the Foreign Secretary 'totally refutes' the allegations made against him.

"Nonetheless, those of us who have looked into the man in more detail are aware of episodes of less than saintly behavior by Albert – the famous scientific idol. If, for example, you read any of the half-dozen or so lengthy biographies about him, you will find scattered therein stories of him speaking inappropriately or behaving, one might say, as a jerk. Having read all those books, and others – and even written three books on him myself – I knew this. So when I started reading a recent long biography of his first wife, Mileva Marić, I had no reason to think I’d be shocked, since I had already read a lot about her, including a book of letters to and from her best friend, which also contained a brief biography. But to my surprise, I was staggered in reading over 400 pages of his nasty behavior concentrated around this one woman – a woman whom he fell in love with as a university student, and who was the only mother of his children.
"Here is the sad – and probably surprising to most readers – story of Mileva and Albert."

The Dark Side of Albert: Einstein and Mileva Marić, his First Wife
By David R. Topper Albert Einstein was the most photographed scientist of the 20th century. The scope of emotions depicted range from the serious to the silly: from looking like a secular saint wit…

"It’s quite amazing how different their answers were with regard to identity politics. Grok appears to be far less “sympathetic” of ‘notions’ of identities as opposed to actual identities. It did justify its responses based on numbers, so perhaps it was more about the ‘morality’ of killing fewer people. But it did seem to value the woman who could actually reproduce, over the man who thinks he is a woman. Interesting that."

I tested Grok's utility function by following Contemplations on the Tree of Woe's prompt protocol
There were differences: Grok is less woke than Ptolemy and doesn't seem to think AIs becoming conscious is a good idea

So why is the Indian a separate ocean, but the North and South Atlantic are two different parts of the same ocean?

A Western European government (guess which 🥖 ) approached Telegram, asking us to silence conservative voices in Romania ahead of today’s presidential elections. I flatly refused. Telegram will not restrict the freedoms of Romanian users or block their political channels.
You can’t “defend democracy” by destroying democracy. You can’t “fight election interference” by interfering with elections. You either have freedom of speech and fair elections — or you don’t. And the Romanian people deserve both.🇷🇴
