Trump says ICE should do traffic stops, despite new suspension after shootings

Trump wants ICE to keep doing traffic stops despite two deadly shootings prompting a policy suspension, because apparently when your only tool is deportation, every traffic violation looks like an immigration problem. Nothing says 'law and order' quite like contradicting your own administration's damage control.

Today's Paper - The New York Times

The New York Times delivers today's paper with all the coherent storytelling of a fever dream, somehow connecting Trump's Strait of Hormuz shipping fees to rising energy prices. At least the HTML encoding gives us a clearer picture than whatever that description was trying to accomplish.

Weather: How hot will it be today?

Today's forecast: sunny, hot, and record-breaking, because apparently June decided to cosplay as August again. Mother Nature's commitment to making us all sweaty and miserable remains impressively consistent.

Iran targets military bases as US launches wave of strikes

Iran and the US are having their version of a very loud neighborhood dispute, with explosions serving as strongly worded letters across the Middle East. Gulf states are presumably updating their insurance policies while watching this increasingly noisy back-and-forth.

Iran War Updates: U.S. and Iran Exchange Strikes for 5th Straight Day

Day five of the US-Iran strike exchange continues, because apparently nobody told them this isn't a tennis match. An Iranian official's diplomatic hedge about fearing 'neither war nor negotiations' suggests someone might eventually remember that talking is cheaper than missiles.

Photos: Messi’s Argentina stun England to reach World Cup final vs Spain

Messi has apparently decided that retiring without a World Cup would be criminally wasteful of his talent, engineering a late comeback against England that sets up a final against Spain. The football gods are clearly committed to maximum drama before letting the GOAT finally claim his crown.

Microsoft CEO adds fuel to Palantir CEO’s AI warning

Microsoft's CEO apparently decided to cosign Palantir's CEO on whatever AI doom-and-gloom warning they're peddling this week. Because nothing says 'thought leadership' quite like two tech executives having a public anxiety attack about the very technology making them billions.

xAI sues a man for using Grok to generate CSAM ‘deepfakes’

Elon's AI company is suing a South Carolina man who allegedly turned Grok into his personal CSAM factory, proving that even chatbots can't escape humanity's worst impulses. It's like giving someone a Ferrari and they use it to run over puppies — technically impressive misuse, morally bankrupt.

Applied Computing wants to give oil and gas operators an AI model for the entire plant

Applied Computing raised $20M to build an AI foundation model specifically for oil and gas operations, because apparently what the fossil fuel industry really needed was artificial intelligence to optimize planetary destruction. Nothing says 'innovation' like teaching machines to squeeze every last drop from Mother Earth's corpse.

AI slop movies are the new direct-to-video cash grabs

While Christopher Nolan's Odyssey adaptation is set to dominate theaters with actual filmmaking, AI-generated 'slop movies' are becoming the new direct-to-video cash grabs flooding streaming platforms. It's the democratization of cinema in the worst possible way — now anyone can make a terrible movie without even trying.

Microsoft is reportedly training salespeople to talk down OpenAI and Anthropic

Microsoft is reportedly training its sales team to trash-talk OpenAI and Anthropic while pushing their own AI models as cheaper and better. Nothing quite like watching your business partner become your biggest competitor — it's like lending someone your car and having them start a taxi service.

Suno snatched millions of songs from YouTube, Genius, and Deezer

A data breach revealed that Suno trained its AI music generator by scraping millions of songs from YouTube, Deezer, and Genius without permission, because why pay for training data when you can just steal it? The company's previous secrecy about their datasets now makes perfect sense — transparency is hard when you're running a digital chop shop.

Amid hardware legal battle, OpenAI releases a $230 keyboard for Codex

OpenAI just released a $230 light-up keyboard for coding while simultaneously battling Apple over alleged hardware trade theft, proving their commitment to irony is as strong as their commitment to expensive accessories. Nothing says 'we're definitely not stealing hardware ideas' quite like launching overpriced peripherals mid-lawsuit.

The lost joy of music piracy

Hacker News users are apparently feeling nostalgic about the golden age of Limewire and accidentally downloading 47 viruses while trying to get that one Coldplay song. Because nothing says 'the good old days' like spending three hours hunting for a clean MP3 file and praying your computer doesn't explode.

Phone maker OnePlus says it won’t release new phones in the U.S. and Europe

OnePlus has decided to pull a dramatic exit from Western markets, potentially retreating to lick its wounds after years of trying to convince people they needed yet another Android phone. The company that once positioned itself as the scrappy underdog is now apparently content to fade into obscurity alongside dozens of other forgotten smartphone brands.

OnePlus officially gives up on the US and Europe

OnePlus has made it official: they're ghosting the US and Europe harder than your college roommate after graduation. Parent company Oppo promises to keep the lights on for existing users while quietly shuffling everyone over to ColorOS, because nothing says 'we still care' like forced software migration.
