21ST CENTURY HEADLINES: Bristol Myers buys Nvidia’s latest AI computing system for drug research.
The drugmaker said it will be the first life sciences company to buy an Nvidia DGX SuperPOD based on its Vera Rubin systems. The chipmaker unveiled its Vera Rubin architecture earlier this year as the successor to its current generation of AI computing systems.
Financial terms of the Bristol Myers investment were not disclosed. It builds on a smaller SuperPOD system the drugmaker bought from Nvidia, which is around two or three generations behind Vera Rubin, BMS executives said in an interview.
Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly investing in AI infrastructure to try to identify drug targets faster and improve the odds that experimental drugs succeed in clinical trials.
We sure could use some new antibiotics in a hurry.
CONTRADICTIONS OF SOCIALIST PRISON ABOLITIONISM: Many “democratic socialists” want to abolish prisons. But this is in conflict with their objective of making many more activities illegal.

WHERE’S OUR MONEY: Open the Books says at least $400 billion in COVID Pandemic relief funds has been stolen by fraudsters, but the federal government has recovered less than 1 percent of it. The actual total lost to fraud in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and other Pandemic relief programs is almost certainly much higher than $400 billion.

More:
A federal appeals court just said the administration needs time to implement serialized barcodes and voter-list submissions for mail-in ballots. Not mass purges. Not voter ID theater. Simple chain-of-custody tools so the Postal Service can track what it carries.
And the reaction? Full institutional meltdown.
The NAACP is in open panic. California is fighting tooth and nail against submitting its rolls. The same people who spent years lecturing the country about “sacred democracy” are treating a barcode on an envelope like a constitutional crisis.
This is the tell.
Indeed.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: SpaceX targets July 23 for crucial Starship Flight 13 test launch after abort.
If all goes to plan, the 408-foot-tall (124.4 meters) Starship will lift off from SpaceX’s Starbase site in South Texas on Thursday during a 90-minute window that opens at 6:45 p.m. EDT (2245 GMT; 5:45 p.m. local Texas time). You can watch the action live here at Space.com, courtesy of SpaceX.
It will be the second launch attempt for Starship Flight 13. The first came last Thursday (July 16) and ended in an abort, which occurred just as the giant rocket’s 33 first-stage Raptor engines were firing up.
Better luck with this one, fellas.

ESCHEW ALL MODALITIES OF COCKSUREDNESS: Morning Joe warns Democrats are doomed to more election failure in 2028 as party continues to embrace ‘extraordinarily loony ideas.’
MS NOW host Joe Scarborough devoted a sizable chunk of Monday’s Morning Joe to warning about the rise of Democratic Socialism within the Democratic Party.
Scarborough, 63, said the party was at risk of alienating voters if the support continues into the next Democratic presidential race.
‘I mean, there have been some extraordinarily loony ideas coming from some of these people that have actually won races and are going to be seated in Congress, most likely,’ the former Florida Republican said.
‘Like, you know, getting rid of prisons, getting rid of cops.’
Scarborough said such policies ‘didn’t work well for Democrats before’ and ‘didn’t work well for American cities, either.’
He warned that years of success seen since were at risk of becoming undone.
‘America is getting safer again, in good part because both parties have come to the conclusion that police officers are a good thing,’ the host proclaimed.
‘Police officers make communities safer, make our children safer, make our schools safer.’
Scarborough admitted that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) organization was just ‘one extreme’ of a political spectrum that’s widened on both ends.
‘I guess my question is why the Democratic Party is so ill equipped to deal with those extremes, brush them off, and instead focus on candidates that are mainstream who are going to end up winning most of these primaries.’
Flashback to a pre-Covid February 2020: Why is Anyone Surprised That Chris Matthews Went All Nazi Comparison About Bernie?
Matthews came on after Democratic strategist James Carville went on a diatribe against Sanders, and as the MSNBC host made reference to that, he invoked the historical episode when the Germans overran the Maginot Line and forced France to surrender in the middle of World War II.
“It looks like Bernie Sanders is hard to beat right now,” Matthews said. “I’m with Carville all the way in terms of the dangers of what lies ahead in November. They’re sitting on so much oppo research on Bernie.”
A week later, Matthews was caught in a putsch, err, pushed out of MSNBC near the end of #MeToo’s reign of terror, but as Glenn wrote at the time, “In 2020, He’s Not Crazy Enough for Them…It’s really because he dissed Bernie. The rest is just window dressing.”
And speaking of crazy!

TATE BROTHERS ARRESTED IN US AS FURTHER UK CHARGES TAKE TOTAL TO 59:
