Joseph R. Goodwin, United States District Court judge. 2/19/26

I'm most certainly not one to suggest the suppression of free speech, but I'm almost certainly not one to suggest that organizations shouldn't respond to gravely offensive speech. At first I thought there was no way this account was from an official univ. group, but this post actually is from (1/)

When Trump introduced the tariffs last April, hedge funds and specialist investment firms began to bet on the possibility that the courts might rule that he had violated the law. They did that by purchasing the right to theoretical tariff refunds at cents on the dollar from struggling importers.

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

I can’t stop thinking about how the HHS Secretary of the United States of America went on the news and bragged about doing coke off toilet seats and do y’all remember when Bill Clinton had to pretend like he never inhaled weed because it was a massive nationwide scandal? Wtf are we even doing here

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

No one saw this coming. Literally no one /s techcrunch.com/2026/02/18/m...

I don't hate technology. I don't like scams, fraudsters, grifters, the harm to the environment, the gross and unethical behavior, the privacy violations, humans losing their jobs so sleazebag billionaires get even richer. And that's basically all what Big Tech and especially AI is now.

"Is there a technology that the left is excited about???"

“In San Francisco the world automatically assumes that instead of wanting food or drinks or a new phone or car, what you want is some kind of arcane B2B service for your startup. You are not a passive consumer. You are making something.” —Sam Kriss

"iS tHeRe a tEcHnoLoGY tHe leFt Is eXcItEd aBoUt" yeah, renewable energy, mRNA vaccines. Lots of cool stuff like that! Probably not the one whose main promise was cutting payrolls

This is good harpers.org/archive/2026... "Roy stormed downstairs to the product floor. “Cluely’s not working!” he said. This was followed by roughly fifteen minutes of panicked tinkering..."

And remember this: systems built on distributed power do not surrender easily. They absorb. They resist. And eventually… They prevail. In other words, bring it the f*ck on. America isn’t letting this happen on our watch.

That we would end up following the fate of Athens and Rome was the single most obsessive fear of America's founders.

Many consumer electronics manufacturers 'will go bankrupt or exit product lines' by the end of 2026 due to the AI memory crisis. www.pcgamer.com/hardware/mem...

This is completely correct other than the infrastructure not existing. I think people need to realize WHY this is happening is because, for example, NVIDIA sells GB200 NVL72s (racks of 72 GPUs) with *17TB of RAM* and likely over 500TB of storage.

Now everyone has a theory. Representative Ro Khanna says the DOJ is muddying the waters. Representative Nancy Mace says names are missing. Victims’ advocates are furious about inconsistent redactions.

But Bill tried soooooooooooo hard!

Donald Trump is not some misunderstood populist hero who accidentally wandered into authoritarianism. He is a lifelong grifter who discovered that fear sells faster than condos.

Yeah, this is serial killer type shit.

Fascism’s ultimate goal is to roll back all progress and recreate a state where a select few control everything, including our reality. What you’re feeling living under this criminal regime is a preview of what kind of world they want us to live in. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/they-want-...

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "The Greenlandic people have never felt threatened. The first time they felt unsafe for real is when an ally talked about acquiring them, buying them. It's outrageous."

"Oh you don’t want women, certain races, etc to have freedom and autonomy? Cool, feel free to traumatize your family and have them distance themselves from you. Oh, you want to impose it on the rest of us that don’t agree with you?"

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

🔥 REP. @aoc.bsky.social IN MUNICH: “Extreme levels of inequality lead to a sense of instability and drive the ascent of authoritarianism… we have to have a working class-centered politics if we’re going to succeed and stave off the scourge of authoritarianism.”

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Voting against someone because they don’t fit your ideal version of a candidate in hopes of the country suffering enough to produce the perfect candidate is just like trickle down economics, history proves it doesn’t work… nobody is perfect and incremental progress gets taken away under republicans

The Nihilist Left is exhausting af Like, I'm sorry you're mad that a political spectrum exists Inconceivable, I know

Things I hear on campus as we continue to adapt to AI. Plenty try to incorporate it. Others: - med school faculty going back to oral exams - comp sci faculty building no-network linux systems with IT for exams in programming courses

I speak in charts.

I’ll miss working with all the brilliant folks at @postsports.bsky.social: we published bangers, reached millions of readers, made a real impact. Jeff Bezos killed the world’s best sports section. Here are some stories I’m proud of:

This is metastasizing faster than the Republicans can come up with a semi-lucid response. It's moving even faster in Europe.

Our farmers keep our families fed and economy running here in Wisconsin. President Trump and Republicans must stop turning their backs on our farmers and agricultural industries. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

So how do all my fellow Reluctant/Legacy Windows Users like the new Win11 "drag tray" feature? 🫠 My God Microsoft Sales is TRYING to kill the (seemingly unkillable) customer/install base Where have all the engineers and creatives gone in MSFT??? 😢

why we stop making computers look fresh

A calculator that’s also a lighter, AND an alarm clock!? You can’t get more convenient than the Casio QL-10, at least in 1981 when it was released! Nowadays we have calculators and alarm clocks on our phones, bring back the lighters! 🔥📱😅

That Coinbase Superbowl ad is the most desperate thing I've ever seen a company do. Absolute edge-of-collapse behavior.

(likely front-runner in the Wisconsin Dem House CD 1 primary to run against MAGA incumbent Bryan Steil) A reminder to everyone that during the Trump/Vance 2024 campaign Steil vowed to investigate ActBlue donors 😑 (MAGA needs a ballotbox 🗳️ walloping into irrelevance): www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=c6...

It's basically: "social injustice and idolatry" ...'all the way down' 😑
