Edward Luce in the Financial Times about Musk:

humans have known how to construct a shoulder seam for thousands of years, but with AI, we are unlocking untold new ways to fuck it up

Sometimes I fear that Silicon Valley’s big takeaway from Theranos was “hey, we don’t even have to invent something real to get rich.”

So 86 doesn’t mean murder?

This is my teenager.

We need more rich people with normal interests like "your movie sounds neat" instead of, like, white fertility rates.

Trump has gone to great lengths to surround himself and elevate only people who will refuse to challenge him on this obvious nonsense. Part of his anger here is probably that he hears this so infrequently.

It's super that every country in the world now has their own specific Trump-related reason to hate the USA.

They’re down to 30 minutes.

Those long em dashes scream ChatGPT wrote this and I presume will soon will soon be writing 60 minutes.

if you are "using AI for writing," you are not writing. i do not know how to make this any simpler

What a coincidence! I just interviewed this Fisher Price Farmer Says See 'n' Say, and it told me some incredibly interesting things about farm life. Let me know when you'd like to publish this!

Felt good to hear the crowd at the Mass Dems convention roar in support of trans kids. Civil rights aren’t negotiable.

The caucus members who stay will tell us exactly who they are.

New dystopia just dropped

We moved spaceflight into the private sector and suddenly all the rockets are like 30% more explosive. Kinda seems like punting to the private sector isn't a fiscal cure-all.

Anyone surprised by this should stand on their head. Hegseth's Christian nationalism has no room for women in leadership roles.

American politics is bananas. I can’t believe there is a whole generation growing up to think that it’s normal for known criminals to win party nominations and public office.

That this wasn’t MAGA enough in Texas. These people are the worst.

I continue to be amazed by the new ways this administration finds to threaten the whole nation's economic survival, simply in order to be seen as sufficiently cruel to a given group of people

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Congratulations to Trump for turning a managed nuclear problem into a glow-in-the-dark sequel.

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

I really think Russ Vought and his ilk read The Handmaid’s Tale as aspirational.

American 250: rededicating to racism and misogyny.

Today’s America - and the targeting of trans people - is horrific.

It would be hard to find a President more stupid and blatantly racist.

I have a very boring opinion that social media had a good era, that good era is no longer now, and that opinion also makes me a grumpy middle-aged person that you shouldn't listen to about this sort of thing.

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

Republicans are so focused on hurting other people, they never think to help any.
