I l u npr but gtfo of here with this question

While AI is all over the stages at Davos, Trump is dominating the side conversations.

does anyone know what's on Trump's autocue typically? bullet points? not whole speech I assume

This is incredible

“Emergency workers found Renee Good with an irregular pulse after they removed her from her vehicle, and shortly after, she had no pulse, according to an incident report from the Minneapolis Fire Department.”

BREAKING: Hundreds of sensitive U.S. records obtained by WIRED undercut the Trump administration’s claims portraying Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua as a unified terrorist force invading the country. Intelligence agencies spent much of 2025 unsure TdA even functioned as an organization on U.S. soil.

This is the Ted Cruz-iest Ted Cruzing paragraph I think I’ve ever read (Via www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...)

I wrote about hyper scale AI data centers for our annual list of 10 Breakthrough Technologies, why they are so amazing, and why everyone hates them www.technologyreview.com/2026/01/14/1...

Think you have to retire the phrase “immigration crackdown” when every major violent spectacle — at least those the news is choosing to highlight — involve US citizens screaming “Check my ID!”

Hopefully if we continue to fervently beat on it, this dead horse is going to get up and ride again. sfstandard.com/2026/01/12/r...

In the early days of the pandemic my older kid got into the Grateful Dead. In 2021 we went to see Dead & Co. at the Hollywood Bowl. I have so many good memories of Dead shows dating back to when I was a teenager, but that was maybe my favorite. I loved getting to share that with my kid. RIP Bob Weir

In the video in the post, you can see that the officer can clearly get out of the way of the vehicle, at first doesn't, pulls his firearm and continues to shoot as the driver has already driven past him. bsky.app/profile/bnon...

NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed

Important news out of the Midwest from @ceodonovan.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

every part of this video needs to be saved on a radiation-proof thumb drive for future civilizations to study the end-stage humanity experiment

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

It’s @antonioregalado.bsky.social’s annual Worst Tech of the year list. Cornucopia of options in 2025. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/18/1...

Spotify, wtf have you done?

2025 was the year AI reached peak hype. (I mean, one hopes!). We have a fantastic series looking at the froth, anchored by this gem from @willdouglasheaven.bsky.social www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/15/1...

Our ex-BuzzFeed team has provided a testimonial to the immigration court about the value of Guan's work and his incredible bravery. I hope that this man - who I am in absolute awe of - is granted the asylum he needs and deserves. You can read more here: hrichina.substack.com/p/man-who-fi...

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites. He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him. www.wsj.com/world/china/...

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

I am preparing MIT Technology Review's infamous list of "worst" technologies of the year. What are 2025's biggest failures, set backs, and misfires but which also hold useful lessons about technology? I think Cybertruck has to be on the list. Tell me your picks in the replies👇!!

What???? No.

TR's #EmTech 2025 conference getting underway at the @medialab.bsky.social, with @mathonan.com taking the stage.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Well this is ridiculous www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

Please listen to @mathonan.com be smart and charming

Thank you, @missionlocal.org missionlocal.org/2025/10/sf-h...

Today @technologyreview.com has a new series filled with doom and (perhaps surprisingly) fun about *~conspiracies~* and how we survive this wild moment. Read about AGI, weather control, Mandela effects, whale necropsies & some fascinating conspiracy history: www.technologyreview.com/supertopic/t...

Tucked into this incredible story from @willdouglasheaven.bsky.social arguing that AGI is, effectively, a conspiracy theory is a fantastic short history on the idea of AGI itself www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/30/1...

Everything is a conspiracy now www.technologyreview.com/supertopic/t...

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Business Insider wrote up a story on how some of their past investigative work led to a new California law. The story is strangely unbylined. The reason perhaps? The publication recently laid off the reporter behind that investigation, Matt Drange. www.businessinsider.com/california-e...

Folks in or around the Boston area, I'm pleased to be speaking at Lesley University Thursday October 23 as part of their Thought Leadership series! Talking comics & thinking as I do! Open to the public - registration link coming soon! lesley.edu/about-lesley...

I spent a good amount of time in section 8 housing when I was a kid. These rules would have resulted in me being a homeless child.

Pitches for @technologyreview.com's Crime issue are due Friday!

I’m launching Sources, a new publication about the tech industry’s inside conversation, and Access, a tech interview podcast with my friend @hamburger.bsky.social. The first issue of Sources drops tomorrow, featuring an interview with Mark Zuckerberg, which airs in full on Access this Thursday.

1. I am so excited about @coyotemedia.org! 2. I really really miss alt weeklies! I had a story in one of the SFBG issues pictured here (the April 4 2000 issue; I wrote the April Fool’s story!) 3 yes: “ I don’t want Burning Man art littering Golden Gate Park. We can do better”

❤️🔥 HOT OFF THE PRESSES! 🔥❤️ COYOTE Media Collective is live!! We’re so incredibly proud of this smart, fierce, unapologetic Bay Area media project. Dive in, see what we’ve been building, read our stories, and join the pack! coyotemedia.org

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

Breaking news consumer's handbook

The guns are the problem. Whether it’s high school students or Charlie Kirk or anyone else getting shot, this country has to crack down on guns and pass actual gun control laws to protect everyone’s safety.
