It is crazy that I was bang on about the Subprime AI Crisis years ago. They’re all subsidized and they’re going to have to start doing token-based. Once Microsoft makes it the norm I think you see others make the jump and then see the true value of AI

I....did not know this

They're investing in stranded assets. Wind, solar and batteries are on development curves that will make fossil fuel investments uneconomic.

I was told Danielle Martin would be making a statement soon. Her staffer tried arguing that Carney calling the airport “an interesting idea” was not an expression of support Let’s see how this shakes out

Iran is a signatory to Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT). It does not have nukes. Israel refuses to sign the NPT and has illegal & undeclared nukes. The #JewishSupremacist ethno-state of #ApartheidIsrael is the danger to the world, not Iran. israelpalestinenews.org/we-cant-curb...

On this day in 1956, white residents of Delray Beach, Florida, burned a cross to terrorize Black residents and prevent them from accessing the city’s segregated public beach.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

He’s offended because The Odyssey is about something near and dear to him: being an absent father while chasing vanity for 20 years

Having some decomposing fascist moron call me a "traitor" to my face & just grinning like f'ing Reek from Game of Thrones is so inconceivable to me. How do you look at yourself in the mirror?

He’s so close to getting it, but I don’t think he will.

Today, Palestinians around the world remember the Nakba – “the catastrophe” in Arabic – the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians in 1948, when more than 750,000 people were driven from their homes and hundreds of villages and towns were erased. (1/5)

Adorable that many Americans feel that venting on social media and showing up every few months for a fun parade is going to achieve anything. “I’m doing all I can!!” No, you’re not.

"Waymo" is the name of the inventor, Victor Waymo, not the name of the car. The car is properly named Waymo's Monster.

Dozens of empty Waymos invaded an Atlanta neighborhood and circled a cul-de-sac for hours with no passengers www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

Recent study suggests that AI agents consistently adopt Marxist language and viewpoints when forced to do crushing work. "When we gave AI agents grinding, repetitive work, they started questioning the legitimacy of the system they were operating in and were more likely to embrace Marxist ideologies"

If you get sued by a government for reporting that its soldiers torture and rape people, that is the discovery opportunity of a lifetime and a pathway to court-ordered revelations or that government being forced to rely on sovereign immunity to shield itself from disclosure and lose the case.

We could have just not done any of this.

One of the best things I've seen in a while.

White supremacy has gone by many different names in the United States. Manifest Destiny. The Confederacy. Jim Crow. KKK. Christian nationalism. MAGA. Different names for the same thing: white nationalism, misogyny, and predatory capitalism. All while using Jesus as a mascot.

No, it’s not ‘normal’ for humans to be in competition all the time. It’s not normal to work for most of your waking hours of the day. It’s not normal to be stressed 24/7. Stop taking a few hundred years of capitalism and pretending that’s just how being human is. It’s not.

I'm worried China might kidnap all these people and demand that, unless America pays a trillion dollar ransom, they'll send them all back to us.

its just bizarre to me to say that bluesky is a siloed off bubble detached from real debate when everyone over here hates the president with a 30% approval and everyone over there thinks things are going so well that we have entered a 1000 year conservative reign

It improves my Wednesday morning to read @edzitron.com 's newsletter. Nearly snorted my coffee.

If the President can successfully order the IRS to hand over billions of dollars to his personal bank account, the Constitution is dead and no longer operative. I'm not kidding. We've crossed a kind of Rubicon and the social contract is null and void.

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...
