Now that there is actual uncertainty in the world economy, gold, a physical asset with real economic value, one that works offline and offchain, is outperforming "digital gold". Oh, and all the devs are chasing AI, which is eating all the inputs to a stable blockchain (compute, datacenters, pwr)

The failure of traditional advertisers to hold their advertising platforms responsible for malicious, phishing, and other malvertising is the primary reason why online advertising is so pervasively blocked. Nearly a third of meta ads are scams. Who cares as long as you are paid, amirite?!

If state & local jurisdictions aren't opening their own parallel investigations/charges against federal officials that discharge their service weapon at unarmed civilians, then every strongly worded statement is just thoughts and prayers. Trusting the offending agencies to self police is 🤦

If you have an instapot (or real pressure canner) and you aren't saving bones from dinner scraps to turn into bone broth, what are you even doing? Collect in freezer bag until you have enough to run a batch. Toss in vegetable peelings/scraps, onion, garlic, etc.

Remember, other countries will be investing 16% of the worlds GDP into the US. That is over 51K PER person. Totally real numbers. Numbers no one has seen before.

Executives that think they can/will run their companies primarily on AI or AI empowered robots should try running their company solely based on a tarot card reader first.

Your tesla was supposed to be a passive income instrument and financially insane to own anything else. Now, forget that and believe the same lie about a robot.

Really cool to see the Nest Gen 1 & 2 liberated however I take issue with many calling this "open source". The firmware is not open, no patch history for the binary files, and the API is hosted by a third party with no option to self host. Hopefully this is changes. 9to5google.com/2025/11/03/g...

Scoop: I have learned this admins SOP 1. Double Click US Government folder 2. Ctrl + A 3. Shift + Delete

Its amazing how in denial people are about the dangers of this situation. "Oh that will never happen, courts won't stand for it" ... then it does Next bad thing threatened ... "oh that will never happen"

Seems like a false flag operation. www.influencewatch.org/organization...

Hot take: The Christian faith doesn't exist. Rather its the Pauline Judaic faith

Taxpayers are prefunding SpaceX to develop the human landing system which is years behind schedule but SpaceX has 2+ billion to invest into xAI. Seems similar to your contractor taking your down payment & hitting up the casino while your construction project keeps falling behind schedule.

I remember when conservative minded folks were concerned about surveillance and privacy. Now, license plate readers, local/state/fed access to private cams, data breaches, reselling of user data, private data being fed to AI... all gets a collective shrug.

How many months away before ads are being injected into AI responses? "Hi, am Clippy, your AI assistant. I don't think you really want a recipe for that homemade meal, how about I order you some tallow fries instead?" "I know you want a SQLite func but wrote you one for free trial of FartCloud"

Same. So much.

Private contractors like Management and Training Corporation get $165 per day per detained individual. Not only 1 less person in the labor force but Steven Camarota from the anti immigration CIS, produced a report that showed that "illegal" immigrants end up costing us taxpayers about $2.48/day.

When is the US getting annexed?

Has anyone considered that the administration's push for 14 year olds to be tried as adults is pretext for justifying a change to the age of consent?

The media: "Abrego Garcia who?? Never heard of him"

Its 2025 and email clients are STILL not smart enough to understand that if you Reply to an email thread that you yourself most recently replied to, you don't want to send an email to yourself but rather send a follow up email to the same recipient(s) as the prior message.

Make cursing great again!

I love raw milk but I have also milked cows. Have you? Their udders are covered in shit, and not the fresh kind, but the kind that has been stewing in a puddle or even a pond for months.

TL;DR: TX Situation TX GOP drew congressional maps in 2021 for next 10 yrs 2025: 4 yrs later, TX GOP doesn't like their own maps anymore Strangely, why is no one asking why politicians are able to pick who gets to elect them? Shouldn't this be an independent non partisan body with specific rules?

Interviewing "AI" isn't journalism. Its cosplay and will be respected as such.

Remember not wanting to arm ukraine because it might provoke RU. Now we still don't arm them but publicly announce sending nukes to RU's doorstep.

Taco Thursday!

Remember when VR was going to change the way we worked forever? Remember smart assistants? Remember smart glasses? NFTs anyone?

Starship is supposedly rapidly re-usable thanks to the chopsticks. You know what else was supposedly rapidly reusable that landed on wheels.... except refurbishment took several months. Given that 9 launches ($1B) later its still not usable, never mind re-usable, I really wonder about viability.

Every social media site should have the gmail delayed send feature but you have to confirm a "are you sure" some time later. Not enough people are thinking "I know I can reply but should I?"

Financial Markets: TACO...

Past couple decades we have be talking about the increased militarization of the police. Now, we bypassed the police, and it's just straight up the military.

When should expect the bill to bring back typewriters and telegrams since it seems we want to ban most modern innovations in energy, transport, and medicine.

Capitalism is derived from the human economics of self interest and is expressed as individual ambition. This self interest often initially starts as constructive, unchecked pursuit of personal gain naturally transforms into destructive greed.

If I were to torrent a movie, I would be treated like a criminal. AI companies torrent ALL the movies, books, media.... fair use/transformative.

Religion is the OG politics Separation of church & state is a Utopian goal, one that focuses on the common denominator of a value system. One that requires constant effort to maintain like an ancient manuscript. Politics is policy & policy is driven by a world view & moral set: same as religion

Trust in AI they say. AI is truthful, its trained on everything. It will make mistakes but they will be innocent mistakes. Enter Elon, whom everyone else ends up copying, here to put his thumb in the pudding. bsky.app/profile/mile...

Do you find joy in things, I find it nearly impossible to do so. The small moments when I feel it, it gets wrecked by something even IRL. There is no buffer anymore to absorb these small bumps

When do the ardent 2A folks hoarding multiple lifetimes of ammo just admit they are cosplaying. They could be out defending folks protesting, chauffeuring people to their jobs, and providing security to activists. You know.... like a patriot I hope enough get uneasy enough that they start.

Conservatives have been hoodwinked. Where do they draw the line between the illusion of smaller government and constitution defying tyranny that ignores state's rights. You know, the things they claim to hold dear and are fundamental to their movement? When will real patriots step up?

If you are American and haven't read the Declaration of Independence recently, I implore you to do so. It hits different now and no longer feels like this ancient thing. www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

Shouldn't one be suspicious that the only ones saying that AI will murder jobs is the AI CEOs? What does it say about the politicians when they parrot the talking points of CEOs?

Something I think about a lot. When you explore a success story, how do you weight the actions of the individual vs the outcomes that were just statistically more likely due to circumstances in that moment? Sure, there's hardwork, but would that same hardwork done in a diff time have same result?

Booker makes history breaking speech. Inspires nation scared by corruption admin. Confirms personal friend and guilty pled corrupt family member of opposition. Turns out the anti corruption advocate is he himself corrupt.

Reality is so much worse than reality

I wonder if the next breakthrough in AI would be custom synthetic data with a certain political slant. Therefore, you can show off the prompt and show it has no special instructions.

UAE is going to invest 30% of their total GDP in the US over the next 10 yrs ($1.4 trillion). These goons expect us to believe that is will be a real thing? If so, I have a Foxconn plant in WI to show you. Everyone but us is having fun with the ineptitude of this admin.

Shopping for a favorable venue defeats the purpose of a fair justice system.

Dems forced their colleague Menendez to resign over bribery. When Trump openly takes a bribe worth 100,000 times MORE, they can't seem to find the time to say ANYTHING never mind force their constitutionally required approval. HE KEEPS THE PLAN AFTER OFFICE. Taxpayer saves nothing. Its for him!

The dems pretend to be an opposition party, but their only opposition is to anything of substance or consequence.
