HOLY SHIT

i think we should be clear that just because the astronauts did not immediately declare the moon haunted, does not mean it is not haunted it may mean that the astronauts are now themselves haunted have we prepared for this eventuality and if so how

I'm losing it at this delivery robot getting absolutely smoked by the Brightline train in Florida 🤖🚅

Time to end the party 🎧🎷🔫 #NowPlaying #VinylSky #FreeImprovisationSky #Balls

I thought it helpful to plot out the annual positive cash flows for all (every one of them) companies that have achieved that from deploying learning based robots (VLA, VLM, LLM, RL, and even more conventional DL for driving) this century, including AVs. Here they all are, named and plotted.

One of my senators (D) went on TV and framed the problem with Trump's decision to launch an unprovoked assault on another country as entirely about process. She agrees with the carnage, she just wishes she would have been consulted about it first. Sorry to be a bit bummed out by that, I guess.

I’m so grateful the beach boys love me

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

It’s been a Sun Ship sort of week; ready to ascend for the weekend 🎧🎷☀️🚀 #NowPlaying #JazzSky #ColtraneSky

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

CATS THINK KITCHENS ARE AIRPORTS

I wrote about Senate Dems’ proposed “reforms,” which range from superficial to likely unenforceable to actively harmful; the grip billionaire-backed anti-“abolish” Groups have over Washington and the conspicuous absence of any attempt to touch DHS’s obscene budget.

Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Administration says ‘yeah’

I've lived in Minnesota my whole life and have experienced some major cold snaps but this is the first time I've heard about exploding trees.

i would happily stage a hostile takeover of the board of peace

Went for a walk in feels like -18 degree weather this morning but had to pay my respects to the bean

This was so much fun, so glad I made the trip

Every now and then I remember wynton Marsalis exists and I get upset

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

I know this gives folks big feelings & I want to make space for that, but we’re in “pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will” territory here. What we are experiencing now are the inevitable & historical consequences of the system we have. A new one is simply what is required.

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Rubber Soul is a relentless record

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

The Massachusetts version of this bill raised more billions of dollars than it expected and no one actually left. California should do it and be legends.

My sister knows how to buy my Xmas gifts (that I tell her to get me). 🎧 #NowPlaying #VinylSky #DylanSky #WiggleWiggle
