I found this foil smashed flat in the street and I took a picture in case somebody needs a map for a fantasy novel or something.

President Trump announces he’ll send troops to Portland, Oregon. https://apnews.com/article/trump-federal-troops-portland-oregon-f8659de72f28289ef22bd924d149a52f

A fascist government doesn’t announce that it’s fascist, it declares anti-fascists enemies of the state.

A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections.

So that’s how Musk knows Trump is in the files.

Despite everything I still have fundamental faith in the American people turning this around and making things better. [reads any New York Times focus group] Fuck this. Fuck everything. Burn it all down. [drinks directly from tequila bottle]

Up yours, monobrow.

Will context change the message, or just the optics?

This is what I heard from the other room. #parenting 8yo: "Hey mom?" my wife: "Yeah?" 8yo: "Here you go. I found this between my toes, you can have it."

Me: why is everything so dusty? People who can adult: you have to dust. Me: what, like annually? Adults: no, more like weekly. Me: that can’t be right.

It's wild to think we used to watch TV on particle accelerators.

Pharmacy wouldn’t give me a COVID shot because I don’t qualify for the new CDC guidelines… this is bad folks.

Doing a video depo with my big monitor split into three screens and somehow an email pops up despite Outlook being minimized and covers the video screen and when I try to move it I accidentally close my notes screen and utter a word that is now in the transcript The email was about anger management

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

I ask myself this same question every day. And so far, it’s been pretty damn great.

There are so many far worse things happening in the world, but I just spotted the first reference to the 1990s as the "1900s" in the New York Times and it ruined my day.

Correctly as well

@w7voa Do not abuse this, do not #boostme, do not submit fake information!

Like all Cabinet departments, the DoJ is an executive branch agency, created to execute - that is, operationalize - laws enacted by Congress. Neither the President nor any Cabinet Secretary has, under the U.S. Constitution, the authority to enact law: the entire executive branch serves only to […]

Maybe uncommon on Mastodon, but it is possible to believe both these two things: 1) LLMs are incredibly useful. In two minutes, I can prompt the agent in my IDE to do a task that would take me an hour; it goes off and iterates on it for ten minutes while I answer Slack messages; after 1-2 […]

I get notifications asking me if I want to turn off notifications from applications because I haven’t responded to these notifications in a while. Probably because I haven’t actually seen any such notifications? Anyway, thanks for being so helpful reducing my number of notifications. I guess […]

Zelenskyy should counter by offering Russia Alaska.

Feeling a bit of hopelessness today. I always said I would proudly engage in malicious compliance if I was faced with a bathroom ban - following the law scrupulously even if it meant being beat up or arrested for "not" following it.

But the UK is openly banning trans men from using the bathroom because our existence makes other people uncomfortable. They're not pretending we're dangerous or anything like that. People might be uncomfortable seeing us in a bathroom and businesses are being directed to discriminate on that basis.
