"Omg did you see what the latest Platner scandal is? Like he was sexting the whole ti—" You bolt awake in Washington DC. You are not online. It is 1842 AD. You are Alexander Baring, 1st Baron Ashburton, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Canada must annex Northern Maine

Great article, but look at this picture. I've said it before but uh... CHEVRON 7 ENCODED.

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

A silly mistake many tech companies are making right now is the assumption that you can replace a worker with a markdown file.

Now is a good time to remember that Meta has announced that it is laying off 10% of its workforce, including 2,000 people just today, while going in on a "AI will replace workers" strategy. www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

1. This is an extremely satisfying read. 2. Pelley is going to be replaced by someone who is at least willing to attest that everything Weiss is doing is great. www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

New: Amazon had an internal leaderboard for tracking employees' AI usage. We spoke to multiple Amazon employees who acknowledged they cheated to rise on the leaderboard; one did so after a manager said they weren't using AI enough. Amazon has now closed the rankings www.404media.co/amazon-shuts...

The math says a vote for anybody but Steyer is a vote for at least one Republican in the primary. Double Dem is great: We'll have a real progressive v establishment fight, and it will depress Republic voting up and down the ballot.

You play to win the game. It may suck that politics is viewed as a game and is covered that way, but the reality is, you can't leave anything behind on the field. You want to hoover up every tiny scrap of EV (and then some).

we cannot be a nation until the whole hell of the deportation machine, the family separation machine, the foul moloch that sustains Stephen Miller and grinds children into dust, until all of that is dismantled and the work of reparation begins www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Making "being straight" or "being a fan of a politician" as your whole personality; Complete fucking poison, stupid, dumb, go jump in a well. Making "knowing that the Pringles guy is renowned sci-fi author Gene Wolfe" your whole personality; Completely-normal, healthy, good actually.

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.

Re-open the golden door! It's still, even at this late date, a democracy. We can have it all back, but after the last year I am more convinced than ever it starts with being the sort of country they mail a statue too because they promise liberty & opportunity to all comers.

Why does Mayor Mamdani not attend the parade for a country that he would be banned from visiting and other questions that can be answered by asking them out loud

You may have seen colored maps of the US indicating California has the most expensive electricity in the US (like, say, on the FERC homepage) with the *implication* being renewables are to blame. That implication is, to put it bluntly, bullshit. Renewables are cheaper & more stable than fossil.

I hope these poor people get treatment for their head injuries.

brian herbert's dune books are an attempt to destroy the series so badly that they awaken the frank herbert ghola's ancestral memories

Heyo, I am on the ground in #SanJoséCA at Mexican Heritage Plaza for a protest and march in response to the planned building of an #ICE detention center just outside of #GilroyCA.

this is fascinating: gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

donald trump's idea of what a "balroom" entails seems to be some combination of McDonalds Playland, Versailles, and Death Star

In Jersey City for the +Orion Ingress anomaly! Feeling pretty good rocking this yellow Jersey ENL shirt. King! (... in Yellow?).

I'm in Jersey City this weekend so I'm in sight of the Statue of Liberty. Re-open the golden door! (Until then how many Jersey City local eateries can I visit?)

BREAKING Federal judge orders President Donald Trump’s name removed from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, says law makes "crystal clear" Congress intended the institution to honor JFK

Ken Paxton is a cheat, a narcissist, a bigot, and a bully. He’s emblematic of the Trumpian turn in our politics. And we’re going to get a lot more like him. My latest: www.liberalcurrents.com/hell-is-empt...

"When police and salespeople trot out cherry-picked cases to argue that a mass #surveillance technology is an ‘important‘ tool, they obfuscate that it's a convenient shortcut around due process." - "residency verification" - "employment" - "background check" - "music" NoALPRs.com 🚫 #deflock #alpr

Peter Thiel's interest in New Zealand and Argentina traces back to the 1997 book "The Sovereign Individual," which argued that technology would collapse nation-states like the USA in the 21st century. Almost 30 years later, he is still chasing the "prophecy" (now AI and Antichrist-enhanced)

Your tax dollars at work.

Seems epistemically problematic that there are now near-daily exchanges of fire in the Straight of Hormuz and it drives coverage significantly less than the 30-whatevereth tweet from Axios or Trump about how close to a deal we are...

Forget the Nancy Pelosi tracker, I need to hook up Claude to a Robinhood account and have it track Trump’s trades.

New: Regretful cities are literally covering their Flock cameras with black trash bags because they cannot figure out how to immediately exit their surveillance contracts or get the cameras taken down: www.404media.co/cities-are-c...

Whether it's Kamala Harris spending $300 of her own money on Le Creuset cookware enameled with porcelain or Donald Trump spending $100 million of taxpayer money on shrines to himself plated with gold, both candidates made some puzzling expenditures.

Fired 60 Minutes-er Cecilia Vega put out this statement: "In recent months, my producing teams and I have experienced efforts to insert political bias into our stories. Reporting teams have held back on submitting story pitches about important news topics out of fear of the internal repercussions."

Liberal Currents is my favorite political publication on the Citadel. Er, Blue Sky.

Nearly 300 miles range for the top model of this EV, starting under $10k. The US has no answer for this and our policies are intentionally making it more impossible.

Wonder why Magneto might go to Argentina.

Radiologist: "Why don't you smile for the camera when you get in the CT machine?" Me: "Forgive me, I work in infosec and have studied automated radiological disasters, so I'm going to just try disassociating. Literally the kindest I could be after two days of no solid food. :)

In California, it's Desert Power.

Is the Bulwark trying to strangle this thing in the crib since it's such weak sauce? Or do people really believe this is the future? ICE has been in my neighborhood; I don't think the fix is badge cams, you know?

3/ "Mr. Miller chairs a bimonthly meeting — called a 'wins' meeting — at which various government agencies report on recent successes, with the Pentagon’s death toll from boat strikes regularly highlighted as one of the biggest."

It is not enough to make a liberal clone of Project 2025, and Project 2025 itself was not an electoral strategy. The Reconstruction Papers will offer the actual liberal answer to Project 2025 and the Trump era; CAP's Project 2029 is unlikely to do the same. www.liberalcurrents.com/editors-notes/

An AP investigation found that at least 10 detainees have died by suicide since Trump took office in January 2025, a pace that far exceeds the growth in the detainee population, according to a review of ICE data, autopsy reports, coroners' rulings and police records. https://to.pbs.org/4dBhUFw

The preppers’ dream at the South Dakota development billed as “The Largest Survival Community on Earth” has soured, curdled by friction akin to a suburban homeowners’ association fight. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4dSCNL7

Oura has announced a new wearable ring. This is a good time to remind you that Oura receives government demands for users' sensitive data stored on its servers, but won't say how many demands it gets — or how often it gives that data to authorities. From me, last week:

LMAO! Oh, that pendulum is about to swing back like a wrecking ball. www.ktalnews.com/entertainmen...

Just 15 years ago Aaron Swartz died as a result of MIT's overzealous regard for the sanctity of their libraries. He'd be turning 40 this year.
