You ass he's the goddamn president right now

Basically summed up as: you’re not that important. Don’t be an asshole. thepowerdynamic.substack.com/p/some-thoug...

Are we sure we all like this bargain? www.theregister.com/2026/01/06/a...

I was hoping when large media covered Mobile Fortify, the ICE facial app we revealed in June, it would add substantial information. Instead this front page WSJ piece rehashes our reporting, presents it as new attributed to officials, and forgets to capitalize M in 404 Media bsky.app/profile/cori...

But even that - writers, artists, others who depended on Twitter to reach their audience, their customers - now that reach is virtually non-existent. So even commercially Twitter is useless. The only viable business there is spit out outrage posts to generate Twitter ad revenue.

Claude devs complain about surprise usage limits, Anthropic blames expiring bonus

Standing room only at the NVIDIA keynote. Currently a VC analyst and founder burping up word salad. The abridge ceo just said “the majority of doctors use AI,” we’ve had multiple things said so far that are complete nonsense

my fav tech reporters are the ones that burned out 8-10 years ago and give zero fucks and post about coffee and trees and shit.

By the fourth paragraph he quotes “the philosopher Ayn Rand” with reverence, and that’s all I needed to know.

Because "social media has ruined your brain" is a sales pitch to anyone who is unhappy with their life, their kids, or their partner, since everyone is on social media. "ChatGPT glazes you until you lose your mind" doesn't sell anything because that's the whole entire reason people use it.

The government tried to eliminate January 6th evidence, so NPR archived it. Boom Bravo for this incredible work collecting and saving the January 6th evidence before the government could destroy it Essential: www.nprillinois.org/2026-01-04/t...

Concur

Dog ain’t gonna wag itself.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

Call your Senator, Andy, tell him to do something about this.

He’s doing this to distract from the possibility of the Seahawks winning the top seed and the bye in the National Football Conference.

The default state of humanity is to live like animals, where strength is the only thing that matters. Hundreds of years of philosophical and legal thought and work happened so we wouldn’t have to live like that anymore. If you’re cheering order’s demise, better hope you’re never on the losing side.

If this is truly the case why would anybody without insider information trade on them? In a rigged market, there has to be a pool of suckers. So eventually the suckers will move on and these things will collapse just like crypto tokens did

Funny to think back to all the dissembling about justifications to invade Iraq.

I guess one way to look at this is as the predictable endpoint of being Completely Full of Shit About Certain Things For Several Generations

I don't know what to call it. It's been bizarre listening to a decades-long parade of government officials telling lies about this that everyone immediately recognizes as lies, and it's bizarre that we've reached the point that the lies are no longer seen as necessary

Kind of amazing how someone as dumb and unsophisticated as Trump is simply manages to perfectly crystalize US foreign policy this century. He's on Fox & Friends just straight up saying "yeah we're going to put our own guy in there and take the oil"

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

I know many people who ask google questions like this and I have never written anything about Margaret Atwood and here we are.

Just had to get something off my chest www.theregister.com/2026/01/03/e...

CNBC (the only one so far that even mentions Grok is an "AI bot" and cites a human, but like all the others fails to explain the post was not a meaningful or relevant statement in any way

lol who even watches the evening news anymore, CBS or otherwise? Fighting a battle from 1978.

And what has Trump learned about the media in the interim?

A cybercrook claims to have breached Pickett and Associates, a Florida-based engineering firm whose clients include major US utilities, and is selling what they claim to be about 139 GB of engineering data about Tampa Electric Company, Duke Energy Florida, and American Electric Power.

Grok says I’m done with Sergio He treats me like a rag doll

Seems fine

A lot of blame for proliferation of stochastic parrots regurgitating crap lies with clueless media reporting on them.

🚨 Tesla Quarterly Production - 4Q25 Update Tesla produced 1,654,667 vehicles in 2025. Down 6.7% compared to 2024. Down 10.4% compared to 2023. Vehicle inventory increased by 16k units in Q4. 2026 looks to be a challenging year as competition grows and gov't incentives diminish.

What’s weird is I haven’t seen any of the actual Somali daycare propaganda, I’ve just seen the debunkings. I suppose that’s my media bubble…but hasn’t come up in conversation at all. I think the right-wing media-influence bubble has gotten a lot smaller and more isolated in the last year.

What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

One thing I wrote about here is how technology has made buses *way* more convenient while techno-futurists were obsessed with flying taxis and self-driving cars.

Shame that no major financial TV network has dedicated green energy coverage. If only someone had thought of that.

“The billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30-an-hour that their enemies are those earning $20-an-hour. They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long, broken system.” -Zohran Mamdani

My swear-in book is Strunk & White “Elements of Style.”

i was just thinking about this. when a fascist squeaks by, it’s a mandate. when a progressive wins by a landslide, he needs to be deferential. it’s such bullshit.

So this is a bit odd. I heard @kevinroose.com on the @nytwirecutter.bsky.social podcast talking about AI tools that he uses, and he mentions one that helps organize his personal emails. That sounds vaguely interesting, but I didn't quite hear the name. So I looked it up and discovered something odd.
