This administration……🤦‍♂️

NEW: Grok is making disinformation on X so much worse— ....it's now even backing it's own lies by creating AI images www.wired.com/story/fake-a...

1/ "Higher energy, fertilizer and transport costs – including freight rates, bunker fuel prices and insurance premiums – may increase food costs and intensify cost-of-living pressures, particularly for the most vulnerable." Excellent report by UNCTAD unctad.org/system/files...

Maybe I'm crazy but I'd prefer to see AI work labelled as AI rather than "human-authored" work labelled as human.

wait you what

I was just lamenting a few days ago about how I would never, ever see this, and how bummed I was about that. The old Millius KING CONAN script was pretty much a must read for all of us at Ain't it Cool 25 years ago and I'm DYING to see what McQuarrie does. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Blinking eyeball necklace

America views women under a microscope and men with a blindfold on.

The night sky is ours. All of ours. Our children’s. Their children’s. We should be doing more to preserve the view of the stars for all. We give this up for some ludicrous to churn out wasteful nonsense to feed rich maniacs’ grift, it’s not coming back…

Derrick Johnson wants to build 192 wind phones in Colorado Springs to memorialize every victim of the Return to Nature Funeral Home case, including his mother, Ellen Lopes.

"Venture capitalist" sounds like it's being sold.

Oddly, every vote will still be with the Republicans

AI is bullshit all the way down... www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This might be how I go when the thing dies

This is bonkers. If you wanted to destroy the state you couldn't do a better job

My neighbor had her gutters replaced and they did the right house ☹️

Gallup Poll (3/5/26): Do you approve of $8 gas No: 99% Yes: 1% Do you approve of Donald Trump's $8 gas policy No: 46.6% Yes: 38.9% Unsure: 14.5%

Is this bad? “City officials expect to reach a ‘water emergency’ within months and run out of water next year.“ “The region’s largest industrial users, which collectively consume the majority of the region’s water, remain exempt from emergency curtailment.” www.texastribune.org/2026/03/08/t...

Oil surges past $100/bbl; Nikkei index plunges at the start of Monday trading.

Strong reminder: women have not been independent for as long as some folks would like you to believe. We’ve lost rights that we never should have lost.

D.C. statehood isn’t just about two senators, it’s about having to put up with this crap.

Last week, I mentioned this in passing in a workshop: In 1938 Enrico Fermi won a Nobel Prize for discovering two new elements of the periodic table. Lise Meitner shortly showed that Fermi was mistaken and instead had produced known lighter elements by fission. She did not win a Nobel prize.

Have you heard about the mathematician who published her first paper in Nature at the age of 10?

Resharing for those who missed yesterday’s post. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this might be one of the only lawsuits where the DOGE bros have been deposed.

The final indignity: he wore a fucking hat to the transfer ceremony. I don’t care if you’re offended by my language. Take the fucking hat off.

Helluva way for the president to refer to dead soldiers — soldiers killed in a war he started. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Happy to know that our Mayor and First Lady are safe, but horrified that there was such a disturbing threat of violence outside their residence. Vile displays of Islamophobia will never be tolerated in our city.

I have watched this approximately 47 times and laughed out loud 47 times

As an American, will someone just Caesar him already

Do this offline as well. Does wonders

WV can't stop punching itself 🙄

38% of airline passengers vote to open plane door midflight because that bitch stewardess said not to

i am not generally a "go through the hoops to write a comment I don't think will really be read" kind of guy, but for a plan THIS bad, by a guy I hate THIS much... I'll make the exception

Intersection where fatal crash occurred approved for traffic light, but Greenwood Village never took action. The Scripps News Group pressed the city and CDOT for answers.

This was a very hard piece to report out, but an important and urgent one. If you care about the safety of women and girls online, I hope you’ll read it and share it with others.

Tech guys apparently aren't aware that the machine that they built which mimics human language may speak like humans

We have gone mad. "The first page of the draft reads: 'It has been determined that a lowering of water quality of various waters of the state associated with granting coverage under this permit is necessary to accommodate important social and economic development in the state of Ohio.'”

This is an ASTONISHING level of corruption. DHS handed a $143 MILLION no-bid contract to a company that was 8 days old, with no headquarters, no website, no prior federal work, and an address linked to a residence of a political operative.

If you were horrified by Grok making sexually explicit deepfakes of women and girls, you will want to read the research/reporting I have coming out later today. One of the most-active venues for that type of abuse is hiding in plain sight, and AFAIK my piece is the first to confront it head on.

“The job market is weakening, inflation is still too high, and we’re at serious risk of a once-in-50-years oil shock,” Rogé Karma writes. “The economy’s warning lights might not yet be flashing red, but they are certainly flashing yellow”:

The US Customs and Border Protection agency is unable to comply with a court order directing it to refund tariffs that the Supreme Court has ruled illegal, the agency said in a court filing with the US Court for International Trade reut.rs/4somFXm

Fascinating new piece by @sipappas.bsky.social looking at the geology behind the geopolitics: 🧪

Another masterstroke, sir

A federal judge has sided with 15 Republican-led states and a national home builders group in finding that minimum energy standards for federally-funded housing set by Democratic former President Joe Biden's administration were unlawful.
