Journalists love entertaining and sensationalizing laws like "The Unpassable Journalistbait Bill Written Solely for Publicity Act of 2025"

There it is

It’s cool how the consensus in the US is only W-2 workers who rent should pay taxes

I think a threshold question for high-level politics is "can you give a cogent answer to a skeptical question from an interviewer on a wide range of issues?" Mamdani passes the test, as do Vance & Newsom & Pete — but most contemporary Dems don't. www.slowboring.com/p/the-biden-...

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

he called up the Georgia secretary of state to ask for extra votes. the call is on YouTube. my expectations are in hell

The new $100k/year H1B fee is pure economic self-harm—workers making **5 times the median US income**, who contribute massively to the US, would still basically be unable to afford this fee Oh, but never fear, the White House reserves the right to dish out exemptions as favors!

extremely disturbing

Diseased. This is why we can’t allow a little instrumental lying, as a treat. We’ll never fix it now

Qanon level thinking all over this site. Total break with reality. This is not good for us. This does not help us

i am somewhat surprised to see "national hot cross bun day" gifs at #1 over 9/11. and i am surprised people are using gifs of either thing.

When @jovo.design spots a baby fox at sunset he breaks out the big lens.

See, only fringe figures like the Israeli defense minister are framing Israeli action as collective punishment

It's crazy how Trump 2 has produced ~0 memorable quotes

i have been telling myself i'll change this setting on my tv for at least 6 years

"the abundance movement is borne out of people who trust los angeles' politicians" is a new one

we will do anything except give smart people green cards

fascinating

When you look at Bluesky activity stats, things aren't great. But bots have gotten worse here in my experience, and so I can't help but wonder what "actual" activity metrics would look like.

This really seems like the beginning of the end of the open web. Devastating for archiving and research.

Are DPC++ (and SYCL) safe w/Intel struggling right now?

the saudis were less brazen with jamal khashoggi. insane.

I want to know what was really going on with this guy

Trump allowing Subaru to export trucks to America at a 15% tariff is the most lesbian affirming thing he will ever do

Look I went on /r/ChatGPT and some of this stuff is genuinely sad to read and upvoted hundreds of time by people deeply emotionally connected or feeling assisted by 4o, not even relationship stuff. Damn.

Hi Jon this is your lawyer speaking. I am advising you today to keep posting this shit

"The hack ... is feared to have compromised the identities of confidential informants involved in criminal cases at multiple federal district courts. ... "It is not immediately clear who is behind the hack, though nation-state-affiliated actors are widely suspected."

Qualcomm just runs a somewhat tight ship. I'm surprised they've gotten this all major OEMs on board. Geekerwan interviewed some of the team and they shared how they force OEMs to stick to their tuning iirc. Maybe at a firmware label? because all OEMs still have their own adjustments I believe

Today's "strategic" trade tools become tomorrow's immovable fiscal fixtures. I saw this firsthand in last admin. Despite knowing they were poorly designed, we were unable to eliminate *ANY* 301 tariffs Trump 1.0. Once tariffs become industry protection, they develop their own political constituency.

marco rubio's google history right now: "what does the bls do" "econometrics explained" "jobs report template" "r tutorial for beginners" "r tutorial for beginners no indian instructor"

1) that was fast 2) the second order effects of this are going to be catastrophic if congress does not intervene

I am hopeful, but I was also hopeful many years ago when a child was seemingly cured in Mississippi and it resurfaced after 27 months. Seems like the child in the study w/who has been undetectable the longest is still 10 months shy of that.

On one of the most unbelievable satellite images I've ever seen, showing hundreds of Palestinians surrounding aid trucks north of Rafah. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/w...

forgot these stats were viewable. did not think I was this annoying 😓 (n.b. I’m using clearsky)

Rude.

funny how when a democrat is in office, the papers are covered in pieces demanding he be bipartisan in everything he does, but when trump is like "the democrats are my enemies and i will cheat the american people in order to crush them" its like "wow donald's impressive winning streak never ends!"

UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has revealed its plans to review the rules for increasing capacity at Heathrow Airport. ✈️📈

@whstancil.bsky.social had it right---this is the minimum we should demand from state electeds until the nightmare is over

Welcome to ZomboCom

Truth social infiltration is obviously more effective than trying to hold up the sky on twitter. Twitter is still great at niche stuff, but it shouldn't be a daily driver social media site unless you know what you're doing. Electeds should be on absolutely everything

dinner tonight 😋

where do I begin

Believing Trump as the anti-christ is a bit like believing newtonian physics, definitely false but yields excellent predictions about the future

The vaunted "grind to a halt" has actually been happening. it's just, y'know, not something that actually works.

its crazy how microsoft fumbled the phone market so bad not even the best phone OS ever (windows phone 8.1) could save it

Zoning truly is the enemy

People running their own personal US FP right now: Trump: ✅ Musk: ✅ Vance: ✅ Hegseth: ✅ Graham: ✅ Rubio: ✅ Cruz: ✅ Colby: ✅ There seems to be little to no coordination between them
