Just to be clear, the president specifically promised Genocide for 8PM tonight.

There is a business thing called the McKinsey 9-box matrix. If an industry is good, and you have an advantage, pour money in. It doesn’t care if there is more money to be made. It requires growth, even at the cost of financial mismanagement and business suicide. We are all stuck in this box.

“Trump orders creation of national eligible voters list.” Well I’m convinced there is no way this ends in fascism.

If I fail, I fail, and we try again tomorrow.

Can we just make bots pretending to be humans illegal?

Kristi Noemore.

Apparently it’s now a “radical left woke” position to not want domestic surveillance of all Americans and fully autonomous killbots. Which means Trump thinks the Right wants AI surveillance of all Americans and AI Killbots. Is he right?

So hearing things in a way that’s accessible to everyone and having people onstage that represent you is important. Huh. I hear you, conservative America.

How far we’ve fallen that calling for a full and fair investigation of a murder that has multiple witnesses and video recordings from multiple angles is controversial.

An illegal parking spot is just a parking spot for people who can afford the ticket. That’s this administration’s approach to all laws.

“Let us invade your country or we’ll tax ourselves!”

Someone who knew when the invasion of Venezuela would happen made $400,000 betting on it. Would the invasion have been stopped, or happened on a safer day, if they didn’t have money on it? Letting people bet on everything is a bad idea.

@warren.senate.gov Can we introduce a bill in the Senate ASAP to not go to war with Europe over Greenland? This has gotten incredibly dangerous.

What I love about AI is it has finally convinced companies that we can do a much faster, better job if they finally invest in basic tooling like we’ve been asking for years. The downside, is somehow the answer is always a language model.

Oh good, T**** is trying to add 600 Billion dollars to the Department of War budget. I can't imagine what for.

Just sitting here bracing.

What the absolute fuck did we just do?

This is your yearly reminder that it’s cheaper to house the homeless than to keep them homeless and pay for the police and health services that consumes. Jesus and Adam Smith would both house the homeless for completely opposite reasons.

This is the AI that has control over the navigation systems in your car.

The Military Law of War manual specifically refers to orders to fire upon the shipwrecked as a war crime that is “clearly illegal.” And if not refused, everyone is guilty of war crimes. This isn’t open for interpretation. This is in the manual, rule 18.3.2.1. ogc.osd.mil/Portals/99/L...

I love how certain police officers, people paid by the public to support the public irrespective of ability to pay, are complaining that Mamdani is a socialist. Like, Honey, what do you think you do?

I always thought raving would lead to a life of lascivious hedonism, but really it just led to a life of listening to audiobooks at 2x.

'I think we're just gonna kill people' - a man who didn’t win a Nobel Peace Prize.

It’s not problem 1 right now but Trump promising not to tear down the White House, then breaking a bunch of laws to tear down the White House, is just such a metaphor.

Cost to hire a movie extra: $200. People at the No-Kings rally: 7 Million. Cost if the rally were full of paid actors: $1.4 Billion. Is it more likely that someone spent $1.4 Billion to secretly hire 1% of the US, or that many people see something going seriously wrong with our country?

I know there aren’t a lot of conservatives who follow me. But just in case there are: If what Trump does becomes too much, you can impeach / remove him and still control the government. You would not be giving up the presidency. You would be deciding on a better but still conservative president.

If we see each other every other year, and I die at 70, we’ll only see each other about 12 more times.

It costs $17,000 to deport someone, according to Homeland Security. When you hear of someone being deported, ask yourself if it was worth $17,000, or if you’d rather have a $17,000 tax break. Sometimes the answer will be yes. But I’m betting there are a lot of times you’d rather have the $17,000.

Someone’s life is both good and bad things. You can’t eliminate all of someone’s bads. And you can’t fill their goods. But you can help. That’s all anyone can ask. Remove a bad thing from someone’s life. Maybe add a good thing. If we all strove to do a little of each, what a world we would create.

Wait… so the president who owns and runs hotels is stopping immigration enforcement against hotels because his hotels are losing too many workers? How much more naked can a corrupt conflict-of-interest be?

Can you do me a quick favor? If you have ever done any game streaming, please fill out a quick survey here for one of my classes / future plans. Basically, I need to know how you choose the games you choose to stream. Thank you! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Some climbing moves can only be done if you believe that they can be done. And others can’t. Life is annoying.

We’re all Harvard now.

The Feds set a high interest rate because they want to slow down the economy. Wouldn’t higher taxes do that too? Lower interest rates, raise taxes, and use that tax money to pay off our debt.

Just timelining: 1. Trump imposed tariffs on the world as a tactic to negotiate “deals.” 2. Trump paused his tariffs in order to negotiate deals. 3. Trump doesn’t have time to negotiate, and is imposing tariffs without any deals. 4. Profit?

If a protection requires a lawyer to enforce, it’s only a protection for the rich.

I just tried to dismiss a piece of paper by swiping up.

Dear New Jersey: What is this? What *is* this? Go to your room and think about what you’ve done.

Wow. Trump actually said your kids will have 93% fewer toys, and what little we have left will go up in price. I guess it ‘s at the point even he can’t ignore his impacts.

How many generations until plates go away?

Too young to drink responsibly, we convince kids to take on $100,000 debts. And then we make fun of them for spending the rest of their lives crushed under that debt.

You can’t be both thin blue line and ignoring court orders. That’s the law.

Someone on a neighborhood group asked “does over the air TV work or is it a scam?” And as the group explained it was like streaming but with fixed start and end times I felt the unmistakable craving for a Werther’s Original.

“I don’t just believe in the sunk cost fallacy. I believe in the sink-it-to-the-bottom-of-the-ocean-and-maybe-it-can-be-a-reef fallacy.” - Movie Bob

Blood moon over the grasping branches.

Coffee friends: what is the difference between brewing coffee in a french press and brewing it like tea?
