I mean, you don't really need a translator

If I understand the MAGA mind correctly,... a successful rescue of the missing pilot will, in their collective unconscious, equate to victory in this war

Bolton is insane. Same as ever. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/04/o...

Is "Holman W. Jenkins, Jr." is a real person? @nytpitchbot.bsky.social has some competition.

Trump advertised heavily during episodes of The Walking Dead" back in 2016. I think about that a lot. Outreach to folks who fantasize about civilization collapsing to a world dominated by white guys in tactical pants who could shoot and fix old carburetors.

"Our expectation is.... ....much faster than you could expect"

they promised the hardships caused by liberation day would translate to a prosperous 2026.

One factor driving AI skepticism is that Microsoft Copilot is terrible.

Brian Kilmeade should prove he wrote the 10 or so books he supposedly wrote.

Crumbless Matzoh. Billion $ product waiting to be invented.

2 April 1890 | German Jew, Siegfried Fuchs, was born in Leipzig. In November 1938 he was arrested in Sachsenhausen. After his release he emigrated to Belgium. He was interned & finally transferred to Drancy. Deported to #Auschwitz on 3 November 1942 & murdered in a gas chamber.

Is "Holman W. Jenkins, Jr." a fictional character meant to appeal to highbrow Conservatives?

No he is not. He is not planning anything. He does not plan. He did not weaponize unpredictability, because that would be part of plan, which he does not have. If he has decided on some Good Friday plan, he's already forgotten, will learn of it watching Fox & Friends on tape delay.

In this time of higher energy prices, please consider car sharing…

x is populated by people who failed 11th-grade english, drove three startups into the ground, make mid-six-figures, and own two cybertrucks. bluesky is full of folks who hold two phds, have won prestigious awards in their field, can't quite consolidate their hold on fulltime work, and ride a bicycle

In his @status.news newsletter @oliverdarcy.bsky.social reports the White House got Getty to delete this photo (from a Thanksgiving White House PHOTO-OP STUNT) because Karoline Leavitt was offended It ran only in a Swiss newspaper. It would be a shame if you retweeted and Streisanded it

Sultan Abdulhamid II was an unwitting participant in the decline of the Ottoman Empire.

My son is struggling to find a job and a recession is coming. Kids who face a recession at the start of their careers typically earn less over their lifetimes.

Thought: As people continue to prompt AI models, will we gradually start speaking to each other the same way? I keep saying to GPT variants of: “When i ask a yes or no question only answer yes or no” or “Only answer the question asked!”

Pedocryptobellistagflation.

The latest coding models are no joke. For no reason, I built a functional version of TurboTax in a few evenings. The model was able to read and understand the US tax code (for individuals) with high precision and accuracy. Thousands of pages of forms, instructions, and publications.

Imagine telling everyone on the internet you're soft as hell while believing it makes you look tough.

Sources say it is not immediately clear as to why it raises questions, according to people familiar with the matter.

Personally I'm miserable because the movement David French championed for 40 years actually took power. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/o...

Calling the new Ayatollah gay will probably bring him to the negotiating table.

No Kings. Find your event for this Saturday, March 28th. www.nokings.org #NoKings

Know Thyself is ancient wisdom. GPT5.4 is unable to describe any of the menus on the GPT account page. Or the OpenAI account page. Or why they have two account pages for the same account. Or if they are two different accounts.

Everyone in the media is on Twitter. Media people are smart and assume they are smarter than Twitter’s algorithms and can therefore be objective. But Twitter is slowly altering their viewpoints because nobody is smarter than the algorithms.

Social media CEOs have done much more harm to our children than 1000 Jeffrey Epsteins (although Elon may have been on double duty) www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/o...

No. Not ever. Glad you're sorry but no.

Napoleon could have benefited from air cover.

How does this have anything to do with what I said?

The landlord has raised the rent of my old apartment 80% since COVID.

You should be calling everyone you.know.

In war the first casualties are nuanced takes.

Max is correct. Similar happened in both Iraq and Vietnam. Long after abandoning our initial aims, we spend years, lives, money, prestige on establishing exit conditions.

Nine days later, do they have the space?

Nepoconservative John Podhoretz, editor of Commentary, wistfully dreams of going back in time and killing Baby Ayatollah. If only 'they' listened to his dad!! www.commentary.org/articles/joh...

Bernie Sanders has always known how to use new technology in a smart way. This is a good watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3At...

What a headline from Haaretz:

Very important point from Patrick. I’d add that Jews who agree with his implication, as I do, should speak up. Talk to family and friends. Don’t be intimidated. Nuanced takes on how Americans *should* view Israel’s role in this unfolding disaster are unlikely to gain any traction.

We need to Cesar Chavez the Twain Prize. Anyone reading Chernow’s 2025 bio of Twain knows of his late-life obsessive courting of young teenage girls. Always platonic, they would say, and with doe-eyed parents’ permission. But who can come forward now?

Charlie nailed it. The wonks are still primarily on X. But those wonks are also having their minds slowly eaten away by the X algorithms.

Guys who collect Nazi memorabilia will love this.
