The filing says CBP system is incapable of filtering 53 million data entries and issuing refunds. Describes plan to make system update w/in 45 days. I’m not familiar enough with this stuff to say but as someone who has had to work with large antiquated computer systems, it does sound plausible.

What’s really, really wild about this is that car *leasing* has in many ways gotten significantly cheaper over time. In 2006, a Toyota Camry lease was ~$225/month for 36 mos with $3k down. Total: $11,100 In 2026, a Toyota Camry lease is ~$275/month for 36 months with $2k down. Total: $11,900

“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.

This 🧵is worth reading re: Graham Platner, why his claims just get worse the more you know about Is he a Nazi? Doubt it. But that’s beside the point.

So you want the Iranian people, some 20k of which was just slaughtered, to do what -- mass outside a few govt buildings and try to take them over? Will those buildings be bombed? Do you realize how easily they can be painted as foreign collaborators now and mowed down? What is it you're suggesting?

I wanted to mention a great talk I saw at Yiddish Culture Jam last weekend with this Moishe Dolman. I think I've even linked this before. But he's quite a funny character and a sharp guy in his own way. When I saw him on the schedule with a 90 minutes topic TBD lecture I knew I had to fit it in😂

Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity

His idea was fascism, he got fascismed, he’s just not the guy in charge.

Um, no. It is widely agreed that Marx and Lenin were wrong when they advised you to sell those shares of IBM your uncle gave you for your bar mitzvah.

leave britney alone

The SAVE Act doesn't just add requirements. It ends: — Online registration — Registration drives — DMV registration 5.6% of Americans registered at an election office in 2024. Under the SAVE Act, that's the only way. For everyone.

I have a number of thoughts about this: 1. This is what I said would happen 2. Um deontological praxis lol 3. That’s because tRump is a pedophile! We have to get him out! 4. [something that may be antisemitic/racist but it’s not worth trying to clarify] 5. Evidence? 6. Random account tagging

NATO went in to stop a genocide. That’s Very Fucking Different than this bullshit.

You people are insane. The U.S. government did it because it wanted to do it, not because Israel manipulated us to do it. You are absolutely delusional and normalizing terrible views that could lead to terrible things.

This is the right messaging The government knows what they’re doing is illegal Talking about consequences today can help deter crimes tomorrow.

Republicans in Congress decide whether hearings happen, and whether they are public. But assuming Noem is ultimately fired, Democrats in Congress were instrumental in making that happen. So (1) credit where it’s due (2) this shows what’s possible even in the minority.

If anyone can find a source that alleges that Amy Gertner is Jewish that is independent of Peter Brimelow (of VDARE!?!) on his substack of 26 October 2025, please let me know so I can switch Grim to a cooler rack down there

I’m starting to wonder if it was a mistake to have a system that allows the worst people in the world to earn money brainwashing our kids 24/7.

I went to high school with Harvey Weinstein’s nieces (his brother Bob’s daughters). They were both lovely people.

About 20 years ago I told Bari Weiss that she was absurd and should go to hell.

When I was in college, an astroturfing group that definitely wasn’t connected to McDonald’s paid me to heckle Morgan Spurlock after a screening of Supersize Me.

The fundamental issue with the group chats is not that the members are Nazis, but that there’s no actual consequence for participating in a Nazi group chat. And why would there be? Their potential bosses are fine with it.

This is the kind of message I’ve hoped to hear for the last year. Normalize the idea that these bastards will stand trial, from Noem on down to the guards who just murdered someone through denial of dental care. They know what they are doing is illegal. They can be deterred from doing more.

I think this is an under-recognized aspect of LLM deployment. So many use cases people have described to me IRL are about how ChatGPT et al are ‘solving’ for other problems created by other mismanaged consumer tech, like email overflow and poor cross-platform calendar integration.

This is bad. I’m sure Trump and Netanyahu would love to have NATO pulled into the war.

This sounds not good

That’s the part that blows my mind. Why don’t they realize what happened in Dallas County was only a test run? Even worse…Paxton will still be in a position to call in the TX Supreme Court to stop the vote in November too. EVERYONE should be demanding all the votes are counted but nope🤷🏾‍♀️

Meta has a history of torturing their moderators and providing NOTHING in the way of mental health care. How do I know? Because I used to be a moderator for Meta and I got a $3,500 settlement for the PTSD they gave me. When we tried to unionize, they moved their moderation to the Philippines.

Chat, write press remarks that are empty and meaningless but still remind everyone I’m a psychopath who fetishizes violence b

I know Nancy Mace said some stupid anti-trans shit to Tim Walz in a hearing today. Do yourself a favor and don't bother watching it or sharing it. She is a troubled person who uses hateful words in an attempt to make herself the center of attention, which is all she cares about.

And Ted straight up killed a lady and was punished with a lifetime in the senate!

This will singlehandedly ruin the Kennedy name for the rest of time in Massachusetts.

Your periodic reminder that “Israel’s government” and “the Jews” aren’t synonymous.

One thing about Trump is that he will make his supporters look as dumb as we know they are… you got these republicans now saying “this isn’t a war” and here’s Trump “wars can be fought ‘forever’”… they don’t even have a script

Hey @dysio.de, really gross of you to invoke someone's dead Holocaust-survivor grandparent to make your Basic Bluesky Bitch comment about Substack. You're a piece of shit. BTW "Jew-hating" should have a hyphen, you illiterate twit.

this is very concerning Anti-Black voter suppression is like water finding any crack. That's why the VRA was so important.

As a relatively insignificant aside, it’s not fair that GLP-1s seem to work effectively for this guy and for Trump. Like, he’s slim in this pic. In contrast, my dad - a sweet man who’s never done any crimes against humanity - paid of-pocket to try the different drugs, and none of them has helped.

I'm a Talarico supporter (though I love Crockett too). It's reprehensible that in Texas, and in red states across the nation, Black neighborhood voting locations have been closed. This is a Trump / GOP thing. Voting should be free and fair for all.

I don’t think a Senior Product Manager for AI should be determining editorial policy at a nonprofit newswire.

One day kids will make meme videos w/clips from a historical fiction movie set in a bunker beneath the White House Ballroom.

Israel and Saudi bear *some* responsibility for this due to encouraging it (and Israel being a fucking co-belligerent), but let's be real, this happened because Trump was bored and feeling down, because Hegseth wants to murder Muslims, and because the US military has a blood vendetta against Iran.

Ok let’s do quiet/out loud. When pundits say “moderate who can appeal to the center” they mean white men. Don’t believe me? Think of an example of someone who isn’t a white man was characterized this way by pundits for national politics.

“Funny dog quote, you magnificent bastards”

This smells Musky.
