You ever get tired of every right-wing accusation proving, in fact, to be a confession and/or a roadmap? I sure do.

Techmeme front page:

Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, was appointed to a senior DHS position in which she’ll help oversee election security. “DHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies pushed by our enemies,” one expert said.

If any other president was 57 minutes late to an event addressing service members, there would be wall-to-wall coverage on all 3 major cable news networks addressing whether or not the president cares about the military.

Kinda wild Apple will kick ICEBlock out of the App Store on safety grounds but the Saudi government app that lets men track women (their “property”) and control their travel is fully allowed even after the Human Rights Watch AND members of the Senate begged them to ban it.

It's clear that rightwing agitators are flocking to Portland to distort what's happening, pick fights, and create incidents so the Trump Administration can escalate their punitive plans. As this piece by the Star Tribune lays bare, those plans include turning the US military against Americans.

NEW: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to an aid program.

Holy shit, this is bad. Bad enough that it's possible. But why in the hell would you boast about it online?

for how amazing Claude Code models are, they sure suck at finding extraneous or missing brackets, 🤣. The promise was that AI would conquer menial tasks

privacy-defeating dark patterns hit Claude Code. By me: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4541...

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

Could a collapsing fascist regime do THIS?

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like

Yup. We have formally entered the age of illusion.

Seems bad: “The rise of unofficial US economic reports.” on.ft.com/4n38BAs

A story no one is talking about - last week's high school shooting in Denver. 16-year-old white boy radicalized online and promoting white supremacist and anti-Semitic conspiracies, inspired by - and a fan of - terrorists who promoted replacement theory. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Only 40 days have passed since Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were tragically killed by an unhinged Trump supporter, yet this story has largely faded from national awareness. We must not allow that to happen.

I don't care what your politics are: If you support (or are indifferent toward) a party that is sufficiently loyalty-tested to the point of lying to cover up a decades-long pedophile ring that counted hundreds of victims, then you are in a cult, and you have lost the plot.

GOP greatly overestimates the number of fucks GenX and younger give about Bill Clinton.

Holy shit

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the vice chair of the Intelligence Committee, says he was denied a meeting with career intelligence workers because Laura Loomer objected.

I’ve spent the better part of two decades dealing with people trying to dox and harass the volunteers who make Wikipedia the incredible resource it is today. I liked it better when they weren’t in Congress. oversight.house.gov/wp-content/u...

Understand that OpenAI *knows* the effect its platform can have on people, because ONE OF THEIR OWN INVESTORS has become detached from reality by overusing the product — that’s why they made GPT5 less obsequious. But users are so hooked on the emotional manipulation that they demanded GPT4 back.

The TestFlight beta timeline for my new game is on schedule (mid September), and I'm happy to say that I'm having more fun with this thing than I ever had on a project. Let me know if you'd be interested in a TestFlight invite!

"Democracy Dies in Da—" just kidding we're going to normalize a fascist takeover of the government

Everybody knows why they're there. They can all stop pretending any day now.

U.S GDP grew at a at a 4.9 percent annual rate over the summer of 2024, and the Times reported this as 'unsustainable,' bad news for Joe Biden.

Before you have the reflexive American reaction of “haha, the president has no power over this, it’s A Distraction”, consider that the goal here is not to change anything, but rather to prepare the terrain to declare any election loss as having been rigged.

A government agency bragged about destroying posters protected by the First Amendment.

It’s suddenly clear to me why Trump has led a war on cancel culture these last 10 years. It's because he doesn't want to be cancelled for his links to pedophiles. The whole Joe Paterno drama must have scared the shit out of him.

I'm excited to see how Trump, friends of Epstein, Maxwell, and Gaetz and someone facing a massive PR crisis over links to Jeffrey Epstein, will play ex-KGB agent Vladimir Putin today in Alaska. If Trump had written the Art of the Deal I'm sure he would've included a chapter on it.

In light of Ghislaine Maxwell's escape from justice (where she gets to leave prison on "work" outings), here's a question on my mind today: What could Trump have possibly been thinking when he nominated disgraced Matt Gaetz as his first choice as AG? www.newsweek.com/matt-gaetz-h...

How is the world not freaking out more about agenetic llm coding. I've been coding software projects for 15 years (metafruit.com), and i haven't seen any new tool/language/framework remotely as impactful. In 3 weeks I've created by far the coolest app I've ever made (and other apps have taken years)

These are concentration camps.

Hard to believe that Apple removed direction support from the U1 to U2 chip jump(the U2s only have distance support). I implemented support for direction finding but was puzzled why my iphone 13 mini could achieve advanced tracking when my 16 and 15 Pro couldn't. What a waste of time

I get that with texts too and now have 2 unread messages that will never be removed from the notifications badge

for the second time, I have found a massive missing gap of photos from ~5 years go in my Photos Library, that Apple straight up lost. Thankfully, I was backing up to Google Photos, so they aren't lost. But... damn!

we are in the early days of "organic software", where features can be (safely and correctly) added and altered at such a pace that it feels like apps are in constant motion. I know, b/c I've been working on apps like this.

The writing was on the wall months ago when RFK wanted to put everyone with mental illnesses and addictions on work farms. They want to address the labour shortage due to deportations with indentured servitude. This is Nazi shit. And it only gets worse.
