My favorite comment on the FT story

Enjoying an unhurried and delightful meal at The Table Of Success. My waiters keep bringing me off-menu amuse bouches "from the chef." Ah here comes another crudo. Sublime.

A big ❤️ to the cry-babies and the haters. Never stop never stopping www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/u...

Math teachers at Cienega High School in Arizona are facing death threats and calls that they be fired after a Turning Point USA employee falsely accused them of wearing Halloween costumes mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

This is a fun chart! The green is the main bsky load balancer traffic throughput from Saturday night, and the purple is how much traffic there was 7 days before (the previous Saturday) The spike is due to the world series - pretty incredible! ⚾

"The video cut O'Donnell's final question: "So not concerned about the appearance of corruption with this?" "Also omitted was Trump's stammering reply: "I can't say, because — I can't say — I'm not concerned. I don't — I'd rather not have you ask the question." #Pinks

baseball broadcast directors fucking live for the slow motion raspberries shot. they dream of that shit

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review. This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month. Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

If I see as much as a single video edit I’m suing for $10 billion. Your move, CBS.

A journalist has to figure out that the easiest way to trip up any GOP politician or talking head is to take a real thing a Republican did, and ask it about a Democrat. "Some are saying it's acceptable for a Democrat to use taxpayer dollars to charter a private plane to go on a date. Do you agree?"

Someone should use an LLM to make a left leaning wikipedia. And an even lefter one than that. As a bit

Hey folks: Be careful out there tonight. I bought a razor blade and it had a Snickers in it.

[1/9] Excited to share our new paper "A Pragmatic View of AI Personhood" published today. We feel this topic is timely, and rapidly growing in importance as AI becomes agentic, as AI agents integrate further into the economy, and as more and more users encounter AI.

that’s right beg you miserable worm

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

Nearly 100% of people have a worldview built on social proof

Pathetic and depressing how dishonest the framing is. The vast majority who oppose this aren’t NIMBYs? This definitionally isn’t our backyard? The problem is he’s tearing down a national symbol on an autocratic whim, building a palace overtop it, naming it for himself, and funding it with bribes.

"American law exists to create a condition of constant titillation for people whose material needs are never unmet, but whose appetites have been teased into a state of ungovernable sadism by sloganeering and advertising that promises a return to a world that never existed and never will."

Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

If you always have something new, there is no time to point out all your old stuff is failing.

I could do with a little more “dog has little paw boots and walks funny”

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

Ground to dust, ik, but: "President Obama broadcasts video of himself shitting on Tea Party protesters, then proceeds to destroy parts of the White House for his big party room." Leads immediately to civil war.

My mistake, you are correct! I generated the file, but I did not give you a download link — let me go get it for you [pretends to walk down stairs behind couch]

mr trump as your comms strategist i can only encourage you to keep depicting yourself as a mad king dumping shit on people

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

this is what using social media in the last 15 years has felt like to me

"If you ever needed proof that woke elites are targeting the conservative way of life, well, here it is. Politico, that infamous, Marxist rag, published 2,900 pages of private text messages—all in an attempt to ruin the lives of our youngest eighteen to forty-year-olds."

Boston looks forward to welcoming the world to our beautiful city, the cradle of liberty and city of champions.

classic trump deal. start with the team getting 10, break it so the team gets 3, negotiate to get the team back up to 8 but you get 1 for yourself at your team's expense. then talk all about how it was 3 under the last guy.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform? Is it...requesting content moderation?

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown. “We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

🎶if you're happy and you know it what's it like

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

I have a theory www.theverge.com/policy/79849...

I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

Two thoughts on gold

From Microsoft to Meta, Amazon to Anthropic, some of the world’s biggest tech groups have signed up to OpenAI founder Sam Altman's huge bet on artificial intelligence. The deals total near $1tn — even as OpenAI burns through cash.
