I wrote for @msnbc.com about what the engravings on the shell casings of Kirk’s shooter represent and where the references originated. Given what we know so far, they suggest a young man who had his brain fried by the irony poisoned, anti-social nature of certain aspects of online culture. /1

Trump is abusing the global economy like a personal stock market scheme. This manipulative prick is wrecking industries and pocketing power while Americans pay higher prices because of his idiotic tariffs. Of course, he never had that authority under IEEPA. He is the living embodiment of grift.

A federal court upheld a ruling invalidating most of Trump’s global tariffs, citing lack of authority under IEEPA. The decision threatens government revenue and businesses. Trump called it catastrophic and vowed a Supreme Court appeal, claiming tariffs remain in effect www.axios.com/2025/08/29/t...

Next up on www.linkandth.ink is a series on the universality of containment, starting with an essay covering life containers (cells); the history of artifacts, from gourds, wineskins, through pots and amphorae, to modern shipment containers; then containment in literature, philosophy and logic.

Meu PROF. #bresserpereira: "Até os EUA enterraram o #neoliberalismo. No Brasil, ainda ecoa no discurso atrasado de empresários e da mídia. Insistir em privatizações, além de anacrônico, é perder a noção de nação, é condenar o país à eterna subordinação." BRASIL SOBERANO 🇧🇷 IR JUSTO JÁ

So I'm like Not actually "on" Bluesky. I have my own PDS, have from day 1. As far as I'm concerned I publish these posts on my own website. Bluesky Social is serializing them but not under any formal agreement. Is there a way to continue reading my Bluesky feed without agreeing to whatever this is?

Did you know? Next month I've got a science fiction girl's love book coming out! And let's be realistic: social media is kinda flakey. The best way to get notified when it's out is to sign up for my mailing list that ONLY sends anything out when there's a new release! news.loveconquersallgames.com

Subpoenas made public this week show the government is demanding doctors turn over a wide range of sensitive, identifiable data about its trans patients — everything from social security numbers to Zoom records, notes, addresses, "everything written or recorded." Our story: wapo.st/4lAnkRy

ATProto is the superior decentralized social network protocol. THAT SAID... denying that its architecture relies on a couple of central components that make it vulnerable to government intervention, in a way the fediverse isn't, is a form of gaslighting.

So, please: 1. ActivityPub fans, be humble about the dilapidated state of tooling for federation, including moderator burnout, scaling, "hug of death", etc, problems. Remember the top 10 instances are 50% of MAU. 2. ATProto aficionados, be realistic about the *current* state of the ATProto […]

Abject fucking humiliation for everyone who works at Apple. They could have merely provided a big headline of building products in the U.S., investing in manufacturing, the bullshit that would count as sufficient appeasement. But this performance? Tap dancing as they build concentration camps?

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Hedge fund guy says the "market has spoken" and folks like him are decamping from NYC to Florida, where they can enjoy 250% increases in real estate values. A perfect encapsulation of why we shouldn't always listen when the market speaks. Such as when FL turns a blind eye to climate chaos.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.
