This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

This is a fantastic summary of what is going on and my hypothesis for the future. youtu.be/8qX9qPA9vs4?...

How the Clawdbot/Moltbot AI Assistant Becomes a Backdoor for System Takeover | Straiker #devopsish

Full agentic workloads are not mathematically possible - arxiv.org/pdf/2507.07505 Folks are chasing phantoms. Instead, use LLMs to build secure services using Claude Code.

One day the industry will recognize the drawbacks of AI agents and nondeterministic automation, and rediscover the UNIX philosophy of chaining together small purpose built tools in a low cost and predictable way, otherwise known as shell scripts.

I find it entertaining that the market somehow thinks the Fed appointment will somehow change the currency debasement problem.

The probability that this administration will interfere with the next election is very high at this point. They are staring down a double-barreled shotgun right now.

Howard Lutnick is a fucking moron, Trump is a fucking moron, everyone in this administration is a fucking moron.

If you aren't following @carlquintanilla.bsky.social I honestly don't know what to say. You are wasting this apps potential.

Trump administration on everything: "Don't believe your lying eyes, video proof, paper trail, etc."

A friend just pointed me to this site if you want to figure out how to help. www.standwithminnesota.com

2026 IMO, I'm prepping for winter.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

As a father of a son with ADHD, I'm completely convinced that our education system is completely broken. Yet, we continue to march our kids through a broken system that ill-prepares them for the realities of the real world. WHY?

Every day with this administration is a new low or a lesson in cognitive dissonance, and I can't believe there are 3 more years of these fucking idiots! Make competency great again!

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

For the first time in nearly 16+ years, my daily driver is no longer a Fedora AMD-based machine.

The last gasp of the boomer generation is truly awful. The economy, democracy, culture... There will be an epic wake of shit that future generations will need to undue and clean up.

Healthcare costs in the US are out of control. The whole system is FUBAR.

QOTD - 'Production Grade Agentic Infrastructure' I think I will put my 'jumbo shrimp' in a 'plastic glass' before I put on some 'icey hot' and engage in 'intense apathy'.

Safe travels #KubeCon people! I know flights have been a problem.

I don't agree with Rand Paul on many issues, but this speech is solid - youtu.be/X4xcHLsDX9Y?...

Reminder: The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Prodding everyone to look up Scott Bessent’s wealth. 🤡 www.forbes.com/sites/kylemu...

We've bet our whole economy on LLMs, and that was a bad move. I'm now 100% convinced that the current systems are a dead end, and I will need to exit safely soon. The run-up may continue, but doom today or doom tomorrow... It's still DOOM!

Go on LinkedIn, watch everyone complain about AWS being down, then I find some great gems about how you failed to architect your systems. This is classic failure-domain analysis and understanding your MTTR. If your service is down, don't blame the cloud provider; blame your architect.

Ahhh amazon...

This isn’t an administration. It’s a crime syndicate.

You know it’s bad when the Dept of Labor says immigration raids are “threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers.” @opinion.bloomberg.com #CPI www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

As us-east1 adds to it's history of outages. Just a gentle reminder that we solved multi-region A/B clustering many moons ago.

J.D. Vance says it's OK to joke about gas chambers, rape, and "watermelon people", but if you quote Charlie Kirk you'll get your VISA revoked

QOTD: China has decided to invest in solar, electric cars, and devices of all kinds. We've decided to bet the farm on LLMs, even though we don't have the infrastructure to support the demand.

The three most dangerous white men on earth today

Nothing about the escalation of this 'trade war' is strategic. In fact, there seems to be only downsides in most scenarios... So why are we doing this? Because of one single idiot who can't see past his own ego. This is a level of insanity that is difficult to quantify.

The misanthrope in me wants to buy a small farm in Canada and live there for the next 3 and a half years.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Why does the media even interview politicians anymore? It should just be the facts and logistics in a news piece; everything else is just bullshit.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )
