There’s been a hell of a lot more hand-wringing over lefty politicians associating with Hasan Piker than there was over Gavin Newsom welcoming (and agreeing with) Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro on his podcast. I wonder if that says anything about our politics.

Soon, inshallah

Using your computers while keeping big tech encroachment at bay is a constant battle. NixOS is how I make sure every win is permanent. One day, inshallah, it will be on my phone too.

Former Obama officials just spin a wheel with every possible predatory and extractive industry on it to decide their next career move

US strategic blunder in Iran may ironically prove to be the most effective policy in history for driving the global transition away from fossil fuels.

More than 1.3k RTs on this AI slop image and fabricated caption. Let's have some standards here people

Claude Code leak has been so important against the backdrop of people who have been coding so long they really loved the "force multiplier" of AI-assisted coding. Obviously I could never see their code since they work for real companies. Now I see the code. Now I am, as ever, confirming my priors.

Every single LLM user who sees this will think “but I’m different tho”

How many more times are people going to be allowed to lie about what they did with “AI” (LLMs) before we can dismiss pro-LLM talking points?: youtu.be/0A2SP-QBByI?...

one time I was walking into the bar and saw someone beating the shit out of a guy who was already on the ground and before I could intervene a regular was like, oh, no, he was sticking his fingers into girls’ mouths. see that same kind of thing on here every day

If you ever receive a mysterious call/voicemail from someone in your contacts you don't remember, and you're on iOS, you can maybe figure out who this person is by going to icloud dot com, downloading the vCard file, `cat`ing it, looking at the REV field, then checking your photos around that date

thrilled to point out that this is a hello fresh meal, and she is referring to the couscous here because hello fresh still calls pearl couscous "israeli couscous"

One aspect of AT Proto I really like is the PDS. You can literally just host your own content, independently of the rest of the infrastructure. This is closer Web 1.0 (laudatory)

We straight up live in the 20th century over here. That’s just objectively true

We may be also witnessing myths dispelled in real time about the invincibility of our military. Not that this is the first war we've lost recently, we don't really "win" wars do we, when you really look at it. But right now is the most comprehensive military fuckup in maybe all American history.

The war with Iran is the only mechanism by which Americans have witnessed in decades, for many of us our entire lives, the cruel desires of our ruling class crash against a firm and abiding "no".

Can we please just not turn low-earth orbit into a place where billionaires can unilaterally park whatever fucking bullshit they want up there

Why the USA can't afford anything for you.

If you want to understand US politics, forget the Deep State. It's the Shallow State. A parallel formation of lobbies, political donors, and Ivy-filtered ideologues where actual policy debate happens, often mediated through cash transactions. Far greater predictive power than any notion of democracy

Please don't post on Bluesky. I was cooked. They will cook your ass.

If someone has blocked you, and someone you follow in a list quote-replies that person, that person who you follow's post will simply not appear in your list. Someone you've never interacted can prevent you from seeing posts from people you explicitly follow, and that is Stupid.

one of the finest posts of all time

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

"Anthropic Says" okay discarded

what the actual fuck????

I’m not a believer in AI-inevitability. The future looks like whatever people want it to be. We all have a right to refuse.

The ultimate function of a society is its people and the lives its people live. What more honest gauge is there on this than the highest aspirations of the children?

The. Rise. Of. Cognitive. Surrender. Study finds that people who use GenAI chatbots rely on them 80% of the time, and develop almost no capacity to recognize when a chatbot is feeding them faulty information. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

tilly norwood died as she lived: doing neither, actually

The Claude leak shows you what you get going all-in on vibe coding, produced by the people best positioned in the world to know how to "use it correctly". No "they're using it wrong" here. Once your code is like this, Claude becomes the _only_ way to continue maintaining and building on top of it.

IT'S HAPPENING GITHUB, THE FIRST ENTERPRISE CLOUD SOLUTION TO REACH ZERO NINES RELIABILITY https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ #github

None of this shit is “inevitable”. We can say “no” to the slop and to the countless negative externalities.

i just don’t think it is ”inevitable” that i have to use this

This is NOT what I signed up for

this is what happens when you leave liquid water sitting around in the sun too long

Oh, is there a Spaceball happening?

BREAKING: Iran President Pezeshkian releases a lengthy public letter addressed to the American people ahead of Trump's address, defending its actions, denying it poses a threat, and blaming the U.S. for escalating conflict—while warning that continued attacks will deepen instability and resentment.

In 2023, a new jellyfish was recorded 812m below sea level near Japan. Her name is "St. George's Cross Medusa" and she has a beautiful red stomach in the shape of a cross, as well as 240 some tentacles. She is about 10cm in diameter :)

"criticizing AI use in journalism or other creative industries is classist" NO IT IS NOT there is a class that benefits enormously from cognitive surrender, epistemic warfare, and the enclosure of all hitherto produced culture and it is NOT THE WORKING CLASS

Being bad at something is the first step to being good at something. It's the iron rule and if you can internalize that, you can literally do anything.

Hey did everyone see Clavicular get his ass beat after he challenged a cancer survivor leftist to a jujitsu match, who said as he was choking him out ‘this is for all the bullshit I gotta watch on my fucking feed’… we need more of this not more podcasts

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Iran doing for us what our own govt refuses to do

Youths, may I recommend you look up how the subprime mortgage crisis happened? Just, you know, for science

AI is anti-human. Full stop.

First we give Ilhan Omar the one Gundam we do have. She violently establishes a new world order and post-scarcity economy. We rationally choose to direct our productive capacities towards more Gundams, and begin to establish Gundamciety.
