The rest of the world thinks it's a bubble.

Post a banger that's not in English. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzyO...

We need to formalize this principle and design a test for it. A generic form of "you're not allowed to talk about autonomous robots and Mars colonies unless you can show you can make a basic consumer product that doesn't suck."

The people who needed their own half time show are the same people who needed their own water fountains.

I love the "some of" in the last sentence. "We're cool with a certain level of corruption and graft, but these guys took it a bit too far."

Has he considered children walk in single file to hide their numbers

A significant portion of a software architect's job is preventing this failure mode:

A literal implementation of quis custodiet ipsos custodes. Good for her, but distressing that this is necessary.

Between this and demanding the Senate eliminate the filibuster to pass vote suppression legislation it looks like that Texas Senate election and recent poll numbers really got him wound around the axel about the midterms.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Impeach her for gross violence against the English language in addition to all the rest.

This is the drum I'm always banging. We don't have to change the hearts of diehard bastards to win. We just need the independents & we can win. Frustrated Republicans? Icing on the cake. Politics isn't two sides struggling to steal each other's members; it's a war of attrition over the independents

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

When you need a legendary rock star to do the absolute weirdest thing, accept no substitutes: make it Neil Young. bsky.app/profile/raws...

There's not going to be a White House press event about this. There's not going to be a media blitz about "domestic terrorism" around this incident. No one in the administration will tweet about this. All because white supremacist violence is encouraged by the state.

I think this is correct. It's a meaningful win for the forces of Good, but it's motivated by media strategy, not any sense of remorse or desire to hold anyone accountable for murdering a guy. If Noem goes, it'll be for the same reason: She isn't producing the content Trump and Miller want.

A government making lists of political dissidents and attempting to get them barred from education and employment.

The only acceptable response to fascism:

The EU official who pointed out this administration talks like rapists and abusers nailed it. "Allow me to do whatever I want and nobody will get hurt." "Look what you made me do."

“We’re above the law and there’s nothing you can do about it, plebes.”

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

The overwrought metaphors will continue until the situation improves.

Something evil came to Minnesota and something good and extraordinarily powerful has risen up to meet it

I'm so encouraged to see every city bringing their own unique flavor. LA turned every protest into a block party with food carts, bands, and dancing. Portland brought the surreal inflatable animals. And Minneapolis is so matter-of-fact about "this is just what you do for your neighbors."

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

This situation is pure evil. Goal was $50k, it’s now over $100k and climbing. We’re going to win.

Me 2025: No kings! Me 2026: Except his majesty Frederik X, King of Denmark. May death come swiftly to his enemies.

Newly elected Virginia Dems understand the assignment

Take a TV show about people playing a board game and turn it into a completely different board game is some peak LinkedIn hustle bro culture.

When you've got a mix of guys who just signed up for a government paycheck and wannabe goons who signed up to join a Klan lynch mob, it's not surprising if most of them don't want to freeze their balls off in Minnesota while getting yelled at by Lutheran wine moms.

Good. LFG @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov

I'm coming around to the idea that the right's incapacity for empathy is a critical weakness we can exploit. They can't understand or effectively plan for any opposition, so they largely just...don't.

All the expensive software company AI ads on TV right now fall into two categories: Things you don’t need AI to do. Things AI absolutely cannot do.

It's actually a good thing that previously apolitical normies are finally getting angry and starting to speak out. We need the numbers in the streets and at the polls. If your response to them is "no, fuck you, too late," then you don't actually care about stopping Trump. You're just preening.

Time to join yr local ICE Rapid Response Network. ANYONE can help: RRNs have many needs & ways to plug in at whatever commitment level U can make. Find yr local RRN on-line or ask local immigrants' rights groups. None exists yet? Start yr own w/ just 2 othr ppl! Step-by-step guide here:

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

The accounting pedant in me doesn't like the asset/liability distinction here, but I'm loving the analogy of asbestos for LLM-generated code. Lead pipes works, too. I wouldn't bet against future infomercials for "are you or a loved one affected by GenAI code? You may be entitled to compensation."

“We must protect the children!” is almost always a horrible reason to pass laws and regulations, but the assholes behind this stuff need to get stomped on hard. Encouraging social media companies to remove all trust and safety controls was a huge mistake and a contributing factor here.

To quote the song, "smells like darts and unpaid child support."

"Nobody can stop me." - The real Trump doctrine (Thanks John Roberts!)

When you’re doom posting about how everything is inevitable and no one can stop them, you’re doing their work for them. Stop that

A great data point for all the ahistorical right wing nonsense about us being historically English speaking (or white or “Christian” or homogeneously anything)

Unironically, America fuck yeah.

A top priority for the next administration needs to be a massive law enforcement and forensic accounting effort to trace and prosecute the dirty money flooding DC right now.

Let's combine the dumbest, worst parts of the War on Drugs with the dumbest, worst parts of the Iraq War and see what happens. Wheeeeee.
