I did some napkin math, and we're talking about a high speed rail network five times the length of the Shinkansen system, from 2020-2025's investment alone. Can't help wondering how many of these routes we could have built. youtu.be/wE5G1kTndI4?...

spacex buying cursor is the funniest fucking thing i've read in a while

also these transcripts show that you should not be listening to ChatGPT for legal advice lmfao

He’s got a better plan to get out of dinner than Iran…

This is so funny. What if he’s worried this guy can actually read his mind and tell everyone what a big pedophile he is

Classic overreach!

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Feel like I'm speed running learning how local election politics work right now, had no idea about the different "strong mayor" and "city council" systems.

We need to talk a bit about how utterly absurd the March heatwave was in the USA. This heatwave would have been impossible without a boost from climate change, but even with climate change it remains a deeply unlikely event. A thread looking at some of the numbers. 🧵

Montana has figured out a way to put the screws to Citizens United. Good. All states need to do what the gutless SCOTUS won't.

The Trump presidential library should be named "Trump Center for Kids who can't Read Good"

Kalshi and Polymarket remind me of the movie Rat Race

Lt. Sharpe and Sgt. Harper for the win.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

I decided to write about the internals of AI agents and feel like I covered memory pretty well. I'd love any feedback on it if you have it. k-cross.github.io/ai_agents (no trackers are on the site)

$1400 to go to keep this Minneapolis immigrant family in need safe, housed, and out of eviction court! Can you help make this happen for them tonight? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and give if you can! I really appreciate you and I know they do too 🫶🏻

Low key irritated that a crab can mean claw or rust now. They could have picked a different shellfish… maybe it’s okay because there’s like five independent evolutionary paths to crabs

This incredible story underscores, amongst other things, the need for trust and transparency in arching tools, and for web archiving toolchain to be fully open source and archives to be verifiable.

I'm pretty sure Trump meant to call it "Bored of Peace."

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

This is critically important. Without it, the internet as we know it ceases to exist.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

If you're planning on recording federal agents, turn biometrics off on your phone and opt for long passwords instead, EFF’s @legind.bsky.social told @thefulcrum-us.bsky.social. thefulcrum.us/civic-engag...

@schumer.senate.gov instead of making new laws why don't y'all try to enforce the ones we already have?

New study finds that emphasizing collective efficacy (people's ability to catalyze large-scale change) is very effective in catalyzing behavioural change. As you can see from my pinned post, I'm a big fan of simple messages that can mobilize public support for climate action!

This needs to happen at the very least

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

"Chad Joseph, 26, and Rishi Samaroo, 41, both of Las Cuevas, Trinidad, were returning to Trinidad from Venezuela when they and four other people were killed in the strike."

ICYMI: I looked through a published archive of Boston newspapers from the 1760s, when British troops were stationed in the city. The accounts read remarkably similar to what's happening in Minneapolis. radleybalko.substack.com/p/two-cities...

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

He's lecturing everyone on the consequences of actions but fails to recognize the consequences of their actions lmao. When the people, state gov, and local gov all don't want you there, maybe listen?!

Twitter died a long time ago and X isn't worth it. Before I made the jump, my ego was holding me back. I was too concerned with vanity metrics. I finally realized if you're posting stuff people want to follow, then they'll follow you, even when you leave. www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/k...

I sure hope this is wrong but it's better to understand potential strategies they could employ.

If you think ICE is heading to your town, start organizing now. We had a lot of the infrastructure but still have taught so many people things they’ve never had to learn before, about community, mutual aid, etc. I just connected two people yesterday! It’s growing. You could have a head start.

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

LMAO, straight from Jack Smith's report.

I watch the bulk of ashleythebaroness videos, despite rarely sharing them. But this one hit today. And she's right! We're not dealing with some foreign ideology. We're dealing with a uniquely American phenomenon. fascism wrapped in our own flag

They're serving fake "ICE" warrants, know your paperwork.

I've really been enjoying the `devenv` tools for `nix` environments. I've also made it so that AI agents for projects by default must use the `devenv` environment. It's not hardened or anything, but it is nice to be able to destroy environments safely on demand.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

An powerful opinion piece penned by #NIH scientists w/50 yrs of experience in collective civil service. They resigned from their positions recently. They witnessed hypocrisy about speech & freedom in academic research. Early career scientists find their futures in jeopardy. 🧪 archive.today/CGco1

I was really looking forward to this mission…

Make it viral.

science facts that look like shit posts

Does anyone know if there is an explanation for what `jj` does without using the `git` backend? I'd honestly love to read more about it to understand.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
