Honestly, Hating the Computer is a critical motivator in developing better software. I do not trust anyone who does not - at least a little bit - Hate the Computer.

i believe people when they say linux has gotten better in the last few years. what i'm skeptical of is that linux Guys have improved. i will not use an OS where i'm at high risk of someone calling me stupid for not liking some aspect of the experience. i must be allowed to hate the computer

Double entendre title of the week. This book is from 2005 and appears to be from a UK or HK publisher but I really think someone should have told them.

The judge also wrote that the DOJ can't "use its administrative subpoena power to achieve what the Administration cannot accomplish through legislation: the elimination of medical care that Washington and other states explicitly protect.” www.autonomynews.co/doj-subpoena...

NEW: Trump's DOJ sent a subpoena to a gender-affirming care clinic seeking information on patients, including minors, and its insurance billing practices. The clinic—which doesn't even take insurance—fought the demand in court and won. Read @garnethenderson.com in @autonomynews.co

Meanwhile the President just yesterday said an assassinated journalist deserved it and celebrated his killer

I think about this every g-ddamn day.

To quote @mcopelov.bsky.social, “‘Who was actually president in 2020?’ continues to be the central cleavage in American politics in 2025.”

It's not based on instincts, but facts, analysis, theory, and modelling. They don't want to hire 3,000 economists, and 3,000 economists don't report to the Fed Chair.

Ah. Well, anyways

that argument ends at the end of a rope, behind a blindfold, or if you're lucky in a brig.

A year later they play dumb as if they had no idea that this is exactly what he campaigned on. They think we're dumb, too.

"By the way, the NVIDIA earnings call is later today," Musk interjects, laughing, as the camera is still panning and Huang is still leaning toward the Tesla CEO, in order to be seen in the picture. Huang briefly deflates at this comment. Totally bizarre moment. Wild.

Musk says that 10-20 years is "long term to me." A rare admission of the biggest public misunderstanding about him: his brand is that of a long-term futurist, but in reality he's a plate-spinner who rarely thinks farther ahead than the next fundraising round.

this seems like the sort of thing you do to expand an internal revolt already in progress rather than to try to start one

Trump’s blog posts don’t mean shit for state laws. Any state that wants to regulate AI will just do it. The problem is, unfortunately, not many seem to even be considering it in the first place.

This failed 99-1 in the Senate as legislation and there's simply no authority for the president to just do it. Again, a line of text like "no money used in this appropriation can be put toward making executive orders on AI" would have come in handy in the CR

amazing

Luckily, Europe has already said they don’t give a shit what “plans” Trump “negotiates”.

This is Trump trying to force Ukraine into a surrender. Anyone who describes it as anything otherwise is just doing Putin's dirty work, like Trump. archive.ph/Ue1DS

Oh my goodness lmao

The Great Abolition Compromise of 2028: now that ICE has hired the worst cops away we reform local policing & abolish ICE

Massie's prediction that the Administration would use the bogus Trump-directed "investigations" of Bill Clinton and Reid Hoffman as an excuse to continue blocking release of the Epstein files, on the spurious grounds that it's an ongoing investigation, is looking pretty good here

lol

The Boston police chief is not Marcus Thompson, it’s Michael Cox. This video is a heavily edited clip combining three different Black men (including one of Michael Cox) as the same proposed Marcus Thompson. The apartment hallway footage and the white woman is the 2018 racist Key Fob Kelly case

I think about this a lot and I've convinced myself that (almost) none of our current emergency could happen without Roberts' blessing. For my money he's done more to hurt the US than anyone in the country's history by a pretty wide margin. He's way worse than Trump.

Attendees at last night’s White House dinner honoring MBS were all doing business with him and Saudi Arabia. Under Trump, the only normative rule is to gain as much power and money as possible. Power and wealth are honored, even if the honoree has greenlit a brutal murder.

Remember when they were like “Alligator Alcatraz can’t account for 80% of missing prisoners”? What the fuck happened there? Did they ever find those people

The AI boom remains totally dependent on Trump's massive tariff exemption for data center computers, which begs the question of why everyone else should pay for tariff on *their* imports www.apricitas.io/p/the-tariff...

August trade data is in, and computers (mostly for data centers) remain by far the largest exemption from Trump's tariffs Nearly $34B in computers, mostly from Taiwan, were completely exempted from the tariffs
