Thomas Hobbes? This on "The Prehistoric Psychopath" is GREAT! I've I've sat on this for days til I had time: The prehistoric psychopath - "Thomas Hobbes said that life in the ‘state of nature’ was nasty, brutish, and short, because cooperation was so difficult." worksinprogress.co/issue/the-pr...

This Colombian 212 ft training flagship, ARC (Armada Nacional de la República de Colombia) Gloria, is going to be here for our abbreviated fleet week. Should arrive tomorrow morning! I want to get some pictures while it comes to Port :) www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/detai...

"I was in my hotel room, retracing Berners-Lee’s past across the network he'd built. Some links were broken, but Internet Archive filled the gaps. Next month, in SF, the org will honor Berners-Lee with its Hero Award, to mark the trillionth page its crawlers have downloaded from his World Wide Web."

“If creators who are actually producing aren’t going to reap the rewards, what’s going to be the initial economic incentive?”

Lina Khan: “These companies are basically free-riding off of the content and production of others. A millennial like the web itself, she is concerned not only with the platform economy’s unfairness but also its threat to online creativity."

"They grew at breakneck speed, squeezed sellers, served ads & extracted value from users while making exit ever costlier. They bought out rivals and turned into monopolies: between 2007 and 2018, Wu notes, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon collectively acquired more than a thousand firms."

"Berners-Lee’s escape hatch is Solid Protocol, whose mission is to revolutionize the web by giving users control over their data. He launched a company, Inrupt, in 2017. “We can build a new world in which we get the functionality of things like FB & IG. And we don’t need to ask for permission.”

"Sir Tim has written “This Is for Everyone,” with Stephen Witt. It might have been a victory lap, but for the web’s dire situation—viral misinfo, addictive algorithms, escalating disruptions of A.I. In such times, Berners-Lee can no longer be Cincinnatus. He has taken up the role of Paul Revere."

It's so crazy how you can look at a video now, and it can be fake in about seven different ways. Clickbait or rage bait or photoshop or filter or misinformation or wrong source or artificial intelligence or misattribution. What a nightmare.

I am once again asking why these data centers are all fucking SECRETS "A controversial plan to build a 2.2-million-square-foot data center on farmland may still happen. A rural community... is looking to settle a lawsuit recently filed by a development firm working for an unidentified tech giant."

Hey journalism is not doing the job. I want to debate trump. Make that happen everyone. I'm a random person that wants to debate the president. Let's go.

If ICE agents are proud of what they're doing, then why do they cover their faces like cowards, refuse to identify themselves, and hide behind anonymity?

AI is the death of human culture. Artists, writers, and musicians should refrain from distributing their work on the Internet, as I have done.

To all you darling and simple sports fans, of Saturday and Sunday, you do realize the human body did not evolve to be run into?

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

Sundays are for napping. Photos from my collection, ca. 1960s.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

The earth needs approximately 6 to 9 people to be murdered for the human race to come together and flourish.

It's literally about seven people that we need to get rid of on this planet or for the human race to flourish. We just need to put seven people on a spaceship. Let's get rid of those people. 8 billion people can get rid of about seven people. Let's do it.

It makes me cry. Not just losing a human friend, but it's really that if we put about seven people on a spaceship this Earth could be saved.

And I'm her on that. Put all the ultra-obscene-filthy rich on that space ship, even the so-called "good" ones.

Very wise lady. We should listen. She is very pro earth. She’s very pro democracy. She wants to put Trump, Putin, Xi, and Netanyahu on a one way flight into space. 🐒 Oh Jane, I miss you.

Stephen Miller is a psychopath.

Stephen Miller is a psychopath.

Fuck conservatives. Seriously. Progressives are just trying to be kind. You can make fun of somebody that is panicked about misgendering a dog, but it's literally kindness that you're making fun of, you assholes.

If you encase absolutely anything in dough, a man will be thrilled from any culture on the planet earth.

All the absurdity aside, it's the unbridled nature of stupid hubris that Trump thinks he can settle a 4000-year-old land War with mob tactics.

Fine wine. Don't crack and all that, but he was shafted for so long. Legend. Hand that rocks the cradle, Oz, leviathan... But his work in the crow was so great!

New Taylor Swift lyric just dropped: “His love was the key that opened my thighs”

Trump is breaking the 1st, 4th, and wants to end the 14th amendment. He has been by deporting people born in the U.S.A. www.independent.co.uk/news/donald-...

Breaking News 💯💥

Think of being self-aware enough to forfeit your job to not want your photo part of history, or the digital realm to blood thirstily tear your world apart. Maybe it was righteous. Maybe they just want to be able to go to the farmers market on Sundays.

A Fair Question That Deserves A Legitimate Answer….

32 year gap. How is not mentioned? "Karoline Leavitt — pregnant before marriage, engaged in December 2023, had a baby in July 2024, and married a rich man 30+ years older than her. Constantly lectures the country about Christian values and the dangers of immorality" www.thelist.com/1867959/karo...

#ICE... #NeverForget? #WeForgot

It really is amazing how often you can repeat something Trump said verbatim without identifying Trump as the person who said it and Trump supporters will say it’s the dumbest thing they’ve ever heard.

The conservative movement runs on nothing but ginned up outrage bait that has a half-life of exactly one week

Genuinely incredible how unprofessional these guys are. One dude yelling in your face and you immediately assault them on camera?

Become familiar with "white fatigue".

my wife is a Cal fan and apparently this week they’re putting a “59” on their football helmets to honor the 59 Nobel laureates tied to Cal in order to flex on Duke this is maybe my favorite dunk anyone has ever done on Duke

Sounds like same procedure as with Portland/OR! Agree to mobilize troops under Title 32 or we'll federalize under Title 10

"Because of our knowledge of Psychopathic Personality Disorder... it is fair to say that Trump is more dangerous than even his strongest critics proclaim." unprecedented.ghost.io/archive/the-...

“The construct of psychopathy is understood generically as a type of personality disorder characterized…by the presence of behaviors that conflict with the social, moral, or legal norms of society, giving rise in many cases to clearly criminal behaviors…” pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

The prevalence rate of psychopathy in the general adult population is 4.5%. That’s about one out of every 22 adults. In case anyone was wondering. Psychopathy is often more concentrated among people in leadership positions.

Re-posted from Robert Reich: Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

The fellow who ran 60 minutes resigned some time back in April after CBS settled with trump. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

So it is going to be "Stupid Kent State"?

gonna be real weird if Trump manages to reinstill urban pride in the greater metro areas through sheer negative polarization
