Think about how many hardworking Democrats support many of some of those incumbents that idealists now want to attack for a single vote they didn’t like. The infighting will be vicious. You can’t change a party in one election cycle. It breaks things when you try.

2016 what’s about one thing and one thing only. The Supreme Court. But Bernie Sanders and his supporters just had to reach for the brass ring at exactly the wrong moment in history and Trump-fuck all of us for over a decade. The 2026 midterms are also about just one thing: winning back control […]

This is exactly what I was afraid of the people would think that Mamdani’s success in NY, which is completely unlike any other part of the country, would suddenly make wildcard candidates attractive to the stylish Liberal. That race was an outlier. This way be dragons. And if we don’t stop this […]

.@Invisibleteam has lost the plot. At a time when we need solidarity to ensure that we roll over the GOP, the last thing we need is primary bullshit likely to cost us seats, and do nothing but create acrimonious infighting. All while making us look like we can’t find a priority with a flashlight.

Sorry @indisibleteam, your reach now exceeds your grasp. This is exactly the divisive, low-margin politics that helped destroy the @GOP, and it will end just as badly for Democrats. I’ve been a supporter for years, but I’m now stepping off. I didn’t sign up to be a Justice Democrat.

RE: https://todon.eu/@kris/115549905875665784 It’s hard to love something that is potentially this problematic for humanity, but when I put that aside and focus only on its use as a tool for shaping my ideas, projects, and code, I like it a whole lot. It’s hard to dislike something indispensable.

Read mores are a feature of your Mastodon instance. But news to me that they’re opening up another column. (Typically only the first item in a thread does that). Can you please show me a screen up of this post , and that new column when you click read more?

I won’t be doing that. I’d rather find out what’s wrong with your interface. Because what you’re reporting should not be happening. Again screenshots and knowing what platform you’re talking about would help. I know you are Mastered on social but I don’t know what client you’re using (web […]

I am not sure what you’re saying. Can you please give me a screenshot because that behavior is nothing I’m aware of ? What browser are you using or are you talking about a mobile interface ?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@patricos/115548676718424658 True. And probably always been true thruout history. But initiative has come to a halt in America. Few ever start anything except at the local level, and those are small scale efforts. Nobody proposes anything large or impactful that will […]

Exactly. And there’s virtually no effort by almost anyone to challenge any of it. We’re not even sheep. At least they make some noise when they’re led to slaughter. We just swipe left and wait for the next abuse. We don’t even seem to have the good sense to be ashamed of ourselves.

Every damn day, I experience something else in some category of tech or society that is so appallingly bad, if not predatory and reckless, that I just marvel at how we’ve all completely surrendered our lives to preventable bullshit. Abuse that could be […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Question: The @GOP is being led by Donald Trump, Stephen Miller and a handful of others. Just who do you believe is directing any kind of opposition (silently or openly) to them, or formulating plans to defend our elections? Spoiler: it’s not Chuck Schumer.

We’re just killing alleged “criminals” with no evidence whatever. This is everything those phony MAGA assholes used to call “tyranny.” U.S. Strike Kills 4 on Boat Trump [Says] Was Smuggling ▶ Strike brings the death toll to 80 […]

IN THE END, no matter the evidence, MAGAs aren’t going to give one shit about the #EpsteinFiles. The rules of their cult can’t allow it. The only people who think otherwise are pundits who pretend they understand what people on the Right will do next. They’re usually wrong.

I’m not speaking of the creators of this crap. We can’t do much about them. Rather, those who amplify it, thinking it’s all fine so long as the content takes potshots at the Right. Many of them are very popular accounts on major platforms. They rarely get any criticism of it.

I have this theory that most people who maintain that they read and listen to diverse sources, are fibbing to themselves because they want to believe it. It takes a lot of work to stay informed from many sources and most simply don’t do it. They just say they […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A hallmark of the Left’s failure to do little well (except shit on Democrats), is there are no NGOs spending a dime doing anything to make the White House stooges fear what’s going to happen to after this administration is deposed. Pam Bondi should be […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Ugh, even Mark McKinnon and I are on the same page about the shut-down and ACA. Yep, a lot of folks will be hurt. Millions. But Republicans were going to hurt them anyway. Now it’ll be easier to make them pay for it. If we ever have another fair election, anyway. A big if.

What they don’t say is they I finally found a way to make Windows overcome it’s many structural inadequacies. Just let natural language patches replace coded patches. And that will be a step up on one level, but a step off the cliff on another.

This guy runs the Windows unit at Microsoft, and he's telling you that the company intends to infiltrate "AI" into every aspect of the operating system. If you use Windows, this is an injection of a living, self-replicating virus into your digital existence. Yes I use Linux.

I’m not one to typically praise theists or theism, but two of the most moral people I read or listen to are @bluegal.bsky.social and @driftglass.bsky.social (@proleftpodcast.bsky.social). They can consistently be enraged by almost everything around us, yet […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

We’ve all become so predictable on the Left. Our outrage, humor, narratives, and even what we pretend to care about can be as scripted as any 2nd rate Hollywood film. It’s gotten so bad, I don’t think any of us are taking most of us seriously anymore. We all became so determined to defend our […]

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the Left has followed the Right straight into the gutter. Few speak of decent behavior anymore. And those who do get little amplification. We have allowed the Right drag us down to their level. I fear we may never rise back up again.

Not going to single out any one offender, but if the Left keeps using AI like this, we lose any moral standing to criticize the right when they do worse. Please tell creators you follow to stop this idiocy. It’s not how we win. We just look as morally bankrupt as they are.

I’d like to repeat what I just said in private. Stop thinking there is even a shred of a chance that this GOP is not going to hurt people. They WANT to hurt people. They WANT to crush the ACA. They WANT to crush SNAP. Just as they wanted to crush the federal government. Just as they WANT to […]

She figured out what Marge figured out. There’s a small window of opportunity for mild resistance to the GOP agenda. But I bet she doesn’t have the staying power that Marge does.

No, the strategy is not to “move to the right and embrace the journey,” but it sure as fuck is winning elections. Because if we don’t win them, there’s nothing left to win. https://mastodon.social/@shoq/115538066176044085

So, didn’t believe me that the shut down finale was a win, despite the typical (and usually wrong) mass-hysteria? If @LAWRENCE didn’t convince you, maybe @rachelbitecofer can? https://thecycle.substack.com/p/reality-bites

The only people who didn’t see the country fairly evenly divided on this issue were influencers on on Threads, Twitter, and Bluesky. All you had to do was step out in the fucking Street and speak to people to know that much of the conventional wisdom was total bullshit

As I expected, this poll shreds much of the conventional wisdom about the shut down (and “deal:). Especially the myth that the country was lining up behind the shutdown. Spoiler: it wasn’t. How Americans are responding to the government shutdown […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I only partly answered your question earlier because I only wanted to pass on AI’s answer. But I know some of the others. Photonic computing is already coming out of the lab and will be in mass production within 3 of 4 years. It will lower the cost of AI compute by 30 times or more. And that’s […]

It’s showtime! #EpsteinFiles

There are a lot of downsides. It’s only natural for the media to focus on them because they tend to sell more papers, so to speak. And not many people are interested in the details of most technology and really never have been. With or without AI, we have to solve our energy needs anyway […]

FYI, every major tech shift has demanded grid growth — electrification, factories, data centers, and now EVs. The difference is scale and speed: AI power use is rising faster than any past digital loads, forcing utilities to expand generation and transmission years ahead of schedule. It […]

No, synthetic liquid, like mineral oil or engineered fluorocarbon fluids. They don’t conduct electricity, so hardware (chips) run safely while fully submerged. The tech was developed for mainframes in the ’60s, but upgraded in the last decade as GPU temps have soared.

It’s answer for you: “AI data centers use huge amounts of energy and water, but solutions are rapidly emerging. The biggest are renewable-only power sourcing, liquid immersion cooling, better chip efficiency, and training smaller, specialized models instead of giant general ones. Long term, the […]

The mother of all social media authoring tools, which we plan to release one of these years 😄

Sorry about that. We seem to have an API issue. We’re working on it

RE: https://mastodon.social/@NeverFiftyOne/115532921977304624 Because we just didn’t have much evidence of that :)

Testing.

HAHAHA. Now THAT’s funny. (And yet, also not funny at all).

I wish I could offer comfort, but I can’t. We have a few tools of opposition, such as Indivisible, but they have meager funding as compared to the right, and operate independently of almost anyone else. There’s little consensus driving their actions.
