Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power.

Anyone who has experience in an abusive household, or who has worked with people in them, or has read a lot about them, will be familiar with a particular dynamic: Dad is full of loud passions & intense moods, sweeping through like a thunderstorm, unpredictable, volatile, often violent. He is ...

Dutch late night TV has its take

God dammit. Timing couldn’t be worse but here goes. Chuck Schumer and I are launching our new podcast “Soul Deep: A Weekly Deep Dive Into the Music of Collective Soul” tomorrow. I do NOT support his latest decision and want to make clear this is strictly a music podcast. Please check it out

Supreme Court rules 6-3 that Teslas are priced to move with $0 down and no payments for 48 months

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms. The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling

Really interesting read about DeepSeek’s strategy vs OpenAI’s. It seems like the constraints placed on China’s access to chips just forced them to be more innovative.

The dystopian films never show the part where you're just hoping the bad guy is too stupid to accomplish his goals

Man, the number of times this thing is showing me pictures of retro-themed PS5 controllers is excessive. I get it, they exist. I don't need multiple, nearly identical, pictures of a PS1 controller next to a PS5 controller
