Updating my LEGO White House

Sports Gambling is brutal, as someone who could easily slide into the addictive habit, we just don’t need this on our phones at all times Also after watching folks play etabs at the bar, (including me!) we don’t need more If you make folks go to a casino to sports bet at least there’s a barrier

"Hey boss, what should we do for the cover image on our new missile defense puff piece?" "Maybe something subtle and upbeat." "How about we superimpose the Death Star on America?" "Perfect!"

Even more exciting, DynamoDB is now available in us-east-1.

ChatGPT’s new Atlas browser doesn’t just see what you read — it remembers it. @eff.org’s Lena Cohen showed me it even logged “memories” of her looking for *abortion care* and her doctor’s name. Out-surveils even Chrome. My @washingtonpost.com column: wapo.st/49bOcVC

The Epstein Ballroom it is

Never mind every other single abominable or corrupt thing to this miserable moment, the extrajudicial and unevidenced execution of 34 human beings by the U.S. Navy on the orders of a U.S. President acting in peacetime is sufficient for his impeachment and conviction. If we were a republic, I mean.

Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have added $1,000,000,000,000 to the US national debt just since August, according to a new report from Trump’s own Treasury Department. It’s getting harder and harder to be shocked by what these dangerously incompetent hypocrites do, but holy cow.

This is very good

"They're not just paint on steps, but a way to say that God's love will not be silenced."

700,000+ new food bank users. Unsustainable. Impossible. Unconscionable. Crime is gonna increase like whoa.

I mean, fuck it. Just bulldoze the whole White House. Melt the Statue of Liberty. Knock over the Washington Monument. Wreck the Lincoln Memorial. None of it means shit anymore.

The primary advantage of using Signal over WhatsApp is that Signal does not store metadata. Just sayin'. www.forbes.com/sites/the-wi...

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

it remains utterly baffling to me that a party whose leadership is historically unpopular with its base gets a generational political talent who is actually resonating with people and instead of thanking their lucky stars they’re like WE MUST STOP THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS

I love that we’re all unanimously like “listen that building is not sacred to me and it has a bloody history and if it came down ethically I probably wouldn’t shed a tear, but watching this man smash a wrecking ball into the side of it from sheer selfish malice has unexpectedly fucked me up”

it was la. then dc. then chicago. now san francisco. begging people to pay attention to what’s happening. it’s not just *somewhere else*—it’ll be your city soon.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport. Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably? But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

The husband messages me every day that Ruth Bader Ginspurr steals his chair the moment he gets up. The obvious solution was to get her a chair of her own. Look how proud she is of her throne

"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA" * article explains he was shot by an ICE officer whose weapon discharged when he used it to smash a car window

it is weirdly shocking that he can just ... tear down a big chunk of the White House. Like, motherfucker, you don't *own* the place.

Important subtext: Hard to oversell how rare this precise Christian coalition is, and how unusually defiant this letter they're signing is.

Freaking understatement! "While it may push people to move, it’s unlikely to help them find stable housing." www.statesman.com/news/politic...

ChatGPT is not the same as the computer revolution. At least with the computer, we still had to think critically about what to search and analyze the content we found. Those are skills. ChatGPT is pitched as an indefatigable solution. Enter in a prompt, the answer *is provided*. That’s not a skill.

It’s not an over-exaggeration to say that ChatGPT is killing academic rigor, among students and faculty. This is not necessarily because what ChatGPT inherently is, a tool, but because of how it and other AI is pitched, a cure-all panacea.

Hundreds of people protesting ICE in downtown manhattan right now. Reads and Broadway. NYPD cops in riot gear on scene.

The holy war begins

ALWAYS BE RESKEETING #DUNESKEETS

ICE stepped up activities in NYC today and New Yorkers were not having it. (Seen on @keithboykin.bsky.social threads)

Motion to replace “boys will be boys” with “why the fuck has not one single adult man in these underage boys lives taught them how to behave decently?”

nothing fundamental is going to change about the life you’ve already built for yourself unless you make it. it’s happening right now

"How dare you call us Nazis!"

Like, it'll be "today i wrote a story called 'The Emperor's New Clothes" and on the same entry there'll be a little +. Just sitting there. Letting you know Hans made literary history AND gave himself a quality hand shandy that day.

Hans Christian Andersen, the master of fairytales, kept a diary most of his life. It's full of his hopes, worries, ideas and dreams. Oh yeah. And any entry marked with a + is a day when he'd had a good wank. (Lot of drama and angst on here rn so thought i'd put that bit of history in your feeds)

aaaaaaaand it turns out the answer to "how TF did some guys with a ladder steal the French crown jewels" is "cuts to arts funding mean the Louvre is massively understaffed"

"How do we get back the men we lost to Trump, Andrew Tate, and the Proud Boys?" Please do not bring those weird ****ers over here. We have kids over here. I will call Child Services.

The Trump administration is adamant that people not take or share photos of the White House destruction, so please keep this photo amongst us. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Call me a luddite if you like - but I don't want a bed that stops working when Amazon Web Services goes down. www.dexerto.com/entertainmen...

Federal agents from ICE and HSI—some in military fatigues and masks—descended on Chinatown today in an aggressive and reckless raid on immigrant street vendors. Once again, the Trump administration chooses authoritarian theatrics that create fear, not safety. It must stop.

I’m like genuinely, personally pissed off about Trump just wrecking the East Wing of the White House. And I generally don’t care about shit like this. Democrats should be screaming about this, standing near the destruction, asking if anyone who loves the country would ruin the people’s house.

Good God.

Yesterday, Stephen Miller questioned details re 170+ Americans detained by immigration agents. “Abject lies,” he wrote. Here’s the thing: We tracked, catalogued, and compiled every one of those 170+ cases. Because...we do our homework. propub.li/4o2eeiL

NEW — I'm suing DC Metro Police for the full body cam footage from the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace back in March. The public deserves to know why MPD chose to sell out the people they’re tasked with protecting in order to bend to Trump's will. I'm repped pro bono by @rcfp.org. Details:

Nobody is really prepared for when we go cyber-hot with China. Society is going to halt.
