“In every dream home, a heartache / and every step I take / takes me further from heaven / is there a heaven?” www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

I also wanted to pull out a special part of the piece: fuck Jensen Huang. By forcing customers to take early delivery of GPUs to boost quarterly revenues, he artificially inflated the price of RAM and every consumer electronic. What he and his hyperscale paypigs have done is morally reprehensible.

Made a little video about my reporting on “Tommy” from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social town hall

Ezra Klein Platforms Chris Rufo and White Nationalism the Right Way -by Ezra Klein

At this point, it seems clear we can now leave aside the “what if” part.

“Sore winner”? SMDH.

Caitlin Flanagan dropping the last tenuous vestige of mask she had. Full-on rape apologia while taking Bari Weiss’ money. Gross.

A whole nation-state, with a huge economy, governed by devolved Temu version of the Roy family from _Succession_. With this much chaos, things could still improve tho. “but there's all this what is it roots / roots roots roots and here's the water / again very queer but I'll go on looking”

Seems like there’s a colorable claim to be made for OpenAI owing Wikimedia Foundation vast sums in actual and punitive damages. Additionally, prosecutors in various jurisdictions may have grounds to file criminal charges. arstechnica.com/security/202...

ABC: “rescind? Wrong verb. Right one is “impound.” And it’s both unconstitutional and illegal. The right verb, and the illegality, need to be in the lede, or we have to assume ABC is either complicit or incompetent. (Or both.)

“Edging for Jesus”

V. excited for planning my future trip to the olive groves of Cornwall. Maybe get some fresh Welsh oranges.

Aaron Swartz took a drastic step in early 2013. Jstor’s current decision makers should consider emulating him now.

Antivax loons irritate me, but even I don’t want to see them FAFO via dying in agony after foaming at the mouth, screaming gibberish, ejaculating through a flaccid penis, etc. etc.

It’s almost as if explicit and clearly-enforced regulations exist for a reason, are written in blood, and are the main difference between functioning societies and failed “shitholes.”

“Drink this Faygo, for it is my blood.”

Alisa Z. Rosenbaum minus ~30 IQ points.

King Leupold would approve of this hire. University of Ghent earning a “certain reputation” here.

This is going to speedrun the destruction of the US economy.

Being too skeevy for Capital One is like being too dead for a vulture to eat. Like being too dishonest to be elected in Texas. Like ….

#wayno unless it’s a #wayho youtu.be/Ws8yMg-seSA?...

Leave it Jake; it’s … the WSJ opinion page.

Syd and Marty Krofft’s “Come and See”

What’s with the proliferation of inauthentic bots and/or thirst-trap onlyfans-adjacent accounts? Just gross.

Sawed-off Telly Savalas impersonator goes on meth fuelled sadism binge.

He doesn’t have awl the cods.

It seems indisputable that tragic gear-gobbling junkie failson roadkill-eating acidhead burnouts make the best public health leaders.

If Krusader Kegsbreath were _trying_ to wreck the US military, what would he do differently?

Swalwell doing Swalpoorly. www.axios.com/2026/04/11/e...

OK but who is the renter of two evils?

Attended a performance of Händel “Messiah” (parts 2 and 3). Was startled to learn that podophilia was a religious topic in 18th-Century London.
