Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Here we combine the fucking stupidest beliefs of tech with the fucking stupidest beliefs of Catholicism to make something even fucking stupider than the sum of its stupid fucking parts.

Saw my buddy Seth Hogue & Geoffrey Brediger, who are volunteering their own time to help save Cleveland’s West Pierhead Lighthouse. Just like Playhouse Square, sometimes it takes a few people to say, β€œThis is worth saving.” No money asked for just a Pledge:https://form.jotform.com/262088882050056

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

3/ The rapid growth of private schools is happening nationwide. We analyzed data from 13 states and found at least 1,500 more private schools than there were 5 years ago. In several states, all or nearly all students pay tuition with taxpayer dollars: propub.li/4w9rOol

When #BlueSky breaks, it's literally scientific to place blame on the children in the company using A.I. to write code. Slop code fucked them up, and it's always the case.

β€œThe Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

I recently encountered this gem, and it made me realize after 32 years of being alive, that actually putting carp in bathtub is not a thing people all over the world do. Naturally I wanted to share this unhinged custom(which I thought is just a thing everyone experienced) with people.

A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer. Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

Growing up as a teen in the 2010s I heard a lot about how 'dystopian' the Internet controls were in China but between what's been happening with Tik-Tok and the age and ID verification laws the US and UK are in a race to outdo them. I subscribed to Mulvad VPN, but am worried about this global trend.

and our government works hand in hand with them to consolidate power and get more authoritarian. Like people thought Smartphones and Twitter and 3D printers and cheap Linux SBCs and MCU development boards would help us build a real democratic techno utopia, all with support from Intel and Google

Man, the worst thing is I'm working on some very cool stuff with some very cool people and despite that I just feel like shit. Gonna have to unplug for a bit. Be kind to your neighbors and rude to bigots.
