axios.comScoop: Trump plans to drop "weaponization" fundTrump's proposal has drawn bipartisan pushback in the GOP-led House and Senate.

This will just go underground and likely be threaded through any number of pork-stuffed bills or, more likely, "executive orders" - i.e. missives from the Emperor. www.axios.com/2026/06/01/t...

It helps that I don't think anyone wanted the Grogu movie. Maybe young kids will enjoy it, but it shouldn't have been put out for theatrical release this far out from the TV show's waning popularity.

The fact that two low-budget horror films have beat out an actual Star Wars movie in the box office makes me so damn happy.

nytimes.comCoding After Coders: The End of Computer Programming as We Know It

There's an element in vindication here. For years, smug shithead capitalists told all the struggling people out there wishing they could join some version of a middle class to just "learn how to code." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/m...

I always knew AI would create plain-English coding and blow up that entire world. And now what? What used to be a supposed "obvious" path to higher wages and opportunities is vanishing. And AI takes; it does not give back. AI is not creating new jobs. Anyone who tells you that is bullshitting.

Imagine how different everything would be had the U.S. enthusiastically embraced renewable energy back when Carter put solar panels on the White House or when James Hansen first testified about climate change before Congress in 1988. For one thing, over 150 Iranian schoolgirls would still be alive.
