Pity the US doesn't allow snap elections. It could come in handy right now.

I don't know about you, but I only use premium paid ways of restarting my phone.

I'm going to keep trying to make "Trump = National Socialism" happen. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-t...

Straight to Terminal B - no parking, no tolls, no traffic. We need so much more of this in the US. Electric would be nicer, & 10 yrs was too long to build. Today my city is floating the idea of pulling completely out of the network and closing the new stations opened this week. So incredibly dumb.

Riding the new train to DFW this morning. 🚆✈️

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Paxton keeps the race for the dumbest human alive extremely competitive.

$300+ for a day one year from now walking on concrete while noises bounce off metal stands from multiple stages in all directions? It truly is a sick new world.

omg! "Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House... "Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Are all the crazies disappeared off the Earth yet? Promises were made.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

I liked this song when it came out because of its relevance to the situation we were experiencing and its potential conclusion. Now, it's just a documentary. music.youtube.com/watch?v=3w0q...

I've heard many espouse the idea that there are no morals without religion, which is easily disproven. What is not being acknowledged is the growing trend of simply substituting morality with blind religion, which has historically resulted in tragedies of epic scale.

Say what you will about the cringe factor of Google's announcement event, but I'd much rather prefer that experience to Apple's ultra sterilized, AI-sounding human robotic presentation machines existing in barren landscapes and buildings.

Once upon a time, no one knew what was coming on TV unless they purchased a publication every single week from their local market. That was a thing.

My entire life the pattern has been 1. Republican president ruins economy. 2. We elect Dems to fix it. 3. Republicans obstruct pace of progress and people get frustrated with Dems. 4. We elect a Republican president 5. Go back to step 1.

Remind me how this brings back manufacturing, cause I'm not getting it. share.google/1CqEV8tQjssh...

Build here, but also if you do we'll raid your factories. Conveniently, it's also an EV producer (one of the best right now), so maybe ICE is doing double duty standing for internal combustion engines too. What a(nother) disgrace. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Reagan was malleable - he let conservatives and rich friends tell him what to do because he had celebrity status and no real experience. The bad advice initially created a recession, and then the economy transformed into a gigantic debt machine. Now we get the same, supercharged by ego and weakness.

If there's anything good to come out of AI in education, it would be the forced requirement to actually work with students in the classroom again instead of just talking for a while and assigning homework every day.

Concerning.

Give it a few weeks to start feeling it, but this is going to have a huge impact soon. www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/b...

thinking about the fast, efficient driverless cars we should’ve had decades ago

In the age of AI, faking it IS making it.

You don't have to be filthy rich to be a monster in tech. You can also believe you'll get rich by being one, too, and get a head start.

Incompetence rarely advertises itself so plainly.

"Insiders tell TechCrunch that for all the popularity and hype around AI coding assistants, they can actually be massively money-losing businesses (b/c) it cost more to run the product than the startup could charge for it. This is due to the high costs of using LLMs…" techcrunch.com/2025/08/07/t...

Imagine a future where you can be as unhinged as on Twitter, but with a local flair. Everyone can rant and spout conspiracy theories about the construction down the street together or weirdos that walk or ride bikes instead of using cars (suspicious). Welcome to the future: welcome to NextDoor.

Look on the bright side: in Britain, he lost 148 pounds.

Looks like the market is finally getting hit with some reality. We all knew this for months, didn't we?

Quote the payments, ever more.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Used AI as a double-check to see if I missed anything about a certain topic in a 60pg PDF. Surprisingly, it found a few details I didn't see. I asked where to find it, and got the wrong page. In fact, the excerpts didn't exist - it completely hallucinated. This is the part of AI that truly sucks.

Cars kill people every day, and people are just kinda fine with it. Another sign of the pervasive US culture of apathy. electrek.co/2025/07/20/i...

Lawyers getting busted for fake AI-generated citations shows what’s coming. Experts aren’t verifying AI output, and as non-experts adopt these tools, it’ll only get worse. We’ll need new safeguards. The expert being fired won’t be enough when your doctor or lawyer depends on an AI hallucination.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

The first part of the nation he destroyed was that room.

I don't know about you, but I'm getting pretty tired of winning already.

Superman was pretty great. @jamesgunn.bsky.social paid homage to the old films without being overly cheesey while still injecting a good bit of character, and avoided some of the formulaic elements that have been around for the last decade.

2 mil more people voted for Harris in TX than in Michigan. It's a big place, and not at all uniform in votes. If anything, the state is simply a microcosm of the nation and how the system is set up.

Cuts to FAA and immediately planes start to collide. Cuts to NOAA and massive flooding without warning. Cuts to FEMA and slower recovery from disasters. These effects aren't even taking time to happen.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
