12:00 min: "Trump is enamored with AI bots because AI bots are enamored with him. They are programmed to be sycophantic. It would be easy to get Trump to do something horrific by making it look like the AI bot is reinforcing Trump's own plans instead of goading him." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Koos...

If you live in a country where your democratically elected leader can call for another nation to obliterate one of your cities, and you have no ability to remove that leader, then I’m sorry but your democracy isn’t worth shit, and you need to join one of those well regulated militias you talk about.

ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton. she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

“Criminals without borders have moved from hijacking businesses to hijacking nations. Some call them fascists; I avoid this term because being a fascist requires an allegiance to the state. To these operatives, the state is just something to sell.” sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/still-hidi...

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Mamdani is a transformational because he asked the question, what if a public servant actually served the public instead of lobbyists? Both Trump and Mamdani have shown the government can move fast if it wants. The question is whether we want it to move quickly to help us or to hurt others?

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Yeh, all that's left to give it a simple fuck you...

I quite frankly want to see scenes like the end of Fargo where William H. Macy is trying to crawl out a window screaming as the police grab him for some long delayed justice.

The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.

Form a few years ago: Taiwanese designer Yi-Fei-Chen & her ‘Tear Gun’ that collects and freezes actual tears to shoot them back at the person who made her cry.

Photo bomb. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Something tells me News Corp isn't going to run a multi-year targeting campaign against the people who organised and did this. Imagine if this was done by a pro-Palestine or anti-war protestor, and what the reaction would look like, compared to this www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

#CRUvWAR The Tahs Defence — oy! 😕

#CRUvWAR Teddy, my MAN. With Sid sinking the conversion.

Loved listening to him. Still processing. Very close to home.: www.smh.com.au/culture/tv-a...

#CHIvWAR Tahs are such a heart-breaking team. Consistently screwing up their 1% ers. Are they too scared to make mistakes? #Confidence #execution

And they said Iran was full of religious lunatics.

Reminder that Lee wasn't the best Virginian general. By almost any metric it was Union General George H Thomas. R E Lee was the ONLY Virginian Colonel to turn traitor and fight for the Confederacy. @pptsapper.bsky.social and I did a whole pod about all the others. cms.megaphone.fm/channel/the-...

Jesus god if I see one more person talk about how MAGA supporters are becoming disillusioned with Trump without mentioning that literal Neo-Nazis have already worked to radicalize them into the fold and to see Trump as a moderate I’m going to lose my mind.

"MWM has identified 5 charities either sending money to the IDF or to parties associated with illegal #WestBank settlements in Occupied Palestine." The Albanese govt's failure to stop this is in sync with their disregard for international law - when Israel or the US are the perpetrators. #auspol

#BRUvCHI I’ll forgive that missed tackle, Corey.

Probably one of the greatest Good Job Angus Well Done moments was when in 2020 as energy minister he made the decision to store Australia’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve in salt caves in Texas and Louisiana. Angus Taylor is truly our nation’s obvious next Prime Minister. Cannot wait.

Perfect

The thing that drives me craziest about AI is this weird illusion that it will somehow allow you to cheat death. That you can still actually speak to a loved one or that somehow you yourself will be able to live on. We could maybe use some more reverence for the one universal human experience.

The private sector is always more efficient than the public sector...

I took a screenshot of this post last week which predicted layoffs at Atlassian including that it would be spun as AI driven layoffs. Essentially a lot of software companies now have to pay the price for COVID overhiring and AI is a great justification. Block led the way but they won’t be the last

Geez you went Old Testament on his ass
