This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Today, during the peak of our national day of action, the No Kings Coalition Instagram account was taken down and is no longer accessible. This is a clear attempt to silence the No Kings Coalition & prevent future communications. Don't let them silence No Kings. Spread the word.

5. So now transplant all of what's happened in AI lately to any other industry. Suppose a pharma company releases a product that millions of people find useful. They do de minimus testing prior to release. Then they say "turns out this product might kill you, but I can't stop making it."

This is the way.

New: Trump called crypto "thin air." Last year, he reported $1.4 billion in income from it. Buyers of his crypto? They're an estimated $4.7 billion underwater. I made an 8-bit game out of it— 📈 Play as Trump: you cannot lose money. 📉 Play as an investor: you cannot win.

The media won’t tell you this, but I’m an accomplished brain surgeon and particle physicist admired as much for my good looks as for my modesty.

DHS's now amply-documented extensive illegal undercover surveillance of people engaging in First Amendment-protected activities should outrage you. It should be the top story on everyone's radar. This is police-state stuff. Raise your voices!

✅ the MONTH after that! 😭

✅ “next week” ✅ “the week after” - “the week after that” (Though to its credit, for the moment @nytimes have stopped touting vaporware "deals"...but then so have the clowns running this circus. We'll see the Times amplifies the bullshit once the regime re-heats and serves it up.)

Anybody else wondering if AppleTV's teamed up with OpenAI and Anthropic on a Neuromancer promo?

Oh my god they’re really just recycling their Iraq War material like how we try to post our old viral tweets on Bluesky but they never do well.

Bullshit. Blanche deserves to be raked over the coals for his fascist enablement. Anything less isn’t “tough”, and yesterday’s hearing was an occasionally-uncomfortable footbath.

Hi. We're in the Age of Diarrhea. I'm a global health expert on helping children survive diarrhea. Here's what to do if you might have picked up cyclospora. 🧵 1. Call your primary care if possible. 2. Take oral rehydration therapy, which isn't just drinking fluids. 1/

welcome to the Age of Diarrhea

Actually a pretty instructive illustration of a common tech design mistake: retaining form even when scale calls for a complete functional rethink. The inverse might be hundred-button TV remotes.

LMAO -- Fox News is again broadcasting from Trump's state fair and again there is *nobody* there. I've seen fairs in rural parking lots with more attendees than this.

Hey @nytimes, pro tip!: - There’s no deal, Trump’s suckering you & everybody else for the Nth time! - This will still be true next week when you print that same headline. (And the week after, and the week after that…)

Obama has long been a spokesman for "creedal nationalism." His speech lays this out, but also calls out those who believe "some groups are more equal than others." That's key. We need more Dems to point out that Trump/MAGA reject the Declaration's core promise: newrepublic.com/article/2121...

For years I've tracked billionaire excess. Each year I show students a chart that blows their minds. This year I had to redraw it for a trillionaire: Elon Musk, $1.32T. Depressing that we're here. Silver lining: couldn't have happened to a less deserving person, proof that wealth ≠ merit.

stanford.eduElon Musk's $1.32 Trillion, to ScaleThe first trillionaire's fortune, one pixel per $1,000 — scroll past every dollar, and see what a fraction of it could do instead.

Almost every day I think about this quote from David Sedaris. It's not just that the country collectively chose the platter of shit with broken glass in it. It's that, even as people have eaten the platter & gotten sick, & started bleeding from their mouths, most of the DC media & political elite...
