Bragging about your AI-based exploits on here gets you unfollowed. FYI.

Well the first person to describe measles was Abu Bakr al-Razi, and he knew more about the disease than RFK Jr despite living >1000 years ago 🤷🏻‍♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Bak...

Like… this baseline assumption that things from sources that are treated as authoritative obviously must thus be trustworthy is circular reasoning that is doing and will continue to do a lot of harm unless and until we tackle this shit at a BUNCH of levels of society.

He probably thinks Al-gebra is a terrorist organization.

Neil Young Hits Trump With $10M Lawsuit for Playing ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’ at Rally — Again

The real AI apocalypse is not about robots messing with the power grid it is AI destroying the minds of kids, who, with educators pushing these tools, are at real risk of loosing the ability to write independently.

David Ellison and his co-CEO Ynon Kreiz sent out an email to Skydance employees today offering up voluntary buyouts and also implementing a five-day-a-week in-office work policy. And so it begins...

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

Canadian stock market outperforming U.S. for second consecutive year

It’s hard to decide what part of this story on Marissa Mayer’s new startup is most loathsome, but this “women need a wife or, in other words, a digital servant” construction makes me want to flip over an actual table www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/s...

This will go down as one of the most incredible screwups in recent campaign history, and it happened because brain-fried Republicans like Ramaswamy can't imagine that voters don't actually want politicians to be gigantic assholes. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/vivek-rama...

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

cool, cool

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town ever since the woke mob closed the old Cheesecake Factory. So when Vivek Ramaswamy promised to legalize child rape, they finally had something to cheer about again. But then Obama said something elitist.

me: mom, what was I like as a little girl? my mom (completely fucking braindead): hey alexa describe a human kid or something

Very rich people have always loved boarding school and other ways of spending the least time with their kids — AI companies now convinced them, and anybody able to be conned this way, that even the process of getting to know their childrens' personalities is a waste of time.

Oh, honey . . . your own mother shipped you off to a reform school (with cute little military costumes) after you were caught throwing rocks into a baby carriage and she realized you were too twisted to deal with.

Repeat after me: Hand sanitizer will not stop you from catching an airborne virus.

NEW on @zeteo.com — Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his bus tour across Ohio in the closing days of the election. “We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.” From @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social:

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

How to make sure 75% of the people who clicked leave after the first sentence.

This ad is pathetic, and it’s a more extreme position than even some Republicans have. To what end? You win no one. You lose a bunch of voters. And you look like a desperate, hateful douchebag.

Reagan talked about welfare queens in Cadillacs, Trump talks about Somalian thieves in Mercedes Benzes, because being *real* racist has been a core strategy Republican politicians for a very long time, even if prior to Trump a lot of folks who should have known better enjoyed pretending otherwise.

Dead 😂

And when he does open his yapper Only this comes out

my feminine energy would like to meet this guy on the stage

I dug into Netanyahu’s decades-old writings & exclusive meetings with DC elites, and found how far he went to make himself the West's foremost "terror" expert — and thus steer America's endless War on Terror. It's a saga that touches everything from Mario Cuomo & H.W. Bush, to Reagan & Iran-Contra.

The theory seems solid to me!

Facts: Bicycle vs. motorcycle commuting mode share for Iowa cities: —Iowa City: 2.8% vs 0.4% —Ames: 1.7% vs 0.0% —Des Moines: 0.4% vs 0.0% —Cedar Rapids: 0.2% vs 0.2% Turns out Iowans actually do ride bikes, more than they ride motorcycles.

This is beyond criminal. 🤬🖕🤬

The man behind Kristi Noem’s infamous horseback commercial has been exposed as the creator of Vivek Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad, a new report alleges.

AOC: "They call people communists, they call them this or that. But really what it is is they're afraid of a waitress in the House and a logger in the Senate"

"I suppose every generation thinks the next has lost its way, but there’s so little artistry to it anymore. We used to spend months figuring out how to make racism look like a perfectly legitimate concern about municipal governance." buff.ly/bEdtrJN

these guys are evil and dangerous but also just utter fuckin buffoons lol just such incompetent embarrassing boneheads

Pete Hegseth wanted Gen. Dwight Eisenhower’s globe for his office. His staff broke it because they refused to wait for a team of specialist historians to move it.

1/ Caught on camera: the CEO of Turning Point UK allegedly told an undercover reporter that, for a price, his contacts could beat, stab, shoot or kill someone. A man he introduced then allegedly offered a UVF killing. Here's what they said they'd do. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
