so i've started building out a website about trumps scandals/crimes and how to vote and holy crap, like i already knew it but trying to put it all in one place is insane

randomly browsing doordash... wait... chipotle shrimp fies is a thing?!?

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

That’s where the k-cup goes

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Canyonlands Outlook…

wow, i just had to explain to a vendor that security through obscurity is not security after doing the literally simplest move, i don't think they're going to be a vendor much longer

Bolsonaro is summoned by federal police to turn in his passport oglobo.globo.com/politica/ele...

vendor: we can add another sandbox for $500/month me: frankly i've been building out an alternate platform because i'm so concerned about the security issues i've found with you guys vendor: wait, what? me: check your slack

on the same day Anthropic in their IPO said AI could be a “catastrophic existential risks to humanity”

“catastrophic existential risks to humanity” is that bad? it seems bad

ANTHROPIC IPO FILING: ECONOMIC VALUE OF AI MAY COME WITH ECONOMIC DISRUPTION GREATER IN MAGNITUDE THAN PREVIOUS TECHNOLOGIES

oh hello donald

BRAZIL'S LULA: BRAZIL IS NO ONE'S BACKYARD

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

i think that's the wildest onside kick i've ever seen

Megacorps* are an existential threat to civil society, as is the conspiracy of billionaires. Every available legal mechanism should be used to deal with this. That's the moderate solution.

i feel like BYU vs UCF is drunk

Every so often I think about the number and scale of catastrophes Trump has baked into the global economy/security situation that haven’t eventuated yet and then sort of shrug and pour another cup of coffee because I can’t do anything about it.

It was almost a year ago to the day that Trump pardoned former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, who spent four months behind bars after pleading guilty to a federal money laundering charge.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

i don't think i could fit a paperclip in my freezer or fridge if i tried they're so full, yet nothing i want to it, it's amazing at how bad i am at shopping.

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

boss: they said a full data export will need 2-3 weeks me: i did it in two hours via the api i don't have time for this shit boss: what? me: it's done

What the Attorney General of the United States seems to not understand, but the people who matter do, is that Congress hasn’t given DOJ any authority to block states from certifying the election. This isn’t a thing. And we don’t have to pretend it’s a thing just because he says it’s a thing.

Vendor: so you're interested in the calendar sync? Me: me yeah I'm interested, I built out my own that bi-directional syncs multiple calendars and we only pull in things flagged with our company name Vendor: uhh... that's more advanced than what we've done...

we cannot co-exist with people like this. we either find a way to excise them, or we let them choke us with their ignorance.

Somalian. He's Somalian. www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

It's a choice (a bad one) to tell readers this driver "passed too close to cyclists" when there's video evidence showing he drove his car into them, made contact and hurt someone. Fellow journalists: we can explore the nuances of punishment for drivers without obfuscating their dangerous behavior.

GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

WTH is going on in Bend lately?

Surely a sign things are going well

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

Exploit is out. No, I’m not going to link to it. Patch right now or take your service offline until a distro patch becomes available. This is not a drill

Elon denies he betrayed the Ukrainians in the midst of a Russian assault in order to help Putin. But WSJ has the evidence: he did. Can we allow a drug addict from South Africa to run US military assets in the middle of a war? How did this happen? www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

At some point we have to talk about how Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for far less than what Donald Trump did and is still actively doing.

a big strong man with rippling, glistening muscles walked up to me and said with tears in his eyes you are the straightest man I have ever seen thank you Mr. President

I've had coffees at the Peet's across the street from the Eisenhower Executive Office Building with friends in the Obama and Biden administrations who refused to let me pay the $5 for their coffee, lest it seemed like I was trying to bribe them. 🤷

The painting is by my late Granny. I change them out seasonally. One of my favorite things here is my 1930s typewriter desk and my 1939 Royal KMM (the same one Jessica Fletcher uses in Murder She Wrote). And yes, I use it! Also on the desk: The Nikon F, the legendary photojournalism camera.

All of us need to remember that if any of these criminals made money through illegal stock trading, they cannot expect immunity from a Trump pardon. All stock trading is subject to the New York state law. State crimes are not pardonable by any president.

this is dumb but it's cracking me up, i built a bot that joins google meets for meetings between pharmacists and patients to transcribe the meeting and then automatically create charting notes, my team is awesome they go all in like a couple actors totally playing the roles in our testing.

Americans have now cumulatively spent $138.8 billion more on gasoline and diesel since March 1st. That's roughly the same as buying 337,897 homes at the median US home price of $410,700 each, housing a population of 845,000-860,000 people- similar to Indianapolis, IN.

The donor list for Trump's ballroom is finally public, and it blows the lid off a huge can of worms. There’s a LOT here, so let’s break it down:🧵

This is asking for a lawsuit. Wow.
