This right here was the most damning part of the report; Todd Blanche interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell to signal to her the following: (1) we know that there is material related to Jane; (2) we know that you have information related to Jane; and (3) we will move you to a minimum security prison.

Telling a woman to shut up when she’s asking about the attack ad you’ve backed calling a pedophilia victim a loser is like a turducken pf misogyny

what kills me about AI is that the people making it always talk about these high-minded uses that would supposedly benefit the world, but in the real world it's always used for the most manipulative and disgusting slop you can possibly imagine futurism.com/artificial-i...

this is disqualifying for any leader of the democratic party, no matter how you look at it.

Good fun pairing Westvleteren beers and food this afternoon. Blond with Scampi, Pigeon with the 8 and 3 beers infused with beer (Triple, Kriek & Quad) with Westvleteren 12. At (H)eerlijk, Ostend.

Many Starlink terminals in Ukraine are financed by Poland. Its Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has put Elon Musk on notice regarding the evolving situation.

And, specifically, when you insist on replying to me with it — and I do not mean good-faith questions or analysis, but rather knee-jerk "they'll ignore it"/"there are no consequences" pablum — you tell me that you (1) don't actually know what's happening and (2) aren't attempting to understand.

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

Thinking again how hard it’s going to be for future people to understand that the Trump Admin essentially switched sides to be almost entirely pro-Russia in its FP twice but it was considered impossible to mention this because one early investigation into their ties was successfully obstructed

just to emphasize what's happening here: BMW (a company that used slave labor under the Nazis) refused to provide an official vehicle to the ultra right-wing AfD party, which is now asking Elon Musk to provide a Tesla instead Tesla literally becoming the Nazi car brand

I just can't keep up with all these new politically correct terms. Guys like me are constantly getting cancelled just for using terms that used to be acceptable

One thing about Copenhagen is that there's tons of dense housing but you *never* find it fronting a busy road with cars racing past, which describes about 90% of the apartments in the US. They manage to make it feel tucked away, private, cozy. (These are all from Sluseholmen, my dream neighborhood.)

journalists denying that they have any power in society and merely reflect society is exactly how they wield power

Cannot be emphasised enough that Trump II will plausibly cause the kind of death count we associate with the worst dictatorships of the last century. Unspeakably bad that he came to be president of the world's most powerful nation.

Isn’t this the definition of a “beardo?”

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

for this and a number of reasons, i think the only workable "pro-AI" or even "not-anti-ai" stance is within an anti-capitalist framework, because technology, how its used, how it's developed, and how its deployed, is downstream of political economy, and the political economy *fucking sucks*

@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social www.amny.com/oped/op-ed-r... Did you see this?

Let me give you the actual solution to this problem. Universities and colleges have to hire football players as union employees (AFL-CIO, same as the NFL), with no requirement to attend school. They get health and retirement benefits, and are limited to a five year employment contract.

NEW COVER(S)!!!! For our first WIRED Woman issue, we did no fewer than four covers, starring the iconic Patti Harrison as our favorite tech leaders, in our favorite moments for them

It's over for Bezos. He spent millions rebuilding his body, married the plastic trophy wife, and Patti Harrison just shattered his entire self-image.

Ed Sheeran claiming to be 'culturally Irish' gives the vibe that he thought being Irish was pints o' Guinness and shamrocks rather than implacable multi-generational communitarian struggle against imperialism.

Crypto companies are the largest donors in American politics. Very few Americans use crypto at all. Journalist @gilduran.com calls it a gun to the head of American democracy. If a politician goes against them, tens of millions of dollars land on their head.

“Millennials are the only normal generation” theory continues to remain undefeated. we are the only ones that didn't get our brains cooked by the computer

We must not allow these evil weasels to bribe their way back into the fold.

Pleased to be back.

How can newspapers still be doing regular features about this wax paper-faced coffin-dodger as if he isn't already world renowned for trying to infinitely prolong his tragically meaningless existence by taking lots of unproven supplements and treatments?

New in PN: Disney runs out of patience with Brendan Carr’s bullsh*t "For over a year, ABC tried to appease the Trump administration. That era is now over. On Tuesday, ABC, its parent company Disney, and eight ABC-owned stations sued Carr and the FCC for grossly violating the First Amendment."

14 million souls ended in a single year by Elon Musk's cruelty and stupidity Here are some of the comparisons: Rwandan genocide: 800k dead Cambodian genocide: 3 million dead The Holocaust: 7 million dead

If you wanna hear a real “…and they all clapped” story, @mayor.nyc.gov was at Balthazar last night with his family (yes, including Mira auntie) and, as they left, the restaurant literally burst into a round of applause. For the mayor of New York. A guy we historically greet with “fuck you”.

Football is too powerful to have a king. It’s time to abolish the FIFA presidency in its current form. For @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/749...

I…try to stay out of famous white people’s business, I really do. But y’all have let this man pass as an intellectual for far too long.

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.
