Something people should know about the ongoing GOP civil war: the Bannonite Wing dislikes AI the correct amount, as does Tucker Carlson And yes, this is causing all the problems you'd expect
Today has just been another interesting day. Trump continues attacking the Supreme Court, including justices he personally appointed. Steve Bannon and Bernie Sanders somehow ended up at the same “Pro-Human” AI event.

Anyone else excited for @hope.net this week? The last few years were rough, but I'm very looking forward to an insane list of sessions and workshops in a great location! I'll be around if anyone wants to discuss where journalism, OSINT, security and tech all converge!

Reminds me of pitching a startup in 2013. Every meeting in SF the VCs asked “how long until a million users?” In NYC they asked “how long until you can pay yourself?” NYC just isn’t jumping on the bubble.
Crunchbase: SF startups hit a record of 1,404 seed deals in 2025, while the number of NYC seed deals has dropped over the past three years, to 666 in 2025 (Yuliya Chernova/Wall Street Journal) Main Link | Techmeme Permalink

Yesterday I worked from a library and realized on my way out I could stop and see a Gutenberg Bible for free without even going out of my way. Then I got on my bike and saw Cave of Forgotten Dreams in 3D IMAX four blocks away. There’s maybe five cities in the world where that makes sense as a day
I honestly have never understood why people even like New York City because of this exact reason. It is disgusting and smells terrible if the temperature is reasonable and is physically impenetrable on very hot days. It's such a gross thing to just accept!

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time
Anyone who says "AI writes the majority of our code now" is a fool and moron. Please point me in their direction so I can raise a fund to short sell the *shit* out of them. The last three hours alone have shown me how incompetent even @anthropic.com's best models at the highest reasoning are.
