Next Saturday is #NoKings Day. Stand up for democracy before it's too late. Find a protest near you at nokings.org.

The Economist (USA cover): "MAGA's assault on science is an act of grievous self-harm":

I like living in a country with the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus.

Counting down to the end of the nightmare.

From a YouTube comment: "Dear Americans, whatever you wish more Germans would have done in 1933, do that NOW!"

Actually, for a really deep dive, with lots of pictures and engineering details, I'd recommend the 43 page (!) PDF "IM-2 Mission Press Kit". I could probably avoid half a day's work, reading it: 97e97b55-dd53-4bc9-92cd-8e2cbfc75af8.usrfiles.com/ugd/97e97b_5...

I just followed both "The Associated Press" and Wired here on Bluesky: @apnews.com @wired.com They are standing up for American democracy. We don't want to become the next autocracy like Hungary.

The comment section to Eric's piece about Elon's latest pronouncement seems, understandably, about ready to do to Elon what the January-6 "protesters" wanted to do to Mike Pence: arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...

"Nine countries currently have nuclear weapons, but perhaps 40 additional states are technically advanced enough to build nuclear weapons if they chose to do so." Trump's "every man for himself" foreign policy will likely drive nuclear proliferation: fas.org/publication/...

@gtconway.bsky.social Russian state media commentators express enthusiasm for president Trump's dismantling of US government, because it will lead to the "destruction of the current American system". Trump is doing their work for them, and they love it! youtu.be/7kGgCQJayp4?...

One happy note: So far the $TRUMP meme coin price continues to drop. He's never had a gift for building value, but he is pretty good at destroying things and sowing chaos.

Intel's Gelsinger was OK, board is not: "The [board's dumb] decision to fire Pat Gelsinger, put in charge a CFO + career sales and marketing leader, and cut spending on fabs in favor of a renewed focus on x86 is an example of the incompetence that will end Intel." semianalysis.com/2024/12/09/i...

Coming soon: U.S. Army assembles before Der Führer Trump, as we prepare for invasion of territory formerly known as "Canada". Then on to "Greenland" which will be renamed Trumplandia in honor of our supreme leader! God bless Trumperica! Based on: www.dezeen.com/2017/01/31/n...

"My experience with tariffs is it just makes your indigenous industry lazy. The gap becomes even bigger" www.businessinsider.com/godfather-of...

Prompt "engineering" is merely providing a vague probabilistic context to a linguistic lotto machine that nobody really understands. Far cry from giving specific and precise instructions to a flawless computation engine we call a computer. Funny how we went back to voodoo.

@newscientist.bsky.social Please feel free to post here to Bluesky. You could post links to your articles. Unlike Twitter and Threads, Bluesky's algorithm apparently is friendly to posts with links (it won't demote them like Twitter and Threads). See: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4gh...

I have covered both Musk and Alex a lot, and only one of them is a useful idiot for Putin and also a heinous person. The other is a patriot who did his job with distinction and is a very good man. Guess which is which: thehill.com/policy/techn...

Just deleted my Twitter account (started the deactivation process based on www.yahoo.com/tech/done-x-...). I'd been using Twitter since 2010 (14 years). The last straw was Musk retweeting dangerous lies about the patriot Alex Vindman @avindman.bsky.social.
