It's 2026 and Sweden narrowly avoided a NeoNazi-esque party having the power to form a government. I hate this timeline.

A reminder that mass AI surveillance (funded by Democrat) started with us at the border, as did almost everything else that is now being visited upon the rest of the population.

In the Wawa va Sheetz debate, I choose Wawa simply because any time I've swiped my card at Sheetz there's been zero security. No PIN, no Zip Code, just a magstripe swipe and proceed. I'm not shopping somewhere that can't get basic point of sale security right.

When Democrats justify abandoning (at best) Trans people on the grounds that they can't risk losing the election by taking an unpopular stance, there is a very simple, one-word demolition of that hypocrisy, and we all know what it is.

Once upon a time JIF sold a crunchy peanut butter alongside smooth and extra crunchy. They abandoned that middle ground, forcing those of us who loved it now have to buy a jar of smooth and a jar of extra crunchy to get the desired texture. They're such jerks.

Before posting a video of yourself explaining something complicated, ask yourself if you could write it out instead. If you can, write and post it. Reading is still the primary form of communication on the Internet, and much more consumable for those who keep their phones silent.

This whole thread is amazing and alarming. We as a species have dedicated newly half the global economy into chips that are sitting around doing nothing except gathering dust. Are we cooked? Just maybe.

I remember reading about some of the first autonomous vehicle DARPA challenges during the early days of the Dubya Iraq invasion, and thinking that maybe we might some day have safer ways to explore terribly hostile environments. Young me was terribly naive.

Folks who embrace AI while acknowledging that everything about the infrastructure to power it is awful confound me. If everything about how it is built and operates, both physically and digitally, is absolute horse manure, it's not going to produce roses or magical mushrooms. It's just trash.

People who use sensationalized cases like Linday Clancy, and Andrea Yates before her, to further reduce rights for women -- who already have fewer rights in the U.S. than corpses -- are evil. There is no room for negotiation there.

"Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" has been one of my favorite shows for what feels like forever, but the host @petersagal.bsky.social posted the most ignorant, careless piece of drivel I've ever seen or heard from this with this take. JKR is alive and hateful. She sees her wealth as justifying her take.

I don't always agree with Tasting Table, but they absolutely nailed the description of #RaisingCane's chicken in this article: soggy breading on extraordinarily bland chicken. There is nothing worth eating from them. At all. Ever. www.tastingtable.com/2246217/pope...

I don't know most of Dolly's musical body of work. I've not seen most of her films. I loved her for making Sevier County a Destination, for Imagination Library, for making my friends lives better. But DAMN, did that woman know how to be political without being preachy. More of that, please.

In America you can spend decades give vocal and material support for gay, trans, Black, immigrant, and working class communities in the face of government indifference and malice towards them, but if you don't go on TV and say who you're voting for you get called neutral.

Underemphasized, I think, about Dolly Parton: her longevity and how hard and how long she worked For dumb reasons I bought an old minor league baseball scorecard last week. It was from Richmond, Virginia. It includes a show featuring... Dolly. The scorecard is from 1967 Nineteen. Sixty-seven #RIP

I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.

Does no one else find this an unforgivably stupid question? Emissions reductions won't make a heat wave NOW survivable. Likewise, more homes can have AC, heat pumps while overall cutting greenhouse emissions. This isn't an "either/or", both are needed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

People like Elon Musk, Grimes, and other Zizians believe that humanity will create a digital god called The Singularity that will (somehow, methods unknown) "take over humanity" and guide us to paradise on Earth. They're all completely wrong & don't care. They'll likely kill us chasing their tails.

If a computer program you use keeps giving you choices and outputs that are completely unusuble, that program is broken and needs to be rewritten or abandoned. How is anything made by OpenAI or Anthropic any different? They don't hallucinate. They break. They're broken. Time to start over.

I understand that news orgs have to make money to remain active, but it's reached the point where I can no longer read articles on NBC News, CNN, The BBC, and most others without hitting a paywall 70% of the time. This is why low quality news wins. Free news is always going to win.
