In 2020, Trump lied before the election, lied after the election and -- when he lost in court -- incited a violent insurrection at the Capitol. Right now, he is lying and losing in court ahead of 2026. He is going to escalate and we need to be ready.

My adventures in vibe coding continued: Generative AI is a deeply expensive edging machine, but for your life. www.garbageday.email/p/generative...

Every time I’ve tried to involve AI in one of my creative pursuits it has spit out the exact same level of meh. No matter the model, no matter the project, it simply cannot match what I have in my head. Which would be fine, but it absolutely cannot match the fun of making the imperfect version of that idea that I may have made on my own either. Instead, it simulates the act of brainstorming or creative exploration, turning it into predatory pay-for-play process that, every single time, spits out deeply mediocre garbage. It charges you for the thrill of feeling like you’re building or making something and, just like a casino — or online dating, or pornography, or TikTok — cares more about that monetizable loop of engagement, of progress, than it does the finished product. What I’m saying is generative AI is a deeply expensive edging machine, but for your life.

Among the most important things right now, for those of us Americans who want to understand our world and our place in it, is to shift from understanding ourselves as citizens of a democracy to members of a captive, restive, rebellious public an autocrat is seeking to consolidate control over.

The ‘American First’ crowd is awfully quiet about Trump’s pledge to build free housing for 2 million Palestinians in some random country they don’t want to go to that also doesn’t want them. I’m sure this will all work out fine and that’s what people thought they were voting for.

Here's an album that got a lot of play in my childhood, back when I was big into cereal. (Maybe this is the band some people would want to see during a Super Bowl Halftime show. Could run it by them for approval.)

One of the first doubts I had as a young Evangelical/Christian Nationalist was when I realized these people hate each other & can't even avoid a church split every 5 yrs, why do they want to try to control a whole nation?

I've left a lot of voicemails with my Senator's office but my fave is the one when I got flustered at the last second and, in an effort to sound more professional, referred to "Elon Musk and the tech brothers."

I just dropped in on my Senator's local office and you should do the same. He's a Reliable R but they asked me a TON of questions and took notes. Said ppl across parties are reaching out and they value the feedback. I'm still a cynic but he wouldn't have heard me at all if I didn't try.

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask: "Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?" And see what happens.

It makes Trump's deranged response, his lack of empathy, his instinct to instantly blame others, into news. He's making "The plane crash was the fault of minorities, somehow!" into government policy. It is now the formal, legal position of the White House that minorities are to blame for this crash.
