I think a lot of people would learn a lot if they studied the troubles and how the Good Friday deal came about. As someone with an Irish name, Roman Catholic family but British passport, as an Irish man once put it to me: “Ah son, both sides would have wanted to kill you”.

I think that he is good, but he needs to develop himself to be the level of say Zohran Mamdani is at being a “politician”. The black and white thinking we see nowadays; yes the technical and actual term of “Zionism” is a form of racism. But drawing hard lines isn’t a way to peace.

Auto transcription (I was curious, sharing for access. Agree this is fantastic.)

$Screenshot of a transcript. It says: “Exactly right, but I want to say a couple things. One thing about cities that I found in this reporting: cities are very unfairly labeled as these problem centers by Donald Trump and others. And one thing is worth remembering: if you look at the population of well, all people in cities, particularly people who come to cities from elsewhere, but particularly homeless and other vulnerable people in cities, look at youth homeless. A pretty large chunk of those people who end up in cities were failed in some other parts of this country. Okay, in the fraction of youth homeless who are LGBTQ, whatever, pretty high. So there are a lot of families in this country who fail the first duty of family, which is to love your kids more than any other thing, and there's a lot of families in this country that look at some verse in some book, and their child's face, and choose the$

Second screenshot says: “verse in the book over their child's face, and drive their children out of Nebraska or out of Florida or out of Idaho, and those kids come to San Francisco, and those kids come to New York, and those kids go to Chicago, and we have friends giving dinners with them. You live in L.A. You are surrounded by people who have those kind of stories, and so cities. Every time someone is sleeping on a subway bench in a city, the rest of America can sort of say, "Ah, look at these cities.” But we are holding a lot of your people who you fail to love and take care of.

Very saddened to say I won’t be able to headline Tim Pool’s student event in Chicago this week. I unfortunately have other plans.

Hi Katherine,
Timcast Media is partnering with the Chicago Thinker to host a student event in Chicago on October 9 at 4:00 PM.
The event will feature a one-on-one conversation with Tim Pool followed by a live student Q&A. To create a dynamic and balanced dialogue, we are specifically seeking a featured guest to represent a left-leaning perspective.
Timcast Media will fully cover and arrange all travel and accommodations.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[REDACTED]

Hi Lisa,
Sorry, I'll be too busy slamming my hand in a car door that day to talk with Tim. Hope you understand.
Kat

The ironic thing, of course, is that "Woke 1" was the exact opposite of the Witch Trials. There were no actual witches. That's why the Witch Trials were bad.

Also Google and Anthropic paying billions to use both SpaceXai’s Colossus also needs to be talked about more. Data center don’t need to have such environment cost (eg, water, noise, air) but companies were allowed to build them on the cheap in the US, with tax breaks from the states on top.

Ciarán @ciaransaunders.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Meta and Xai, sorry “SpaceXai”, both getting their GPU intensive for LLM data centers in the US online already by breaking massive environmental laws is an issue. They’re making air/water toxic to locals, and made them cheap and that pushed infrastructure costs onto local bills as well.

Ciarán @ciaransaunders.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I just don’t see the physics working out for data centers in space to be cost efficient and reliable enough to work for both training and providing LLMs. Is there any plans at all to look at the cost efficient and reliability margins for other uses for in orbit data centers at all?

Ciarán @ciaransaunders.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Musk isn’t even a key player in LLM development anymore… again (xAI were and are still behind since later 2025) LLMs aren’t the issue. Blame Robert Bork, who basically allowed antitrust laws to disappear in the US so companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Meta can just buy companies/new markets.

Don’t mention Demis Hassabis (Deepthink - bought by Google), and Dario Amodei (Anthropic) the guys who founded the lab in 3rd place and 1st place respectively who are experts in the field of AI.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Funniest part to me is Jack Smith using 110% of his lawyer brain. He avoids making the connection himself; he doesn't even say "Hawkeyes," he just says "Iowa." He knows it's better to let everyone figure it out on their own. He also knows from Klobuchar's grin that she'll dunk it for him.

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

Also he’s now at a company from where nearly every employee from ten years ago is now rich enough to take it easy in life. Those who stayed clearly have a will never be enough mindset, they must keep selling more GPUs, the stock must keep growing. And that includes him.

Jensen is probably the most Jobs-like CEO left in the industry, in that he has a completely monomaniacal focus on producing and selling more GPUs no matter what. Things which are not relevant to that goal, such as knowing where you live, are discarded to fit more GPU sales ideas in his brain.

Honestly that very over the top GCI that looks like it could easily come from an asylum movie… LLM videos makers can’t do so bad/over the top that’s it’s funny CGI. It takes effort/skill to know how to make something good to be able to then purposely do so bad that’s it good media.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.
