They played a big part in the abolition movement as least as far back as the 17th century, and here they are, four centuries later, doing reparations.

I love the quakers. I’ll never forget falling into a deep depression in college while researching anti-slavery arguments (yes, the ANTI arguments) from the 18th century and feeling utterly aghast at their inhumanity. But the quakers (Elias Hicks) showed up with modern-feeling moral sensibility.

Hmm, this has not been my experience — though of course sometimes an agent doesn’t do the obvious thing you expect. I’ve invested a lot of time in agent behavior both as a vocation and as a hobby to do generative creative writing, would be happy to swap notes if interested.

Oh—how did you give it rules around dice rolls?

Hehe yeah I gave it a dice roll skill in my d&d-themed bedtime story generator so that it would stop rolling 15s and 17s all the time. It figures out how many dice rolls it needs for a story up front, rolls them all via a script, and assigns them chronologically.

I wonder what the odds are somebody calls the cops on me if I start deadheading other people's shasta daisies. It pains me to see a bunch of brown daisies in late July.

If a hat brand bills itself as environmentally-focused (‘every hat sold removes one pound of plastic waste from the oceans’) but sells hats with golf designs on them… do you find the design at odds with their identity?

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

What you need to understand is that the data center conspiracism and the tech oligarch grifting go hand in hand. The kind of moron who thinks data centers emit special rays that give you cancer is the same kind of moron who is eagerly buying SpaceX stock because Musk will put it all in space

The politics of data centers are insane because progressives have all convinced each other that it’s driven by public hatred of AI and tech capitalism. Then you talk to the actual people worked up about it and it’s straight NIMBYism driven by myths about water use plus 5G-style conspiracy theories

I made a cool thing today: a chart of every day in which 1) a given stock closed on an all time high 2) it was the last day you’d ever be able to buy the stock at that price around 10% of ATHs meet this criteria, but many ATHs are only one day away from meeting it. drewhoover.com/buy-it-now-o...

drewhoover.com

Buy it now or never — every ATH that was never undercut

When a stock closes at a new all-time high, how often is that price gone forever? 216 tickers across Nasdaq 100, S&P 100, tech ETFs, gold, and BTC.

I heard from a company I used to work for that thanks to agents and LLMs, they've finished every single ticket in their backlog. my first thought was ’what a failure of imagination’. It's definitely going to be the curious fast learner non-technical people who rule the world with these tools.

I’ve got a side gig startup with two non-eng domain experts who are basically engineers now with Claude code. I spend most of my time building the tools (and Claude skills!) they use to build the app. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had building an app.

Pretty wild to still be seeing these takes, given how rapidly software engineering (my career) is changing due to LLMs. IDK how to disagree with people who believe this now, but I think the days in which you can make this argument in good faith are quickly running out.

Bluesky Skeet reply in which someone is saying “It's also wild to be in 2026 saying "Al is inevitable" at this point. If you do even a cursory glance at what's happening in Al it's a dumpster fire.
It's the least inevitable thing around.”

The Tate brothers, who have been accused of sexual misconduct in three countries, had their devices seized by law enforcement when they arrived in the U.S. Days later, a White House official told DHS to return them. (Published Nov. 2025)

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Every time we try to get policy that actually helps working people, Republicans say "it's too expensive." That lie has never been more clear. If they can find $1 billion a day to bomb schools overseas, it's not a budget problem. It's a priorities problem.
