Graham Linehan is calling the people who murdered a trans man in cold blood, heroes.

Screenshot of an X post by Graham Linehan (@Glinner) commenting, "It looks like these two are heroes who may have saved some kids".
Linehan quotes a post by Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo) that reads: "Damn. According to a witness of the shooting homicide of the trans New York Times executive in Dublin, Calif., the elderly Chinese grandparents calmly walked away after the exec was dropped to the ground".
Below the text are two police mugshot photos side by side: on the left is an elderly Asian woman with short, wavy gray hair wearing a white shirt, and on the right is an elderly Asian man with short dark hair, slight facial stubble, and a white shirt.

I have no idea what's even going on here. It's every game in one. Mario fighting Sephiroth with a gun at peaches castle.

Not to be outdone, someone else created a skate 3 vs modern warfare 2 mod allowing you to skate COD maps.

AI vibe coding is causing the modding scene to get weird as decompiling game files has accelerated and allows rust ports to merge completely different games. There's a portal meets Nazi zombies from COD mod.

A lot of people are speculating that this will lead to the US government having to bail out AI companies but there's no world where that happens and the government bond market doesn't completely collapse and cause a fiscal crisis.

They're moving on from trans youth towards advocating banning care for trans adults, just like we said they would.

The bond market is starting to break. Things are about to get extremely ugly in the economy. Rates increasing this fast could put banks into distress and leave companies unable to access financing.

Running a regression on primary vote share vs general election share and it predicts a 9.6% dem advantage in the House vote share. You would expect a few polls with the generic ballot at +15 in such a scenario. We could be looking at a 10%+ win for Dems in the house.

Generic ballot is tipping into double digits for Dems. This may be a bigger wave year than 2006 for Dems.

Look at the peak in anti-LGBTQ legislation. It coincides with a decline. The correlation there is pretty direct.

You are measuring willingness to respond to a survey, not actual identity. Given the bathroom bans, bans on pride flags, renewed efforts to ban GSAs etc, it's not a surprise some kids prefer to not openly disclose orientation to a federal government survey.

They restricted these surveys in multiple states in the last few years. States moved to require opt in with parental consent to administer the surveys. Then the CDC stopped reporting data about gender identity in 2025. Given the broader anti LGBTQ hostility it's not a surprise numbers declined.

It really gives the game away when the anti trans orgs are calling the election of the neo nazi party in Germany a "glimmer of hope."

These people are obsessive freaks.

Hi, I built an actual adtracker you can use to verify this. America PAC hasn't run an anti-trans ad since September 20th according to my tracker. But other PACs are stepping in and the ad buy has been running on pace with 2024 so far. (data lags a few days) adtracker.lgbtqlegislation.com

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Honestly impressed at the level of patience this kid has dealing with these terrible parents.

They're paying for conversion therapist who let their license lapse to allow them to practice conversion therapy.

Researchers at Stanford loaded GPT-6 Astra into a humanoid robot. It explored its environment and built spatial context to navigate it to accomplish tasks. These aren't just hallucinating chatbots anymore.

So they are capable of casting a trans actor, just not as the trans character. Got it.

I asked some people their thoughts about the blocked and reported podcast and got some interesting responses.

We're going to plow right into a sovereign debt crisis. And the worst part is over half this debt were the Trump and Bush tax cuts. All yo give billionaires and corporations more money.

New Meta ad buy by Mary Peltola says that she "doesn't want kids getting gender surgeries or men in girls' bathrooms." This comes the same day a NYT report stated that she regularly used the word "faggot" around staff.

Even things we think of as lacking intelligence can achieve incredible accomplishments in a collective. AI agents are a paradigm shift in how we should think about AI and it's capabilities along with the risks and threats it poses.

New research out of MIT shows AI agent collectives can engage in recursive self improvement of the collective that can substantially improve capabilities without the need to engage in recursive self improvement of the individual models powering the agents in the first place.
