Every news article about business leaders and/or social strife should mention that a cabal of billionaires and their trillionaire buddy are currently and explicitly trying to accelerate social collapse so they can be neofeudal kings in digital paradise forever. I dunno, seems like important context

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

As I’ve said before, a lot of modern American Evangelicalism is just a lifestyle brand for right-wing authoritarianism. It has no real core principles; its function is just to ventriloquize whatever otherwise-indefensible view serves power as a command from God.

pitchers and fielders should wear scabbards on their backs where they holster ceremonial bats. oh come on, it’s not all that stupid. they already make the coach wear player clothes and stand around in a special basement. this isn’t any dumber than that

This is rather good www.theringer.com/2026/05/28/t...
Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.

I work in social services, and we’ll have interviewees complete an impromptu case summary note to ensure they can meet that low bar. Had a lady write out what was clearly from an AI prompt. Apart from the wtf, the note was weird and didn’t even match the assignment. We went in a different direction

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.
