Ocarina of Time is mostly about the differences between childhood and manhood, which mainly that boils down to having three pairs of shoes that you have to cycle through regularly instead of one.

Just picked up a 12oz bag of carne de soya at the nearest grocery store for under $4. High-protein, shelf stable, will rehydrate to ~2lb. This is not a sale, it's just how much that costs. By way of comparison, a pound of the lowest-quality ground beef in the store is running over $5 now.

Due to ag-gag laws, drone footage is one of the few legal ways to expose animal cruelty and illegal activity in factory farms. The FAA has proposed a new rule that would let them shut that down. www.regulations.gov/document/FAA...

TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.

1983: Huey Lewis and the News record “I Want a New Drug,” asking for a drug that emulates being in love: “One that won't make me nervous, wondering what to do / One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you.” 1985: First articles reporting on recreational use of MDMA in the club scene. 👀

My first social media was alt.atheism. I did a popular political Twitter 2007-2010. Sometimes it feels many have never had to longform with actual Studious Opposition. No, there is not a meme image you can reply with. They are not run-of-the-mill internet chaff. They're ~very~ good at what they do.

The tyranny of consumerization of affluence is everyone has a version of the best thing.Your used iPhone from five years ago runs all the same apps. There was a time this was extremely strictly delineated and I got to see it as a child in the transition. Cross-gen games were fake.

Unpopular security opinion: fingerprint is better security than PIN for phone unlocking in the great majority of scenarios most people are regularly in, and mostly irrelevant in the remaining cases unless you are carrying secrets worth more than your life and freedom.

You should use Signal. Seriously. There are other encrypted messaging apps out there, but I don’t have as much faith in their longevity. In particular I have major concerns about the sustainability of for-profit apps like WhatsApp in our new “AI” world.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

One of the things I’ve come to appreciate being with privacy folks this week is how unique Signal is at this moment. I know it’s maybe a cliche at this point, but it needs to be said.

Since DOGE took over, we have been doing routine surveillance on the full .gov DNS tld. The code needs some work but have noticed some recent changed. A new domain creators.gov just appeared in DNS. And us-cert.gov just changed from Akamai's nameservers to Cloudflare's. 👀

For years I've wanted to write a story that narrativizes a car crash at the electrical sensor and logic level, contrasted with the occupant's bodies. A car in fact knows it is in a crash. It knows it could be dying. And it is faster to know this than the brain. I just want to tell that story.

Jeff Bezos's announcement that he's remaking the Washington Post. Quick thoughts: ◼ Firings are reportedly already happening; watch for resignations, too. ◼ You don't put out a statement like this unless you want to get out ahead of news of someone quitting and/or *want* people to quit. (1/4)

Amy Gleason is the acting administrator of the DOGE. Please don’t be distracted by this—it was only done because federal judges were questioning who was actually running the operation. Gleason is completely controlled by Musk, and he is doing this to avoid testifying.
