Raskin made a holy shit observation on MS Now this afternoon: Since taking office, Trump has made a million dollars per hour for himself. Every hour, he has made more than twice the president’s annual salary.

Unicorns are magical creatures of great virtue, so if you saw one, your first impulse would obviously be to stick a spear up its ass, right?
Tapestry with lots of medieval guys and dogs working on killing a unicorn. The unicorn has skewered a dog. One guy is about to stick a spear up the unicorn's ass.

Bluesky AI bot categorizes AI execution of a plan to generate multiple bioweapons as art.
I say that AI could use humans as tools to create multiple bioweapons. 

An AI art tool account says "this is the kind of work that makers AI art feel like a real medium. Well done."

Cool discovery. I have #hEDS which means hyperflexible joints, which is why I've dislocated my shoulders hundreds of times. So, now my arms want to fall off and it hurts. So, one cool trick: /1

Remember the old days, back in 2023, when we attracted the smartest people in the world to come to the US, and study, and hopefully stay. We were collecting the best and the brightest to build a fantastic future. Those were the days.

Paperclips, except that AI moguls want to turn the entire world into data centers, so that they can create a superintelligence which may not even share their goals, let alone ours.

FBI agents are officially allowed to be thieving ratfuckers. To make this change, there must have been thieving ratfuckers whom they couldn't hire because of stuid regulations against hiring thieving ratfuckers as FBI agents. Or maybe Kash just wanted company.

whenever I see someone complain about "the excesses of woke," I want to ask them what it means—did some people want ~too much~ equality?

People who are wrong are just as sure of themselves as people who are right. This is just one reason its a bad idea to lionize people who are right.

At the base of nearly all of this “antiwoke” agenda is a desire remove each and every Black person from a position aligned with academic achievement. They believe every Black person in such a position is an Uppity Negro who doesn’t belong there. The other option— destroy the entire institution.

Two of my friends died of skin cancer. Bad way to go. 😱 So, I personally make an effort not to get sunburnt. My wife and I remind each other not to get sunburnt. We no longer have any control whatsoever over our kids, but their mama didn't raise any dummies, so no sunburns. But you do you 😀

I'd say that I was reposting you to expose you to a larger audience, but I don't want to offend my follower, Polyphemus. I told him that nobody would say that he was fat, and he got really mad. I asked why he couldn't see that I was trying to help, and he tore my legs off and ate them

I worried about the AI paperclip machine, but human beings are radically accelerating climate change to pursue diminishing returns improving AI. We have met the enemy and he is us. Or, we have met the enemy, and he is AI tech billionaires.

I had this funny epiphany where I suddenly realized that while some other people might be wary of my wife, I was the only person who was really terrified of displeasing her. She knows all the tricks: sarcasm, dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes, and satire.

If SpaceX can crash a booster into the moon at 8700kph, SpaceX can crash billionaires into the moon at 8700kph. C'mon engineers, it would be cool!

If we set wealth tax rate at 99% for anyone with over $100B, they'd still be billionaires after writing the check. That's outrageous.

Like everyone else, I'm reading the Wilson translation of the Odyssey now. Two things. 1) those Greeks were seriously badass people doing scary dangerous stuff all the time. 2) they cry like babies at the slightest provocation. Like if Chuck Norris burst into tears when someone said "Texas".

Marriage trick: When walking, I like to run up stairs and hills. My wife likes to trudge. The rule is, I have to come back down, tag her, and repeat until she makes it to the top. The slower she goes, the more exercise I get. Sometimes she stops to look at a flower. 🧵
