The Time interview with Trump is a master class in subjecting yourself to a stream of lies, lunacy, and insults with no correcting him, no calling out his crazy shit, nothing to show for it, nothing accomplished. It’s enabling, not journalism. They should die of shame. time.com/article/2026...

Imagine a 100 years ago when they came up with insulin and started saving kids left and right and pondering what the future might bring next. Dumbasses, the future brought a lot of dumbasses.

This is wrong: Trump and Republicans in Congress gave BILLIONS in tax breaks to Big Tech companies building AI data centers. So YOUR tax dollars are subsidizing their AI data centers — at the same time you pay higher electricity and water bills.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Anthropic's IPO filing apparently warns investors that advanced AI could pose “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity,” which is a great sales approach and also, coincidentally, the exact phrase I was told when I brought home this guy.

Trump launched "Trump TV" to replace the press corps he banned. It debuted to 8,000 viewers and bottomed out overnight at 1,000. The autocrat who craves attention engineered his own silence.
