We don’t spend enough time talking about just how WEIRD all these people are. This is just an incredibly weird and insecure thing to say. Imagine any other SecDef ever being this weird and insecure?!

It should alarm us that the civilian head of the military gathers together troops to give them a political speech in which he calls the free press treasonous. He should be removed from office for doing so.

"this was elder care masquerading as world-saving 'policy,' stringing together some of Tr*mp’s favorite activities—proximity to power, document signings, arbitrary renamings— for an entire day" @emptywheel.bsky.social emptywheel.net/2026/09/30/i...

Once you realize Trump's morally binding AI code doesn't even spell "United States" properly, the whole sham looks even more ominous.

I find it strange that some people refuse to believe this is the way our decentralised culture works now, that it's possible to be completely ignorant of hugely popular things that don't match your tastes and interests. People aren't lying about that because they think it makes them look cool.

It’s great that Walmart and Target can automatically link in-store purchases to my online account based on my credit card or let me start returns in the mobile app. But what I really want is the ability to print off a gift receipt (or send a digital one) from my purchase history after the fact.

I think the median American position on trans rights is something like “I don’t understand why that man wants to wear a dress but by God it’s his right as an American” which is pretty good, you can work with that

I’m an assistant scoutmaster for my kids’ troop. Trust me - having maps in their phones doesn’t stop the kids from feeling lost. But, also…not every kid is in scouting and purposely goes places where they have no maps or cell signal.

This! 👇🏽 AI evangelists pretend that the debate over the nature of AI—namely whether it’s sentient or not, is a referendum on whether it’s dangerous. But that has no relationship to reality. AI can be, AND IS, harmful regardless of whether it’s conscious or merely a creature of its training data.

I can't stand "Choosin' Texas." It's...just an annoying song that doesn't make sense to me. And...I kind of like Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You." Yes, it's overplayed. And yes, it's an earworm. But...it's also fun.

IMO, there might be one more factor here. COVID introduced major supply shocks to the US economy - something most people aren't used to. It's more than raising costs - seeing some empty shelves at Walmart/other stores plus daily news about major US ports being backed up.

TBH a not-insignificant part of the enduring hatred towards "stochastic parrots" is because the authors of it are women and they aren't in the little boys club of the AI labs, but 3/4 are on Bluesky, so follow them: @timnitgebru.blacksky.app & @emilymbender.bsky.social & @mmitchell.bsky.social /7

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.
Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.
