Don't be fooled by my handle. I'm actually quite loud about progressive issues and our dystopian world in general.

I mean, the people saw him say "they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats" on national tv, and crowned him their king, so who knows whether it's unhinged or brilliant at this point.

This would sink a presidency in any other era. I would bet most Americans will never hear it even happened.

Trump bought over $1 million in SpaceX debt days before unveiling space policy
The purchase, revealed in his latest financial disclosure, involved a firm directly affected by his administration’s actions — and led by presidential ally Elon Musk.

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing
Since returning to office, Trump has marveled at AI’s capabilities. He is increasingly in thrall to the tech executives courting him. In December 2025, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting. Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present. At the time, Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuelan boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the U.S. He asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the U.S. captured Maduro. According to the official present, the chatbot responded that Maduro was a repressive and deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After Trump ordered the mission to seize Maduro, the following month, celebrations broke out in the streets. Trump, according to officials, came away thinking Grok was ingenious.

A core belief uniting Trumpists with Silicon Valley tech bros is that society should be organized around male entitlement to sex: a cross between Mad Men and the old Playboy Mansion.

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

It's a 2.5% lead on average, and it's been decreasing since Elon and co started spending. I bet some of that margin is just silent Paxton voters who are too ashamed to admit that they'll vote for someone who was impeached even by the Texas GOP. Talarico shouldn't have caved in, looks weak!

The outright refusal to treat white supremacy as an ideology which motivates action and treat it as generally objectionable is what allows this strategy to be viable for Elon Musk.

You'll hear even less about it now, since most of the news media and social media is now owned by his right wing billionaire buddies. So you'll hear even more bold bigoted hate and calls to violence directly from him to his millions of followers.

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

Co-founder of Anthropic accidentally argues the only people with sufficient brainpower to "think through the response to the situation" are AI haters. 😂 And he's just wrong: if you want to understand "the situation" with LLMs, "stochastic parrots" will point you the right way. "AGI" won't. /1

@jackclarkSF
"stochastic parrot" was a mimetically-fit cognitive virus that spread from 2021-2025; it temporarily blinded many gifted people to the nature of AI progress, burning up crucial years in which they could have helped think through the response to the situation.

The Anthropic, Meta, and Google "breaking containment" incidents all resulted from setup errors (or a stunt) by the same company: Irregular. Irregular created a sandbox that wasn't really a sandbox because it had a live internet connection, and gave instructions that were then carried out online.
