Data / ML / System design. Care about politics and trying to leave the world better than I found it, which seems impossible these days. How do we fix it? Living in Philly, trying to remember how to be social after being sick so long.

Jack Smith defends his team of prosecutors: "I'm extremely proud to have worked with them, and the fact that they have been targeted illegally, lost their jobs illegally, and had their lives turned upside down by this Department of Justice is an outrage."

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Just once in my life I would like to see a Democrat being interviewed by right wing media like Fox News or right wing media like every single other outlet treat their questions with the contempt they deserve. I know it's not going to fix everything or maybe even anything but how much coverage and how much groundswell of excitement from the base do you think it would inspire if when asked about "boys in girls sports" or some other stupid fucking culture war distraction one of them finally said "What the fuck are you talking about man? You sound like a dumb asshole right now."

What's the worst that's going to happen the New York Times is gonna work overtime to make sure you don't get elected? They were already doing that buddy.

You simply say "Are you stupid? Do you think I am stupid? And do you think all of the people watching at home are stupid? Everyone sees through what you are doing. Using one group as a scapegoat for the very real problems everyone has – all caused by Republicans by the way – unlike this fake one you have made up. Dumb asshole."

Just go on the attack for once instead of sitting there trying to please your enemy who is in the process of trying to humiliate you.

And if you want to say something else true that almost no Democrat ever says for some reason you can top it off with a “Every single Republican in our lifetime has sought to make our lives worse in every way possible. I’d like to try to stop that.”

This utterly cute Chinese EV costs just $6,200 and pushes over 190 miles
The 2026 Hongguang Mini EV is cuter, smarter, and longer-legged than before, and at $6,200 to start, it's still the most disruptive budget EV on the planet. We break down everything that's new.

"They"? What? What's fun about Republicans is that they get to smear an entire political group as responsible for one random person's actions, but they themselves will deny any responsibility for the actions of their own deranged president or the racist billionaire who has bought them all.
They killed Charlie Kirk—one year ago today.

Then they spiked the football, openly celebrating his assassination.

A year later, they’re planning parties to savor that horrible tragedy.
