Digital Ocean ended their $50/month sponsorship of GNOME and FlatHub and went radio silent on CSS-Tricks right around the time they found a spare three million dollars to burn on “sponsoring” a high-profile racist’s dotfiles repo. Impossible to see this as anything but a statement of their values.

again: zitron doesn't know anything about anything. his best take is just "number too big" and so if number winds up too big he's Right About Everything and everybody will just ignore all the shit he got wrong. it's like peter schiff with the housing bubble

all things considered, this is one of the most fucked up things I've ever read. this isn't "a PR stunt" by AI companies. these are public wikis you can find online that now have records of like 10,000+ bot-to-bot conversations where actual malicious techniques were invented and spread.

ChatGPT isn't sentient, according to the widely-accepted argument of John Searle. It speaks English, whereas a sentient being would speak Chinese. DeepSeek has been a breakthrough in this regard.

my kid was being a real know it all about ostrich facts which, cool, except he let it slip that he thought they were roughly the size of chickens. every day with a five year old is a gift.

on the flip- flip-side, this would only be cool the first two or three days. by Thursday the kids would demand you stop the boring podcast about their schedules and play that kpop demon hunters song for the 500th time

although this dunk tweet is inarguably perfect comedy it is an unfortunate reality that kids think it's lame when dad talks about stuff like this but if a VOICE on the RADIO talked about it they would lose their lil minds

it's amazing how just changing one or two words of an all-time banger dril tweet transforms it into something totally forgettable. honestly a testament to the nuance with which dril operates.

nice to see all the bluesky politics accounts using Lyndsey Graham's death to really limber up for The Big Game. sure they're calling him a "rancid ghoul" and a "venomous poltroon" and whatever but you know they aren't playing their top card. can't wait to see what they're all saving for Gametime

the one thing most ppl don't think about is that MSTR holds like 5% of all bitcoin that will ever exist.. and so much of that is in wallets from like 2010 with lost private keys. they probably own like 10% of circulatable assets!! their own stupid strategy has been stabilizing the market for years!!

ian @union.io · 27/06/2026
then today Saylor finally mentioned the meltdown and I honestly could not believe what he said. instead of his usual bullshit about """diamond hands""" and HODL he suddenly sounded like an Enron executive circa 2002. "we will continue to execute with transparency "????? lolllll dude's cooked
100
ian @union.io · 27/06/2026
as expected, now that the scammers have left crypto and moved into AI, the price has flatlined and Saylor has had to continually dilute MSTR to pay dividends... but even THAT part has begun to wobble. his STRC is pegged at $100 and 10% yield, but investors aren't willing to spend even $75 for it now
100
ian @union.io · 27/06/2026
anyway a couple years ago, at the very peak of the crypto bubble, he restructured MSTR into a bunch of "financial products", including like six new public stocks, that all promise huge dividends, funded by MSTR diluting its stock regularly. this makes sense if and only if bitcoin goes up forever.
100
ian @union.io · 27/06/2026
in case you were unaware, MSTR is cryptomaniac Michael Saylor's company that converted from middling tech stock to "bitcoin treasury" a few years back. he's been doubling down on it ever since with all the classic twitter memes that you'd expect from that kind of person.
