Bummer. I just noticed the 18th Space Defense Squadron has issued 60-day warning notices for the Swift Observatory space telescope. Re-entry predicted for November 3rd. It’s back in full detection mode. Going down swinging…er, slewing.

With all due respect, while agreeing that our president is deeply stupid, your country’s boycott did this. Trump didn’t make you do a boycott. You did that to retaliate and gain leverage by subjecting us to economic pain. This is exactly what that looks like.

Attention DC Statehood advocates! This is your chance! Act now! Agree to name the new state “Trump.” You’ll get the President, and he can pressure the Senate. All you’ll need is the House. Sure, your state will have an odious name, but it will still be a real state, with Senators and everything!

Decades from now, scientists will still be adding a line or two to the methodology section of their research papers to explain how their longitudinal studies accounted for the “mid-2020s data gap”…

BTW, because the news reports did not make it obvious: Most of the incidents where AI got away and hacked something were the results of tests to see what the AI would do if a lot of the safety controls were removed. They were trying to push the AI to see what it would do.

It used to be the Iranians wouldn't do stuff like this out of fear they'd get bombed. But we've shown them they can live with getting bombed. Now the only way we can regain the initiative...is troops on the ground. Which would be terrible.

Trump is infamous for not paying what he owes. I think “Trump will pay you” should become slang for unkept promises: “You joined the health club again?” “But this time they say it will be easy to cancel if I don’t like it.” “Yeah, right. And Trump will pay you!”

I miss the old days when phrases like “effective altruism” just meant choosing charities with low overheads and high (and ideally measurable) program benefits.

I’ve got to say, maybe Trump *can* destroy Iran. He’s real good at destroying things—casinos, football leagues, White House wings, the conservative Republican Party, government agencies—and in a perverse way, it’s kind of nice to see him using that power against some other country for a change.

I'm not trying to force Iran to the bargaining table, as ABC Fake News reported. I couldn't care less if they sign a worthless, to them, agreement. I like our position now much better, with almost total control of the Hormuz Strait, and their economy totally collapsing. They are just playing out the inevitable. When are the Iranian people going to rise up and fight? President DJT

The great thing about Meta's $18 billion settlement is that all the children harmed by its products will be using the money to rebuild their lives. Because that is who the money is going to, right? The children? This wasn't just the AGs using children as an excuse to fund state projects, right?

This angers me because there is, of course, a whole academic discipline under Computer Science called Artificial Intelligence. It has theory and method and is a legitimate science. But that’s probably not what these university administrators have in mind.

My hot take: The Fourth Amendment says nothing about crossing borders. Border officers shouldn’t be allowed to search your phone or anything else of yours without your permission unless they have probable cause for a warrant. Same as everywhere else.

A classic mistake. “They’re not doing what we want. So we’re going to hurt them real bad. And we will keep on hurting them, until they do what we want.” But what if they *never* do what we want? Congratulations, you have just lost the initiative.

A semi-circular dial labeled "Current Air Quality" and displaying the number 678 AQI With the arrow pegged all the way in the red. Below that, it says "Wildfires in Illinois," followed by "Bloomingdale, Illinois, 10 p.m. CDT, July 16, 2026."

I’m convinced that Trump thinks of every statement as either good-for-me or bad-for-me and always chooses the latter. Whether it’s true or false is an unimportant abstraction. It never enters his mind.
