It, again, truly doesn't matter whether vibecoding actually caused the outages or not - when you start bragging about how claude is making every engineer on staff more productive and the site goes through months of persistent downtime, that's a Statement.

I need to stress again that requiring ID for age verification is technically unnecessary, and yet more evidence that the point of these laws is to end anonymity on the internet, not to protect children.

Ken Griffin employs thousands of people in NYC and is planning to build the tallest office tower on Park Ave., investing billions more and creating thousands more jobs. (For that reason, he’s also here in NYC a lot, @NYCMayor
) 

Meantime Miami is welcoming him and his firm, with the massive jobs, investment and tax revenue he’s bringing.

Making him feel unwelcome and demonizing him seems risky. Ken left Chicago and moved Citadel hq to Miami a few years ago because of bad policy. (He also sold his penthouse there)

It's wildly inappropriate for someone who works as a *business journalist* to behave like a PR person on behalf of one of the very same people she and her network report on... It's one thing to comment on this 'tax the rich' plan as part of on-going news coverage, it's quite another to do this:

We Forget About ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ at Our Peril The abuses are piling up, and Democrats and activists are desperate to get the word out.

At the so-called "Alligator Alcatraz" in Florida, "detainees placed in 'the box'—located outside and in direct sunlight—are reportedly forced to endure high temperatures, high humidity, and 'horsefly-size mosquitos.'"

Y’all.

I accidentally read a YouTube comment section full of people arguing that Andor was “mediocre Disney slop” because the diversity it featured was “humans with varying shades of skin colors” rather than “white guys and various rubber forehead aliens”.

I feel dirty just from reading that.

I’d add that this is also evidence of just how mentally and morally cooked the tech oligarchy is. They used to know this was “inside voice” stuff. Now it’s meant to be the organizing principles of society.

On the anniversary of Tim Curry’s birth I would just like to say that there are few actors who are as good as him at putting exactly the right amount of unhinged overacting and camp into a role to make it memorable.

The man is quite literally an acting genius and we are all better for knowing him.

The Right Wing Origins Age Verification Laws Don’t Disappear Just Because They’re Going Bipartisan. I think it’s important to understand that, despite claims to the contrary, age verification is, inherently, a right-wing effort. While it’s currently true that age verification laws are…

"All 26 states that enacted porn age-verification laws as of 2026 voted Republican in the 2024 presidential election, indicating a strong geographic overlap with red states. While I do hold that this doesn’t suggest strong ideological clustering, it shows a strong partisan alignment."

No coincidence that Kash goes on Fox to claim he’s about to make arrests of people who supposedly rigged the 2020 election right after a story breaks that he has a serious drinking problem. A pattern of things like this every time Kash gets in trouble for his audience of one.

So here's a good example of why you have to touch as much grass and have as much "outside office"/"offline" life as possible:

NOBODY has said this phrase. It's not a thing.

But SOMEBODY in a groupchat or at Beshear's work said this and now he thinks it's a thing. He didn't check.

I don't care how big the project is: it reduces down to something manageable this hour, this minute. CPTSD wants you to believe because you can't eat the whole elephant in one bite, it's un-eatable. That's not true. Just break it down to what you can nibble-able this minute.

Belarus Imports Russia’s 'Propaganda' Playbook Belarus’s parliament adopted a new law on April 2 banning “propaganda” of same-sex relationships, of “gender reassignment,” and even of “childlessness.”

“Belarus’s parliament adopted a new law on April 2 banning ‘propaganda’ of same-sex relationships, of “gender reassignment,’ and even of ‘childlessness.’”

LGBTQ+ folk are not “propaganda” or “ideology.” We’re people. We must continue to refuse dehumanising politics and resist laws that degrade us.

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it.

He’s just burning your tax money.

Calm down, computer software isn't making decisions about who lives and who dies in war. It merely processes a ton of data and then makes a recommendation to a human who has no realistic way to verify it
