So much false equivalence in the media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps were approved by the voters. The voters had no say in Texas. That is a big difference.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.

“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

This has the potential to become the funniest thing that's ever happened.

I think if you live in the US, it is like... beyond belief that countries can and do turn off the internet regularly.

When I was in Leh, India just turned off the internet to a region of 1.5 million people for no discernible reason and when I asked the locals were like "yeah that happens"

Opening text of a thread by Palantir from X Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.

This is what a timelapse of sleeping seals looks like. Seals can hold their breath for up to 19 minutes and even nap underwater. While sleeping, they sink and periodically swim to the surface to breathe.

Disney Layoffs Hit Marvel Studios Hard The Academy Award-winning artists behind some of Marvel's biggest hits are among the casualties from company wide staff reductions.

Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers.

Absolutely heartbreaking 😔
Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

Defense giant Anduril is quietly building autonomous warships on Seattle’s historic ship canal With little fanfare, Anduril Industries spent tens of millions to revamp the old Foss Shipyard on the Lake Washington Ship Canal. The facility is now the U.S. hub for building a new class of drone war...

this story is so worrying to me

Emergency Prices: How Private Equity Captured the Ambulance Market Emergency service costs have been going up for years, frustrating city officials. One reason seems to be private equity, which bought up ambulance makers and raised prices.

There's an ambulance market (I could stop there), private equity has rolled it up, and it's now delaying deliveries, tripling the cost for cities & creating shortages across the country.
This is what happens as we shout about what podcasts politicians should go on

The worst case scenario here is that Trump effectively cedes the Presidio to tech oligarchs so they can build the first "freedom city", which are essentially factory towns exempt from federal regulations:
