this is one of the most offensive things I've seen in years

Oh yeah, I use fast chargers for trips over 100 miles but for regular commuting (I don't go too far .. ~15 miles each way?) the wall socket has been fine. I work from home some days too.

Eh I've been plugging my EV into a standard wall socket for five years.

Nice thread of classic tips.

A couple points on this manifesto, apart from the racial superiority subtext others noted.

Palantir is a company built on public contracts, they bill the state billions to surveil and target the state's population. The manifesto exists to justify their demand for even more.

China eyes near-total electrification of freight trucks to cut emissions China’s push to electrify heavy trucks could slash road oil demand by half, driven by cost, scale, and energy security.

I keep getting told goods move by diesel truck

Not China which is shifting to 100% electric trucking

Waiting for our flight to take off and the pilot is trying to REBOOT THE AIRPLANE.

After the first attempt failed, he just said, "planes are just like a big cell phone, you have to turn them off and then on again."

Ummm.

This is so good

If boycotting Target for dropping DEI wasn't enough, boycotting Target to prevent getting falsely jailed by AI seems pretty good.

it is not inevitable or even likely that social media, as we know it, will exist for the rest of our lives. future generations will look much more harshly on this stuff than we do smoking.

Because the nature of caffeine is to manipulate the bee! It makes you make the coffee!

They put a warning label on rap albums.

I am always so mystified when other parents don’t go to the library. What do you…do with them??? Mine killed two hours there today, and then we came home with 10 books each that is going to buy me hours of peace. Why are you not quietmaxxing your parenthood lol

This pattern holds a crucial lesson for America’s current moment. As democratic norms erode and elections become increasingly tilted, anti-corruption movements offer what partisan politics cannot: the moral authority to unite society against a rigged system. When traditional opposition fails, these movements succeed because they transcend party lines, mobilizing citizens around a cause larger than any candidate: the fundamental fairness of the system itself. Research shows that in polarized societies, the most effective opposition doesn’t fight on the traditional left-right battlefield where positions are entrenched. Instead, it creates an entirely new axis of conflict.1 Framing the stakes as clean versus corrupt shifts debate from rigid ideological divisions to a universally resonant moral question: are you on the side of the people or a corrupt elite?

Truth is, Orbán is just the latest in long list of authoritarians to be defeated by anti-corruption politics.

A Democratic landslide is possible if they can credibly take up the anti-corruption mantle. But that can’t happen if voters see them as corrupt and beholden to wealthy donors.

This is a great illustration of @larryglickman.bsky.social's point about how "backlash" framing lets the right play the victim.

Same! Jesuit rhetorical training with none of the guilt!

Schools across America are quietly admitting that screens in classrooms made students worse off and are reversing years of tech-first policies | Fortune Millions were spent putting laptops in every student’s hands. Now schools want them back as technology in the classroom is turning out not to be the miracle solution it was sold as.

It’s almost like WE ALL SAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN fortune.com/2026/04/10/a...

March 2026 to 'change everything': 'Tipping point' for global EV adoption Accelerated collapse of ICE cars seen, as oil crisis drives 'replacement under pressure'

EVs are winning. They're obviously going to win. The US is punching itself in the dick by clinging to ICE vehicles.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

I watch things like this and I really really wish that more people were helping folks to connect the dots about why/how this is all happening.

Huh, that's weird. Pablo Manríquez, of the tiny news outlet @migrantinsider.bsky.social, published an excellent story naming Nilufar Yasmin, the woman who was killed, with many details on what happened.

@pabloreports.bsky.social scooped all of these major outfits!

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago."
If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Yeah, but maybe it's important there's some kind of ridiculous monument, so the nation can have a moment of shared catharsis when it's eventually torn down/toppled/graffiti'd?

We didn't deserve this day.

I yearn for the time when podcasts were podcasts and not badly lit YouTube videos.

Can't express how depressing it is that after decades of being terrorized by their government the Iranians are now being terrorized by our government

As part of Project Glasswing, the launch partners listed above will use Mythos Preview as part of their defensive security work; Anthropic will share what we learn so the whole industry can benefit. We have also extended access to a group of over 40 additional organizations that build or maintain critical software infrastructure so they can use the model to scan and secure both first-party and open-source systems. Anthropic is committing up to $100M in usage credits for Mythos Preview across these efforts, as well as $4M in direct donations to open-source security organizations.

Anthropic says it's only releasing its new model to cyber-defenders because it has already found zero-day exploits in every major operating system www.anthropic.com/glasswing

Disinformation as Cultural Narrative: Conceptualizing Disinformation as Cross-Platform, Identity-Affirming, Cathartic Stories Rather than framing disinformation as false facts which can be countered by true facts, we propose a model of disinformation as narrative by tracing three case studies of successful disinformation ...

🚨NEW DISINFO PAPER🚨 TLDR; disinformation circulates as narratives, not false facts. This paper took five years (!!!) and a rotating cast of collaborators and GRAs. Our case studies include the pee tape, and we have an entire appendix justifying that. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
