“I didn’t vote for THIS,” say the manosphere podcasters who simply had no way of knowing that Trump would lie about being a populist to get into office and then govern like a autocratic lunatic once in power, other than the fact that he did it for 4 entire years before that.

Commander Adama: “There’s a reason why you separate military and the police. One fights the enemy of the state. The other protects and serves the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.”

Thinking this is wrong is not radical.
Thinking it isn’t is.

[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) to me Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

It's nice to see you working with pen and ink. ;)

Deutsche Bahn is pretty broken these days, so I can see that.

Ours is. But then we're a different culture.

This is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

The Prime Minister of the Heard / McDonald Islands Speaks on Trump’s Tariffs

If any of these are your representatives, urge them to divest from Tesla: Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), Gil Cisneros (D-Calif.), Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.), Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), Adam Smith (D-Wash.), and Dwight Evans (D-Pa.).

The whole point of due process is TO SEE IF YOU’VE VIOLATED THE LAW

I bought Twitter for $44,000,000,000 and sold it back to myself for $33,000,000,000. I have 43 kids and no friends. Everything I make explodes

This means I now have negative 4 security clearances

Here’s the president to explain why secret war plans were shared.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

It's easy to know if information is sensitive or not.

If you're comfortable seeing it on the front page of the National Enquirer, it's not sensitive.

Everything else is sensitive.

This likely wasn't the first. Knowing them, it won't be the last. And our troops and our future is in danger because of them.

That is one hell of a ratio.

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option.

Pete Hegseth should resign.

Mike Waltz should resign.

Pete Hegseth in 2016: "The people we rely on to do dangerous and difficult things for us rely on one thing from us: That we will not... be reckless with the dangerous things they are doing for us. That's the national security implications of a private server that's unsecured."

For those wondering, that's a direct quote from Pete Hegseth in 2016.
