HAHAHA! That response killed me. And it's so damn true.

A prolonged fossil fuel crunch just might, at this moment, be *the* exogenous shock necessary for a rapid global transition to clean energy adoption, but also it's going to be a brutally miserable experience for the world's poorest.

I feel like we get really hung up on "Was the Biden economy good for people or not" which I don't think is the right question. The real confounding thing that I have yet to see anyone have a good answer for was "Why did people think the Biden economy was worse than the Trump 1 economy?"

the only picture you'll ever need when explaining "sea lions are what happened when bears decided they wanted to play in the ocean as a full time job"

New lawsuit aims to block Trump DOJ from building national voter database via state voter roll grab The lawsuit calls the effort “a key component of the Trump Administration’s attempts to take over elections from states and subvert the 2026 midterms.”

NEW: Common Cause, ACLU, CREW and other pro-voting groups sued the DOJ to stop it from building a national voter database using private voter data from every state.

They called the effort a bid "to take over elections from states and subvert the...midterms" and a threat to Americans' voting rights.

The white christian nationalist Hegseth is going to kill a lot of elderly relatives of service members with this while also harming military readiness.

Palantir's Manifesto Is as Subtle as a MAGA Hat Palantir's 22-point manifesto is nonsense, writes Dave Karpf. But it at least it is short enough to be clarifying, he says.

My latest, for @techpolicypress.bsky.social

When I read Alex Karp’s book last year, I thought it should’ve been a tweet. Now Palantir has turned it into a tweet-length manifesto, which could’ve just been a picture of a MAGA hat.

Karp is… not a subtle thinker.

The Onion Signs New Deal to Take Over Infowars A new deal, which would allow The Onion to use the Infowars name and website address, must be approved by a Texas judge.

The Onion has to convert Infowars into a parody of itself: licensing the website from the site's court-appointed manager. Here's how it would work, and what would need to happen for it to become reality. nyti.ms/425AbUV

Clean energy generation exceeded rise in global electricity demand in 2025 Output from solar farms rose by a third while electricity from fossil fuels fell, research from thinktank reveals

"Clean energy is now scaling fast enough to absorb rising global electricity demand, keeping fossil generation flat before its inevitable decline."

and the pedophilia.

Trump has basically turned the presidency into a giant Bribe Delivery System.

Pennsylvania's motor-voter system effectively screens non-citizens from voter registration • Pennsylvania Capital-Star The audit also revealed problems with PennDOT’s data security protocols and recommended tighter internal controls.

Pennsylvania's auditor general, a Republican, audited 210,000+ new voter registrations under Gov. Shapiro's new motor voter system to see if noncitizens were registering to vote.

They found one. One.

And that was because a PennDOT staffer erred. It was fixed before the driver left the office.

yes. they identify with the villains as they mirror their own pathologies.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Good conversation to have.

Someone recently made a distinction between reacting and responding.

The public has observed the Tech Bros & are responding.

I don't think opposition to Neo-Feudalism and eugenics is reactive.

It's a healthy response to a societal threat.

This is so incoherent that it only makes sense as a billionaires reactionary brain farts. Eg: public employees are not “priests” and are over compensated. Reality: they are underpaid and have been serially abused. Next point, people engaging in public life (read: DOGE, Palantir) deserve our grace.

anyone who knew someone with pancreatic cancer knows how big of a deal this is

Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.

I want to be surprised. I really do.

But the only thing that was slightly surprising is that Kash is an alchi.

I honestly thought he was a coke head.

Is there anyone in this regime that's not got a massive addiction?

Major Update: Explosive New Melania/Epstein Allegations, Trump May Fire Kash Patel Over Alcoholism, Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz Good morning everyone.

BREAKING: Explosive new allegations concerning Melania Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump is under pressure to fire Kash Patel due to major alcoholism issues.

Iran closes down the Strait, attacks ships, and blasts Trump.

A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.

Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

So at the risk of maybe overreading this and making an educated guess, I think I can guess what specifically Wyden is talking about.

I think it's about use of AI (LLMs) by FBI to surveil American communications without a warrant
