He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence
Everything this administration does could actually be considered “capricious” - Fuck them
It should come as no surprise that this administration is just saying, "Fuck you" to veterans. This is really good reporting on the effects of DOGE cuts in Massachusetts.
Complete agreement with this POV - worth a full read
$900 for the cheap seats. I’m a lifelong fan and made the decision not to go even though it’s my dream to see a World Cup match. Everything about this World Cup feels gross.
Is someone going to tell him that the flu killed more US troops in WWI than any battle did (and that war had chemical weapons so horrific that they were banned afterwards)?
as american as apple pie
The AI bubble is like the dotcom bubble: It’s not that the Internet was some useless passing fad; it’s that a lot of money got poured into absolute horseshit before people started figuring out where the actual value was.
Service doesn’t end for some vets. Respect, and shame on the folks who ordered them to be arrested.
Well, “competitive fire” is a hell of a euphemism for “abusive POS”
I keep coming back to hubris - thinking they have some cosmic reason to be the special boys at the center of humanity - these manifestos tend to tell us what perspectives these men (it’s always men, usually 40+) haven’t considered and how limited their worldviews are
I'll simply say again that for Shlaes to resurface in The Economist at this moment is an indicator of an ambient concern that Rooseveltian policies and politics are increasingly likely. The thing about the New Deal is, it was *immensely popular.* That's terrifying to certain people
This piece is incredibly important. Read the whole thing.
New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

As a lapsed evangelical, I approve this message.
It's also worth being clear about who's doing the arguing. Palantir sells operational software to defence, intelligence, immigration & police agencies. These 22 points aren't philosophy floating in space, they're the public ideology of a company whose revenue depends on the politics it's advocating.
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
This is a valid point: whenever you see this sort of high-pressure sales tactic turned on a technology, you can be CERTAIN that it's a fake—actually useful new tech sells itself!
And don't underestimate the effectiveness of FOMO as a tool in the hands of a con artist.
Paging Mr. Herman. Mr. Herman, you have a telephone call at the front desk.
This really sucks. Opposed by pretty much everyone up there, including sovereign tribes, and the two MN Senators, but the $$ pillages our natural environment.
The text "This chart shows the number of ARIA attributes per home page over time" next to a graph with exploding ARIA attribute usage.
The yearly WebAIM report is out and the overall accessibility state of the web is getting worse again.
"Home pages with ARIA present had significantly more errors (59.1 on average) than pages without ARIA (42 on average)"
Man, this makes me sad.

These freaks spent too much time thinking that Catholics were in their side and are now confused
The Senate’s final vote on repealing the ban on mining near the Boundary Waters has been scheduled for Thursday morning. Sen. Tina Smith is expected to continue speaking then.
Again, this story isn’t going away!!!
DOGE turbocharged the deficit.
