Chinese researchers are the best at AI research and Trump has said winning in AI is a top priority. But the administration also hates immigrants.
So the country is driving away innovators thanks to racism and xenophobia. The size of this mistake will be obvious in a few years.
Having foreign policy experts who specialize in Iranian Politics is DEI
For all my fellow nerds, *this* is how we get the Star Trek future that was promised
Just remember, a white supremacist segregationist world would sacrifice this greatness for its white primacy. A multiracial, multicultural, gender inclusive world is the only way to get something this great to happen. This is why the broligarchs have never accomplished this.
This is healing some of my childhood Challenger trauma.
it still hasn't happened
anyway vance and his ilk sees the presence of any black (and most brown) people in elite or coveted spaces as on its face evidence of “anti white discrimination”
My AtmosphereConf '26 talk is available on YouTube.
Microsoft, to its billions of customers:
You must use this product to be hired or promoted.
It is the future. We are spending billions per day, choking the rest of the economy.
You cannot avoid it. You cannot uninstall it.
It is risky. Do not rely on it for anything important. It is a toy.
The old “they’re too rich to get help, they’re too poor to trust” two step
Screenshot of a really bad NYT headline and subtitle: They Pay $34 for Burgers. Should Their Child Care Be Free? A free preschool center opening in one of New York City’s wealthiest neighborhoods raises questions about Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s vow to expand universal child care.
They pay $34 for burgers. Should their fire department service be free? Opening a new fire department in one of NYC's richest neighborhoods has some of America's pettiest journalists asking silly questions in headlines again.🤡
The article acknowledges the fire department analogy, then blows past it
Since the New Deal, the right edge of the conservative movement has been committed to the goal of eliminating all facets of the federal government that do good in the world, leaving behind only a war machine and a surveillance operation capable of containing the “internal leftist enemy.”
Every day is April Fool's Day when the United States is being run by a clown.
Look, I don't agree with the gendering of *most* things, but that aside, when someone says "manhandled," this is what they mean.

If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home 🔭
No matter how much it's talked about, it's still not talked about enough that the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case on whether the words in the 14th amendment mean what the words in the 14th amendment mean.
Before the 14th Amendment, the Bill of Rights restrained only the federal govt, and "protected almost no one"
By applying the Bill of Rights to the states, the 14th gave those amendments "the powerful role they play today. And we owe this monumental amendment to the self-assertion of Black people"
And reminder if Birthright goes .. they WILL go for Tribal Sovereignty
We told you . WE TOLD YOU WE TOLD YOU WE FUCKING TOLD YOU WE BEGGED YOU and they are using Slavery yo do so
And we BEGGED YOU to listen
How’d that PR go? 🤨 (also using government force for PR is abhorrent.) #minn
As #ATmosphereConf draws to a close, this is a good time for me to let folks know that I'm looking for paid work!
I have a strong background in project management in tech, and apparently am decent at event planning too now!
If you need help with a project, let me know!
(reshares appreciated) 💚💜
Now THAT'S how you upset Duke.
Damn.
Community is the only moat.
A photo of the gigantic No Kings crowd in Atlanta, Georgia.
Atlanta is showing up to say no ICE, no war, No Kings. #NoKings
I don’t love being in a society where you can sell enough pillows to do meaningful damage to democracy or sell enough children’s books to do a genocide or sell enough chicken sandwiches to abolish gay marriage
That all seems like a ridiculous way to do society to me
"Senators have already left town for a two-week recess, and House lawmakers were set to join them."
So, the airport crisis will get worse because House Republicans want ICE to have even more money despite the fact they already have the money to pay their employees.
It. Is. In. The. Fourteenth. Amendment.
It. Is. A. Right.
A drunk former fox news host refused to promote two Black and two female officers because a convicted felon and 5x draft dodger does not want to stand next to a Black woman at military events.
Think about that for a second.
