You think that's dark? Imagine starting a war that has already killed thousands of people and will throw the world economy into chaos for years… all to distract from the fact that you are implicated in the Epstein files. That's dark.

One of our missile attacks on Iran struck a school, killing 170 people, most of them schoolgirls. This is on-brand for Trump, because he's known to target young girls.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I spent the week at the police surveillance convention and let me tell you my biggest observation: The name of the game now is consolidating as much information as humanely possible from surveillance devices, the internet, other governmental data, and literally a million other places. 🧵

Kimmel needs to seek an immediate injunction against his suspension, then sue ABC/ Disney for wrongful termination, and the FCC/administration for 1st Amendment violation.

ABC/ Disney needs to separately sue the FCC.

This needs to be expedited through the courts to SCOTUS. Clear violation of 1A.

Fox News host confuses "liking children" with "childlike". They mean very different things.

Let's be generous, here, and assume that by the solar system Altman wants to put the sphere outside the orbit of Neptune, and we'll just exclude the kuiper belt entirely.

That would be a sphere with a diameter of 6 billion miles.

Let's assume that it has the thickness of an eggshell: .3mm thick.

The whole idea here gets to something @shepazu.bsky.social has called "underlays."

In accessibility, there is an awful trend to make things called "overlays." Let me explain these before "underlays:" Overlays take inaccessible software and try to add an accessible layer over them. They are awful.

When & where will be the first area to ban non-autonomous vehicles? Some city center, gated community, or something will ban vehicles driven by humans, not because autonomous vehicles are necessarily safer, but because mixing human and autonomous cars is less safe. For good or ill, it’ll happen.

As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act Amid rising electric bills, states are under pressure to insulate regular household and business ratepayers from the costs of feeding Big Tech’s energy-hungry data centers.

"A lot of this infrastructure, billions of dollars of it, is being built just for a few customers and a few facilities and these happen to be the wealthiest companies in the world,” said Ari Peskoe, who directs the Electricity Law Initiative at Harvard University.

Just today in my business accelerator session, over half of the participants cited as risks:
- dwindling grant opportunities
- uncertain investment market
- higher (and unknowable) cost due to tariffs.

This is the most business-hostile federal administration I’ve ever seen.

Meme saying, "I wonder what Dan Bongino looks like when he takes off his Dan Bongino mask?" The image of an angry Bongino showcases his unusually bulging face, delineated by his sharp hairline and jaw structure, all of which make him look like a roid-rage puppet.

The same Democrats who say we shouldn't make too much nationally of Mamdani's win are going out of their way to make him a national issue that will alienate voters nowhere near New York.

The war in Iran is illegal under the UN Charter, under War Powers Act, and didn't even comply with National Security Act.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.
