god fucking dammit

This needs to be taught in schools so people will learn to recognize it.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

Let it burn

It only took them 30 years after Unix/Linux had it to discover cmd line package management and installation? Wild.

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape

Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage. PLUS: 10,000 drivers call on Uber to repay stolen wages, a man is arrested at a public hearing about a data center and more.

Across the US, people fed up with Flock cameras surveilling their communities, and with local governments that are often unwilling to listen to concerns over privacy violations and ICE data sharing practices, are taking matters into their own hands—and tearing them down.

So we’re paying for the state dept to reinvent VPN routing?

Just another level of stupidity and “hold my beer” every day.

A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".

2026 basically

That’s going to haunt the admin in federal court cases when they try to claim posts are not official policy.

This will have big effects in terms of layoffs and shrinking economic activity.

When investors finally tire of AI corps lighting $5 on fire to make $1, markets will seize and we will have a nice financial collapse, possibly a depression.

We were fools to bet on nothing but big tech for 30 years.

There’s going to be Covid style shortages of cars, TVs and even washing machines and fridges, then job losses because assembly lines can’t source solid state memory, just so the stupidest person you know can state with 100% confidence a chatbot confirmed dinosaurs coexisted with humans.

So we can type split.string in code to just do it, or we can type a paragraph into the environment destruction machine and let it burn a few trees and several gallons of water to maybe do the thing.

Do I have that right?

Makes sense. Musk’s current distractions to hype for funding are running out. He needs a new shiny thing he doesn’t have to deliver for 10 years to make people give him more $$.

Four dogs sit in a parked red sedan on the side of a dirt road in a rural area.

“Your guy is late.”
“It’s only been five minutes, chill.”
"Something doesn't feel right."
“Everything’s fine, Dave.”
"You sure this is the spot?"
"Yes."
"And you know this guy is cool?"
"Yes, just relax."
"Don't give him the money until-"
"Until I see the kibble, yes I know."

Exclusive: Pentagon warns Anthropic will "pay a price" as feud escalates The Pentagon may label Anthropic a "supply chain risk," forcing all its vendors to sever ties.

the guy that hasn't washed his hands in years is threatening a $300 bn AI company's existence

because they want guarantees that he won't use their AI to surveil American citizens or kill people autonomously

and he refuses to agree to those terms

Editor’s Note: Retraction of article containing fabricated quotations We are reinforcing our editorial standards following this incident.

YIKES. “Ars Technica published an article containing fabricated quotations generated by an AI tool and attributed to a source who did not say them. That is a serious failure of our standards. Direct quotations must always reflect what a source actually said.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

What is to stop the state dept (part of the exec branch), from waiting until just before an election and revoking/invalidating passports of people they don’t want voting?

Also the matter of it being a de-facto poll tax.

I don’t see how this survives the courts (the corrupt SC is another matter).

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms With only nine months before the midterm elections, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.

"I’ve wanted Marc Elias to be wrong for seven years, or six years, for as long as he’s been coming on my show. I have wanted his warnings to be wrong, but every single one of them has been either affirmed or prescient."--Nicolle Wallace. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

They aren’t sharing, this is coordinated activity among them. They’ve done this time and time again and the pattern is clear.

They’ve been at this for years, it is a formula. It goes from multiple influencers -> right wing media stories -> right wing politicians repeat the “news”, all manufactured.

The only thing shocking about this story is that DHS admitted it.

Good luck with your poll tax, Donny Two Dolls.

Not bad, desperate. This is what happens when big company execs try to juice their AI usage numbers for investors, in an effort to cover their own asses over very questionable huge bets on the technology.

“Put AI in everything!”

The fall of some of these fools will be delicious to watch unfold.

They revised all of 2025 down over 50%.

Is it possible we’ve found the one job where someone can be more wrong than weather forecasting?

Something this fatally flawed in measurement really shouldn’t be relied upon for economic policy.

These numbers are a complete fantasy.

How can anyone trust numbers that are being revised by over 50%?

How can anyone be making reasonable policy decisions on data this flawed?

Seems like this entire system of measuring jobs needs to be rebuilt from the ground up for accuracy.

Being off by 50% means this is all complete fiction.

Maybe try reading the article folks. It says why and that they’ve already canceled the closure.

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."
