Meet CoreWeave, the AI industry’s ticking time bomb The debt-laden AI compute company has been boosted by Nvidia.

Most folks know I've been banging the drum about the AI bubble for awhile, and this brilliant piece from @lopatto.bsky.social dramatically reinforces that hypothesis and is as meticulously researched as it is brutal:

@spudwaffle.bsky.social has landed a change allowing side by side settings and maps (only present on desktop to make it easier to make maps in the mapper)

I added a feature so you can see the mean statistics for your friends!

The degree to which every single major journalist seems to just hate math is palpable in almost everything

The intolerance default being set to Warn but rudeness being set to Hide feels like a parody of mastodon-style sentiments regarding discourse norms. Is there, like, a reason this is happening here now?

The ending of Torchwood S1 is the funniest thing ever, they do the most unsubtle Christ analogy I've ever seen, down to Harkness being betrayed by his followers, dying for their sins in a fight with the literal devil, him being ressurected on the third day, and being taken away by God (the doctor)

Breach Party

This Weeks Editorial Cartoon: Breach Party

It is of course helpful to remember that in the Trump regime, every accusation is a confession. Antifa might not be organized, but the Department of Homeland Security sure is. George Soros might not be paying professional protesters, but right-wing media personalities are bankrolled by Trumpist billionaires. In the case of Ben Shapiro, that’s billionaires Dan and Farris Wilks; for Rumble, thank Peter Thiel. This is to say nothing of Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, or Elon Musk’s X, or the Daily Caller itself, which is funded by Charles Koch. Indeed, the memo’s description of the environment that leads to terroristic violence applies cleanly to the entire right-wing ecosystem. But perhaps the most striking accusation-as-confession is this paragraph from the national security presidential memorandum: This political violence is not a series of isolated incidents and does not emerge organically. Instead, it is a culmination of sophisticated, organized campaigns of targeted intimidation, radicalization, threats, and violence designed to silence opposing speech, limit political activity, change or direct policy outcomes, and prevent the functioning of a democratic society. What is this but an elegant encapsulation of the past 10 years? It describes everything from the removal of Jimmy Kimmel from the air to the Libs of TikTok pattern of incitement to Charlie Kirk’s Professor Watchlist to Fox News’ defamation of Dominion Voting Systems and its employees to the celebrity worship of people like Kyle Rittenhouse. What is this entire anti-terrorism memorandum if not an admission that terrorism works, and that terrorism has secured the White House?

a verge feature story with the headline / subheadline of "Everything is terrorism in Trump’s America / Identifying faceless ICE agents. Mutual aid for jailed protesters. Calling JD Vance a fascist. The war on ‘antifa’ is a war on free speech, and it’s just getting started."

Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties. Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go. “I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up,” Jones said. “I asked if they had a warrant, and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.”

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops").

Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.
