In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen As a restaurant owner – I’m astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today’s microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow’s m…

I laughed so hard I thought I was going to cough up an organ. Every line is gold.

Q: Why did you cut snap and health care research?

Rep. Flood: We do not have unlimited money in the United States.

Once more, with feeling: the alternative to rainbow capitalism was never rainbow communism, and you are a fool if you thought it was.

«Gring ache u seckle» – nun muss der Bundesrat Trump schnell ein besseres Angebot vorlegen Die Wirtschaft und das Staatssekretariat sammeln derzeit Ideen für einen besseren Deal. Die Chancen stehen gar nicht schlecht. Aber der Bundesrat muss seine wichtigste Aufgabe wahrnehmen: Regieren.

In Switzerland, consternation and indecision about how to deal with Trump. It's like dealing with a three-year-old having a tantrum. Reason is pointless. www.nzz.ch/meinung/grin...

I had like a 3 month streak where every time I would reconfigure our supply chain and be ready to start sending out new PO’s, within 24 hours there’d be a new set of tariffs rendering 100+ hours of work meaningless.

Businesses are amoral entities that exist to make money. Complaining about rainbow capitalism is an admission that you don't like it when what is prosocial and what is profitable overlap, a sentiment that is genuinely too stupid for words.

Everybody who sneered “f*ck rainbow capitalism” had no idea how good we had it there for a while.

I do really think that being unable to give full throated support to Mamdani is a nice test of who should be primaried.

does anyone else have the problem where this is just the default way you sit at your desk

The Biden administration had wire and securities fraud charges in motion against Musk for doing this.

Elon Musk bought the election for Donald Trump because doing this, lying about the current and future capabilities of the vehicles he sells, is the foundation of his entire fortune.

The whole company is rotten to the core.

We’re surrounded by roving death traps that have been developed by a narcissist asshole, whose soul has corrupted everyone and everything involved.

They should be taken off the roads.

Thing that I as an in house lawyer find interesting about this is that Tesla was willing to delete the original file from the car, mislead the police, engage in discovery shenanigans, and fight disclosure but at the same time retained the data on its servers instead of destroying it.

HSBC = Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation. Why is a British bank named after Chinese cities? Because they were the greedy scumbags who addicted 20% of China’s citizens to opium and fought TWO wars to ensure their drug dealing stayed legal. To this day they are the most corrupt global bank.

I learned about Deferred Prosecution Agreements last night on Last Week Tonight

Which taught me that no matter what these corporations do they get a slap on the wrist then carry on Boeing, HSBC, GM … surprisingly no one ever gets put in jail even though 100s of people died in plane, car crashes

2019 – 2024 – Repeated denials and discovery stonewalling Through years of communications with the police, the plaintiffs and the court through the investigation and later the discovery process for the lawsuit, Tesla never mentioned that it had all the data that explained how Autopilot saw the crash, which everyone was seeking, sitting on its servers for years. The facts are: Tesla had the data on its servers within minutes of the crash When the police sought the data, Tesla redirected them toward other data When the police sought Tesla’s help in extracting it from the computer, Tesla falsely claimed it was “corrupted” Tesla invented an “auto-delete” feature that didn’t exist to try explain why it couldn’t originally find the data in the computer When the plaintiffs asked for the data, Tesla said that it didn’t exist Tesla only admitted to the existence of the data once presented with forensic evidence that it was created and transfered to its servers.

This whole story is insane. Tesla apparently did everything it could to avoid providing the data it had about its Autopilot crash. This is just a snippet and there's a lot more. electrek.co/2025/08/04/t...

Hey Drop, can I ask a serious question? Who do you think buys mechanical keyboards?

How the Moomins Showed Us a More Compassionate World At the Brooklyn Public Library, an exhibition on queer Finnish artist Tove Jansson's beloved characters reminds visitors of all ages that justice and joy are within our grasp.

There’s a reason Tove Jansson threw herself into writing the story of the Moomins. When World War II broke out, painting seemed meaningless. But in that moment, fashioning another world meant something — one where trolls aren’t enemies, but friends, and fairy tale conventions give way to justice.

when I learned what mensa was as a kid I asked my dad if he considered joining and he was like 'no, my sense of self-esteem is fine'

Every story on Trump and gov’t stats should reference his felony conviction for falsifying business records. Seems relevant.

the wash bears are awashin'

Tweet from emi @transfemily guy at the grocery store launched into a speech about how the government tried to abduct him and turn him "into a transsexual," then looked me over and said "this may sound strange to a native transsexual" in a vaguely apologetic tone

this is good enough to bring over

Column | Zuckerberg fired the fact-checkers. We tested their replacement. Our tech columnist drafted 65 community notes, Meta’s new crowdsourced system to fight falsehoods. It failed to make a dent.

Meta fired its fact-checkers, citing concerns of liberal bias, and replaced them with a version of X's "Community Notes." How's that going?

Well, my coworker @geoffreyfowler.bsky.social proposed 65 fact-checks debunking false posts... and only 3 got approved. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

These are the “Power Catholics.” Was raised by old world Catholic dad in traditional US Catholic Church. Opus Dei & Coney Barrett’s Catholic Cult are more like evangelicals - fanatical, no colorful people, women & girls are chattel, other religions are to be destroyed.
And they’re dead serious.

The alliance between “Tech Bros” & “Theo Bros” (via NatCon, New Founding, “the Gundo,” etc) needs *much* more attention and sunshine than it has received so far. Before the midterm election would be good. Thread.

It's like the Crusades, but now with Big Data!
And you're the problem they're going to solve.

This could’ve been us if Biden and Garland weren’t stupid cowards

i really want everyone to read this because Dems are not going to win by default. new Republicans will run and they’ll say the right things to win. people will get fooled or maybe just agree.

Dems need real candidates up and down the ticket or we never escape this mess.

it's probably fine how AI is rapidly making people not trust anything they see, surely this won't have calamitous long term effects on civilization

US warns ICC member states to drop proceedings against Israel

My parents are post-war Germans, born the year Israel was founded. You couldn’t have found stronger supporters than them. Lots of discussions over the last decades and they didn’t bunch one inch. They are done now.
