Trump's impact transcends bad policies that damage U.S. interests; he has so poisoned the well of American democracy that we no longer demand honesty or even basic decency from our leaders.
That's a fact - the damage from Trump will last generations.
The events of the past 48 hours have laid bare Keir Starmer's utter inability to stand up to Donald Trump - and this weakness could have serious consequences for the safety of British people.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.

“Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol is dead”

Given the statements from #Buffalo cops, the medical examiner, and Border Patrol, none of them should be investigating this.

This weekend is the State of the Browser conference. There will be reps of all the browsers there, and so there will be a browser vendor cage fight (except Apple, who'll secretly pay others to fight on their behalf). I've been in training, so -for all of you who asked- here is my training montage.

Sadly, I’m flying out shortly before this. But maybe a London local wants to show up in my stead?
You just need to say, “What?,” “I don’t understand,” and “Where’s the tea?”

Democracy is dying in America.
ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.
We need real leaders - not career politicians.

I will be at #SOTB2026 on Saturday, Jet-lagged and confused.
If you feel I’ve wronged you, that’s your chance to seek satisfaction. Heck, I may print cards of satisfaction and just leave them on my lap so I can nap during lunch.
Unmissable opportunity!

Basically: If you run OpenClaw connected to any meaningful system you are not fit to design, program or run any kind of software. That disregard for security and quality should leave a black mark on you for many years.
