Story – Pixel Envy On Thursday, Scott Shambaugh published a bizarre story about a rejected pull request from what seems to be an OpenClaw A.I. agent. The agent then generated a blog post accusing Shambaugh of β€œgatekeepi...

Yes, It’s Fascism Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse." Pretty strong case imho.

Imagine the news cycle if any president slurred his words and rambled off lie after lie after lie, the way this one does.

The slurring alone, right? Add in all the obvious signs of declining health, the absolutely unhinged, manic, sundowning posts in the middle of the night?

But it's like πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Don't fall for the manipulative "censorship" framing of EU's fines against X for DSA violations. The EU is trying to enforce their laws. X is breaking them. And the U.S. government is defending big tech, billionaries, & bullshitters rather than protecting users. www.linkedin.com/posts/daphne...

Actually that one was at least *somewhat* accurate in its use of tools, inasmuch as I think that *was* a real SGI file system UI. And then at another point in the movie they were watching something that was supposedly a live video feed but you could see the QuickTime Player timeline on screen…

As opposed to β€œThis is a UNIX system! I know this!” Followed by use of an experimental SGI file system UI that might have made it into one commercial product very briefly… (Jurassic Park, 1993)

As I recall, one of the big things about that show was their insane attention to detail around nearly all of the technology, down to the level of the specific tools being used by characters for various types of hacking

Opinion | We Are Not β€˜Property of Donald Trump’

Ive been listening to the β€œRevolutions” podcast recently, which has refreshed my memory of how monarchies have worked in history, and it is crystal-clear that Trump thinks he is a king. Bouie makes a great case here. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/o...

I’m a big fan of this practice and do it myself, but I’m fine with accepting a meeting invite that clearly explains its purpose. What pisses me off is people who set up a meeting out of the blue with no context whatsoever beyond the title. DO NOT DO THAT.
