GPS spoofing around the world for the past week.

Full transparency, we prefer leaders who actually read the bill before voting on it.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Lauren Oyler · Ha ha! Ha ha! Jia Tolentino It may be risky for a millennial author to declare herself delusional and claim that scamming is ‘the definitive...

Is Lauren Oyler a misogynist, too? Maybe Jia Tolentino is actually awful.

Is this the same Jia Tolentino whose parents owned slaves?

This was a horrific piece, complete with a dose of blood libel. Jia is a terrible person, beneath the standards of The New Yorker.

I need your help to reach open source Scotland. This year the Open Hardware Summit will be in Edinburgh May 30/31. I'm so excited about the lineup. We welcome anyone new or experienced working on making and sharing work - from industry to artwork. Highlights below 2025.oshwa.org

I miss the days when "consipiracy theorists" talked about Bigfoot, UFOs, the Bermuda Triangle, etc. I would read all sorts of quack publicications (remember the Forteans and LOOMPANICS?) detailing things like ball lightning (real but often exaggerated), spontaneous human combustion, and ESP....

Are you a UFOlogist?

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand.

You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls

RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

Howdy!

Nah! They'll keep using their Johnson Viking Valiants on 75 meter AM and won't even notice the tariff.

This is what happens when everyone knows gramps shouldn't be driving but no one wants to take away his keys.

I can't help but think there's _someone_ he hopes to enrich, maybe his cy*pto friends? But I agree -- he's not playing 4-D chess here.
