For every horrific act of fascist abuse you’ve seen video of in recent months, there are hundreds that you’ll never even hear about.

BCNBC •LIVESTREAM SIGN IN CLUB Jim Cramer: Why the crazy spending of this Al boom isn't like the dot-com bubble PUBLISHED SUN, SEP 28 2025•5:31 PM EDT

Ah man we’re screwed

24 hours after my Novavax Nuvaxovid Covid-19 shot and no side effects except for slight tenderness at the injection site - less than the flu shot in the other arm. Go get yours!

i love ta-nehisi coates so much

CVS in Lynnwood WA has novavax!

Costco pharmacies have the Novavax Nuvaxovid Covid-19 vaccine in Western Washington for anyone in the Seattle area looking!

He seemed to be struggling. With drinking and with not drinking of late. Always looking for work too. What a fucking condemnation of this industry that he was ever in need of it. One of his greatest pieces ever – on Haggard – was taken down by a corporation that decided it no longer needed great writing anymore. It can only be read on the internet archive . That’s just how the industry is now I suppose. In an earlier time he would have been the kind of writer being paid $5 a word by magazines to go write about whatever he pleased. And no one would be pissed off or jealous about it either. All of the rest of us scrabbling for that kind of gig just nodding in approval. That makes sense. He has that coming. A couple years ago I offered him the most money I have ever offered anyone to write for Hell World. Not as much as he deserved mind you but a lot for me. Write about literally anything you want I said. He said he would. He promised he would write something for me multiple times over the years but one thing or another always came up. Something big just around the corner was about to happen.

Put together some thoughts here.

At Walgreens and the pharmacy line is eight people deep and crawling, one pharmacist said they’re too busy to fill a pain med prescription for someone who had dental surgery, and I’m hoping they have Novavax (but no way to tell without coming in because their phone lines were jammed). Madness.

Tomorrow I put out a long premium story about Ai compute, and why I believe there’s barely a billion dollars of revenue outside of hyperscalers feeding either themselves or NVIDIA money.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

How a Beautiful Summer Day on Lake Tahoe Suddenly Turned Deadly (Gift Article) An analysis of the turbulent weather that caught people off guard, flipping over boats and killing eight people.

Somehow I missed news of this deadly storm that took many lives on Lake Tahoe early in the summer.

Gripping article outlining the storm as it overtook several boats… with no advance warning detected by weather services.

Big tech’s selective disclosure masks AI’s real climate impact Google claims to have disclosed new information proving its own efficiency. But it has hidden the bigger picture. Guess what: I’ve got the bigger picture for you right here in this big old po…

HEY friends: recently seen heaps of "disclosures" from AI companies of the energy cost per question you type into chatbots (most recently from Google)?

Presenting per-query 'efficiency' is part of big tech's efforts to hide its extremely real and happening-right-now climate impacts!

ICE Is Constantly Using Coast Guard Planes to Move Immigrants Donald Trump’s deportation henchmen appear to have dramatically increased the use of Coast Guard aircraft to transport immigrants.

The Coast Guard works for ICE now.

Coast Guard planes previously used for search and rescue have done hundreds of secret ICE flights in recent weeks, including two I watched from a public parking lot near BWI.

AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it
