Sorry but the Reagan Foundation owns all trademark rights with respect to the beloved character "Ronald Wilson Reagan." You can still use the version of him known as "Steamboat Ronnie."

It's amazing how the "fuck user experience" contingent have now managed to take over both open source AND private technology at this point in history.

You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

Admiral Pointdexter’s dream! Truly Total Information Awareness. I can see that creepy little goblin staring up from the porcelain vortex.

I like how they are carrying American flags, but not attacking police with them.

we are now clean on opsec

Jane Goodall's work insisting, with evidence from her brilliant and tenacious fieldwork, that we were not so separate from animals, and they were much more like us than the Eurocentric theorists asserted, was so important.

I’ve been reading Charles Bowden’s “Blood Orchid” trilogy and it seems like something you might enjoy.

Just look at what happened with solar investment - it’s astonishing.

Solar has seen the most rapid investment growth, soaring from $142 billion in 2015 to a projected $441 billion this year.

I’ll get ChatGPT 5.7434 (almost AGI!!!!) to hallucinate one up.

So sorry I wasn’t able to make it when NIN was in town. Reznor’s shows are amazing, complete sensory overload. Music for this moment for sure.
