Go on, get out of here.

we should've all been really supportive of richard branson when he was always trying to hot air balloon around the world. that could be what all these guys are doing if we'd acted like it was bad ass. at least a couple would've died by now, died balloon deaths. and all we had to do was be nice

We're in the era of incompetence & cybercrimes headlined as "unprecedented model capabilities gone rogue." So OpenAI & Anthropic are trying to one up each other with such incompetence because the "press release as a service" performing media & clueless politicians parrot pre IPO CEO talking points.

Four years ago, a coordinated right-wing smear campaign condemned Monticello for "going woke." Bridget Gillespie was working there at the time, and she gives this revelatory inside account of the harassment staff endured and ultimately how the institution buckled. Amazing piece.

Amazing story about how Starbucks launched a "Tank" marketing campaign in South Korea on the anniversary of a massacre by the military.... including a slogan referencing the beating to death of a student. AI did it. Emails were signed off unread by managers www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

I can't tell if I'm too dumb, too sleepy, or this is just one of those mind-bending facts that even smarties can have a hard time grasping.

You know that thing where the farther something is, the smaller it looks? That doesn’t quite work in an expanding universe. It’s true for a while but after a certain point, more distant things (of the same size) start to look BIGGER because their light has been traveling since the cosmos was small 🙃

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

There are so many people in this country quietly going about their days doing brilliant and compassionate and beautiful things that will never be documented and I need to remind myself of that today

I know I should quit Chrome, but even in its sorry state, it's still my comfort browser. I was given this useful workaround to get rid of that Gemini "summary" feature, and I'd like to pass it along: udm14.com

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

"Nothing good can happen and if it does then it doesn't matter" ok brother thanks for your input

I'm determined to get my fb and insta screentime down so I'm here cheating the system since it's browser time. Maybe I'm reading longform media, looking for crochet tips, or engaged in some other wholesome activity for all I know
