Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.

NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him

Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.

In 2023, concept art was revealed by Super Mario RPG artist Jiro Mifune where the party was inspired by The Three Musketeers, and included Wario. The posts were soon deleted, but I have restored the images to the best of my ability.

In November 2023, Super Mario RPG artist Jiro Mifune shared early concepts where the party was themed after The Three Musketeers. The posts were soon deleted, but were preserved by Super Mario RPG expert pidgezero_one. The photos are taken at oblique angles and have very low contrast. I have enhanced them to the best of my ability. Translations of the original text accompanying the concept art are provided. MARIO The Captain of the Royal Guard of the Mushroom Kingdom. A swordsman with a long and distinguished career. LUIGI Deputy Commander of the Royal Guard of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario's younger brother. QUEEN PEACH Queen of the Mushroom Kingdom. This time, she is imprisoned in the Slug Kingdom. KINOPI the name is just Kinopio (Japanese for Toad) A rookie soldier in the Royal Guard of the Mushroom Kingdom. The older brother of the kidnapped Toads. WARIO A soldier in the Royal Guard. He was once a leader of a band of thieves, but had a change of heart. KING KOOPA King of the Turtle Kingdom and their No. 1 knight. Captured by the Slug Kingdom, but joins Mario later. Source: pidgezero-one.notion.site/Jiro-Mifune-1acf6519baf34a7fbed21dca2ba35044

Trump has been peddling his protection racket idea since the 1980s! He called for ending defense alliances unless they paid for protection during the Iran-Iraq tanker war in the Persian Gulf. Trump spent more than $100,000 for a series of full page ads in the NYT & other major papers to promote it.

I heres nothing wrong with Americas Foreign Defense Policy that a little backbone cant cure. An open letter from Donald J. Irump on why America should stop paying to defend countries that can afford to defend themselves. DONALD JOHN TRUMP To The American People: or decades advantage of the united statnations have been taking The saga continues unabated as we defend the Persian Gulf. an area of only marginal significance to the United states for ita oil suppite. but one upon which Japan and others are these natiOns no： are almost totally Anyone united states ot then the datoe dollara we are losing to protect their intereste? Saudi Arabia, country whose very existence is in the hands of the United states, last week refused to allow us to use their mine sweepers (which are, madly, far more advanced than ours) to police the Gulf. The world.to laughing at America's politicians aa ve protect ships we don't own. carrying off we don't need, destined for allies who won't help. Over the yeard, the Japanese, unimpeded by the huge costs of defending themselves (as long as the United state will it for freel. have built a strong and vibrant economy with unprecedented surpluses. They have brilliantly, managed to maintain a weak yen against a strong dollar. This, coupled with our monumental spending for their, and others, defense. has moved Japan to the forefront of world economies. tow that the tides are turning and the yen is becoming strong the dollar, the Japanese are openly complaining and, in typical our politicians are reacting these unjustified complainte. Its tine for us to orditpay vast deficits by making Japan, and others who can afford Our world protection is worth hundreds of billions of doliars to these countries, and their stake in their protection 1o far greater Make Japan, Saudi Arabia, and others pay for the protection we extend as allies.

"President Trump told Fox News the US may take over the strait in the future if they have to & collect tolls. The president described this as the US being the guardian angel of the Strait of Hormuz & Middle East. He said that would involve the US taking 20% of the oil that passes through the strait"

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

My not-so-hot take is that what Mamdani is doing *IS* incrementalism, and the bar is so deeply in hell that a politician just doing *anything* good consistently is a total anomaly for people. And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible.

A post from @matzollerseitz.bsky.social reads: “So what I'm getting from this is, incrementalism is bullshit and we should just do the stuff that we say would be good for society” And the post is quoting a post from @owillis.bsky.social that reads: “They call him WIN-dani Mamdani delivers promised rent freeze on 1 million rent-stabilized apartments https://www.politico.com/news/2026/06/25/mamdani-delivers-promised-rent-freeze-00977449”

These corporate Democrats who are freaking out truly believe that voters should not have the right to disrupt this good thing they and their friends have going. They’ve now bitterly denounced every single path challenging their continuing power as disastrous and disloyal. It ain’t subtle.
