Donald Trump just threatened to unilaterally destroy an entire civilization. Is there genuinely no limit to what Republicans will allow this unhinged, unwell man to do? Congress must come back to Washington to rein in this dangerous behavior immediately.

Periodic reminder that this very stable genius has the unilateral power to end all life on earth, in ~10minutes, any time he feels like it…

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

In the long run, I wonder if vibe coding will lead to more reliable software, as engineers rely more on their test suite and less on their mental “inner compiler” models? That’s been my experience. TDD, but actually for real this time…

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Invoke the 25th Amendment.

It may not be the worst aspect of the US invasion of Venezuela, but the fact that Trump cites Venezuela's failure to pump enough oil out of the ground as one of his reasons for invading is nevertheless deeply depressing.

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

This was a neat paper my friend sent me this week: arxiv.org/html/2408.10... It inspired an extended daydream… 🧵
