"Nothing like this has ever happened to me. I have several businesses. I'm law-abiding and I pay a lot of tax."

this week a very senior engineer said they'd rather keep their thing 100% vibe-coded than accept my careful addition so they had an agent poorly replicate my work without attribution

Elon Musk thinks he knows the price of some things but he understands the true value of nothing.

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

it is wednesneigh my dudes

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

If Democrats retake the majority in the Senate and I become chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, one of my first acts will be to subpoena the bankers that helped Epstein carry out his crimes and help deliver real accountability.

AI is great at things you don't know how to do

This New York Times article, which ran a week before Christmas last year, didn’t get the attention it deserved. It detailed Trump and Epstein's predatory behavior toward women – “a game of ego and dominance” in which “female bodies were currency.” Here’s a gift link and a thread. 1/6🧵

‘Don’s Best Friend’: How Epstein and Trump Bonded Over the Pursuit of Women (Gift Article)

The president has tried to minimize their friendship, but documents and interviews reveal an intense and complicated relationship. Chasing women was a game of ego and dominance. Female bodies were cur...

it’s never a great sign for your society when all the competent people who believe in doing a good job for the sake of it conclude that they’re actively being punished for these qualities, while malignantly stupid criminals are making bank

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social please enjoy this extremely technically proficient but also highly unsettling artwork. 💅

Guys functionally AI can never be agentic because it has no sense of self. Come on. We are blind to the mechanics of human thought and a claim from the most demonstrably ignorant dickheads of all time that they have somehow SIMULATED such a thing is an insult to nature

This actually explains something about how people talk about the Jewish community.
