Love that the GOP messaging is “you’re racist and I’m white!” like sure not wrong for the GOP base but as flawed as we are most Americans don’t go for this shit.

So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 6d agoPeople still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.
one policy debate we deserve but are never going to get to have is what demands to be done to make blue states and cities whole after this presidency

Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Appalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.
I feel like takes scoffing at the idea that people could have addictive behavior patterns relating to LLMs are likely to age poorly
Absolutely had to check this one because it couldn’t be real. It’s real.
A lot of people hate this genocidal demon. Democrats should advertise that they intend to hunt Elon Musk for sport if elected - I agree.
Wajahat Ali@wajali.bsky.social · 6d agoDemocrats should run on investigating Musk and holding him accountable for DOGE www.axios.com/2026/07/29/m...
It’s implicit these days but feels so good to say: FUCK ICE!

Gil Durán@gilduran.com · 6d agoLooks like Gavin Newsom is going to bat for California Forever, the Network State "tech utopia" project backed by Marc Andreessen and other tech billionaires. 70% of local residents oppose it. But the billionaires hired Newsom's favorite lobbyist. Welcome to Sacramento. nypost.com/2026/07/29/u...
Have literally been saying this for years! We were the same year in school (different but related schools) and he was an idiot now and an idiot then. Thiel loves a useful idiot.

This keeps making me more and more mad. How the hell do you say you’re doing journalism when you do this? You have to literally create an imaginary world to make this a show of strength from Trump. It’s the opposite of a threat; it’s an admission of weakness.
Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 6d agoWhat a horribly bad framing. The president can’t get his own party to vote for his own nominee that they confirmed for the next-rung-lower role just last year! That’s not a “threat,” you incompetent people.
Odd article, premised on idea that Warsh is a big inflation fighter and needs to act early to confirm that rep for markets. But Warsh got the job because the Prez wanted LOOSE monetary policy. He can stiff the president, sure. But what's the basis of the assumption? www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/b...
Markets Challenge Warsh’s Approach to Taming Inflation
Kevin M. Warsh has made controlling inflation the top priority of his tenure as Federal Reserve chairman. But his hesitancy to embrace the possibility of higher borrowing costs has sparked a backlash.

imagine getting dunked on by Playboy for being weird about women’s bodies
Playboy@playboy.com · 6d agoWhat are the incel men up to over on X? Focussing on a quirk of women’s bodies most of us have never even thought about before now. Our take?

Aright I followed the main character for like a day because I was annoyed by people who were annoyed by him but I’d like to own that is he definitely very annoying.
It's genuinely insane that it's a mainstream belief that the problem with COVID was that we did *too much* to address it.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Rep. Ogles: "Look, I don't want to play down the effects of the virus, but at the end of the day it had a roughly 1 percent mortality rate. We coulda gotten through this."

When coding with AI agents, you quickly realize that generating code is becoming cheap and fast, while verification (testing, reviewing, securing, and integrating it) remains the real bottleneck and still requires substantial human oversight. 🤷
I'm weirdly happy People decided to publish this article. this lady got very close to the peak and decided to turn back because she wasn't totally confident in her technical ability. That's praiseworthy wisdom, and a good example for others. share.google/d8Xi4aZ8aKkW...
