All tech bros are also would be finance bros. This is called “diversification”.

Wait are they trying to make him look cool or what?

Thinking about that movie “The Matchmaker” today.

[Wayne Manor] ALFRED: and why do we fall, Master Bruce BRUCE WAYNE: because you keep tying my shoes together A: that’s right, you spoiled little bitch

Apropos nothing some of us have been building and successfully launching rockets since we were 6 years old thanks to this amazing tech estesrockets.com

We have won back what we had before (only More damaged).

lol Kash trying to treat senate testimony like an earnings call.

Has @gallego.senate.gov ever heard of Kyrsten Sinema because she did exactly this and ended up hated and unable to win her own primary against wait lemme just google who that was

Great to see @lindymorrison.bsky.social back where she belongs, doing what she loves, creating music and living life. And the SnarskiCircusLindyBand are always a good time for the audience too. Good on you, Lindy. www.abc.net.au/news/2023-09...

Pouring one out for Old Major today

As someone whose lungs are messed up from growing up in a working class industrial Detroit neighborhood, this makes my blood boil. Dr. Oz, RFK Jr. would say that it's our fault for having these chronic conditions instead of... well, racist environmental policy.

they're going to put indulgences on the blockchain

As a former AnSoc and current shitlib it’s really annoying being reminded that all the things puzzling me about “irrational behavior” of current regimes are explained perfectly by Marx.

yes, ChatGPT is in schools; there are K-12 school districts and DOEs entering into AI contracts, too. so rather than panicking over the death of academia as a foregone conclusion—particularly when LLMs are frequently wrong—why don't we talk about the climate costs of AI? my latest @teenvogue.com

if they end the conclave quickly that means the pope is probably guilty

Ok. He just detests everyone, especially the people who elected him.

Alcatraz is a national park.

Given the RFK floride remarks going around today I’m amending my possibilities list: They’re trying to turn us into the UK sans NHS.

my reaction to this is not "oh Trump's losing it" it's "the entire point of fascism is that the leader declares reality and everyone else has to follow it".

Had my first actually positive experience with AI (Copilot) on Friday. It generated some documents it would have taken me 30-40 minutes to find samples of and write myself. I spent the time it saved scrolling here tho.

if you know a lot of stuff i think it is your moral duty to be kind and excited when people learn stuff for the first time. the world is full of stuff we don't know about, don't be mean

This is true, but the larger scam pattern (web3/metaverse/crypto/etc) is what many of us are trying to give voice to — folks have to recognize that letting those bad actors define "tech" is just like media letting bad actors frame every other "debate". It's losing before we even start.

“The son of God was born an outcast to tell us that every outcast is a child of God.” -Pope Francis

Please Please please open the show with some poetry.

As an avid reader of both HL Mencken and JK Galbraith I don’t find any of this surprising.

My best guess is the “fire Powell” Rhetoric is not really about actually firing Powell, though I’m sure he would love to do it. I think it’s more about turning Powell into the new Fauci and the Fed into the CDC. He needs a scapegoat so his followers never blame him for the failures ahead.

"Today’s builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of hell." [Pope Francis, 18 April 2025]

Rent seekers gonna seek.

today in Venture Capital and Private Equity from Pitchbook: lol, all deals are turbo fucked by the tariff shit and the investors aren't getting paid out this year, suck it

i can't believe leftists don't want to crush the innocent in service of returning to the clinton years

Back in ancient times there was a guy who posted to alt.anarchism who spent basically all his time going off on Chomsky and how horrible the left was in the Spanish civil war. 20 years later he turned up in the SSC comments section angry that Daniel Boone was done dirty by modern history text.
