Fact-check: True

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge’”- Isaac Asimov Podcast bros really dialed this up to 11. Any theory is as good as science

BREAKING: Moody's strips the U.S. government of top credit rating, saying presidents and lawmakers have failed to reverse rising debts.

A story of staggering hypocrisy, in two tweets.

Just catching up on the news

Probably one of the best pieces of advice to get into Big Tech… which holds 15 years after publishing. Especially about the mindset and putting in the work to prep for the type of interviews Google and similar other companies ask (This is pre-Leetcode!) steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/03/get-...

Nintendo has kept most of the Switch 2 specs a mystery, but not anymore. Digital Foundry has shared the full breakdown, including CPU and GPU clock speeds, memory info, and much more www.eurogamer.net/digitalfound...

Pretty rare that I get collector’s editions these days but I didn’t have a Doom Guy yet. This one is pretty detailed and epic.

When even HBO knows this was dumb (Taken from threads)

Hasan Piker was detained by ICE and chose to talk to cops instead of shutting the fuck up. Do not be like Hasan Piker. Be way smarter. Never. Talk. To. Cops.

I may not be good at some things, but cooking New York steak… 2 hours smoking at 225, 250 near the end to reach 140 Then quick sear on each side even though it has a nice little bark already. Delicious.

While momma sleeps in for Mother’s Day, the kids play. (Yes, Halo Infinite is rated Teen, and no, I don’t care, there’s no real adult content in it that they wouldn’t see in Star Wars or other movies where people die or kill each other)

In 2014, Russia started an unprovoked war on Ukraine, aiming to seize all of Ukraine. It launched an all-out invasion in 2022. I do not understand how anyone can possibly be taking the side of Russia and Putin. This war is not “self defense:” it is brutality and war crimes.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there! We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your unconditional love and sacrifice, doing stuff for us every day. I’ve been a parent for almost 10 years now and never realized how hard it would be, because all the moms I knew made it look so easy. Love you all!

Happy mother's day to all those motherboards out there

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.

Stop taking this administration at its word

@billshaner.bsky.social reports from the scene of a brutal ICE arrest in Worcester, Massachusetts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Tufts University student Rümeysa Öztürk has been released from an immigration detention center following a federal judge's order.

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

I’m glad I watched this batch immediately without the internet spoiling it. Even though you know Andor and Mon Mothma have to survive it I was on the edge of my seat. Another amazing speech in Andor and highly relevant to our friends who simply don’t live in the same reality as the truth anymore.

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

💰Unbelievable but true: Viktor Orbán’s inner circle keeps flaunting new Ferraris. “Orbán’s wallet” Lőrinc Mészáros—Hungary’s richest man—was just photographed in a €450K blue Ferrari 296 GTS. His son and Orbán’s son-in-law have also been spotted in Ferraris – the latter in a €600K Ferrari SF Spider.

May the 4th be with you!

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court permanently BLOCKS Trump executive order targeting my former law firm, Perkins Coie. Executive Order 14230, entitled “Addressing Risks from Perkins Coie LLP,” violates the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and is therefore null and void

💥Hungary's economic crisis is deepening. Viktor Orbán promised a “flying start,” but the country is back in recession—before Trump’s tariff war fallout has even hit. Orbán, who has ruled the country since 2010, blames Ukraine, the EU—anyone but himself. His chances of reelection are slipping away.

Mike Waltz has left the chat.

Members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks. It's a huge conflict of interest because they vote on matters that affect stock prices. So sleazy.
