Why am I so unimpressed by these strikes? Israel and the US have failed to target significant elements of Iran's nuclear materials and production infrastructure. RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER are tactically brilliant, but may turn out to be strategic failures. 🧵 1/17

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Boy, Pam Bondi is real fucking quiet about political assassinations after being real quick to make statements about burning Teslas.

We really need to get Java out of our CS curriculum. www.theregister.com/2025/06/13/j...

"Women don’t understand money, and that would have created a perfect storm, since presidents don’t understand money either."

unlike Vietnam or Afghanistan at least the Marines coming to.L.A. know exactly what this fight is all about

I'm not impressed with how Americans deal with the rise of fascism in their country. We have listened to speeches about the constitution, rights, liberties for 250 years and this is how they are defended when at stake? Very few people seem to care, because if even a few cared we would see change.

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

The entire plot of Andor S2 is about the Empire creating a bloody civil disturbance and then blaming the resulting violence on the previously peaceful protestors.

I worry that recommendation algorithms may be getting too good.

Happy ANTIFA Day to those who celebrate.

Only ~25% of leaders around the world used to be over 60. Today it is more than half of them.

Trade policy update.

Accurate

Q&A from a talk I gave last week. Q: "What do you think is the biggest threat in cybersecurity right now? Is it post-quantum computing? Is it AI?" A: Fascism. It's fascism.

THREAD: As India launches strikes against Pakistan tonight, misinformation is rapidly spreading online. I'll fact-check viral falsehoods in this thread. This video, viewed over 660,000 times, shows Israeli air strikes on Gaza in October 2023. It's unrelated to Indian strikes tonight.

We are at the point in history where Germany is having to lecture the US on the need to fight fascism.

This is one of the reasons I am adamant that we cannot rely on material conditions to convince people that Trump is a danger. We MUST message, and we must do so repeatedly, personally, and swiftly.
