Let’s hope that Tik Tok is disabled tonight at midnight and all day tomorrow and Monday. Which means the biggest story on Monday will be… And the reaction from the newly installed President will be …

Justin Trudeau’s biggest mistake? Not going on Joe Rogan.

You mean he’s not taking Lindsey Graham with him? Gosh, I hope they find a nice shelter for Lindsey. Maybe someone will adopt him—although I wouldn’t hold my breath on that.

Bravo, @anntelnaes.bsky.social. I guess the new slogan for the Washington Post ought to be: “Newspapers die in cowardice.” anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

This is a cubed croissant. A croissant made into a cube. It's fine, but after some pondering and deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that a croissant shaped like a croissant is perfectly fine, it's right there in the name, and that the world did not need a cube-shaped one.

Elon Musk pens German newspaper opinion piece supporting far-right AfD party Hmnn! Elon has assumed an outsized role in global politics. Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.

Erling Haaland has a certified case of the “stay humble eh?” yips

You have to respect others' opinions... Their opinion: 3² = 6 😳

CNN is hopelessly broken. 1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law. 2. It would violate several treaties. 3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

Since Trump won re-election — this time with the popular vote — many of the most influential people in America seem to have lost any will to stand up to him as he goes about transforming America into the sort of authoritarian oligarchy he admires. Call it the Great Capitulation.

One after another, the billionaire media and social media bosses - Bezos, Zuckerberg, Soon-Shiong, Benioff - bend the knee to Trump. No wonder Trump himself is bragging about having "tamed" the US media. For once, he's not lying.

Remember the FBI informant who claimed President Biden took millions in bribes from Burisma? He admitted today in federal court that he made the whole thing up. And that he started spinning new lies after meeting with Russian intelligence. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Bought a new monitor on Black Friday. Now I can see my code fail in 4K.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

So a sex fiend, a dog killer, a Russian asset, a Christian nationalist and an anti-vaxxer walk into a bar The bartender says, "Why are you here? The Cabinet is meeting over at the White House." New column drops later today

In April I predicted LLMs were reaching diminishing returns. 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁. 6 related predictions below for 2024 also were correct. That leaves 1 open: 𝗱𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗽𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. Hasn’t happened yet but could—as the implications of slowdown set in.

This moment feels bigger than an election. It’s the end of a 10-15 year cycle. A deep energy shift. Political analysis will only get us so far. Looking for the sociologists, historians, culture writers, religion /spirituality workers to help make sense of it all.

Could this be Vladimir Vladimirovich’s way of saying to his friend Donald Frederickovich, “Urine trouble if you don’t do as I say?”
