Deputy Director Dan Bongino Vows "I Will Bring The Full Force Of The Bureau To Bear On 'The Man In The Stairs'"

At this point--with all the extreme posting--I'm convinced that just like his video game leveling up, Musk has outsourced his governmental destruction and is merely a figurehead riding a K-wave. He's as much of a puppet as the one he is puppeteering. It's puppets all the way down.

Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" has perhaps the most memorable opening line in all of Western literature: "I hope you motherfuckers like reading about whales"

Very much enjoying the audiobook of Denis Johnson's "The Largesse of the Sea Maiden" with readings by Nick Offerman, Michael Shannon and others (who I haven't listened to yet.) Michael Shannon's reading of "The Starlight on Idaho" is crazy good. Love it when an artist steps up to the material.

rfk jr is going to put up his proposal to ban all psych medications and pharma industry agents will pull him into a room to show a never before seen angle of his fathers assassination

We’re living in the golden age of press conferences where a weird guy on pills babbles incoherently

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

I keep seeing this "peak software engineer" graph, and I don't buy it. Some reasons: - Too short a time-series - Covid over-hiring distorted market - Too soon to see such a dramatic AI-specific effect It will go higher before it goes lower, outside perhaps dev ops, if it goes lower.

55 years after the Chiefs won Super Bowl IV in New Orleans, Patrick Mahomes has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

This is so cool and uplifting. Accessibility rocks and gives me 20 ideas to make it better and transfer it to other domains. This is where the tech industry should be focusing their development.

It’s a lesser point but the idea that AI will immediately prove a useful tool for streamlining government is by itself such a ludicrous tell. It’s a separate indicator of the staggering overconfidence these children have.

Gaga and Bruno Mars killing it in Grapes of Wrath garb doing "California Dreaming" at the Grammys. Outstanding.

Internet Archive rocks man

the reason your memory gets erased when you get born is because people would be so insanely smug to first-timers the second time they were alive

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot
