For those that disagree with me on AI, this article does a good job explaining your position and why he thinks you are right open.substack.com/pub/garymarc...

EO ending school vaccine COVID mandates. OK COVID didn’t kill many children, but killed many obese parents and healthy grandparents. Next up, lawsuits to end other vaccine mandates for schools as these diseases are now so uncommon they also do not kill children? www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

A good compilation of all the lows of the first month of the Trump regime. Is blundering and flailing the strategy or just incompetence? open.substack.com/pub/andrewsu...

Exclusive: Federal workers have filed an emergency motion requesting a restraining order to disconnect the DOGE server that's being used to conduct Trump's "deferred resignation program." The workers had previously accused DOGE of illegally bypassing a mandated privacy audit. By me at @wired.com:

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Another big lie, this time we get a 25% tax increase cloaked as a tariff. Last year, Fentanyl deaths decreased roughly 14.5%, as the opioid addiction epidemic slowed down. It was not caused by Canada, Mexico or China. Tax Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family. www.npr.org/2024/11/14/n...

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

While it’s really all about creating more outrage to get more engagement, in reality they are throwing more fuel onto a raging fire that is now threatening to destroy the world.

What an ingrate move to denigrate the only state that gave him the space and freedom to innovate. None of these tech bros could have done what they did anywhere else but in tolerant and inclusive places like California or Washington www.thedailybeast.com//zuckerberg-...

The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity

Thank you Joe Biden and the CBP for intercepting the 3,000 fake Gibson guitars before being sold by e-commerce merchant. Where there is grift there will be massive graft. www.latimes.com/california/s...

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of them are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

We should acknowledge that MAGA and Trump’s victory were enabled by internet platforms whose business models reward fear and outrage. Dems had 8 yrs after FB enabled Trump and never had a floor vote in either chamber on a single bill that could possibly have addressed the harms. 🧵1/x

1/ HOW TO TRIAGE AN IMMIGRATION EMERGENCY As someone who has been defending non-citizens in deportation proceedings since 2006, I am here to tell you that we know exactly who Trump's top targets will be, & how we can try to protect them NOW. NOT LEGAL ADVICE but here's what we know about priorities

WIRED has tracked thousands of US military & intel personnel coming & going from classified sites, incl. NSA hubs & nuclear vaults. We know where they sleep, what they eat, and which brothels they visit. It's an ocean of blackmail & national secrets within reach of every spy agency in the world.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

The appointment of Stephen Miller as Trump’s deputy chief of staff is an ominous sign of how extreme the Trump White House will get. Miller’s core focus has been immigration policy. He will oversee illegal deportations, asylum seeker expulsions, and anti-immigration policy.
