Once again: everyone who spent any time around Trump in the 80s and 90s during his “real estate mogul” era said that if you look him straight in the eye and tell him to go fuck himself he disengages and immediately starts looking for an exit.

After Trump was elected the first time, there was also a lot of talk about making iPhones in the US. At the time, I co-edited the sci-fi outlet Terraform, and asked @timmaughan.bsky.social to imagine what such a future might really look like. With his permission, I'm republishing the story in full:

The thing is that ChatGPT is already “research for dummies” so a book called “ChatGPT for Dummies” is thus “Research for Dummies for Dummies” Like how many levels of helpless stupidity we gonna get All of them?

Good to see @daringfireball.bsky.social continue to stray from covering Mac politics to covering politics politics, and this is a perfectly apropos insight from Arendt daringfireball.net/linked/2025/...

Floating “epihekatonic” as a word to mean “lasting merely a single century,” on the model of “ephemeral.” Any crits @bcdreyer.social?

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

i just typed in yellow jacket (local bar) to the parish (local venue) in on google, because i wanted to know how far apart those two places are, and instead google decided that was an aphorism and gave me an entirely fake definition of it i actually felt secondhand embarrassment for the computer

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

A common complaint about politicians is that they are liars. But, what this sentiment really gets at is that most politicians are *bad* liars. Democrats, for example, tend to have a halting, evasive manner when pressed. A hint of guilt. And this is the brilliance of the malignant narcissist —

A lot of people on here keep fantasizing about the moment Trump "fires" Elon Musk because Musk has stepped out too far in front of him and I'm sure that feels good, but after watching the last Musk/Trump presser I think it's worth considering that we are essentially watching a coup via elder abuse.

Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

This is an absolutely astonishing report. DOGE did a complete takeover of CFPB’s systems at the root. This is identical to worst case scenarios for the most devastating cyberattacks by foreign actors, only this is an *internal* threat

Obama v Romney may have been the contest w the smallest ideological gap between opponents, esp considering Barry’s general pessimism of the will. If Romney’d won, he’d likely have faced Hillary in ‘16 & beaten her, & then we’d have had some other Dem elected in ‘20. Obama shoulda been a 1 term prez.

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.
