Apple so seemingly considering paid search results in maps. What an insanely innate idea. No Tim, this is *not* a product enhancement. www.macrumors.com/2025/02/16/a...

Reading about the UK’s implementation of an ETA (Eletronic Travel Authorisation) and besides the vapid justification (“many other countries are doing it too!” is not a good rationale), it kinda sounds like a visa? For people who don’t need a visa?

Too many people have sort of given a pass to RFK Jr because of his dumb brain worm story (which he uses to avoid paying alimony) or his “old guy jacked on steroids” persona. The reality is that he’s pure shit.

This was such a fun and endearing read (peppered with historical discoveries! Deep knowledge of a topic but written in a very accessible way! Walk!). It felt a but in the same vicinity as @craigmod.com - who I’m sure will enjoy this.

As I said to a reporter today: DOGE is not a management project, centered on efficiency; it is a political project, centered on shrinking the federal government and politicizing core functions.

Your regular reminder that Musk is a grifter. It’s all a grift, save for the money he’s expecting to make and the ego.

I look at the circus that US politics has become and I’m still not sure why some critics didn’t like Don’t Look Up.

Very sad. And infuriating that the proposal for a Webb Centre for Public Transparency to be hosted by HKU was rejected by the university's senior management, despite donors standing ready to fund its endowment.

Isn’t it incredible that the same people who were shouting “we can’t trust the Covid vaccine! It hasn’t been tested enough!” are the same people that are clapping at the defunding of the very place doing medical trials to guarantee treatment safety.

Funny, we used to say something very similar in Hong Kong. Then the government created a parallel legal system for politically sensitive cases, stripped defendants of due process protections and asked Beijing to "interpret" any rulings they didn't like. You can't rely on the courts to protect you.

“Ah ah man you remember when the US went all “oh yeah France? Well guess what - now we’ll call them Freedom Fries!”. They’ll never top that level of ridicule” Good times

I hope people understand there are going to be months and months of cherry picked government DOGE datasets twisted into unrecognizable shapes and turned into fake "scoops" to justify endless demonization of popular and essential government services

I’m not exactly in the loop for these movies but… it certainly feels like there’s been zero marketing (for a movie of that kind) for the new Captain America movie.

Absolutely, utterly insane. It’s literally a coup and Musk is all to happy to exploit 20 yo guys who lack any ethics or good judgement to do his bidding.

Senator Raphael Warnock ahead of the vote on RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary: "I simply do not trust him to oversee the CDC. He's unqualified, and I dare say that everybody here knows it." BOOM! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The insanity of seeing someone as morally bankrupt and unqualified as RFK Junior get vetted for Health Secretary by a Senate committee.

Andreessen Horowitz hiring Daniel Perry exemplifies what debates over preferential treatment are really all about. White men are actually rewarded professionally and personally by other white men for their willingness to commit acts of violence against people who threaten white male dominance.

Everywhere you look in the life of Kennedy he’s been a piece of shit. And that’s before the death toll of suspending vaccines enters the picture.

How can a Word document, in the year of the lord 2025, crash and be nowhere to be found. 6 hrs of work through the window on a whim. HOW? Fun fact - another document I created earlier today and didn’t save a single time is right here in recovery, zero problem. Again, HOW?
