I’ve recommended RSS feeds for years as a way to curate your news feed. Now you can add a Bluesky account, too.

Trump's now obvious strategy - make the U.S. more vulnerable than ever, wait for the inevitable attack w/ massive consequences, then declare martial law, arrest anyone who opposes him, and become "King." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/u...

Thank you to @benrothke.bsky.social for featuring my book as his Book of the Month. You can read Ben's review here: www.rsaconference.com/library/blog...

The time for travel has passed.

Elon Musk on Fox News: "I've never done anything harmful; I've always done productive things. So there's some kind of mental illness thing going on because this doesn't make any sense." www.newsweek.com/tesla-recall...

"Why are you deleting photographs of black Medal of Honor winners?" seems like an incredibly easy and straightforward question for any reporter covering Trump or Hegseth, or attending a White House or DoD press briefing, to ask publicly and repeatedly.

Hardly surprising.

100% this. Which is why university counsel and leadership need to read this memo from constitutional law and civil rights experts explaining why they don’t need to follow the anti- DEI advice: app.box.com/s/2me4mszr6p...

This idiot, in this role,is as dangerous as Trump in the White House.

Let me translate two things this libertarian light nincompoop is saying: Personal liberties means doing whatever the fuck I want. Free markets means doing whatever the fuck I want. He’s an adult toddler.

If you know any anti-vaxxers, feel free to share the news that a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease is back and has just claimed its first young life - an unvaccinated child in Texas. AFAIC, the parents should be charged with negligent homicide. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

More people should stand up to blustering Donald Trump the way Nancy Pelosi did as Speaker of the House and Janet Mills just did as Governor of Maine:

This is an utterly abhorrent act and a public stain on the reputation of the United States among its peers. www.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

This is reprehensible, and monumentally stupid.

Thank you for the book review!

FACTS: 1. Danes were the first Europeans to settle in North America, 400 years before Columbus, no colonization involved. 2. Danes started a community promoting better education in California in 1911. It's called Solvang. 3. Therefore, Danes have a right to California. denmarkification.com

Holy fuck. Really?

Here are five lessons that I learned from my eight weeks of radiation treatments, just in case others may be facing the same challenge in the future. open.substack.com/pub/jeffreyc...

Democrat Lawmakers… Start going into the offices of EVERY GOVERNMENT AGENCY… DEMAND TO MEET WITH ANY REPRESENTATIVES FROM DOGE IN THOSE OFFICES. DEMAND THEY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES. PUBLISH THEIR NAMES. IF THEY REFUSE TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES, POST THEIR PICTURE AND WE’LL IDENTIFY THEM.

In light of the current political climate regarding "foreigners" and the rise of white Christian Nationalists, I thought I'd share this quote from "Yamada: The Samurai of Ayothaya", a 2010 film based on a true story about a Japanese ronin who became a bodyguard to the King of Ayothaya in Siam.

Here's Canada demonstrating what everyone should do when confronted by bullies. Make them pay.

Exactly.

This is embarassingly bad for the country, but that doesn't begin to reflect how f'd up this policy actually is.

Pay attention Musk, Bezos, Cook, Zuck, et al. This is what a CEO with integrity looks like.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

What an awful loss for his family, the industry, and the nation.

China is going to built the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, bypassing Russia and totally sidelining Moscow.

Great scientists follow intuition and beauty, not rationality

Musk's management of Twitter has never centered on any clear free speech or even ideological principles, but the simpler personalist principle that he will downgrade speech he dislikes or is critical of him, and boost his own voice and those of supporters.

It may seem strange to folks outside of academia, but there has been a line of prominent research within it arguing that misinformation isn't a problem. This paper pushes back, noting how those arguments often rely on poor definitions & operationalizations of what misinformation is & how it works.

If youre still looking for your tribe, here’s a directory of hundreds of starter packs covering all interests and searchable by keyword. Repost and check it out.

BREAKING: court finds NSO Group liable for #Pegasus hacking of #WhatsApp users. Big win for spyware victims. Big loss for NSO. Bad time to be a spyware company. Landmark case. Huge implications. 1/ 🧵

People sometimes make fun of science that sounds stupid and random. Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea

The AfD just had three members arrested for plotting a violent overthrow of governments in East Germany to install a Nazi regime.

Zuckerberg and Bezos both donated $1M towards Trump's inauguration fund. I guess $1M is the current price for access to kiss Trump's feet and beg for crumbs. www.theinformation.com/briefings/am...

Blue Eye Samurai is a must-watch. Everything about it is superb. And, of course, there's @georgetakei.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ciO...

This.

This was a misleading and poorly written piece.

Both Anduril and OpenAI are more concerned with market share than safety. This is a sure-fire recipe for disaster.
