More of this!

sam altman has never set off the same predator warning instinct in my brain the way that musk, zuckerberg, et al do. and i think that's because he's naturally evolved a cloak of dreamworks face to hide among his prey

Tommy Tuberville blocked military promotions for months while his party was in the minority and he can’t read or write

The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was: * first awarded under Trump * paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom * for researching *defenses* against deception * not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years

In case this won't be reported, Senate Dems are holding the floor for 30 hours to try to stall the RFK Vote! Here's the press release from Wyden's office.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

Unbelievable to me that we can't simply BUY one or two republican senators.

20 YEARS AGO TODAY: Look Around You returns with an investigation into what music might sound like in the year 2000, as judged the ghost of Tchaikovsky, as well as taking on the expertise of Synthesiser Patel and learning about Psilence spray.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

Google, some of us have trouble focusing at work and don't need an alert 3 hours before an alarm that tells me I have an alarm in 3 hours.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.
