Democrats refused to fund DHS because federal agents were shooting U.S. citizens.

No accountability? No check.

I won't be attending the State of the Union address.

I’m not interested in hearing another campaign rally full of lies.

In my model one agent is designated for that purpose. It does not write code or contribute. It approves, reviews, and unlocks. It’s a singleton, sure, but it can manage a large enough army of coders that the ability to parallelize stories is the effective bottleneck

LLMs behave more like humans than deterministic programs β€” including blind spots.

So Maestro:
– assigns distinct roles (PM, architect, engineer)
– uses different models for different roles
– enforces workflow + security in software
– runs autonomously until blocked

Model diversity > monoculture.

What if AI agents were structured like a high-performing engineering team instead of one β€œsuper agent”?

I’ve been building an open source system exploring that idea. 🧡

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.

No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.

Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?

No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

If you want leaders that won’t appear as the perps in the Epstein files, elect women.

Crypto Takes a Deep Slide Despite Trump’s Support

I don't know where this ends, but a run on a thing with no fundamental value has no natural floor > zero. It's not currency, it's not a store of value, it's just a speculative thing that survives only as long as someone wants it. Eventually, it's a beanie baby. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/t...

If anyone thinks what's in the Epstein files is just what rich, privileged people do: no. This isn't what most rich people do. You need to be a special kind of fucked up to even think about this stuff.

Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino.

They must all resign and be held accountable.

Stella Carlson - known as "Pink Jacket Lady" - is a hero!

Anderson Cooper is gentle as she recounts how her phone & whistle don't feel like enough.

And yet, with them, she created irrefutable evidence of Alex Pretti's murder. And now gives a sincere & articulate call for justice.

Zero degrees seem like the right conditions to protest ICE. Out marching in Logan Square today.
