Work hard, stay humble, be nice to people. He/Him. You’re going to get a random mix of thoughts on geeky things, building software, saving democracy, EVs and dogs. Skeets are my own.

Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.

The fact that Dem candidates still listen the consultants that managed to lose to Trump twice still has me miffed.

This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”

To all the radical women who have made the world better, especially those women who radicalized us, thank you.

I dunno, Americans' reaction to Sandy Hook and the steady stream of dead school children since then kinda says we have the collective object permanence of a fruit fly.

There MFers never change! How much money are we spending right now per day to bomb Iran? But when it comes time to taking care of veterans? Nope, can't do that. It's fitting they love to play "Born in the USA" at their events. 🤬

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

The thing is Americans did vote for this (not voting is a vote) and until we stop letting folks off the hook on this, things are not going to get any better.

Trump chose to kill those girls in Iran.
It's his war, not America's. A THREAD.

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

The below quote is from Hegseth's pastor, Brooks Potteiger, speaking at one of Hegseth's prayer gatherings at the Pentagon. This is what they think about Tomahawk missiles that fall:

you do not need to wait for jesus to “come back.” dig through the rubble of any bombed out apartment complex, office building or, yes, girls’ school, and you’ll find him there, covered in dust.

No worries. That is neat. I have played a bit with "light painting" a bit, but that is a truly cool result. I love when photographers seamlessly meld the science and the art. 👏

Not insurmountable, but it is a factor (on both sides), and it seems like the folks running the national campaigns want to neither acknowledge that nor make necessary adjustments. It's a different flavor of dealing with the electorate you have not the one you want.

Probably good, because when this is over, he's not going to be able to leave the borders of the US without getting arrested for war crimes.

Two of the worst traits of journalism (persistently horny for the theatre of war + impossibly credulous about chatbots to the point of pathology) are combining in a terrible new way

At the end of the day, they believe their wealth will insulate them from the consequences of their actions. It's not unreasonable to believe that.

It’s probably too late for this.

But it would be beyond meaningful to see my dad recognized at the “In Memoriam” part of the Oscars.

He died in June.
He worked for decades in the movie business, marketing movies. Big movies. Like Star Wars.

I can’t express how much it would have meant to him.

Trump’s “Warflation” Has Just Begun If he were trying to increase prices on purpose, would he be doing anything differently?

When economists say the president can't really do much to change prices, what they mean is he can't do much to *lower* prices.
