The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

The ultimate #Apple #Enshittification - The screen on my M3 MacBook Pro failed 2 weeks ago and got replaced. Today seemingly the macOS Tahoe upgrade fried my motherboard 🎉 and thanks to all the "glue", data from failed Macs is unrecoverable 💀. WTF. Time to look at non-Apple options.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

It occurs to me now that the discipline of history was not born out of reverence for the past, but rather out of somebody watching the people in charge make the most insane decisions and just being like “if I don’t write this down nobody’s ever gonna believe any of it happened”

Cursor just announced it’s crossed $1B in annualized revenue along with a fundraising round of $2.3B raised at a $29.3B valuation.
Everytime I get impressed by how much AI companies are making, I’m even more blown away by their spending. Still needing to raise money at $1B a year in revenue is wild

The biggest unforced error of the left is being shocked every time the right is hypocritical.
"You say people shouldn't do x, but you do x yourself!"
Of course they do. They're very open about their belief that those with privilege should get special rules. Why are you still surprised???

Today is the deadline for Apple to file its response to the Citizen Suit about its skunkworks fab 300ft from thousands of homes, two parks, & a playground.
Assumably Apple will say my complaints are meritless, I'm insane &/or a bad actor, & that its a-okay to dump arsine gas & mercury on babies.
