Nothing to see here, literally! Just 6ft me standing, you read that right, standing upright in front of a truck.

You don’t get to name your kid X Æ A-12 and then say “or whatever his name is” about anyone else.

Elon Musk endorses Cuomo for mayor of New York and makes sure to add some racism in there: “…Mumdumi or whatever his name is.”
Elon Musk: Remember to vote tomorrow in New York! Bear in mind that a vote for Curtis is really a vote for Mumdumi or whatever his name is. VOTE CUOMO! 11:45 AM • 11/3/25 • 1.2M Views

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

fixed that for you
CNBC headline: "Elon Musk’s AI-powered Wikipedia competitor goes live after a rocky launch". I've struck through "AI-powered" in red, and replaced it with "Wikipedia-powered" Grokipedia attribution text: "The content is adapted from Wikipedia, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License."

Daughter of Robin Williams, Zelda Williams 💔
zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross. And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

On Twitter my entire 133+ thread of all documented 'Burned alive in my Tesla' cases is now .. completely & deliberately fucked up

No one can even view it anymore. And I was the only one keeping track

So I just published that, along with this spreadsheet #TeslaFire

@edzitron.com here's a fun Rot Economy anecdote. Facebook ads are getting through my adblocker this week and literally every single Facebook ad is a financial scam involving Canadian PM Mark Carney, often deepfakes, that lead you to a pretty convincing fake CBC website.

@edzitron.com This is what is generally referred to as an "IPO-pop", right?

@edzitron.com Hey, just noticed you’re at #9 on the trending chart on Pocketcasts. Congrats!

@edzitron.com As someone whose employer pays for GH autopilot, I've noticed a trend where it started out shitty, then actually became semi-useful (full of crap but could speed up coding somewhat) and now within the last ~2-3 months has reverted back to being borderline useless. Is this a trend?
