Ordinarily I wouldn’t recommend talking to friends and family about politics, but this isn’t an ordinary moment in America. My latest article:

Massive reduction in accidents between Waymo and the average driver. Only a matter of time before humans aren’t allowed to. Bonus- traffic will disappear because of highly coordinated digital drivers
Interesting data (from Waymo) showing that robotaxis are significantly safer than the average human driver. This is likely because they respect traffic rules. An NYT op-ed by a neurosurgeon calls for a broader adoption as a public health measure. Thoughts? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/o...

Fantastic article on the Groq "acquisition" by Nvidia. Basically Nvidia squashes its competition and sidesteps oversight, the soulless Chamath makes out like a bandit, and most of the people who actually built the new chip are completely cut out. Disgusting on all fronts

An invasion of Venezuela never made sense to me, but choking them out sure sounds like something our r*p*st pedo president would do.

Rather than launching a military invasion that would provoke public backlash and congressional scrutiny, Trump is doubling down on something more insidious.

Glad to see the kids have ditched X. Anyone still using that platform has no ethics. And don’t give me the reaching across argument- we’re way past that
Teens turn to a variety of online platforms, but YouTube continues to stand out. Roughly nine-in-ten teens report ever using it. TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat are the next most widely used platforms.

You don’t need to be a Democrat to know this is wrong — you just need a conscience. If you can hear what these people survived in ICE custody and feel no outrage, then we are not standing on the same side of right and wrong.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
