"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

Absolutely obsessed with framing your employees sleeping on the floor as a humble brag

“Look how hard my team works” no dude you’re just bad at project management.

Competent companies ship products without cosplaying being homeless

A tweet by Mark Kretschmann showing two photos of the xAI office on Grokipedia release day. The office is filled with small camping tents set up between desks and along hallways, suggesting that engineers have been sleeping there while working late. The caption notes it’s early morning and the engineers are still in their tents, joking that a good night’s sleep does wonders.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I vaguely remember this interview as well. It happens all the time. Daniel Radcliffe is admitting he has racist friends. The quote is "I don't think friendship should be drawn along those lines".

And it allows us to ask a very simple and direct question. Why not?

I am often reminded of this interview with actor Daniel Radcliffe, saying the quiet part out loud. They mean well, kind of, sort of, but it's not like it's all that serious.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

Curtis Silwa was asked if he felt okay with losing and contributing to Zohran Mamdani’s victory and he responded by laying into Bill Ackman and Andrew Cuomo.

In the late stages of the bubble we’re starting to see multiple “people in tech don’t really believe in all of this, honest, we just act like it because we think we have to”, but the truth is that it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’ve been acting like a true believer and you are what you do

One of my favorite photos I took today—in the heart of Chicago on Michigan Ave.. You can count many American flags, Chicago flags, pro democracy signs, & anti-fascist signs.

0 flags to a politician, confederacy, or Nazis. MAGAs claim patriotism—but its anti-fascist Americans who actually embody it.

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

The corporate myth is that embracing AI will get you results that are cheap, fast and good with fewer employees.

The reality is a lot of companies will find out they got things done for a lot cheaper and a lot faster but if definitely wasn’t good.
