Apparently I was added to some starter pack list, so I have like 1300 followers now. Cool cool. I'm not really trying to engage with the public so much as find a community, but if you dig what I post, please comment and maybe we'll get to know each other.
The first six months of 2029 are going to be filled with scrubbing his name off every government building. Gross
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Laura, immigrants are coming here 9 months pregnant, having a baby juuuuust inside the border to guarantee citizenship, then buying a $1M home so you can't afford one, and then getting free balls that you're paying for! This makes a lot of sense and is a winning argument

Donald Trump is a sweaty. desperate man who somehow thinks yelling at the American people about how great he’s doing and how fantastic the economy is will convince Americans he’s not panicking.

We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars.
An AI agent ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI.

"Epstein was less a financial genius than a prodigious manipulator and liar. Abundant conspiracy theories hold that Epstein worked for spy services or ran a lucrative blackmail operation, but we found a more prosaic explanation for how he built a fortune.

Bizarrely, the DoD started deploying "NIPRGPT" over a year ago. Now we have two different LLM sites locked behind CACs. Seems efficient.
OBVIOUSLY do not use AI, at all. AT ALL, for anything. I don’t wanna hear about the theoretical good version, it’s not what they’re pushing on us. The absolute worst people in the world have gone all in on this shit, and it needs to be starved out as much as possible. AI: not even once!
Sec. Hegseth rolled out the U.S. military’s new AI platform, GenAi.Mil, with a link to an empty website. trib.al/tbCJAkT
Predictably, the platform can’t actually be accessed from external networks, but the wonky rollout triggered eyerolls across the internet.

Not surprised that DHS doesn't know what a dictionary is.
They do seem to spend a lot of effort trying to prove they're not being evil.

Android launchers other than the default have had themes and icon packs for years. Google added "themed" as an icon option recently. Oh, monochrome - how exciting.

Society needs to settle on a maximum wealth level. I'd put it around $3B, but that's probably high.
Because anyone with more than a few billion knows there's no difference to their life or their heirs if they have $3B vs. $30B, so they'll spend $27B to make a world where no one can tell them "No."

a billionaire who sees undermining political sovereignty as an alternative to paying a relatively minor fine is a problem that will have to be dealt with eventually
