Agreeing with a Dick Cheney endorsement and a John Yoo legal analysis on presidential powers is also on my list.

I don't know much, but I do know this: there is going to be a sudden spike in inflatable frog costumes.

It's probably already begun.

I'd love to see a fresh Chomsky style "column inches" analysis of what the NYT does - and doesn't - spend time on (and direct attention towards).

Okay, it's time. I have a prized Cult of the dead cow Zippo lighter. These simply do not exist anywhere. But a CDC member is hurting and I want to encourage donations to the GoFundMe, so out it goes. Details in thread.

Pope Leo XIV says he will "stand with" Catholic leaders in protecting immigrants facing mass deportations in the U.S., according to advocates who recently met with the Pope.
Pope Leo will ‘stand with’ Catholic leaders in protecting immigrants’ rights, advocates say
The comments from the pope mark the most recent push from the Vatican against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

Always upload fake age verification. This is not legal advice, it is security advice.

At first the Discord hack didn’t seem that bad because it was initially the third party help desk.

But then you find out they had got there age verification data. Come to find out they got 1.5 TB of government id and age verification data. This is going to become a case against age verification.

Who here is going as an AI generated image for halloween?

6 fingers perhaps? What other clues?

Relatedly, have folks been caught committing crimes with AI prosthetics in order to create deniability in court?

Hopefully for violations of state crimes as well. As long as these degenerates stay within the grace of Trump they will be eligible for a pardon. Trump has already shown he's willing to use mass pardons on violent criminals.

If I was a municipal dictator: every parking spot in the city must be covered with solar cells. Also, every bus shelter.

Violators will be fined 2x the cost of installation of solar cells per year.

ICE's tragically hilarious lies: "he fled from authorities and remained an immigration fugitive for more than 23 years."

That famous method of fleeing from authorities by remaining a famous local fixture with a celebrated business that poses with the President of the United States in photo ops.

For what it’s worth:

Speaking as a showrunner with two writers rooms going on now, this article from Ankler is insane. I don’t know who the insider is, but the reporter should call bullshit. This is a GPT press release.

The “GPT-5 pass” has gone from curiosity to mandate. Scripts, trailers, pitch decks are all being filtered through an AI model that remembers every draft and forgets what originality looks like. @erikbarmack.bsky.social on Hollywood’s uneasy reset:

Try substituting other futurist technologies, like, "We know this laser guns are ridiculously powerful, but the only way forward is to get them out there in big numbers and figure it out."

If they think that they work in security and not in safety, I would double down on my previous assertion.
