Mark Cuban is a funny case of getting hit by the lucky stick. He sold his streaming company at the peak of the bubble and the company never amounted to anything in the long run. Bless his heart he made a crap ton of money but he doesn’t have any special insight that the average Joe doesn’t.

People are harshing on some “diverse reading challenge” thing that’s going around, and I get it, but looking at what you read and asking yourself “what isn’t represented here?” is imo a good and healthy practice

Two gas station clerks talking about manager. She: “Fuckin drinks fireball.” He: “Not even real whiskey.” S: “Fuckin eats brownies.” H: “Can’t drink like a man or smoke like a man.” S: “Not a real manager, either.” H: “Nothing with ‘man’ in it applies to him.” She, leering: “Oh, don’t I know it!”

More AI cyber security bullshit, comparing AI agents to real human pentesters. There's a lot of EXCEPTIONALLY spurious findings here, all of which are irrelevant because the way gen AI operates it would trigger IoC detection immediately in a real environment. arxiv.org/pdf/2512.09882

Tangentially: "Drawing attention" has become an ENORMOUS built-in part of working in creative fields, and people who can do that effectively start out waaaaay ahead of people who are actually good at doing the job itself well. (Sometimes people can do both, of course!)
i think a (perhaps underappreciated) aspect of this whole situation is the extent to which every elite profession is filled with people who excel at drawing attention and want to be famous more than they want to do the actual job

Detainees, often with no criminal record, were subjected to what is unambiguously torture at Ron DeSantis' so-called "Alligator Alcatraz" in Florida. There need to be criminal prosecutions
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz
Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison
