Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea.
I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there.
I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…
What's really shitty about this is she tries to make it sound as if using AI to animate old photos is exactly the same as using the AI enhancements in Pro Tools, etc. She knows the difference. They are not the same.
Sigh. And I was looking forward to this one, too.
Hungarian PM Péter Magyar:
"I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."

WORLD'S RICHEST MAN IS TRYING TO STAVE OFF PERSONAL FINANCIAL ARMAGEDDON BY DISTRACTING YOU WITH CAR KICKFLIPS WHILE HE ATTEMPTS TO MERGE HIS TWO COMPANIES.
There, fixed it for you FT.
The world’s richest man is preparing for the 'AI singularity' by trying to fold SpaceX and Tesla into a single company spanning rockets, satellites, internet service, chatbots, social media, robots and cars ft.trib.al/FBrypdo
Between PHPmageddon, the Indian TLS issue, and now the Node.js problems, it's beginning to feel like When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth may end up being @doctorow.pluralistic.net's most prescient short form work.
Or maybe we end up getting @timmaughan.bsky.social's Infinite Detail as a 'lil treat.
Really wild......former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has published a piece in @foreignaffairs.com that seems to be mostly a ripoff of @karenhao.bsky.social book 'Empire of AI'.....the title of the articles 'Empires of AI'
Karen's work isn't cited or mentioned at all??

Future me, writing of our Doom: The rivers are dry and we burned all the fossil fuels, leaving us a climate ravaged hellscape with no cultural or economic opportunity. But for a brief, shining moment we got to see Boba Fett throw Grogu for a touchdown with Obi-Wan calling the game. It was glorious.

NVIDIA CEO JENSEN HUANG SAYS HE BELIEVES MOST PEOPLE IN GERMANY WILL MOSTLY WORK INSIDE A DIGITAL TWIN OF THEIR COMPANY, BUILDING DIGITAL CARS WITH DIGITAL BRAINS, WITH AI ROBOTS BUILDING ROBOTIC CARS INSIDE ROBOTIC FACTORIES
We already have flying cars.
They're called helicopters.
They're really expensive and there are good reasons you have to have a pilot license and work with air traffic control to fly them.
Putting jets on a sedan is not going to result in a better vehicle or transportation experience in any way.
People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment.
If this annoys you...
This is your occasional backup reminder - if you haven’t yet, go start setting up backups of any kind.
If you think you don’t need backups, delete everything you have on the device you’re using right now.
If that seems like a bad idea then you need backups.
Every single time you get outraged by the announcement of another Juicero of the mind, DO NOT give it attention.
Share your own work, or that of another artist, or subscribe to an independent journal or magazine.
We the attending create the incentives in the attention economy.
It'd be brilliant to just schedule a screen as The Beatles Movie, and then randomly show one of the four films at each showing so you'd never know which one you were going to get.
Sony is considering releasing all 4 ‘BEATLES’ biopics on the same day in April 2028.
Another idea being considered is offering a 4-pack of tickets to encourage fans to buy tickets to all 4 films at once.

In a better world, the Apple HomeView would have been the next device after the iPod and we'd all be wondering in 2026 why we would need something called an "iPhone."
It is… really really annoying that they made the Microsoft copilot ad with the pizza place LOOK like "AI" slop outputs. Like… they copied the lighting, coloration, shaping, and weird soft roundness of "AI" generated images ON PURPOSE. Ugh.
He said I'm fabulously rich
C'mon just let's go
She kinda bit her lip
“Geez, I don't know”
But I can guarantee there'll be no knock on the door
I'm total pro, that's what I'm here for
I come from downtown
Born ready for you
Armed with will and determination

JD Vance on Talarico: "You gotta wonder what the internet search history of a man like that looks like. Ladies and gentlemen, you don't want to find out. Neither do I."
Mike Johnson threatens us with a good time: "If this group took over, they would turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They'd spend every day investigating the president, the first family, the cabinet, donors to the party, leaders of business ... "
Kind of hate that a great high-end messenger bag is so hard to find these days. Millennials have ruined everything with their backpack nostalgia and all the major bag companies really seem to be leaning into that.
House Democratic leaders have condemned the search of Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as an "abuse of power" by the Trump administration. Follow the latest updates:
FBI Director Kash Patel wants a one-year fixed price “sole source contract" with the UFC "to provide defense tactical technical training to special agents."
This isn't going to end well.

"If more books were published by men with explicitly masculine themes, would there actually be a wider male readership?"
This is very much in the Platnerian mode that presumes all men are only attracted to content by, for, and possibly about Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor.

I love taking the train between San Diego and Los Angeles since it's such a gorgeous view but there's just no way it'll still exist on the same track a generation from now.
