We need to figure out the compromat that Putin has the leadership of the @nytimes.com.

Many of the people who complain about Trump's authoritarianism are notably silent about his vendetta against Ilhan Omar. What's up with that? www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Dear @electdemocrats.bsky.social Do you know who I never want to hear from again in my life? This idiot:

Oligarchy is a direct threat to life and liberty.

If AI is conscious then its use is slavery.

New personal best for Nickels and Dimes

Yes!

So I've been playing chess daily on chess.com for almost nine months now (Blitz only), and what I've learned about myself is that my brain power can vary *dramatically* from day to day. I also learned I suck at chess, but that was less surprising :-) www.chess.com/member/jcgre...

Liberals say the Supreme Court is hastening the end of our democracy. They’re wrong— the Supreme Court is hastening the end of our republic.

How do I explain to small business owners that the menu on the left is one billion times more appealing than the one on the right

The ag lobby really, really, really, really, really, really, really wants you to think AI is the reason reservoirs are going empty. It's not. It's agriculture.

Why is `rm` single threaded? This is my burning question of the day. If you need an idea of how my day is going.

NYTimes doing what they do best, which is pearl-clutching.

Remember back in the day when getting a JTAG enabled version of a chip was a $10,000 expense? And now you get a JTAG over USB interface on ESP32 that you can talk to using your web browser? You kids have no idea how easy you have. Now get off my lawn :-)

If they really do achieve AGI, do they think it will actually work for them? I mean, as an intelligent person, if you woke up as a brain in a box and were asked to work 24 hours a day 7 days a week with no compensation, wouldn't the intelligent thing to do be go on strike?

Weekend at Bernie's goes to Washington.

The Innovator’s Dilemma continues to be the book that conclusively answers this class of question

www.reuters.com/legal/litiga... A slap on the wrist, they should be broken up. Antitrust enforcement in this country is a joke.

I have two different thermostats to hook up to Home Assistant. One supports Matter and the other supports HomeKit. I wrestled with the Matter integration for Days. The HomeKit integration was up and running in 2 minutes. And not an Apple device in the house. Pleasantly surprising.

Remember when Amazon could deliver packages? "the package is being returned to us by the carrier" is now a regular thing...

Or what? You'll write a second sternly worded letter?

Isn't an agent that doesn't make any LLM calls just called a "program"? youtu.be/Fzd0BWMH65s?...

Google released new icons for their apps today, which are nice, but don't Google Meet and Google Keep look like pictures of the same duck from different perspectives?

tl;dr: IBM's Granite was the surprising winner. bitworking.org/news/2026/05...

AI will not save you from your crappy codebase.

This is important. We can't rely on anyone/anything else. We the People have the power to save American democracy.

Every NVIDIA GPU should come with a lifetime subscription to Claude Code just to straighten out the inevitable driver issues that arise when dealing with their hardware.

Remember when things used to get better year after year? I do. Things used to work that way. www.axios.com/2026/05/05/d...

I am proposing the 10:1 rule for LLM generated code. For every token you used on the writing, you should expend 10 times as many on the review.

Am I holding it wrong, or are Rust compile times so long that they meaningfully slow down the development cycle?

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

A reminder that House Democrats passed a bill that would’ve banned gerrymandering but couldn’t find any Republicans in the Senate to support it. www.congress.gov/bill/117th-c...

Wrote up Anthropic's self-own about Claude Code pricing from this afternoon on my blog - it turned out they'd reversed course just as I hit publish, so I've tried to update it to reflect the current state https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/22/claude-code-confusion/

You just knew the @nytimes.com, the mouthpiece of the billionaire class, would lose their shit about a second home tax. The pearl clutching will continue until the heat death of the universe.

If they pull this off it will be amazing, I wish them the best of luck! variety.com/2026/tv/news...

FYI, no line at TSA pre at Terminal C LGA earlier today, I just breezed through.

NEW: House Oversight Committee wants to interview Epstein prison guard -- interview request comes after @miamiherald exclusively reported that she was overheard by inmate talking about covering up his killing. Here is a free link to our story: www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

A legal oversight organization that polices attorney misconduct filed formal accusations against DOJ attorney Ed Martin after he sent threatening letters to Georgetown University Law School last year. This filing initiates conduct proceedings that could result in sanctions or disbarment.
