Every question from now on should be whether he supports child r*pe. Every. One.
Q: “Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?” TRUMP: “You’re a fresh person. A horrible little reporter.” Trump lashes out at another female reporter @albamonica as she asks about Trump’s support for Vivek’s disgusting attack ad weird Epstein’s bestie wouldn’t care about abuse😕

Musk would do this through those f*cking Trump Accounts they opened in every child's name without parental consent. I HATE these SO much. Parents cannot close the accounts. Parents cannot reject donations to the accounts. And we must hold on to donations for at least 5 years. I'm a state lawmaker.

Democrats and white liberals constantly treat Southern Black voters fighting and overcoming voter suppression as some sort of Aaron Sorkin-esque inspiration porn
This is not beautiful to see. This is the most racist democracy on planet earth, and people just expect Black people to sing negro spirituals and "overcome." It's not working. This still happens for one reason and one reason only: white US folk don't hold each other accountable for this racism.

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!
I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

So the next time someone who is not an expert in the field concerned loses their mind over some supposedly revolutionary finding…bear this in mind. Whether this has to do with AI or not, it’s just a good rule of thumb. Don’t be someone else’s hype man if you don’t understand what you’re hyping.

It's a bit harder to find good scans of British computer magazines from the 80s and 90s, which is a shame because, well, just look for yourself: buttondown.com/suchbadtecha... #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing

You know this is my third or fourth go around with this kind of technological innovation for consumers and citizens. And a lot of it is the same. Same pattern of exaggerated benefits, underestimated challenges. What’s new this time is the sector isn’t even pretending to care about the consumer.

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

I think what's driving the poor AI marketing is two fold both caused by the culture that has developed in SV 1. The tech industry is dry on hyper growth idea after years of building investor expectations of hyper growth. So they are desperate. 2. Tech investors and leaders are weird af.
