I will never fail to be impressed by #StarTrek foresight. "When dreams become more important than reality, you give up travel, building, creating; you even forget how to repair the machines left behind by your ancestors.

Living in Ohio means the flowers that bloomed because it was 70 this weekend fell over in the tornado watch and were of course covered in the thunder snow storm when it was 19 degrees the next day…

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda. 1. Vote no on DHS funding bill. 2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE. 3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents. 4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

This is actually insane. There has been a coup slowly progressing in this country since January 6th

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

It’s another horrible day to live in America. I can’t stand watching what this country has become. And people willingly defend executions on our streets. This is who they murdered, claiming he “had a gun”. Even if he did, that’s not illegal. We cannot keep this up. #AbolishICE #DefundDHS

There are 5” of snow on the ground from yesterday. -15 degree (F) windchills today. And we have a chance of storms on Thursday at 50 degrees. Just Ohio things

It’s an absolutely exhausting time to be an American with empathy. Submitted and FCC complaint and I would encourage others to join me. It should go without saying that “killing the homeless is not a viable solution to homelessness” but here we are.

In a shocking on-air moment, a “Fox and Friends” co-host said homeless people suffering from mental health issues who refuse help should be killed

Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"

There’s “jumping the shark” and then there’s admitting your business model only works with more energy than the planet can possibly create. 🤣

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

Today I woke up and made myself a bagel. My wife texts me and goes “did you eat the expired cream cheese?!” I was like “no, I’m not stupid, it said May 26” Y’all, it was “may 26, 2025”… I think I am going to become a superhero…

My new Fermi Paradox theory: as soon as advanced cultures create their version of the internet and AI, they collapse under the weight of a populous who will believe anything BUT the truth. Yesterday I saw someone convinced the sun is a simulation because her phone glitched when zooming…

Into the sun…. Ma’am, you’re treating your phone electronics like a mean kid with a magnifying glass treats an anthill and you are surprised you can’t good a picture?! Society can’t exist without a shared basis in reality and it is slipping further and further away

I asked ChatGPT what will I be? Will I be pretty? Will I be rich? Here's what it said to me: Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera STICK YOUR HAND IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL

Just a normal day in good ole USA with a #PedoPOTUS I guess. And congress went on recess right before this announcement so he is going to lash out and nobody is going to do anything right now.

Feb: AG Bondi says she's "reviewing" the Epstein files May: Trump finds out he's in them July: DOJ says the files won't be released 🧐 Just a coincidence? Or something more? #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

Yesterday I used GitHUb Copilot to write a quick script for me. It took only seconds and looked great…. Except the API it used didn’t exist and none of it worked. AI is competent enough to trick those who don’t know what they’re looking at but constantly makes things up.

Vendor: it will take us 28 hours to do that work. Me: drives across the country and does it in 9. I almost beat their estimate including the 13 hour drive 🤣 And it’s way better quality work.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

We are told this is progress. We are told that this is the future. That it is INEVITABLE. It is wasteful, uncreative, and regularly makes up absolute lies as answers to questions.

People are already forgetting basic skills, instead looking up every single thing. College professors report students blindly pasting responses from these lying engines as answers to assignments. We are ceding thought to systems controlled by billionaires.

I am struggling lately as I watch talent bleed and be replaced with poor facsimiles of intelligence. Generative AI is a prediction model. It uses all of our creativity and problem solving, distills them down to sub-word tokens, and regurgitates a watered down version of us back at ourselves.

This is going to be so miserable. Soon: “hey *ai model*, how can I setup a windows server for a fileshare?” “First, put in your PayPal info to buy a license from Microsoft” “I already have a license” “Volume licensing options - how many would you like?” ….

CNBC@cnbc.com

Perplexity is extending its bet on chat-powered shopping, aiming to stand out in the crowded generative artificial intelligence market against OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.

Today a teacher at my son’s school told a Hispanic student to “go back to Mexico and the cartels” if he did not like his rules. I’m coming for your license, racist.

So the law is dead. It’s time to prepare like this is war.

HAPPENING NOW: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was just taken into custody while protesting outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center

Imagine being deported wrongfully and forced into slave labor all for some white influencer boy to say how great your enslavement is….

one of the tasks of the American left is to explain to retail and service workers that this is the future that America has planned for them

the destruction of science in this country is breathtaking in scope someone close to me is looking at possibly needing to leave the country because basically their entire field is being shut down

Finished roughing in the new basement bathroom. This has been a big project for me. I had help with the plumbing and my brother helped me with framing and hanging the door.
