I like that building high speed rail in California requires nine thousand years of environmental impact studies but throwing up a data center the size of Texas takes fourteen seconds with zero material public support.

FISA 702 just passed the House.
This bill lets the government search Americans’ private communications without a warrant—in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment.
But don’t blame the GOP alone.
Forty-two Democrats betrayed the American people to help Mike Johnson pass it.

Thomas Massie was right.

So Congress, including Republicans, passed laws allowing your car to spy on you, which is hugely unpopular, but can’t pass voter ID, which is hugely popular.

Every new car in the U.S. will be required by law to have tech that puts constant surveillance on the driver by 2027. AI in your car will determine if you're sober and fit to drive, automatically turning off the vehicle if it determines you're a danger on the road.

In America the surveillance state is so vast even the pasta spies on you

🇱🇧 An Israeli Soldier Just Cooked a Meal in Someone Else's Home in Lebanon
An Israeli soldier posted photos of herself picking vegetables from a Lebanese family's garden and cooking in their kitchen, while the family is BANNED from returning.
The house still had food in the kitchen. The garden was still alive. Everything was exactly as the family left it, except the family.
Fifty-five villages in southern Lebanon remain closed to their residents. The people who planted those gardens and built those kitchens are not allowed back.
Someone else is eating their food.

🇱🇧🇮🇱 Israel Plans to Build 20 PERMANENT Military Bases in Southern Lebanon Israel's Channel 12 is reporting that the Israeli army intends to establish 20 military sites in southern Lebanon, with operations set to continue even under a ceasefire. This is not a ceasefire, this is an OCCUPATION.

I’ve wanted to do this for a decade.
But I never did - I refuse to give any company my DNA.
It is me.
So this week I sequenced my genome entirely at home. Literally on my kitchen table.
I never exposed my DNA sequence to the internet. Not at any point.
I used a MinION to do the sequencing (it’s smaller + weighs less than an iPhone).
I used open-source DNA models for the analysis (Evo2 and AlphaGenome) running locally on a DGX Spark and Mac Studio.
I traced mechanisms behind my family’s multigenerational autoimmune conditions that no clinician has been able to understand.
When I set out to do this I didn’t know if it would actually work. It does.
Your genome is the most private data you will ever have. You probably shouldn’t let it leave your house.

I'm lucky enough to have a great doctor and access to excellent Bay Area medical care. I've taken lots of standard screening tests over the years and have tried lots of "health tech" devices and tools. With all this said, by far the most useful preventative medical advice that I've ever received has come from unleashing coding agents on my genome, having them investigate my specific mutations, and having them recommend specific follow-on tests and treatments. Population averages are population averages, but we ourselves are not averages. For example, it turns out that I probably have a 30x(!) higher-than-average predisposition to melanoma. Fortunately, there are both specific supplements that help counteract the particular mutations I have, and of course I can significantly dial up my screening frequency. So, this is very useful to know. I don't know exactly how much the analysis cost, but probably less than $100. Sequencing my genome cost a few hundred dollars. (One often sees papers and articles claiming that models aren't very good at medical reasoning. These analyses are usually based on employing several-year-old models, which is a kind of ludicrous malpractice. It is true that you still have to carefully monitor the agents' reasoning, and they do on occasion jump to conclusions or skip steps, requiring some nudging and re-steering. But, overall, they are almost literally infinitely better for this kind of work than what one can otherwise obtain today.) There are still lots of questions about how this will diffuse and get adopted, but it seems very clear that medical practice is about to improve enormously. Exciting times!

One of the best things that could happen in the USA is for one of our dead broke states with underfunded pensions and bloated, incapable bureaucracy to go bankrupt. Like CA, or IL or NY. And for the federal government to sit back and let it happen. Only something dramatic, the collapse of a large state, could send the kind of shockwave that might shake up the system and force efficiency on all levels of government. Seeing the consequences could shake people out of complacency.
Consider that DeSantis has apparently cut the debt of Florida in half in 7 years. Good governance goes a long way. And a bankruptcy of a terribly run state would bring that into stark relief.

🚨 BREAKING: Your internet fiber cable is secretly listening to you right now.
Researchers from hong kong just dropped a paper at NDSS 2026 showing how they can spy on your conversations through the fiber optics in your walls.
They successfully turned ordinary Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) cables into hidden, long-range microphones.
No laser bugs. No physical implants. No drilling through walls.
Just the broadband cable that is already sitting in your living room or office.
By connecting a commercially available Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) system to one end of the fiber, they can measure microscopic vibrations caused by sound waves in the room.
Then, they use AI to reconstruct those vibrations into crystal-clear speech.
Through walls. From adjacent rooms. From up to 50 meters away.
It was tested on actually deployed infrastructure.
The attack cost is dropping. Commercial gear is all that is required if an attacker has access to the other end of the fiber connection.
Millions of homes and offices have FTTH installed. And every single one is potentially exposed.

Unpopular opinion: there shouldn’t be tax rates, there should be tax amounts.
If you split only federal spending evenly, it’s about $27,000 per adult per year, with roughly $3,700 of that just paying interest on past spending.
That’s the actual price tag.
The reason it’s hidden behind rates and brackets is simple: amounts create accountability. If every adult saw a bill for $27K, the question wouldn’t be “who should pay more,” it would be “why does this cost this much, and what am I actually getting for it?”
Right now the system blurs that. Costs are diffused, benefits are emphasized, and the bill is partially pushed into the future.
Amounts would force a different conversation.
Not about redistribution, but about value.
And that’s the part the current framing avoids.

It’s pretty fitting for America that one of the single biggest Supreme Court cases of the century which will help determine the fate of the United States is happening on April Fools Day.
