@MJ_Koch ya..

More shocking than this car explosion is how people reacted to it: They didn't run for their lives, but stopped to record the fiery smoke as it mushroomed toward them. This is an increasingly common instinct anytime something potentially viral happens these days. As they say: Do it for the ’gram.

@Noahpinion pretty words but not true a smart man with an ai vs a dumb man with an ai choose your fighter

"God made men differ in intelligence, but Sam Altman made them equal" is a line I'm going to be using a lot

@mattmarlinski congrats matt!!

my masterpiece. my mission to build the best studio in NYC. I couldn't be more proud. our new hq! everything in here was hand made, sculpted, stained, and painted by an amazing team of talented artists. Every piece of gear, cabling, was sourced and built by me.. Couldn't have done this without the help of Sound Shed Studios. The best in the game.

the pirate wires daily in the @californiapost:

there have been more dangerous times. there have been bleaker times, times of less hope and times of far more sorrow. there have been poorer times, and darker times. but there has never been a time in history more retarded than today.

The "evilness" of billionaires is vastly, blisteringly overstated. They are some of the best citizens you could have. Hating them is mostly the pastime of stupid people who have no sense of proportion, either of prosperity or of what constitutes actual evil

walking into the function and the protestor calls you a billionaire

“tax the rich” protestors had it wrong, it’s my boss who’s the billionaire

important work! join us:

@realpragun @PirateWires hey, looks fine on my end, are you on desktop or mobile?

@PirateWires the philosophy of tech fellowship link is broken, can't submit.

We let the 20-year-old WASP intern steal the Twitter account and it’s not going well

@dodgeblake personally think the pw art dept deserves more love

this is the pw art department's depiction of the goblin that jakub pachocki did not ask chatgpt for, but nonetheless got. you are welcome. personally i think it looks like he's demanding cheese. won't be satisfied without a little morsel of cheese. or possibly swedish fish

Redemption is always possible

@PirateWires “what would it mean to pirate a car?”

yesterday I wrote about america's long slide from violent rhetoric, to the celebration of violence, to what has fully become an assassination culture. today, in a glamorous NYT interview, hasan piker justified the assassination of unitedhealthcare CEO brian thompson.

A detailed recap of all the times you all didn't listen to @micsolana's warnings about assassination culture: Solana in 2020, when his mentions were flooded with guillotine GIFs every time a large left-leaning account quote-tweeted him: hmmm I think we might be normalizing violent rhetoric while the internet is shaping our physical world. Solana in 2023 when a viral piece called for "euthanizing" venture capitalists: hmmm yep. Solana later in 2023 when the submersible imploded and "laughs and cheers erupted across the social internet": oh wow, I was actually right, but also maybe it's because the disaster was so impersonal. Solana a few months later (10/2023): nope, we are actually in the midst of a moral inversion, "in which evil is framed the good, good is framed the evil, and the public is expected to parrot all the clown world blasphemies in unison as if some twisted Nicene Creed.” Then, there were two attempts on the president's life. Then, in December 2024, Luigi Mangione tried to assassinate UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. And Solana goes: hey, the "violence is never okay, BUT" coalition? Luigi dragging us into hell won't bring the chaos of normalized violence only to the people you think are bad; "it will largely fall on the very communist baristas presently excited at the thought." Then, in September 2025 writing for The Atlantic, this heroic man tries *again* to put forward a thesis on left-wing violence, specifically that “Abundance Democrats" were doomed to fail given their base "did not want a bullet train. They did seem to want pretty much every guy capable of building bullet trains to die." Then, EVERYONE GOT MAD AT HIM. You guys have no idea. EVERYONE. VERY MAD. Then, two days later, Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Cue the grisly celebrations! And Solana goes: We might be able to escape this memetic death loop if the center left is willing to assert a "very strong taboo against violence." Then, earlier this month, there were two attempts on Sam Altman's life, and multiple prominent outlets shared pictures of his home (one shared its location!), "with the final wisps of the discourse centered on the rhetoric of Eliezer ‘bomb the data centers’ Yudkowsky." (Do I have even have to say people celebrated?) ...and Solana, politely, goes: "might constantly claiming a small handful of people are going to literally kill every person on the planet, at any moment now, increase the risk of violence targeting that small handful of people?" Now, he is no longer trying to change assassination culture. He just wants you people to acknowledge it exists. Someone please give this man his fucking flowers.

@ElliotKaufman6 😂

My wife: . . . you're still going to do the dishes tonight, right?
