ICE terror squads in plain clothes arresting and separating families who have already gone through security in SFO airport. Expect this at voting stations in November. Not having a tourism or airline industry during another disastrous war will definitely improve the economy. Are we free yet?

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

“Aren’t you embarrassed?” Yes. Yes, we are.

I'm not sure if the average American understands how ridiculous they seem to the rest of the world.

I know there is some overlap between open source and anti-AI activists, but I have a hard time reconciling it. My million+ open source LOC were always intended as a gift to the world. Yes, I would make arguments about how it would strengthen our communities, and the GPL would prevent outright exploitation by our competitors, but those were to allay fears of my partners to allow me to make the gift. AI training on the code magnifies the value of the gift. I am enthusiastic about it! Some people do look at open source as a tool for social change, career advancement, or reputation building, but those are all downstream of the gift.

Ted Cruz was booed off stage by Christians His response: “If you will not stand with Israel, then I will not stand with you.” A US senator just publicly pledged allegiance to a foreign country over his own constituents. Clear and loud x.com/allenanalysis/…

Apple spent a decade gluing batteries into $2,499 MacBook Pros. Then it shipped a $599 laptop you can take apart in six minutes. The MacBook Neo teardown numbers are wild. Eight screws to open. Eighteen screws hold the battery, zero glue, zero tape. The USB-C ports, speakers, and headphone jack are all modular, meaning each one swaps individually. The speakers come out with four screws. An Australian repair channel disassembled most of the machine in under six minutes using standard Torx bits you can buy at any hardware store. For context, the 2019 MacBook Pro scored 2 out of 10 on iFixit’s repairability scale. The 16-inch Pro got a 1 out of 10. Soldered RAM, soldered storage, glued battery, proprietary pentalobe screws, keyboard riveted to the top case. Apple’s own Self Service Repair program required you to rent a 79-pound repair kit shipped in two Pelican cases just to swap a battery. The timing explains everything. The EU Right to Repair Directive takes effect July 31, 2026. Member states are transposing it into national law right now. Manufacturers must offer repair beyond warranty, provide spare parts within 5 to 10 working days for seven years, and publish repair manuals. In the US, over a quarter of Americans already live in states with enforceable Right to Repair laws. Oregon banned parts pairing. California’s act is in effect. Apple read the regulatory calendar and realized the cheapest laptop in the lineup would face the most scrutiny. Millions of students and first-time buyers will own it. The volume will be enormous. And regulators love consumer-protection cases involving the most affordable products in a company’s portfolio. So they built the Neo as the compliance flagship. Standard screws, modular ports, no adhesive, a battery that lifts out. Meanwhile the $1,099 MacBook Air still has soldered storage and a riveted keyboard. The $2,499 Pro still scores poorly on independent repairability scales. The $599 laptop is the most repairable MacBook in over a decade. Apple always knew how to build a repairable laptop. They just needed a reason that showed up on a regulatory deadline.

I worked for USAID when It was closed, these guys literally were firing senior Foreign Service Officers with 30 years of experience on the spot. These kids were drunk on power and a reckoning is coming. I will always be hot about this shit. I know for a fact we allowed children to die because of these snotty shits.

ICE showed up in Vermont and they’re just as aggressive as they were in Minneapolis. They’re ramming into vehicles & trying to blame it on legal observers like before! They’re also snatching up protesters and throwing them to the ground.This has to stop now!

OMG, SHUT DOWN DOGE: A DOGE official in his 20s testified today that he canceled federal research grants based on personal judgment. No peer review. No subject matter expertise. No formal process. Just him. And books he had read. He flagged a grant studying HIV in prisons during the Reagan and Clinton era — decades of academic research — as “one of the craziest” because it mentioned LGBTQ in the description. He flagged a grant examining the military service experiences of Black, Native American, female, and immigrant veterans as crazy. His qualification for making these calls: “A person can have enough judgment from reading books.” He was then asked if he regretted cutting programs that may have led to people dying. “No.” Did DOGE reduce the deficit? “No.” A person in their 20s. Reading books. Canceling peer-reviewed academic research. Deciding what knowledge the American government is allowed to fund. No experience. No regret. No results. Under oath.

Hey @NintendoAmerica is this an official collaboration? This has ruined my perception of the Nintendo brand and will never be purchasing Nintendo products.

@peer_rich @justalexoki Maybe old people are right, things were better back in the good old days

We’re beginning to see the rule playing out: good administrations leak on purpose, and bad administrations just leak. And the Trump administration is just leaking like a damn sieve.

BREAKING: Moments ago at the White House this took place. A bunch of old people praying for a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, who appears to have just blown up 100+ Iranian schoolchildren, while he hides the Epstein files, in which he appears in thousands of times. We are a joke.

🚨 HOLY HELLLLLLL: Iran just took out a $1.1 billion radar at the most fortified US base in the Middle East with a single missile. THIS IS BAD!!! That radar was the backbone of ALL US missile defense in the Gulf. Every Patriot. Every THAAD. Now operating blind. Qatar intercepted 101 missiles during this conflict. Two got through. One hit the only target that mattered. This is asymmetric warfare in one sentence: Iran has to succeed once. We have to be perfect every time. We weren’t. The US just promised Navy escorts will protect Gulf shipping lanes. But if we couldn’t protect a $1.1 billion radar inside our own base — What are those escorts actually guaranteeing? The petrodollar runs through a Strait we can no longer credibly protect. One missile just changed everything.

First day, within the first hour, 156 schoolgirls between 7 and 12 years old were killed. Second day, hospitals across Iran were bombed. Today, rescue workers and volunteers trying to recover bodies are being killed. What is next? What have we done? What is left of our morals?

You stupid, lying shit. The third paragraph of the statute states, in plain terms: @title50/chapter33&edition=prelim" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?pat…

The dude is gonna get Americans killed just to distract from the fact that he fucked little girls.

BREAKING: In an extraordinary and illegal move, Trump says he’s transferring $10 billion from the U.S. government to his “Board of Peace,” which he chairs and can use the funds as he wishes. Where is Congress???
