@Acyn @Miriam2626 "crackpots and fools"

Wow Scott Jennings blows up at Adam Mockler: “Get your fucking hand out of my face” Mockler: We all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with letters Ira that we are currently failing that is going to put us trillions and trillions of dollars more in debt. I was only a few years old while you were in the administration defending prior endless wars.

Renée Good was murdered by a federal agent. Reassigning Jonathan Ross is not accountability. If he’s in New York, he must be removed immediately.

@Math_files compute power is kinda crazy not a smartphone comparison apollo ran on something closer to a simple embedded controller like an arduino what mattered wasnt raw power but reliability and real time prioritization

One of the most astonishing facts about the Apollo 11 Moon Landing is how little computing power was available. The onboard computer had only about 72 kilobytes of memory. In comparison, a modern 64 GB smartphone has more than a million times that capacity. This is why a famous photo of Margaret Hamilton standing next to stacks of printed code has become so iconic. She and her team at NASA wrote the software for the mission by hand and helped establish the field now known as software engineering. Hamilton led the team that built the flight software, laying the foundation for future space missions. Her work proved critical during the landing. Just three minutes before touchdown, the computer triggered the “1202 alarm,” signaling an overload. The mission was close to being aborted, which could have allowed the Soviet Union to reach the Moon first. However, the system had been designed to prioritize essential tasks and ignore less important ones. Thanks to this, the landing was able to continue safely. Reflecting on the moment, Hamilton later said they had no choice but to find a solution, and they did. Remarkably, she was only 25 years old at the time.

Oh, look. He's naming another thing after himself. Trump-Kennedy Center, Trump Institute of Peace, Trump Ballroom, TrumpRx, Trump accounts, Trump Gold Card visas, Trump-class battleships, Trump banners on federal buildings, his face on our passports, Trump's signature on our money... NONE of this property should be in his name. It does not belong to him. It's all self-aggrandizing abuse of power.

This is proof that there is no logic or economic rationale for tariffs. Trump likes tariffs simply because they give him power to punish or reward at a whim. That is why tariffs are supposed to be controlled by Congress, to prevent this nonsense.

@MotherJones @BaddCompani tl;dr: argument piece but grounded in real rulings tracks a line from roberts-era decisions expanding executive power and weakening voting protections to todays imbalance causality debated but pattern is hard to ignore

Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

@arstechnica tl;dr: emails show openai asked musk for funding & he gave it this isnt simple “charity betrayal” case musk was cofounder, discussed structure early & left after control disputes core issue is governance & evolution not just donations one side legal framing not settled fact

Jerome Powell, the outgoing Fed chair, announced he would remain on the central bank’s board of governors for a period to be determined. The decision will likely delay President Trump’s ambitions to make sweeping changes to the central bank. wapo.st/48vaiRV

Trump: I settled 8 wars. And people try to dispute it but then they go over them, and almost in every case they sent letters thanking me and letters to the Nobel Committee. I don't care about that.

Politicians in power will try to convince you the economy is good when it is not. That’s what’s happening now.

bloody brilliant!
