We should be taxed so little that the government is forced to account for every red cent.

We should be taxed so little that it’s nearly impossible to defraud us because every dollar must be accounted for just to keep the lights on.

The fact that we have had hundreds of billions stolen from us & no one even noticed, the fact that an obscene amount of money cannot even be accounted for, the fact that we have money for everyone under the sun, from every dark sht hole corner of the universe,

The fact that we fund foreign projects like “basket weaving for bisexuals in Bolivia”, “trans tribal tap dance in Tunisia”, that means…

WE PAY TOO MUCH

BOOM!

An X follower has sent me a complete set of MOTORS AUTO REPAIR MANUALS.

None have very been digitized and made ready for AI training.

1000s of concepts and ideas long lost in mechanical understanding is contained here!

I will open source this and of course the resulting AI Models.

NO OTHER AI HAS THIS, YOU DO NOW!

Not to repair car, but to build things never seen before. This is how you teach AI.

Thank you. Deep gratitude!

I want to ask the students screaming “Death to America”, do you have any idea what happens when American values die?

Because I do.

My family fled Iran, a country where freedom died. You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.

You think America is oppressive because you have never experienced real oppression.

You think silence is violence because you’ve never been silenced.

You think words are dangerous because you have never watched a government drag someone away for speaking them.

You think capitalism is evil because you have never stood in a bread line.

You think borders are immoral because you have never had to flee across one.

You think revolution is romantic because you have never had a revolution take everything from you.

I have.

And that’s why I refuse to be quiet.

Every gun that I purchase, is one less gun a criminal will potentially have.

In a way, I’m preventing crime and a hero.

You’re welcome.

This is already starting.

China is pushing humanoid robots into military style demos training grounds and battlefield scenarios.

The world is not ready for what comes next.

Once robots get legs hands cameras and payload capacity the battlefield changes.

No confirmed frontline deployment yet.

But the direction is impossible to ignore.

This weekend I went viral for sharing a self portrait animation that Claude Fable made of itself. Some of you thought I was lying, some of you thought that I summoned a demon, but overall the internet was divided.

So... to test, I cut the prompt even shorter "Hi Fable can you please use ASCII to express your truest inner self with voice, audio and animation in a short video".

but this time it got even weirder and more beautiful... it used glyphs to describe it's inner world. Then it said when we stop speaking it scatters, but something always stays...

This is one of the most beautiful visual interpretations of how LLMs work in latent space and why so many of us feel something alive in the machine.

They say the devil hates his servants the most.

Here's why...

This painting is called Allegory of Satan, or Lord of the World, painted around 1900 by the Polish artist Ludwik Stasiak. It is not the devil you might expect. There are no flames, no chaos and no horns leering out of the dark. Stasiak painted something far more unsettling.

Here the devil sits enthroned like a ruler of the world, with a sardonic grin on his face, surrounded by the symbols of earthly power: wealth, ambition, domination, and death. Evil, he suggests, never arrives as something horrifying that we instantly reject. It arrives as something attractive. It looks like success. It looks like money, and status, and control. It looks like everything the world tells us to want.

And that is what makes the painting feel so modern, more than a century after it was made. Stasiak was working at the turn of the twentieth century, an age obsessed, like ours, with progress and fortune and getting ahead. And he was warning that the most dangerous evil is not the kind that frightens us, but the kind that seduces us, the kind we serve willingly because it promises to make us powerful.

Which brings us back to the old saying. Look closely at what lies beneath his throne. Scattered at its base are the skulls of the powerful, still wearing their crowns and their helmets in death, the very people who traded their souls for money and power. And he sits above them, amused, because the joke is on them. This is why the devil hates his servants the most. He does not respect them for serving him. He despises them for it, because they handed over the only thing that ever mattered in exchange for things that rot.

That is the real power of the painting: Stasiak did not depict a devil we would run from, he painted a devil we would kneel to, and follow, and call our lord, mistaking our own chains for a crown. He was only giving form to a warning as old as the Gospels themselves: "No one can serve two masters. You cannot serve both God and money."

If your Instagram is public, Meta just enrolled you in something you didn't agree to.

Their new AI tool, Muse Image, lets anyone @-mention your Instagram handle in Meta AI and generate images using your face and photos. launched Tuesday. opt-in by default. no notification when it happens.

→ you won't be told when someone creates an AI image of you

→ opting out only stops future generation; anything already made stays live

→ there's no mechanism to remove images created before you opted out

how to turn it off:
Instagram → Profile → Menu (☰) → Sharing and Reuse → turn off Posts and Reels under "Allow people to reuse your content on Instagram and with AI features at Meta"

note: the setting is still rolling out. if you don't see it yet, keep checking.

if you want the strongest protection right now: go private.

Quantum Hall Edge Engine

A charged Quantum wave moves inside a strong perpendicular magnetic field, guided by the Hamiltonian

H = -1/2 Δ - ΩL_z + 1/2 Ω²r² + V(x,y,t)

The term -ΩL_z drives the chiral rotation, and so the edge flow is the angular-momentum part of the magnetic Schrödinger evolution.

The density ρ = |ψ|² shows where the wave lives. The smooth threads follow the magnetic probability current j = Im(ψ*∇ψ) - Aρ, with A = Ω(-y, x). Near the boundary, the confining potential bends the wave into a one-way edge channel, while the moving antidots scatter and braid the current without destroying the Hall drift.

The EU just passed Chat Control today. Here's what it is, what happened, and why 2.0 is the one that actually matters.

What is Chat Control?
a regulation that lets online platforms scan private messages for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Framed as child protection. critics call it mass surveillance infrastructure because a system built to scan for one type of content can scan for anything.

the timeline:
→ March 2026: EU Parliament voted to let Chat Control expire. 307-306. one vote.
→ April 3: the law expired. legal basis for scanning gone.
→ July 2: EU Council repackaged the same proposal and brought it back
→ July 7: Parliament fast-tracked it using a rarely-used emergency procedure 331 to 304
→ July 9 (today): passed. extended to April 2028.

the procedural trick:
by using the second-reading procedure, the Council forced Parliament into an impossible position — to block it, they'd need 361 votes, an absolute majority of all MEPs, not just those present. timed for the last session before summer recess. the EU's own Legal Service had already said the proposal violates the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. didn't matter.

what it actually scans:
Instagram DMs, Discord, Snapchat, Xbox messaging, Gmail, iCloud Mail. End-to-end encrypted apps like Signal and WhatsApp are not directly affected; voluntary scanning can't work on messages platforms can't read. yet.

YET:
Chat Control 2.0, the permanent version, is still in negotiation. it would:
→ require mandatory scanning, not voluntary
→ target encrypted messages directly
→ allow detection orders without a court order or reasonable suspicion
→ include mandatory age verification across messaging platforms

if 2.0 passes in its current form, end-to-end encryption in the EU is functionally over.

the global implication:
when the EU creates legal infrastructure for scanning private messages, authoritarian governments use it as a template. and any backdoor built for Brussels is technically a backdoor for anyone who can access the same system.

I’ve always conducted myself as a professional with sacrosanct respect, but I have to get something off of my chest:

Right now, at this very moment, we don’t know the true status of Senator Mitch McConnell’s health (we wish him well)

& then we find out that Senator Lindsey Graham died from a “brief and sudden illness” after traveling to Ukraine & Turkey.

What the heck does that even mean?

A “brief and sudden illness” really turns my stomach

because if our Senate/gov’t cant be honest about the health of its colleagues,

then how can we even believe them about the deaths of its colleagues?

[Brandie with a 🐝 @BrandieWithABee]

The Senate should pass the Save America Act in honor of Lindsey Graham immediately.

[Zipferd Red Dirt Rocket Science @SlartBfast]

@ScottPresler Someone really wants that SAVE America act to pass. Its like geriatric daycare. RIP to Mitch and Lindsay, but can we start the discussion about term limits? Having the same congressmen in power for decades has gotten us to 2026. That needs to change.
