The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

The Trump Admin has now approved a bank charter for World Liberty Financial, Trump's family-owned crypto scam.
The company, the deal, the entire process is corrupt to the core.
As I said in February to the Trump official in charge of this: it was only a matter of time.
His boss pardoned 100s, literally 100s, of people who assaulted over 140 police officers on January 6th, broke their bones, gave them strokes and heart attacks.
The level of gaslighting here is off the charts. Truly shameless people.
Lost my phone at the office and spent 30 minutes turning the place over. Find My was disabled by MDM.
Out of ideas, I asked Claude how I could find it. It suggested tracking the Bluetooth signal strength, then wrote me a meter in about a minute.
I walked around watching the number climb. Found it.
Apparently you can just make the tool you need now.

In case you know somebody at NVIDIA that would value early DwarfStar support for the DGX Station, please ping them saying I would be interested in receiving one and making the Station one of the main targets of the project. It fills the low power small-mid company target of DS.
"The Dem Establishment Kicked Me Out. Now They're Losing"
@davidhogg111, the former DNC vice chair, writes for Zeteo that the victories of El-Sayed and other progressives show Democrats didn't lose young voters – they just needed candidates to vote for.

📕 @FranceskAlbs new book — a NYT bestseller — is about what it actually costs to look at a war directly, in real time, while everyone else is scrolling past it.
Here’s the thing: We’re living inside the exact moment this book is describing, right now. The bodies keep getting counted. Doctors keep dying in Israeli custody. The UN keeps putting out statements that change what, exactly? Nothing on the ground. The news cycle moves on before the grief even has time to land.
Francesca wrote this because she wasn’t going to let that happen to the people in these pages. She gave them names. Memories. Mornings. Fear. Dignity. Things the news cycle doesn’t.
That’s what makes her so dangerous. She doesn’t ask you to have the right opinion. She asks you to sit with one person until you can’t continue looking away anymore. And then she asks what you’re actually going to do about it.
Read this book. Not to feel informed. To feel implicated. In the good way. The way that actually moves you into feeling, and into action.
I’m grateful to call her a friend. To learn from a mind that holds this many dimensions at once and still finds a way through with grace. The way she navigates this moment has become something I measure my own against.

In September 2024, the Gaza health ministry published a 649-page document confirming the identities of over 34,000 Palestinian victims.
The first 14 pages consisted entirely - entirely! - of babies listed as “age 0” (i.e. under one year old) - or 710 babies in total!
While the world watches the war, the Islamic Republic of Iran hanged a 19-year-old boy today.
His name is Erfan Esfandiari and he was his parents' only child.
He did not kill anyone. He did not carry a weapon. His crime, according to the Islamic Republic, was opening a door. Sheltering protesters who were running from security forces. That was enough to send him to the gallows.
Erfan was one of 12 young men in the Alikhani Square case in Isfahan, arrested during the January 2026 uprising. Yesterday, all 12 were moved to quarantine. Today, the Islamic Republic hanged him.
This is a government that is so terrified of a generation that refuses to be silent, that it executes teenagers for the act of compassion.
Say his name. Because the regime is already trying to erase him. Because his mother and father are left with nothing, not even the right to grieve loudly.
