Journalists: please, get ready for this in ADVANCE. We know Trump will claim "new evidence shows the 2020 election was stolen". You've got 3 days to write a story that confronts that lie head-on before he says it - pre-write this like an obit. America begs you: plan ahead. 1/
As if I needed another reason why I abandoned Nest after Google acquired it, these claims are disturbing if accurate. I can now expect Google arguing the homeowners should be getting consent for Google. Sigh. https://t.co/eOAytNlw14

"Riddle me this: when Obama ran intelligence, the election was secure and Donald Trump won in 2016.
When Biden ran the government and the intelligence, the election was secure and Trump ran in 2024.
But when Donald Trump and all of his boobs were running US national security, it got all effed up. Is that the theory?"
Here’s the thing. Oracle is exploding.
Larry Ellison bet the farm and everything in it on chatbots.
Specifically, the entire Ellison fortune is now tied to OpenAI which is completely fucked and can’t IPO.
The Ellisons are fascist greedmonsters.
I can’t wait to watch them burn.
Kentucky Republicans have tried to take away Governor Beshear’s ability to appoint Mitch McConnell’s replacement. Beshear says he’s considering ignoring the state legislature and appointing a Democrat to replace McConnell anyway.
He believes the law is unconstitutional, that Kentucky’s constitution gives him the authority, and that he’s prepared to test the GOP on it.
This is exactly how Democrats should be fighting.
.@lymanstoneky for @nytopinion: "No matter what you believe to be the cause of falling birthrates, that decline is unlikely to spontaneously reverse: There’s no marriage boom on the horizon; young people aren’t switching off their phones; housing isn’t about to become vastly more affordable; and the decline of religion may have paused, but no great religious revival is in sight. Drawing up budget plans on the assumption that we have essentially reached our lowest fertility point, despite other rich countries’ rates being even lower, is nonsensical"
the one conspiracy i believe is that this place is full of bots programmed to say insane, incendiary things and they're funded by foreign organizations who want to divide americans and destabilize US society
So military troops under the direct control of Trump and Hegseth will be on the streets of our nation’s capital for the rest of Trump’s term. The rationale—they’re here to help with a crime emergency—is laughable. But of course the real reason is ominous.

One night well after midnight in July 1990 I drove a Jeep off a cliff in the Montana woods, landed upside down in a creek, but miraculously survived. Around six in the morning I got home from the ER. My answering machine was blinking. Four messages from my mother in Minnesota, increasingly frantic, demanding that I call her -- the first call time stamped just minutes after the accident.
I called her. She picked up instantly. "Oh my god, you're okay," she said before I could speak. "I dreamed you were lying bleeding in a ditch and I couldn't get to you."
Amid all the corruption, this is especially gross: the billions Congress/Biden approved to build fiber internet in places left behind has been redirected to Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos for doing nothing. Musk has pocketed $738 million so far. Places like rural Louisiana were screwed.
Good reminder: "We cannot have a society in which, if two people wish to communicate, the only way that can happen is if it's financed by a third person who wishes to manipulate them" - Jaron Lanier

He's building a massive WH bunker, firing election officials, demanding voter rolls, and wants to create a permanent way to block access to the WH. If I was a conspiratorial sort, I'd be connecting some dots that don't end well for democracy.
It would neither sadden nor surprise me to see this completely nuke OpenAI and Sam Altman permanently. They’re not playing, and OpenAI is so heavily leveraged they can’t deal with this kind of threat and spin plates at the same time.
