@SnazzyLabs You know in your heart they’re going to call it the Liquid Glass display. They won’t be able to help themselves.

And then they’re also going to call the screen on the 20th anniversary all-glass iPhone a Liquid Glass display even though it doesn’t fold, ruining any meaning it had

You REDUCE crime by eliminating POVERTY. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.

If you're going to send me LLM generated text, please just send me the prompt you used to generate it instead.

This isn't even a joke, I would genuinely be happy to read the three bullet points you turned into that whole email

@usgraphics More respect for you because you use the same mouse as I do, the best mouse ever made (minus the software)

This is how I’m moving through crowds because people are actually stupid asf now and have no spatial awareness and walk entirely too slow all of the time

Trump is so fucking dumb that when he heard that semiconductors use "transistors," he thought they said "transgenders."

That's how fucking stupid our President is.

Fun Fact: The President of the goddam United States paid nearly $6 million in damages today to a woman he raped. Once upon a time, this would have been the only news you heard.

They shot him, dragged his lifeless body onto the pavement, and handcuffed his corpse while his 3-year old daughter wearing Bluey pajamas watched in horror. If you say you voted for this you are an empty soulless vessel.

Starting in early 2025, Elon Musk and the Trump administration began terminating USAID's programs and firing its staff — with Musk himself boasting about "feeding it into the woodchipper." One year ago today, USAID was officially dissolved, its remaining programs haphazardly folded into the State Department. Amid all the lies and misinformation that have followed, some facts about what has actually been lost:

• USAID saved more than 3 million lives a year at a cost of less than $10/month per American. That is what was destroyed. On purpose.
• According to Boston University's Global Impact Counter — which tracked deaths attributable to the cuts until it stopped operations in February 2026 — an estimated 781,000 people died preventable deaths in the first year, including 518,000 children.
• Global child mortality (the number of children who die before their fifth birthday) rose in 2025 for the first time in 35+ years — by 200,000 additional deaths.
• USAID's 50-country disease surveillance network — the system that cut outbreak response times from 2 weeks to 48 hours — is gone. We are now watching an unprecedented Ebola outbreak unfold in real time — with the highest first-month caseload and death rate in modern history.
• Programs reaching 93 million women and children were cut 92%. TB programs cut 56%. Water and sanitation cut 86%. Over 2,000 health facilities permanently closed.
• 25 million fewer people received humanitarian assistance in 2025. The overall humanitarian budget was slashed 74% — from $14.1 billion to $3.7 billion.
• 363 million people face acute hunger in 2026. The famine early-warning system that would have seen it coming went dark for five months.
• $1.7 billion in democracy and governance funding (election monitoring, anti-corruption work, support for independent media and civil society) was terminated.
• 360+ independent media outlets lost funding. Hundreds of legal clinics closed.
• Far from saving money, the Trump administration itself has already said the dismantlement will cost taxpayers at least $19.2 billion in cancellation fees, severance, and penalties. That's more than half of USAID's annual budget — spent on destruction and closeout, not support for vulnerable people.
• American farmers, universities, and businesses are among the casualties too. USAID partnered with more than 3,500 U.S. companies and maintained 17 university-based research labs. Its work with U.S.-based contractors and the private sector generated hundreds of thousands of American jobs and multiplied the return on every dollar spent. Those markets and partnerships are gone.

@DylanMcD8 After 2024’s keynote I think they are very cognizant of not overpromising. Agree that it’s working well already though!

[Martha Bueno @BuenoForMiami]

I used to think the average person had common sense.

Then I started seeing people argue that kids can’t consent to “gender-affirming care” because they’re too young to make permanent decisions about their bodies. And I thought, “Cool, so you’re against circumcision too, right?”

That’s when I discovered that applying the same principle in a different context is apparently an impossible task for a shocking number of people.

So let me get this straight: if a kid wants something done to their body, they’re too young to consent. But if you want something done to their body, suddenly consent isn’t important?

Sooo… you can chop up your kid how you want, but not how they want?

How about we stop chopping up kids altogether?

It’s a pretty simple rule: don’t permanently alter a child’s genitals unless there’s a genuine medical necessity. The fact that you like a particular form of mutilation doesn’t magically make it not mutilation.

One thing I do think Marx genuinely underestimated was just how fake the economy could get without fully collapsing

[they/them might be giants ☭ @babadookspinoza]

People only hate Elon Musk because he comes from an emerald mining fortune made in apartheid South Africa, he buys ideas and pretends he’s an inventor, he’s a white supremacist, union-busting, abusive employer, he’s hoarding $1T in stolen wages, he makes us ashamed to be human,

@thsottiaux Okay, but the name Codex better not be going away, either!

[Amelia @amelia_tweetz]

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.
