Awesome hair dudes stick together!
🎙️ Just published a new episode of Mostly Technical: 97: Young Forever. Have a listen:
BREAKING: Judge Breyer rules that President Trump's deployment of the military to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, says Trump is using military as a "national police force with the president as its chief." Injunction granted. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
This is really cool. OG images are the worst and this makes them trivial bsky.app/profile/pete...
Okay, so I'm pretty sure I've found the best way in the world to create dynamic Open Graph images! And I've turned it into a little product that I'd love to show you 🤩 Check out this quick video tour of Ogkit.dev to see how it works 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoVr...
Great lead headline right now, @nytimes.com.

NYT reports TRUMP & MODI had a falling out because Modi wouldn’t back Trump’s lie that he brokered the India-Pakistan ceasefire — a lie 🇺🇸 media has let him get away with with even as India’s media has openly mocked him for it. Video: x.com/thetnholler/...
I appreciate you being over here 👍
If you’re going to Wire:Live I’m planning on a poker trip to Canada the Thursday after fyi
Looking around Buffalo on Google Maps trying to figure out which hotel to stay in for Wire:Live and I don't get why someone at some point thought every block should be 70% parking lots?
YES I YELLED AT THE SCREEN WHEN THIS HAPPENED
Leaving aside the typical histrionics, this seems to be Trump beginning to distance himself from Kennedy (who’s “ripping apart” CDC), and inviting mainstream physicians and scientists to defend the vaccines, so Trump can then say, I got them to explain it better and vaccines are OK.
HAPPY LABOR DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT IS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY WITH A SICK WARPED RADICAL MIND, KILLING SMALL BUSINESSES WITH CRAZY TARIFFS, TAKING HEALTH CARE FROM CHILDREN, PARDONING J6 THUGS, SENDING THE "PRIVATE ARMY" TO ARREST GRANDMA, WRECKING OUR BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT,
As far as I can find, only one major journalism organization -- the Guardian -- published an accurate and contextual headline describing Trump's illegal executive order on voting. What made the difference? The Guardian added the word "unconstitutional". Come on, journos, do your damn jobs.
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.

KPop Demon Hunters pretty solid
Builder.ai was a buzzy artificial intelligence company with a media-savvy chief executive, prestigious investors, a partnership with Microsoft and a supposedly vibrant business making apps for small businesses. Here’s how it went from a $1.5 billion unicorn to bankruptcy in just a few months.
University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index was 74.0 in December, now 58.2 in August. Conference Board’s consumer confidence index was 104.7, now 97.4. Government officials shouldn’t go on TV and blatantly lie like this.
Finally got around to watching Final Reckoning. So inferior to Dead Reckoning. Like it was made by totally different people.
😕🤷🏼
Nah I see it on here all the time.
It didn’t work ☹️
The full article has more context but it’s more like ppl getting mad at you bc you don’t agree w them about things X and then driving them away open.substack.com/pub/matthewy...

Trump is gonna regret coining the term "groceries."
In PLO getting killed. Send positive energy!
Chuck Schumer's just like the rest of us, posting for the authorities to do something about all this.
Sums up America in 2025 pretty well I’d say
I miss the old brand #CDC
Someone tell DOGE a way that the gov't could have been more efficient, by not building a stunt concentration camp...
Not a bad idea
Yes! Very annoying
Whether it's Barack Obama asking for dijon mustard or RFK Jr. asking for a vaccine ban that will kill hundreds of thousands of Americans, there have been unusual requests on both sides of the aisle.
If I were charged with a federal crime, I’d hire Pam Bondi’s brother as my lawyer. Because I don’t think this is a coincidence.
On the new acting CDC director. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
A key member of Trump 1.0 Covid team re: the CDC news: “I think this is quite a negative and potentially catastrophic step for the country,” said Adm. Brett Giroir. “I don’t know who’s in charge, honestly, and that’s frightening because the No. 1 thing you need is somebody in charge,” he added.
I probably shouldn't put it this way, but uh the "hide reply for everyone" button feels great to press. You decide what your posts are a platform for
Fertilizer prices are surging, eroding American farmers’ profits and adding pressure on the Trump administration to slash tariffs on key crop nutrients.
Jim O’Neill is a tech investor, former CEO of the Thiel Foundation, and co-founder with Peter Thiel of the Thiel fellowship. He has no direct medical education or experience. It’s hard to get away from the feeling that they really are trying to kill us.
It's still shocking how the modern conservative movement has disregarded constitutionalism entirely and has moved straight to what's effectively monarchism

Not sure when this happened but PHP now also in Codex cloud enviros

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
This is how it’s done.
I always got better code from Codex than Claude Code, but not having any local story is hard for certain kind of tasks. Big upgrade now with Codex being part of your existing plan, letting you offload a running local job to cloud codex without losing context and more openai.com/codex/

the obligatory second tweet after "monitoring and praying" to show you are very concerned. then maybe a third tweet before going back to talking about how some restaurant changed its logo or an M&M no longer wears sexy boots
“I am not able to serve in this role any longer because of the ongoing weaponization of public health,” wrote Demetre Daskalakis, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
Seems unlikely since vast majority can’t possibly be. Something is off w education tho! 🤣
This imagery is the kind of thing you see in video games to let you know you’re in a totalitarian city or country.

This week @ianlandsman.com and @aaronfrancis.com talk about Aaron's mysterious trip to Boise, Ian's investment in Tiny Seed, @calebporzio.bsky.social's Wire:live, and so much more.

Honestly, not the worst thing they could be doing with their time. But if this counts as a deployment, as I assume it does, this might be the most expensive trash collection scheme in human history.

National Weather Service meteorologist applicants are now being asked to pledge their support for Trump’s executive orders. (Image reposted with alt-text)
Hadn't been on TruthSocial for a while. Didn't realize it's a website wholly subsidized by scamming seniors with Ivermectin ads, which Trump fans apparently still think cures all known illnesses.
For the 2nd day in a row Trump attempts to condition the 🇺🇸 people that they’d “rather have a dictator” (while pretending he isn’t) Again: He’s saying it. Are you listening?
MAGA Maoism
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" was made in 1981, depicting a story from 1936. That's 45 year difference. Next year (2026) is the 45th anniversary of "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Good stuff from the only guy even trying (the bible is sold out alas 🤣) store.gavinnewsom.com
I spent a quarter century being lectured by libertarians and republicans about how minimal government oversight of large companies was radical socialism and if you mentioned nationalizing stuff like telecom for the public good they'd have a six week embolism
Because it's already better than most doctors tbh
I think doctors have more to fear from ChatGPT in some ways than programmers.
Trump: "A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator."

Postal operators in several countries have announced they will suspend certain deliveries to the United States, ahead of an end to a long-standing tariff exemption for packages worth $800 or less. https://wapo.st/465XKPS

Yes! "Hunger" is an evocative word and grips people instantly, because we've all known the feeling. "Food insecurity" sounds like a UN report about farming in along the Nile or something.
I loved the movie OPPENHEIMER about the race to build that world-changing negotiation.
A hallmark of MAGA isn't just lying, but an endless stream of obvious lies. It's not patently absurd to suggest a negotiated path to peace; plenty of conflicts ended that way. But WW2 ended with unconditional surrenders by Germany and Japan! This is a lazy lie for the sake of lying.
It's so grimly fascinating how easily manipulated he is. All you need it to get close to him for a short time and you can easily get him to back you publicly about what you just manipulated him about (even tho I agree all the steroid guys should be in) bsky.app/profile/atru...

Happy birthday!
When’s the last time you heard a Vice President talk about an investigation this way? You haven’t. Because the DOJ/FBI are supposed to be independent, and a VP using “we” to describe a particular investigation is not supposed to happen.
FOX (“EDITS THE TAPES”) NEWS MUST CANCEL THEIR WEEKEND STINKERS IMMEDIATELY!!! THEY ARE VERY DISHONEST AND ALL THEY DO IS TRASH ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR (AND MANY SAY THE MOST HANDSOME IN HISTORY, THANK YOU!). LARA TRUMP’S “SHOW” IS A TOTAL DISASTER. NO PERSONALITY, NO
