I know some of you might read this and say "these people can't be stupid! These people run companies! They make huge deals! They read all these books!" and my answer is that some of the stupidest people I've ever met have read more books than you or I will read in a lifetime. While they might be smart when it comes to corporate chess moves or saying "this product category should do this," none of these men - not Altman, Pichai or Nadella - actually has a hand in the design or creation of any of the things their companies make, and they never, ever have. Regardless, I have a larger point: it's time to start mocking these people and tearing down their legends as geniuses of industry. They are not better than us, nor are they responsible for anything that their companies build other than the share price (which is a meaningless figure) and the accumulation of power and resources. These men are neither smart nor intellectually superior, and it's time to start treating them as such.

I also recommend if possible to find whatever humor you can. Make fun of these people. Lampooning them doesn’t discount the seriousness of their actions or the destruction of their works - it undermines their power and status and names, and lightens the soul

Interesting how there’s no disclosure in this piece highlighting Polymarket that the WSJ has a partnership with Polymarket

Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

They’re still lying to us.

Nancy Youssef, ..guil @ X.com @nancyayoussef The preliminary Pentagon cost estimate of the war in Iran is $1 billion a day, a congressional official told me. 12:20 PM • 3/4/26 • 44K Views

Preliminary Pentagon cost estimate of the war in Iran is $1 BILLION a day. So far.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone]

Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

If this isn’t one of the biggest stories of the day, then it should be.

Americans are stranded in the Middle East because of Donald Trump’s war in Iran, but they’re flying out MAGA “influencers” on private jets?

A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator YouTube video by Forbrukerrådet - Norwegian Consumer Council

"Make people dependent enough, and then make it shitty"

Still giggling at this hilarious video from the Norwegian Consumer Council "A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator" which seems a perfect embodiment of Silicon Valley and tech generally these days

A good deal of the argument that AI can produce publishable research is based on the fact that bad research already gets published. Hallucinations don’t matter, they say, because academics sometimes cite things they haven’t read. Guys, you aren’t making the argument you think you are.

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

Hillary Clinton: The Trump administration gutted the Trafficking in Persons office at the State Department. The annual trafficking report was delayed for months. Combatting human trafficking is no longer a priority under the White House

Pete Hegseth really is an astounding idiot who truly does seem to believe that the way to win wars is just to war crime harder than the other guy.

Just an endless 'taking the gloves off' until your hands are reduced to bloody stumps because it turns out taking the gloves off usually doesn't help.

Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack US forces first, two people familiar with the matter said reut.rs/46ybyTg

I saw this and at first thought "no, there's no way 'we definitely had alternative leadership in mind for Iran but I blew them up alongside the schoolgirls using AI' is what the White House is actually saying, that's too clueless and evil to be real"

Only with AI giving it an unlimited list of "regime insiders" would a leadership be able to convince itself that it could tear out a state's power structure solely from the air

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

Being a Luddite Is Cool and All, but Have You Seen the Hilarious Tapestries These New Looms Are Making? Don’t get me wrong, I’m as invested in keeping my job as the next weaver. When the boss brought in that big new power loom, I was pretty skeptical....

"I’m pretty sure technological progress is a law of nature, like gravity or death. The power loom, as we know, is inevitable, preordained by God, who works His miracles through the hands of rich and wise inventors. It’s foolish to resist it."

No to both Claude and Hegseth. We don’t need to support either manufacturer of slop.

We need new radical organizations dedicated to helping people detach from and avoid AI. Tech-heads telling you online “it’s easy just Linux to migrate your Ghost,” or whatever, doesn’t cut it. We need anti-big tech volunteers in every town. This would be critical work in the fight against fascism.
