I am a technology enthusiast, writer, and modder. Founder of @ModRetro, @Oculus VR, and @Anduriltech. Keeping American superheroes safe with autonomous systems.
- This new "Nobody elected Elon Musk!" angle from leading Democrats is so bad. One of the key pillars of Trump's campaign was the creation of a Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon. This is exactly what people voted for, not some kind of surprise twist!
- Everyone angry about the age of DOGE workers is going to be very surprised when they find out how old the Founding Fathers were.
- DeepSeek is legitimately impressive, but the level of hysteria is an indictment of so many. The $5M number is bogus. It is pushed by a Chinese hedge fund to slow investment in American AI startups, service their own shorts against American titans like Nvidia, and hide sanction
- YouTube has deleted every comment I ever made about the Wumao (五毛), an internet propaganda division of the Chinese Communist Party. Who at Google decided to censor American comments on American videos hosted in America by an American platform that is already banned in China?
- California (more specifically, the state legislature and Gavin Newsom) just banned Glocks, the most common firearms in the country by far, for being "unsafe", claiming they are too easy to convert into machine guns. The government claims Glock could have updated their designs to
- Replying to @PalmerLuckeyWorth noting that our Founding Fathers themselves published anonymous satirical newspapers lampooning English politicians, and the Crown responded by trying to kill them. Some issues are fairly argued as beyond the intent/understanding of the Founders, this ain't one of them.
- As far as I know, there has never been a real postmortem on the whole "$99 computers will pull the Third World out of poverty" bit that pretty much everyone in tech treated as serious for at least a decade. It moved from WIRED covers, TED talks, and UN proclamations to silence.
- The fastest way to lower average housing prices in American cities is enforcing the law/reducing criminal activity. Huge chunks of high-density housing are trapped in Bad Neighborhoods, no-go zones depressed well below nearby prices. Nobody with options even considers them.
- The people in this picture are the ones funding Russia's invasion. They collectively sent billions of dollars more to Russia than to Ukraine last year. Half the people pictured literally laughed aloud at Trump when he spoke at the UN in 2018 about EU reliance on Russian gas.At the table in London, we are all determined to take action for a strong and lasting peace in Ukraine and to ensure our collective security.
- Every American man is required by law to register for the draft. Failure to do so is a crime punishable by $250,000, 5 years in prison, and lifetime ineligibility for government benefits. Counselling any man to not register has the same punishment.Took a moment with @alexandracooper to see if we could think of any law that gives the government the power to make a decision about a man’s body. The answer? No.
00:00 - I will donate $100,000 to @hasanthehun's fundraising campaign for early prisoner release if he allows @iFixit to tear apart the collar his dog has been wearing on Twitch and verify it isn't a shock collar.
- If the story about Meta removing tampons from the men's restrooms turns out to be true, I will share the hilarious decade-old origin story of the policy.
