Fittingly for this interstitial period before the new year, I got photos of a place that looks stuck between realities.

The old Windows maze screensaver. This maze has wood floors red brick walls and a cement ceiling. In this still there are two paths branching off from the camera with other offshoots visible down the left path.

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:

• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).

• Sex criminals.

• War criminals.

Pete Hegseth, who I do not support, may have been wrong to murder those Venezuelan survivors, who I also do not support, but at least he didn’t do it with drones the way a shitlib would have.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
carnage4life.bsky.social Dare Obasanjo @carnage4life.bsky.social · 1d
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

On the one hand this is heinous, on the other hand under this logic an enterprising Democratic president can declare tech billionaires to be terrorists who are poisoning the American people with their products

I regret every joke I’ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didn’t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesn’t know how to use a computer

people are starting to leak. republicans who are either planning to retire or don’t have to face voters again until after trump’s term is over are starting to talk about trump in public the way they’ve spent the last decade talking about him in private. 2006 vibes increasing.

THIS IS A GOOD HEADLINE.
‘The government is subsidizing corporate profits’: Who employs the most SNAP recipients in Massachusetts? The majority of working-age people on food stamps have jobs. But the wages don’t add up, and more attempts to limit eligibility are on the horizon.

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...
Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday. The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal. "My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

If by some miracle the whole AI industry falls apart because some tech bros decided to spend trillions on compute without spending maybe tens of millions a year on licensing art, I will laugh so hard I'll be in danger of a ruptured spleen.
