The entirety of Immigration and Customs Enforcement needs to be figuratively burned to the ground, and everyone that took part in it needs to face overwhelming legal, social and personal consequences.
No quarter, no mercy. They're violent fucking Nazis and we need to treat them as such.

Happy five year anniversary of the former president and current despot of the US inciting an insurrection at the nation's capitol over losing an election, and facing zero real world consequences for it.

Two things can be, and in fact are, both true:
• AI is unethical whether it works or not.
• AI doesn't work.
• AI is unethical whether it works or not.
• AI doesn't work.

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

Mozilla has a new CEO which:
- Has been at Mozilla for less than a year
- Has no prior open source experience (but well in "fintech" and "real estate")
- Has a MBA (aka "brainworm diploma")
- Is all-in on AI
That’s exactly the kind of profile the whole community has been waiting for.

Look, either we as a society can tax billionaires out of existence, or we can kill them with hammers.
Right now, it seems like they're pulling for the latter, which is...an odd choice.

I think it is telling that we are about three years into the AI craze and, still, every single time someone says to me "I asked ChatGPT ___ " or "The chatbot told me ____" I know they are about to say something completed stupid and devoid of facts. Every single time.

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.

Generally speaking, I'm against capital punishment. It's barbaric and, like any punitive legal "solution", will inevitably end up being used disproportionately against the poor and marginalized.
But maaan, this Epstein stuff is testing my resolve on the matter

Roomba robot vacuums could lose (almost) all features as iRobot faces imminent bankruptcy
Former robot vacuum leader iRobot reported even greater losses than expected in the 3rd quarter of 2025, as revenue dropped by nearly a quarter compared to last year. The company is warning of a possible bankruptcy, which could result in notable limitations for Roomba owners.
