Just a humble progressive who designs computer chips for a living. In a different life, I probably would have been a historian.

There's actually a downside for Trump in the TikTok shenanigans.
If his supporters and media enablers buy into the argument that he can solve this problem on his own, well, that's going to lead to expectations that he can solve all problems on his own and ... good luck with that.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here
THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.
You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.
Which is more powerful?

Trumpism is like climate change: it's already here, it has done irreparable damage, and even if we take action now we'll be dealing with it's impact for the rest of our lives.

More pushback: Ca Gov Gavin Newsom announced today that Teslas would be excluded from EV credits in his plan, if Trump rolls back federal EV credits. 👊

Am I happy about Trump winning? No. Do I think it’s the end of the world? Also no. We need to understand why a lot of people stayed home and how to better appeal to them in the midterms and the next presidential.

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.
His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

People need to calm down about the Oreshnik missile. (Not about the strike itself, which was barbarous Putin chest-thumping.)
It's a medium range ballistic missile. Of course it's faster than the speed of sound because that's what ballistic missiles do. Don't fall for "AMAZING SUPERWEAPON" hype.
