he’s sending thousands of armed guys from texas to places where any meaningful opposition might crystallize, and they’re still trying to use the courts to stop him. lol.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

apple really dropped the ball on ios26/macos26 and tne iphone 17 pro. they're not insanely great, and they're not normal great either. this is a real tragedy, the end of perhaps the most important era since the personal computer was invented.

i absolutely cannot believe that apple shipped this. if heads don’t absolutely roll for this the company is toast. they should have pushed the release back. this “must release everything at once because new iphone” is insanity.

why do we as a society simply accept that you can’t check valuables into luggage with airlines? why is it that in most places your things are more safe in the trunk of your car on a street than under 400 cameras in a secured building with badge access? police are such lazy trash

i am not against all regulation of ownership of arms, just most of it - similar to the regulation around publishing. one heuristic you should use when proposing legislation in the wake of a tragedy: “if this were already in place, would it have prevented this outcome today?” almost all i see is “no”

imagine advocating for restrictions on private ownership of arms (that naturally do not apply to police or the military) in 2025 in Trump’s America.

Also, we have data now showing that being in a data breach really does increase your chance of being a victim of identity theft, even if you never slip up and leak or accidentally authorize something you shouldn't.

It remains staggering to me that, in the absence of meaningful penalties for the people at fault, this has simply become a part of ordinary modern life.
NEW: Credit reporting giant TransUnion has confirmed a data breach involving more than 4.4 million customers' personal information. TransUnion claims "no credit information was accessed" in the late-July breach, which it said involves its U.S. consumer support operations.

the “light” in the verb “to gaslight” refers to a noun, the light from a gaslamp. therefore the past tense is “gaslighted”, not “gaslit”.

i heard someone complaining recently about men using the FLINTA-designated toilets at Berghain. i really wanted to ask: “so you assumed someone’s gender by looking at them, and then began policing what toilets they are allowed to use?” i’m pretty sure the T stands for trans?

the apple vision pro is not insanely great. it’s barely good. it’s not great. it’s plain as day not insanely great to even the thickest among us.
there is no excuse for it shipping as it is.
