I absolutely refuse to have anything to do with Elon Musk or his companies. The man is utterly despicable. ... Of course, I do drive a Cyber Truck, because I'm insecure in my masculinity and want people to think I'm a real man's man. But otherwise, I will have no association with him.

Unconscionable to be on “X” at this point. Just a cesspit. Except for banking; I do my banking there & don’t see a problem.

Sorry but The Muslim Brotherhood sounds like one of those Attitude Era wrestling stables that had Farooq and two white guys in it for some reason

One of my highlights of 2025 was helping @nathgalexander.bsky.social bring his world to cartographic life as he prepared to publish his debut fantasy novel. Be sure to give him a follow and check out “Ashes of the Revolution”!

I genuinely saw this and thought “we’ve really moved a long way from slogans like ‘live, laugh, love’”

Trump “was troubled that Guilfoyle was making money off his presidency,” the WSJ informs us, with the journalistic equivalent of a straight face.

"Guilfoyle was scrambling to save her job ... when the Journal revealed texts showing she had solicited $100k from a Trump donor, Guilfoyle reached out to the WH to say the texts were AI generated. The officials didn’t believe her claims. Journal reporters verified the authenticity of the texts."

I really dislike the phrase "it raises questions about..." I mean, what are those questions exactly? And don't we already know the answer to the questions in this case? Like, yes, it's obviously corrupt and politically motivated. There is no "question" about that.

My solution to these things is that anytime the AI breaks out and commits crimes, the CEO goes to jail. I bet if this rule was in place, ~somehow~ the companies would manage to keep the AI from "going rogue." The same goes for AI creating CSAM, etc.
