  LOL. We may have escaped a bad emergency AI safety bill being rushed through because Johnson sent the house home until the midterms to avoid a Hegseth impeachment vote. They don’t come back until November 9th. https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/16/politics/house-early-recess-hegseth-impeachment

  Mark Carney is an Everton fan? Huh. Well, at least now we know he has a high tolerance for pain. #FediFC

  RE: https://tomkahe.com/@GiftArticles/117282290293548301 Media: Congress needs to regulate AI NOWWWW Congress: AM 👏 RADIO 👏 IN 👏 NEW 👏 CARS (I actually support this as well as taking time on AI policy, but the split screen here is just 🤌)

  RE: https://tomkahe.com/@GiftArticles/117282406163960033 Hegseth’s going to end up at Palantir or Anduril when his time is up at DoD. It’s just likely to happen sooner than he had planned.

  Good morning. My day includes dropping in to my spouse’s ethics class to inform them that their assigned video on the AI apocalypse was produced by a pro-apocalypse sex cult possibly financed with proceeds from the FTX fraud, and maybe considering one’s sources should be a subset of any ethics curriculum Life on the stupidest possible timeline continues apace

  In driving school, I learned never to look at trees while you’re driving. Why? Because if you stare at the tree, you end up driving into the tree. It’s apparent that the TESCREAL folks planted a seed called “AI apocalypse” and have been sitting there for 20 years watching it grow, thinking “someday I am gonna steer us into that tree SO FUCKING HARD”

  I've already lost where it was I got this from, but this is the fastest Effective Altruism speedrun I can think of. Covers just about all of the greatest hits in 5 minutes or so. https://nitter.app/banteg/status/2100619607648121199

  Just devastating to see what Acrobat’s become. Hey! Here’s where we moved the two tools you use regularly, for the 7th time. Hey! Use our share tool, instead of just emailing the person directly. It’s not easier! Hey! Did you know we have AI? You should use it. It can read this for you, poorly. Translate it even more poorly. Oh, unless it’s a scan. Anyway, AI! AI everything and everywhere! You love it! Hey! What are you thinking RIGHT NOW Uninstalled. Again.

  I just noticed that the Twentieth Anniversary Mac came out in 1997. Look at this beauty. Probably too late if they haven't already been working on it, but a Fiftieth Anniversary Mac would be a nice touch.

  Love that the new Fed chair HAD to listen to Trump telling him he had to lower interest rates a hundred times before he was nominated, and now, at his first board meeting, he's like nah, probably gonna raise em. 🤣

  Fun fact! The original X dot com was an online bank around 2000, and it was… pretty great, actually. Then PayPal needed a licensed bank, and Elon needed an exit, so they sold it and closed their customers’ accounts. I remember waking up one day to an email saying: hey, jerks, we got ours, now you have 30 days to get your cash out before we disable your debit card, byeeeeeee Asshole. https://www.theverge.com/tech/971649/x-money-launch-elon-musk

  Dear #ADHD friends: First: *secret handshake* Second: if you vote by mail, YOU HAVE TO SEND YOUR BALLOT BACK ASAP. If you wait until a few days before election day, USPS cannot be trusted to deliver it on time, and an army of lawyers is apt to try to invalidate it. This is that one assignment in school that you hated because you couldn't slide it under the door on the last day of school. I know. I'm sorry. But this one is important. THE BALLOT IS LAVA #USPol

  RE: https://tomkahe.com/@GiftArticles/116986908414688088 Ableist-ass framing. At least the neuroscientist author partially credits his brain composition, but then the WaPo editors pick the headline “Why disabled thing alive? Because mom.”

  TIL there's been something called an Alien Terrorist Removal Court in the US for 30 years, but it's never heard a single case because it's basically got I VIOLATE THE DUE PROCESS CLAUSE written on its seal aaaaand of course the reason I'm hearing about it today is Trump wants to start using it https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/23/politics/alien-terrorist-removal-court-explainer

  Watching SCOTUS coverage this hour across networks and the one group I havent’t heard anyone talk about is trans kids who want to play sports. But plenty about “biological men.” This whole thing is a cryptofascist campaign to make trans kids (and adults) feel scary and sinister. We saw it in the UK, and now it’s here. Draw your battle lines accordingly.

  Just saw someone refer to the reflecting pool as "The Strait of Warm Ooze" and okay, that's a pretty good one
