I'm actually in favor of America getting a new Winchester Mystery House and also it being where the President lives. Feels appropriate.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too.

there are a million reasons generative AI sucks shit, but if people want a completely practical one, here it is: LLMs are statistical models and are inevitably going to output the same things over and over again until it all becomes identical noise. it already has! I don't want it writing my resume!

saw multiple (two) ads on youtube today starting with "Product — It's Not Just X — It's Y." I should've known the marketers would all start using chatGPT. I'm not going to cry for the tragic loss of human-written annoying ads for the brands that are ruining the world but it still sucks to see lmao

I'm not very well-versed in prison abolition policy so I don't know how to really square the feeling that we shouldn't have prisons with the inarguable fact that everyone in the Trump administration should be punished for their crimes. dunk tanks?

president poopoo. diarrhea donald. dookie trump. com-manure in chief. donald dump. these are the sort of unfunny nicknames I would never call the president if he hadn't posted a video of him flying a plane full of shit. however, as a patriot, it is now my solemn duty, even though I don't want to,

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

Also I truly believe that a lot of people right of center could come to the left if it was clear that one party wanted to help them and the other wanted them to suffer. Currently nobody wants to help anyone and the Republicans are better at lying. Wouldn't it be nice if the Democrats wanted to help

I always think about this when people say "don't wish ill on red states, they have tons of blue voters." I get it but also... when we say things like "health care is a human right" we have to mean it! It's not just the blue voters who deserve food and homes and medicine!

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”

@aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

Paxos accidentally mints more than twice the global GDP in PayPal stablecoins

October 15, 2025
https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=paxos-accidental-mint

Paxos accidentally mints more than twice the global GDP in PayPal stablecoins
Paxos, the issuer of PayPal's PYUSD stablecoin, accidentally minted 300 trillion of the supposedly dollar-pegged token. For context, this is approximately 2.5x the global GDP, and around 125x the total number of US dollars actually in circulation.
Paxos later announced that the mint was an "internal technical error", and that they had burned the excess tokens.
While PayPal promises its customers that "Reserves are held 100% in US dollar deposits, US treasuries and cash equivalents – meaning that customer funds are available for 1:1 redemption with Paxos," there clearly isn't much in the way of safeguards to ensure that is always the case. As with most stablecoin issuers, Paxos merely issues self-reported and unreviewed portfolio reports, and monthly third-party attestations (not audits) of reserves.

brie is a low-tier cheese and I'm tired of people acting like it's somehow good or classy because it's not one of the basic ubiquitous cheeses like cheddar or swiss. it's the settlers of catan of cheeses

This is a man who learned of multiple deaths caused directly by his chatbot and (months later) announced that they would be "mitigating" this with parental restrictions, ignoring that most of the incidents were not minors. Oh well! Treat adults like adults! Let them be driven to murder and suicide!
