Thirteen years ago, JOMO, the Joy Of Missing Out. It’s such a universal thing that this became one of the most popular pieces I’ve written, and this dies the rounds about once a year every year since. (Others have written books + started podcasts on it.) www.anildash.com/2012/07/19/j...

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.
May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

While you are looking at Trump, the oligarchs are seeding themselves deeper into the fabric of society, your government, and your resources. Your media is captured, your institutions are captured, your politicians are captured, and your algorithms are captured. A full system reboot is needed. #3E

Dear Media,
STOP calling RFK Jr a vaccine "skeptic".
He is an antivaxx liar. An anti-science fearmonger. An exploitive brand builder.
He has NOTHING to do with thoughtful skepticism. Don't normalize false balance, middle ground fallacies, or his harmful BS.

Elon blaming the Jews for his company’s troubles. Imagine.
Guess losing $150 billion got under the old boy's skin. No surprise, he's responding by throwing around tired old conspiracy theories meant to intimidate and discredit us. Guess we better make #teslatakedown so big no one can hear him over our noise! And lol he's signing his tweets now?

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.”

Thomson Reuters has won the first major AI copyright case in the US. The decision has big implications for the battle between generative AI companies and rightsholders.

Elon Musk has been attacking USAID — because USAID has been investigating Musk
Why? Because USAID paid for the Starlink units Musk claimed to give Ukraine in 2022 (!!!)
Some ended up with Russia — so USAID opened an inquiry
Meanwhile Musk started speaking to Putin in late 2022
