The difference between a smart person and a billionaire is that a smart person knows that being a billionaire doesn't inherently make them smart. Every smart person knows this. Most (not all) billionaires don't know this. People who worship billionaires don't get it. Elon Musk is a billionaire.

Bluesky family! I have a need for something like the standard clamp-on spring/loaded or gas-cylinder monitor stand, but in a sense half of one. The side of my desk doesn’t have enough flat lip surface for the clamp, but there is a built-in back shelf where one fits sideways. 1/

Deplatforming is out of favor in Silicon Valley. But it works. A new study in Nature finds that Twitter's mass suspension of 70,000 QAnon-linked accounts after Jan. 6 meaningfully reduced the overall circulation of fake and hyperpartisan news on the platform. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Helping my dad purge stuff. Found an old AT&T Pantech Breeze III. I wanted to wipe it but was stymied by a 4-digit password. None of the usual suspects worked. I googled that shit & for once AI didn’t interfere. I found an AT&T web page with instructions and the default (1234).

“The company behind the new drone, Seattle-based Brinc — a tech startup with a 24-year-old chief executive — has boasted it will ‘revolutionize the public safety landscape.’” 🫠

I agree with all that. Personally I think the biggest messes we have now are related to the blind, relentless desire to deregulate. People saw regulation around them and thought "I'm trapped in a cage," and only now that it's all torn down do they realize "oh, it was actually the hull of the boat"

It is extraordinarily, spectacularly funny that Jack Dorsey literally called us “common,” as if he’s the Third Lord Viscount Fartleby sneering at the help while cheating at a game of croquet

Not once, but twice (2009 and 2015), Obama apologized and had rescinded Homeland Security and FBI analysis papers that found far right extremists were the greatest threat to domestic security. The “establishment right” backed the far right 100%.

would you believe me if i told you that while the overwhelming majority of examples cited within are of conservatives attacking their political enemies and the majority of those are specifically trump-related this article implicitly treats political violence and terror as a cross-partisan issue

Both the USDA and the CDC have acknowledged that many farmers have been unwilling to allow testing of their animals or to permit public health officials to speak with or conduct testing on their workers.

Reluctance among dairy farmers to report outbreaks or allow testing of their workers is adding to the challenges in assessing how much transmission is occurring and the risk it poses to people.
