My first thought was THANK GOD. But then my next thought was OH GOD… They’re replacing it with something we can’t even set down or turn off, aren’t they?
Within the next 10 years, our phones will no longer be our primary personal device. bit.ly/4uj5tnB

This is unbelievable. I thought it was AI.
Abdul El-Sayed advocates for sharia law in the U.S.
He argues that the U.S. banned sharia because of hate and discrimination, and the forces that banned it are the same forces that committed [insert every historic evil].
This is obscene political propaganda, putting sharia law in the same category of victimhood as historic American tragedies.
It’s a perfect example of how illiberal movements use liberal politics as a Trojan horse to smuggle in authoritarianism.
But you are right about one thing, Abdul. You don’t know what it means.
Iranians do, and their message is clear:
Fuck you, and fuck your sharia law.

Tonight, people took to the streets in Isfahan، out of fear of public hanging of protesters.
They came out in the middle of the night because they knew what that crane in the square meant.
Dozens of Iranians are writing to me right now:
"Please ask the world to stop these executions."
Can you hear us, world?

WTF
AI companies are purchasing large quantities of used and rare books. Scanning their contents to train models. Then turning the originals to pulp.
The sum of human thought, digitized and shredded.
Every book that gets scanned disappears from the physical world permanently. The knowledge survives only as training data inside a system no one can hold, browse, or resell.
What used to sit on a shelf for centuries now exists as weights in a model that might get deprecated next quarter.

Moshe Yezhak Grunhaus, the Jewish man stabbed yesterday in Manhattan, was in the process of moving to Florida.
He was leaving Florida because he was afraid of a New York under Mamdani. I'm sure plenty scoffed when they found out.
And then, as he was leaving synagogue, he was stabbed. In Mamdani's New York City.
The worst part about being a Jew is constantly being proven right. Because not only do we usually get hurt in the process, but it doesn't even make people more likely to believe us next time.
Why is there so much foot stuff in the Bible?
Take note, sir:
Suicidal empathy was literally the sin of Judas.
Think of what that money could have done for the poor, says the man who turns Christ over to the Roman authorities, and later hung himself in despair.
He makes the statement when Lazarus's sister Mary annoints the feet of Jesus with a costly perfume.
The wisdom in making a misapplied, deceitful and narcissistic empathic altruism the sin of the betrayer of Christ Himself is breathtaking.
It's another example (along with bottomless depths of the story of Cain and Abel and the brazen serpent who is also Jesus) of the truly incomprehensible literary genius of the Biblical canon.

There should be some sort of consequences for a mayor calling for violence against a minority group – even if he doesn’t directly say it just implies it – then the next day getting the violence he requested just like DoorDash. There should be some kind of consequences for that.

No, it’s because they all know he’s dead. Apparently they don’t feel they can do anything about this. I’m pretty sure we’re in the final stage of reality isn’t real and we’ve always been at war with Oceana Fascism.

It would take 90 seconds & the AI on my phone to turn this into a picture of Mitch McConnell in a hospital bed holding a picture of Mitch McConnell holding a picture of ME.
Nothing anyone posts on the Internet means anything. Hold a LIVE press conference in front of LIVE people.
Folks, this is really getting old. I posted a picture from Team Mitch proving that yesterday’s photo of Mitch wasn’t AI and of course all the nattering nabobs of negativism claimed that was AI too. Mitch’s people were kind enough to send a new photo proving its legitimacy. Can we please put this to rest?
For over a century, the diamond market managed to convince the world that a common rock was a rare, romantic treasure. It is the ultimate proof case that value is entirely informational, and scarcity can be perfectly manufactured. But the facade is cracking—not just for gems, but
