My coffee machine broke down. (Dramatic, I know.) I have to get a new one quickly. I want something specific that appears to be not widely available, and I wonder if anyone has recommendations. I want to have coffee made once, consumed over multiple ours. Heating plates make it taste terrible, coffee should go into an insulated pot.
☕🧵/thread

Renee Good is a crisis for the Trump regime: not because they care about her life, but because ICE murdering her makes ICE look bad. They’ve been telling all these stories about all the imaginary violence ICE officers face. In their minds, it’s the people on the streets who were supposed to lose their cool first. Now they’re falling over themselves to make that happen.
We just want ICE gone, but their bosses want them dead. And no, I’m sure they do not understand this.

Exiting the Billionaire Castle
In 2025 I have spend some time to untangle my digital life from billionaire/fascist (that Venn diagram is becoming more of a circle each and every day) run platforms. So at the beginning of 2026 maybe it makes sense to talk a bit about what I did, why I went certain ways and what works […]

I deeply dislike AI.
It does seem like the "nobody wants AI" crowd needs to update their world view be cause it seems like the reality is "a vocal minority doesn't want AI".
Pretending like most people are anti AI just doesn't map IMHO. I don't know what % want AI but a large % just want things that work. It just so happens generally AI doesn't work but some times it does work and people are fine with it, which is sad.

ONE RULEBOOK FOR AI I wanted to share a few thoughts on AI preemption and address some of the concerns. First, this is not an “AI amnesty” or “AI moratorium.” It is an attempt to settle a question of jurisdiction. When an AI model is developed in state A, trained in state B,
