"Trump has spent half a year boasting about how he is withdrawing our collective ability to help those facing personal and collective emergencies. The result is that everyone — local officials, mainstream media, social media users, even Grok — thinks of him as soon as there's a disaster."

Trump gutted the weather service. Then Texas flooded.

I wanted to replicate the authentic look of playing a VCD on a CRT TV, so I tweaked VLC to give my RoboCop 2 VCD that classic “analog” vibe.
First, I enabled Deinterlace under the Video settings and set the Deinterlace mode to Blend for smoother motion.
Then, I went to Tools > Preferences, switched to All settings, and navigated to Video > Filters. To deepen the effect, I enabled these filters:
- Wave
- Video transformation
- Motion blur
- Deinterlacing
- Sharpen
- Mirror
- Gradfun
Below, you can see the results: the first image shows playback with no deinterlacing or filters applied, while the second displays the enhanced “analog” look with all filters active.

He’s the #hackathon king of SF — and he doesn’t even know how to #code

“Vibe-coding” was coined by AI researcher Andrej Karpathy this year to describe the process of using AI to translate natural language prompts into functional code. The practice has become widespread as startups vibe-code products and Big Tech companies demand employees use coding assistants like Cursor and Claude.

How about an AI generated AI compute platform based on organic components that require sunlight to operate instead of electricity to provide relief to unwealthy Americans like me who suffer in order to pay for the billionaires' data centers?
｢ Specifically, organized crime members in Catalonia use GrapheneOS, a privacy and security-focused operating system that keeps your data out of Google’s reach. Criminals and gang members in Spain prefer using GrapheneOS on Pixel phones, and there’s a good reason for it. GrapheneOS implements full disk and metadata encryption, a security feature exploited by miscreants. But it works best on Pixels ｣

"We are a group of diverse students, some of whom have experienced the entire period of Germany’s repressive tactics since October 7, 2023, and some of whom are just starting out at the university. This text has been written collectively, anonymously, and with a hint of fear. It reflects on and denounces the current situation at the Berlin University of the Arts (udk berlin), one of the many cases of repression and criminalization that have taken place after October 7, 2023, against those in Germany expressing their solidarity with Palestine."

in reply to Frankie ✅ • • •The image depicts a statue of a figure seated on a pedestal. The figure is cloaked in a long, black hooded robe with intricate designs, including a mechanical shoulder piece. The robe is detailed with silver accents, and the figure's face is partially visible, showing pale skin and a serious expression. The figure holds a book with a cross on the cover, suggesting a religious or ceremonial significance. The pedestal is inscribed with text: "IN CON... PILOT EBO... WHO PRESERVE... ALL M... DURING... 18... DAVID CYDIL... DEDICATED JULY 20, 2009." The statue is set against a plain white background, emphasizing the figure and the pedestal. The overall style is reminiscent of a blend of gothic and steampunk aesthetics.
