  Mitch McConnell may or may not be conscious or even alive, nobody knows why his wife is spending his hopsitalization abroad meeting with the vice president of China, but that's nothing compared to the cover up of Joe Biden's age.

  It's kind of funny how much despair people can knot themselves up into without observing the elementary stripping of publishers' liability for promoting harmful speech. Would this resurgence of orality be so awful if people with terrible things to say weren't being promoted as ubiquitous authorities? The race to the bottom of the discourse has been unhindered by consequence in novel, disregulated ways. It was a choice that Candace Owens became a public health authority....

  Found myself calling a hotel to make a reservation yesterday when none of the websites could complete one, like the stack of bugs running the industry finally swallowed its servers.

  Self-driving tech going so well I'm seeing billboards advertising at women to get into long haul trucking, a career with year after year 100+% turnover because working conditions are too miserly for the self-driving humans.

  "The Trump team said the economy was in a secret recession because it was dependent on health care jobs. Stephen Miran of the CEA and Secretary Bessent argued at the beginning of 2025 that “73% of all jobs created [during the Biden years] were due to government-adjacent sectors like [...] education and health care"... during the first 10 months of their administration... private education and health services were responsible for a comical 255% of all job growth." http...

  "20-year-old student Abdul-Rahman al-Rawi was killed in a U.S. airstrike in Iraq in February 2024. At the time a top U.S. official said the strikes used AI targeting and the military later accepted al-Rawi was killed unintentionally – even sending his family a letter of condolence... CENTCOM’s chief technology officer, Schuyler Moore, declared the targets had been identified with support from [Palantir's] machine learning algorithms known as Project Maven." https://air...

  Israel is always innovating in its efforts to control collateral damage. For instance consider this week's quadruple-tap strike in Mayfadoun, which managed to murder paramedics from three separate ambulance services as each attempted in turn to rescue the last first responders. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/16/israel-escalates-attacks-on-medics-in-lebanon-with-deadly-quadruple-tap

  "Every Black kid is now just standard put on Adderall, SSRIs, benzos, which are known to induce violence. Those kids are gonna have a chance to go [to one of my wellness farms] and be ‘reparented,'" Robert F Kennedy Jr explained on a podcast without explaining what "reparented" means, letting him off the hook two years later when a congress member asked him to explain it and he could blame his cocktail of toilet seat cocaine, crystal meth, heroin, and...

  The monumental manpower manning the tech press -- seemingly the last large labor pool of reporters in the country, are they all on the silicon valley payroll? -- could easily stuff their pages full with tales from revolutions in healthcare and energy but all they ever want to blather about are murderous scammy chatbots that spawn spaghetti code and technical debt, blindly steal the efforts of artists, and flood the courts with endless fabricated citations.
