- The goal of US diplomacy should be advancing the interests of the United States and the American people, not twisting arms to drum up business for the president’s biggest campaign donor’s private company. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

- Translation: 1) Contrary to what this administration has been saying, countries aren't dying to negotiate deals with the US. 2) Instead, Trump will dictate how much US consumers and companies will pay to import goods from other countries. 3) It's absurd. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

- we wrote about how grok wouldnt stop talking about white genocide in south africa today (which it later called a "debunked conspiracy theory" in response to me) www.wired.com/story/grok-w...
- !!!!!!!! xai published a postmortem about what happened with grok yesterday
- it's just too bad we will never solve the impenetrable mystery of who made grok obsessed with south african white genocide theory at 3:15 am

- you know, I'd always assumed we'd get the hierarchy where the rich could afford real people and everyone else got stuck with shitty AI, but I think I had not reckoned on the religious bent these guys have about their toys

- Taking bribes from crypto billionaires? Totally kosher. Inviting AIPAC affiliated, Trump supporting billionaires to dictate primary outcomes? No problem. Survivor of a mass shooting wants to help support a new generation of leaders? GET THIS GUY OUT OF HERE!
- If you cave and talk the cops out of fear or weakness, I have sympathy. If you talk at length to the cops because you know you are just the bro to stand up to tyranny, and you talking at length to the cops is fighting the power, you’re a dipshit.
- Ken, people are telling me in my notifications that it's okay because he "knows the risk" and that he "doesn't need a lawyer because he's not suspected of a crime" and I am losing my mind.

- This isn't right even as a matter of literal definitions. Bribery requires quid pro quo. "Corruption" is not limited to bribery. It is corrupt to personally profit off your public office even if it's not direct bribery. Don't finger-wag about "terms matter" if you're going to misdefine said terms.
- what fucking timeline are we living in
- I don't remember many specific lessons from college, but my freshman world history prof once told our class something I think about every week: "Everyone has a world view. Even if you don't have a world view, that's a world view, isn't it?" There is no Trump coup without the support of Congress.
- That sucker? Born every minute.
- Of 67,000 small-dollar investors who bought Trump's meme coin using debit cards, 80% have lost money while only 3% have gained and the rest are about even, a @washingtonpost.com review finds. @drewharwell.com @jeremybmerrill.com www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

- This may genuinely be one of the most devastating things I've seen about a tech CEO in the mainstream media. Amazing.

- I am old enough to remember when Adam Jonas valued Tesla insurance at a gazillion dollars. Turns out that Tesla has paid out more in claims than it has collected in premiums in each of 2022, ‘23 & ‘24. Just another pump that came and went. insideevs.com/news/759156/...
