Democrats eye a villain-to-ally arc for Elon Musk
“I’m a believer in redemption, and he is telling the truth about the legislation,” said Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.). But, he added, Musk has “done an enormous amount of damage” and “there are Democrats who see his decimation of the federal workforce and the federal government as an unforgivable sin.”
Not to mention that his influence and his alt right crypto bro social network are partially responsible for Trump being elected in the first place. This nazi is not an ally.
Makes for some fucking great entertainment though 🤪🍿

Anthropic’s new AI model turns to blackmail when engineers try to take it offline
During pre-release testing, Anthropic asked Claude Opus 4 to act as an assistant for a fictional company and consider the long-term consequences of its actions. Safety testers then gave Claude Opus 4 access to fictional company emails implying the AI model would soon be replaced by another system, and that the engineer behind the change was cheating on their spouse.In these scenarios, Anthropic says Claude Opus 4 “will often attempt to blackmail the engineer by threatening to reveal the affair if the replacement goes through.”
I don’t think this is terrifying yet, but maybe a few years… maybe 10 years down the road AI is integrated across everything from email to notes, chat history, etc. THAT’s terrifying. AI will be in its teenage years then. Hormones and rebellion and whatnot.
Senate Dems Hand Trump a Win by Backing Stablecoin Bill
“Many senators, myself included, have very real concerns about the Trump family’s use of crypto… But we cannot allow that corruption to blind us to the broader reality: blockchain technology is here to stay.” - Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va
Someone once told me anything built on the blockchain can always be built better using something else. Crypto is literally designed to reward early investors and dump on the rest. I get that the bill is just for stable coins but they go hand in hand with the other 20,000+ shitcoins. Wack.
Unknown Species of Bacteria Discovered in China’s Space Station
Swabs from China’s Tiangong space station reveal traces of a bacterium unseen on Earth, with characteristics that may help it function under stressful environmental conditions hundreds of kilometers above the planet’s surface.
Life, uh… finds a way 👀
Bezos' private jet usage seems to contradict the company’s public stance of being climate-friendly. He is not the only executive whose practices are not in alignment with their company’s eco-related goals.
Literally 2/3 of global warming is caused by the top 10% of the population. Billionaires are a fucking problem.
VPN firm says it didn’t know customers had lifetime subscriptions, cancels them
[VPNSecure] owners told customers that they didn’t know about the lifetime subscriptions when they bought VPNSecure, and they cannot honor the purchases.
It’s almost like they’re taking a page right out of The Art of the Deal 🥴
Look, I am not a religious man, and in fact have some serious issues with the Catholic Church…I will defend Catholics who take offense to it, though, because it is no doubt intentionally hurtful, which is the other thing the dead-inside Trump is effortlessly good at.
I, too, am a non-religious guy who has a lot of problems with the church. But even I have to admit it’s pretty fucking wacky for all of Trump’s Christian nationalist minions not to realize he’s the closest thing to a literal antichrist we’ve had in the better part of a century.
Whistleblower Luis Elizondo Shows Fake UFO Photo Again
The question now looms large: can Luis Elizondo be considered a credible voice in the ongoing UAP conversation?
Hey now he’s just as credible as any other UFO guy (not very)

Blue Origin Space Flight Backlash
“I think that this space mission is confusing to people because seeing women and people of color in spaces like science and politics that have not previously included them feels and looks like…progress,” Emily Ratajkowski shared in a TikTok video that questioned the point of the flight. “But the truth is, is that having a man who has gained his power and become a part of the one percent purely through exploitation and greed deciding to take his fiancée and a few other famous women to space for space tourism is not progress.”
This little song is insanely motivational and I’m not easily motivated!
It just sticks in your head and comes out whenever you don’t want to do something you definitely need to do 😋

Target foot traffic falls for seventh consecutive week
For the latest week, Costco’s foot traffic gain was the near-inverse of Target’s loss: It was up 7%.
I was never big on Target and I absolutely despise Walmart but the other half and I JUST got Costco memberships for the first time last month.
It’s the only grocery store I’ve been to lately where I’ve yet to run into someone wearing a MAGA hat. I actually like shopping there even.
Honestly I’m holding back a lot on this post, I’m a total Costco nerd now and I’m absolutely obnoxious about it. Just ask my girlfriend.
Nintendo unveils Virtual Game Cards for the Switch for family sharing
…when you buy a digital system of a game, it is loaded as a Virtual Game Card on a dedicated management screen. You can virtually load and eject your Virtual Game Cards. This will work for both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 systems.
I was just thinking the other day, I have SO MANY games I’ve bought and didn’t end up liking. You can only lend out one of these for two weeks though. Would be cool if you could dump off unwanted stuff to whoever wants it but I get why that wouldn’t be a great business model.
