Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • Tesla’s Cratering Cybertruck Sales Evoke Ford Edsel Comparisons

    Jump

  • And all he had to do was hire a competent designer and his product likely would have turned out significantly better.

    With each passing day it's amazing to me that the world ever considered this Nazi motherfucker a visionary.

  • Tesla falls 10%, Alphabet sinks 5% as AI spending concerns spook investors

    Jump

  • I hate to admit it, but you're right.

    It's going to take global upheaval to claw power back from the billionaires. They live in a world where they are completely divorced from any kind of public infrastructure, and that wasn't the case the last time this happened in the late 1800's and early 1900's.

  • Flock Safety CEO speaks out after LAPD suspends use of company's surveillance cameras

    Jump

  • Everyone with a brain cell predicted this when Flock began to become infamous earlier this year.

    If your cameras are "AI-Powered" and collecting billions of data points on people, it's just going to equate to (at least) tens of thousands erroneous identifications due to the limitations of the software.

    And that's unacceptable.

  • Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds | Nintendo says Switch buyers got what they paid for, urges court to dismiss lawsuit.

    Jump

  • Nintendo being anti-consumer is no surprise, but it's nice to see someone tried to hold them to account.

    So glad I personally didn't buy a Switch 2.

  • Yope raises $12.3M to build a private social network without algorithms or ads

    Jump

  • There's also federated social media. If anyone needs a primer, I made a video on it. No AI. No Ads. Just great communities and human moderation.

  • AI Companies Are Buying Tons of Old Books Because They're Free of AI Slop

    Jump

  • Yeah, pretty awful on so many different levels.

    Brilliant decision to train their models on the worst content to begin with.

  • The Trump administration is showing signs it could ban cutting-edge Chinese AI models

    Jump

  • I'm sure they'll try.

    But they forget... VPN's are a thing.

  • Billionaires ditching California still face tax threat — Tech entrepreneurs and investors trying to dodge proposed 5% levy may not be in the clear

    Jump

  • This feels like it belongs more in Late Stage Capitalism than Technology. (Crossposted it.)

    But yes, kick the billionaires in the dick. A wealth tax is essential.

  • SpaceX Stock Plummets to Record Low Near $120 After Seven-Day Slump

    Jump

  • Yeah, but that doesn't make for good clickbait.

    And most people who will click on this article don't have a fundamental understanding of the stock market, investing, or why this isn't really that big of a deal.

    (Still, however, don't invest in SpaceX. The stock is structured so retail investors don't have meaningful voting rights.)

  • Mexico Warns of Diarrhea Risk When Visiting US

    Jump

  • My god it would have been so hard for me to reply to that politely.

    Good on you for finding a way to do so.

  • Removed

    China plans to hit an asteroid with a Mach 26 projectile in planet defence test

    Jump

  • Dang.

    I had to scrounge for a video topic last week, and there's so many interesting tech stories this morning that I'm going to be covered for the next month. Bonkers.

    Giant space mirrors, and thieves hijacking data center supplies, and now asteroid defense. Awesome.

  • FCC approves giant space mirror as astronomers warn of risks to the night sky

    Jump

  • This is an important point, and partly why you're not seeing ads up in the night sky just yet.

  • FCC approves giant space mirror as astronomers warn of risks to the night sky

    Jump

  • There's a lot of fuckery afoot as far as space goes. There are even companies trying to get world governments to allow them to put satellites in space so ads can be beamed into the night sky. I made a video about it if anyone's bored.

    The good news is that the scientific community fought back hard against it. You never understand how badass astronomers are until you read up on corporations trying to arse themselves into space.

  • SpaceX stock drops to a new low and loses $1 trillion in value in a month

    Jump

  • The unlocks are coming soon, so I'd expect it to go even lower. If you are going to buy, the dip is what you want for sure.

  • The Shocking Secrets of Madison Square Garden’s Surveillance Machine

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was tempted to make a video about this, but James Dolan is irrationally petty, even with people who don't matter like me. I don't need a billionaire having their assistant ruin my life.

  • People Keep Destroying Flock Cameras Across America. The Paperwork Already Saw It Coming.

    Jump

  • SpaceX Stock Plummets Below IPO Price as $1 Trillion Vanishes

    Jump

  • Not exactly, no.

  • SpaceX Stock Plummets Below IPO Price as $1 Trillion Vanishes

    Jump

  • Or you can dollar cost average your way to a more workable position over time.

    In investing patience is a great thing.

  • Plane passenger invoked Sharia law to avoid sitting next to a woman, then attacked flight attendant

    Jump

  • I wish I knew how to get billions of people to care about anything that actually matters as much as they care about the made-up rules of their imaginary friend club.

    Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference?
