Re open starlink. Does anyone remember who the good guys are? nytimes.com/2026/10/14/world…

Is it time to nationalize Starlink? No CEO should have the power to make strategic wartime decisions like this that could cost our allies their lives.
No matter how many hundreds of millions he donated to the President.
Unconscionable if true. Need confirmation, as this would mean Musk essentially was directly responsible for deaths of Ukrainians. No laughing matter. Obviously a response from the company is required. Suspicions in Kyiv running high after US threats to withhold intel (which we apparently have not done, it is still flowing). This, though, is a twist. So an investigation is in order, need to get this right. Was starlink purposefully restricted? Was this at the request of the US side? Musk needs to respond to all of this. Congress and the media needs to demand answers. Gang of 8 should request a briefing from CIA and DoD asap.

I am going to make a group chat full of people hacking insanely cool things onto hardware.
Reply or retweet and I’ll add you to the chat.
I have discovered $50 amazon photo frames to be the PERFECT home display screen
They can be rooted, updated to run a modern browser, have WiFi and can be powered from USB
1280×800 resolution with a nice touch screen
I detailed how to hack these yourself in my latest video

San Diego is not collateral damage.
We are not expendable.
And we are never a "small price to pay."
Keep our city out of your reckless war talk.

When I was traveling I used Foursquare/Swarm religiously & racked up a ton of checkins. I made an app to map & explore all that data: went.place. If you're also a Swarm user, I could use some help testing it against other people's exports. And you might even like it!

First, they sent the FBI to seize ballots in GA. Then, they tried to get data on election workers in Fulton County.
Now, they’re threatening to imprison election officials.
This is escalating quickly. Every single American should be alarmed.
RIP, @om. you were such an inspiring and thoughtful person who was always adding value to the world.

So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?

Preemptive capitulation to the government is the path to tyranny. It begins when people who know they are being asked to do the wrong thing comply anyway, hoping to escape the wrath of the ruler. But such compliance only whets his appetite, for it shows there is no check to his power.
Tomorrow, he will demand even more unpalatable things, and most will submit, because each step seems only a little worse than the one before. And when at last you turn back—if you ever find the courage to do so—you will see how far you have traveled, and how deeply you have sunk.
That is why the line against illiberalism must be drawn now. We must defend the Constitution and the principles upon which this Republic was founded—the very principles that are the source of its strength and greatness.
In the hours leading up to the decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel, two sources familiar with the matter say, senior executives at ABC, its owner Disney, and affiliates convened emergency meetings to figure out how to minimize the damage. Multiple execs felt that Kimmel had not actually said anything over the line, the two sources say, but the threat of Trump administration retaliation loomed.

"The half of the country that voted against Donald Trump is left standing alone. Who in the Biden administration is shoring up whatever guardrails remain?" You know, someone can do something about that.

John Oliver's brilliant take on why he's voting for Kamala Harris. And he featured Georgia State Rep. Ruwa Romman.

If you claim to be a leader in any way—political leader, thought-leader, business leader, religious leader—and you don’t stand up and say clearly that America must keep this man away from power, then you’re no kind of leader at all.

I long for the day when we can return to healthy and principled partisan debates. But this election is different… and much deeper than left versus right. It’s about the survival of our democracy.
The stakes are really high — and the best candidate is clear: @KamalaHarris
