This is the 2026 version of “deplorables.”
Anti-AI people are taking over my timeline and replies lately. I had no idea there were this many clueless idiots on X until now.

This is what I’m talking about.
AI culture really seems close to crypto bro culture. It’s the same “ have fun being poor” defensiveness if you point out anything It’s all bafflingly stupid. Especially if your Pro AI but calm about it. Wanting a bit of patience and some consideration.

Who will play Stephen Miller on SNL?

Nancy is the biggest self-own poster out there.
For the record: we will NOT be putting pronouns in our bio or email signature.

This is Trump's new chief of staff. He is an angry little man.
Unearthed video of Stephen Miller on bizarre tirade: "I am sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash when we have plenty of janitors to do it for us!"

This is a pretty common view in Silicon Valley.
Human disempowerment now. It's time for the age of the folly and cruelty of human politics to end. The median AI is so far above the median human voter in both knowledge and decency it's embarrassing. Humanity should just take the L.

This is what most of Silicon Valley fails to understand. Rather than even trying to get to know Americans' reasons for this, instead, most tech people on this site just call them idiots.
Of the more than 40 data center proposals on US ballots this week, only 1 passed. Americans resoundingly reject them. (This is partly why AI stocks are tanking.) We can debate whether data centers are good/ bad for a local community (there are genuine pros + cons), but that might be beside the point. The truth is that this is the first time regular Americans have ever wielded leverage over Silicon Valley. For decades, they’ve been powerless. Powerless to monopolization, regulatory capture, and unprecedented societal control. Now, Silicon Valley needs the American people’s permission for something. (Not just something, but the very thing they bet the farm on.) And the American people’s answer is simple: no. This is a dramatic shift in power — a dynamic Silicon Valley’s never experienced before. It’ll be fascinating to see how it plays out.

Don't let Ron Desantis position himself as some kind of post-MAGA leader. This is him.

Hey @TheFP, this guy just spoke TWO foreign languages in one acceptance speech. Will America and the Jewish people survive?
Honored to be the first Asian American and Arab American elected to Congress from Massachusetts. Thank you. 감사합니다. شكرًا.

Honestly, if Letterboxd has to be sold, this is a better outcome than some others.
The New York Times is now in exclusive talks to acquire for Letterboxd for around $330M. (Source: nytimes.com/2026/11/05/busin…)

It took First Lady’s friends getting deported for Trump to realize it’s gone too far.
Trump has told aides Stephen Miller has gone too far in immigration after his wife Melania complained about people she knew were getting deported, per WSJ

He's gonna run.
Jon Ossoff sounding more and more like a Democrat nominee in waiting…

Whoops! Sounds like Fox News is not “fair and balanced”
OMG -- Bret Baier on a hot mic is heard saying "can we do a spin on the races that?-- oh, I'm sorry. I guess we're on TV."

My guess is Haley Stevens will do a full Tulsi Gabbard in the coming years.

THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK is a well-realized character study, full of thrills, humor and some heart. John Turturro and the supporting cast are wonderful in highlighting the old vs. new world we live in. It’s a bit too neat at the end but this is a really good little movie. Soak in the vibes of New York.
