It’s wild how many of the big media owners are subs with a humiliation kink specific to Trump, where they love him offering a tiny bit of praise in between threatening to kill them Quoting @froomkin.bsky.social Sulzberger writes “No president in modern history has been more hostile than Donald Trump to a press he’s dubbed ‘the enemy of the people.’” Then he brags about Trump praising the Times as a “jewel”, basking in the validation. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/18/o...

I'm curious how this is going to go down. Collective wisdom among academics who study this stuff (unsurprising if you think about it) is that consumer facing businesses are a hell of a lot more vulnerable to brand damage and boycotts. Related

When a discussion becomes tribalized, the collective mind drops by 50 IQ points Quoting @micsolana main thing preventing us from having a productive AI safety conversation is identity. too many AI people want to be seen as intelligent by AI safety giants. too many skeptics want to be seen as critical of EA. you have to actually think. that is the only way we'll get there.

Once again, Europe woke up to reckless and dangerous Russian behaviour. A Russian warship fired emergency flares dangerously close to a Danish helicopter. A drone entered Lithuanian airspace before being destroyed by NATO fighter jets. These are not isolated incidents. They are part of a broader pattern of Russian aggression and provocation against Europe, testing our readiness and our resolve. Russia will find our resolve only growing stronger. We are reinforcing our collective deterrence and defence, together with NATO. And we are stepping up the pressure on Russia. Europe Russia Related

This life is fucking amazing. I'm so grateful to be alive, with all of you on this miracle of a planet. Oh and I'm sorry if I fuck things up sometimes. I'm a flawed human. But I promise to do whatever I can to try to add some more understanding and love to this world.

What do YOU think, fellow @Tesla owners? I personally disagree with almost everything the company has changed about the cars in the past few years. Bring back more physical controls and don't make people fuck with a touchscreen while driving. Keep autopilot because people want to control their own speed and lane selection sometimes, and so much more. Or watch the sales keep going to competitors. If I had to replace my 2023 model Y right now, a used one would be more valuable than a new one. Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
