- Comment on Elon Musk and Wikipedia are feuding 3 hours ago:
You know you can say “Chinese troll” without hating anybody, yes?
As in “the person is a troll” and “the person is Chinese”. No hate anywhere: it’s just two facts that happen to go together quite well because China is kind of notorious for being the place where you can find internet trolls for hire for cheap.
You need to stop thinking everything in terms of how racist it sounds.

Thank you. That was informative. I didn’t know.
- Comment on DOGE uncovers over 4M government credit cards responsible for 90M transactions 1 day ago:
$90M? Wow… That’s like the annual budget of the city of Ithaca, NY.
Phew! With savings that like, we’re well on our way to recovering those $2tn Musk promised.
- Comment on Elon Musk and Wikipedia are feuding 2 days ago:
Instead of whining like a 5 year old, why doesn’t he use his obsene wealth to pay an army of Chinese internet trolls to rewrite Wikipedia to his liking? I bet Wikipedia and the regular contributors wouldn’t even have the resources to withstand the assault and correct the untruths faster than they are created.

- Comment on Mitch McConnell, Opposing MAGA, No Longer Holds Power to ‘Bully’ Senate Republicans 6 days ago:
Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) influence over the Senate Republicans appears dead.
I don’t mean to be rude, but Mitch McConnell himself appears dead.
- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 6 days ago:
You think you’re in the clear and you’re cool with Trump and all. But there’s one thing I know: the minute he wrongs you - be it your tax return check not being mailed because the IRS is in shambles, or the water at your tap tasting like shit because the EPA is in shambles and someone started fracking in your area, or ICE invading your property because someone told them you’re harboring illegal migrants… you’ll become the most ardent Trump hater.
It’s always the same with evangelists: all it takes is one little thing and they flip so hard they become rabid haters what they used to believe.

You’re in trouble like the rest of us. You just don’t know it yet. - Comment on Indian Prime Minister Modi takes page from Trump, says 'make India great again,' or 'MIGA' 6 days ago:
Modi shouldn’t speak too loudly though, else the British might interpret MIGA as “They want the Raj back”.

- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says 1 week ago:
When then announced they’d be selling content for AI training, I went back to my old abandoned Reddit accounts and slightly altered all of my previous posts with actual content to be factually incorrect and misleading in subtle ways. It took me two months to rewrite everything, a few old posts at a time per day.
Now whatever technical or historical stuff I posted on Reddit is wrong and AI is training on that.

Aren’t you glad you did the work and gave Reddit the content it monetizes for free?
- Comment on Fun Fact 1 week ago:
I’ll tell you what makes me feel old:
When I was a kid in the 70s, everybody was talking about the year 2000, and I kept thinking “That like in 25 years, it’s like a quarter century. It’s like in forever!”
2000 was 25 years ago, and it felt like it half a century went by in the blink of an eye.

- Comment on Google spikes its explicit 'no AI for weapons' policy 2 weeks ago:
It just brings their BS policy in line with reality. Don’t think for a second that they remove their statement to feel free to use AI for military purposes: they’re already doing that now.
- Comment on China threatens to retaliate against Trump tariffs 2 weeks ago:
“Fentanyl is America’s problem.”
In fairness, Trump’s tariffs are America’s problem too: it’s the American consumer who will foot the bill, not China.

- Comment on ATF accused of 'circumventing' Trump order to place DEI staff on paid leave 4 weeks ago:
The ATF? Really??
That’s it. Now I know for sure I’ve drifted into a weird parallel universe.
- Comment on Trump's ICE racks up hundreds of arrests, including illegal immigrants arrested for horror crimes 4 weeks ago:
Oh I see! It’s a problem of semantics.
Well now, I’m sure the people held in miserable conditions in those not-concentration-camps will be happy to know they’re not being held in concentration camps…
Also, people are innocent until proven guilty. Your “criminals” held in not-concentration-camps are not criminals until they get their day in court. Siince Trump promised millions of deportation, assuming due process is followed, they’ll wait in limbo in not-concentration-camps for a mighty long time. And if due process is not followed, which is more likely, they’ll eventually be expelled from the US without having been convicted of anything.
