I enjoy long walks through nuance and strong opinions politely debated. I like people who argue to understand, not just to win. Bring your curiosity and I’ll bring mine.

  • Vaccine skeptic hired to conduct government study on whether vaccines cause autism

  • Forget the serious debate videos—his supporters aren't watching those, and even if they did, they wouldn't care. You want to make a dent? You go after the ego.

    Picture this: an endless stream of totally "realistic" phone-recorded AI videos of Trump playing golf. He lines up the putt—misses. Tries again—air ball. It's literally an inch away now—misses again. Doesn’t blink, just traps it in, smirks, walks off like he nailed it. Over and over.

    The key is subtlety. These can’t look staged or flashy—make them feel like someone’s nephew filmed it from the cart. Make it look like he's genuinely terrible but thinks he’s crushing it.

    Then blast them everywhere. Flood the algorithm. Turn his “I’m the best at golf” schtick into a punchline.

    This is how you use AI to actually take Trump down—with a thousand tiny ego papercuts.

  • 'We've all done this': Trump admin group chat scandal is its most relatable fail

  • !That’s why the Trump administration’s Signalgate blunder was all anyone could talk about on news shows and social media, in workplaces, even in schools, said New York University psychology professor Tessa West.

    Even West’s 11-year-old son came home from school Monday and confessed that he, too, had once added the wrong person to a group chat. “Mommy I did that, I did exactly what those Trump people did,” he told her.

    “For 11-year-old boys, this is the most relatable thing that the Trump administration has done, which just shows you just how ubiquitous this experience is from Slack channels to group chats,” West said. “We’ve all done this.”!<

    What a trash article. It reads like propaganda. This kind of reporting is frustrating. Framing a serious security breach—like the Trump administration's Signal group chat blunder—as relatable because “even an 11-year-old has done it” feels disingenuous at best. Using a child’s anecdote to soften the impact of a significant government mistake trivializes the issue and distracts from the consequences of the breach.

    We’re not talking about accidentally texting the wrong person in a school group chat. We’re talking about high-level officials mistakenly including someone in a discussion tied to sensitive military operations. That’s not “relatable”—that’s a failure in operational security, and it deserves scrutiny, not spin.
