So I wrote about the Grok becoming "MechaHitler" thing and how it shows the risks of centralization being prone to fascist abuse in a very, um, graphic way. RE:

Look who's back! (I think this is the 3rd or 4th email he's sent, all without giving an actual return email for me to reply). Every time, he uses the same "GLFB" construction... RE:

We republished this episode on our feed just today, and I just listened to it... and, yes, it's me praising myself, but I think it's a pretty good discussion of why Bluesky and decentralization matter, and why I think decentralized systems will win out in the end.

Ah. I see John may have deleted the Daily Stormer Nazi shit he posted yesterday, in which he "linked" Anthony Blinken to Jeffrey Epstein with red strings on a corkboard by pointing out that they and some colleagues were Jewish... but he's doubling down. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreifofihbzkzrnkxrfl4mymkuygct64grufmqo5zlw7y6w2j5slrlfy

Holy hell
Opened nostr for the first time in a while, and saw I had some DMs... including this one from a fake David Sacks. The account (only opened a few weeks ago) appears to autorepost all of Sacks' actual posts from Twitter. I've never interacted with Sacks in my life. It's obviously some sort of scam. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreia2vwrq7wnczltndbdy7ofubum7b4vbytowrmygc5wwb5l46jy5mq

Turns out NYers seem to like Mamdani. No wonder half the Democratic Party wants to stop him from winning. Can't have a candidate people actually like. That would be a disaster because MAGA types might make fun of them, and that would be heartbreaking RE:
