Evangelicals sold their souls for Trump, trading the teachings of Jesus for a grifter’s gospel. Franklin Graham’s praise of Trump as God’s chosen instrument exposes the moral rot at the core of their movement. Pardoning insurrectionists and wrapping it in divine purpose isn’t faith—it’s idolatry. They’ve hitched their wagon to corruption and called it salvation.

Remember when Elon cracked open the DMs of the former head of trust and safety at Twitter and leaked those DMs to Bari Weiss so she could write a hot piece and the person had to hide for their own safety? I think about that a lot every time someone says, “Be careful with Mastodon DMs! They aren’t end-to-end encrypted, so admins can read your private messages.”
That was never a concern unique to the fedi, my Facebook Messenger shit isn’t e2e encrypted, either.

Hot take: “Everything was always terrible and you’re naive” is the laziest form of social commentary. It adds nothing, solves nothing, and just serves to make the commenter feel smugly superior. Performative cynicism.

In a small house where shadows dwell,
Lived a black cat named Oscar, who cast a sweet spell.
With fur like velvet, and eyes bright as the moon,
He’d prance through the house, humming a soft tune.Oscar was playful, with leaps so spry,
And curled in my lap, a warm little ball,
He'd purr sweet melodies.One quiet morning, beneath the dawn's glow,
Oscar lay peacefully, ready to go.
I held him gently and whispered goodbye.

What song do you have on repeat right now? For me, I can’t stop listening to Letting Go by Angie McMahon because I’m a sad boy who likes sad music. If you like this song, here’s a playlist I made.
If I get enough replies I’ll make a playlist of them all. https://music.apple.com/us/album/letting-go/1693351152?i=1693351848

How Chinese AI Startup DeepSeek Made a Model that Rivals OpenAI | WIRED:
"DeepSeek’s latest model is so efficient that it required one-tenth the computing power of Meta’s comparable Llama 3.1 model to train, according to the research institution Epoch AI."
So then why is Meta spending $80 billion in GPUs and data centers for 2025? Could it be that AI is a fucking scam? https://www.wired.com/story/deepseek-china-model-ai/
