Imagine a country calling itself a democracy but it’s Election Day isn’t a federal holiday

About 304 million years ago, Earth’s average surface temperature climbed by 45.5 degrees Fahrenheit while carbon dioxide levels doubled. Research published in August 2026 traces this prehistoric warming to a combination of volcanoes, orbital shifts, and thawing permafrost. The findings show how greenhouse gases from frozen ground can take over and drive temperatures higher once an initial warming begins

That guy? That’s me,
Chris Deluzio, in Iraq.

And if you had stopped me on the streets of Iraq on that day and said,

"Hey, Chris ... in a few years the president is going to say you should be arrested and hanged," I'd have said you were nuts.

But knowing Donald Trump, I don't think it's so nuts anymore.
It's kind of par for the course.

This is a president who has repeatedly abused his power to go after political opponents. That was just my turn.

A number of months have passed since that video was posted and the president responded.
Things have cooled down some from the bomb and death threats that came immediately after.

The one thing that hasn't changed is that
I am a political target of the president and the MAGA-right.

And as the last Democrat in Pennsylvania who represents a battleground seat
that makes them think I’m vulnerable
– and I’m sure they would love to use their billionaire donors to defeat us.

So I am coming to you with an ask.
It's a pretty important ask

Can you please chip in $10
– or whatever you can afford
– directly to my campaign for Congress in Pennsylvania?

Thank you,

Thought for the Day: A big advantage to old software is that it doesn't usually have the latest bugs.

Finally, everyone is realizing what a huge liability dependence on Starlink is.

A bipartisan Ukraine Caucus in the US Congress raised concerns over Starlink restrictions and a possible halt to intelligence sharing with Ukraine, warning this could leave civilians, including US citizens in Ukraine, more vulnerable to Russian attacks. #Ukraine

been screaming this for months now

When I read that Anthropic source repository post with the "every bottleneck we remove immediately leads to a further increase in the amount of code we produce" quote, I just think back to Ken Thompson's famous quote:

"One of my most productive days was throwing away 1,000 lines of code."

"More code" is not a metric of success.

It's already been said many times that the U.S., under President Donald Trump, was turning its back on #Ukraine.

But the past few days show something worse than abandonment: Trump is now actively helping russia win the war.

"Democrats have reason to be optimistic, but headaches could be waiting if they win the midterms"

Thanks, CNN. You might want to mention that the total destruction of American democracy could be waiting if they lose.

Anyone surprised by this? Every AI and tech company wakes up each day asking the same question. How can we build an even bigger surveillance network, squeeze more profit out of it and turn George Orwell’s 1984 into reality? At this point, they are not predicting the dystopian future. They’re building it and charging its users for it. Truly evil stuff.
