There are legitimate reasons to block people from your Twitter profile, but those who do it in response to losing a fair and honest debate, achieve nothing more than highlighting their willful ignorance to opposing ideas. Every block is a validation.

A short note for those who stumble upon @phibrowser while browser shopping, perhaps because @arcinternet decided to go radio silent in December 👇 Phi is NOT a vibe-coded piece of slop. Nor is it a one-person hobby project with no clear path to sustainability and an uncertain future. DRM playback (with Google's widevine module) is legitimately and natively supported. Try vibe-coding that. There are about 20 living souls behind the making of Phi. Phinomenon Inc. was founded in SF in 2025, following a $10M Series A raise. We're building for the long haul, and we're still hiring aggressively btw, check out our Jobs page if you fancy joining the madness. Code can be generated by agents, and we use the best ones out there. But taste cannot be prompted into existence. Neither can the thousand intricate little details, the thoughtful decisions, or the human craftsmanship that make a piece of software genuinely delightful to use. You can generate 1000 lines of code in seconds. Knowing which 10 lines shouldn't exist in the first place is another matter. Phinomenon is not interested in who you are, not what you browse, not what you search for at 2am in the morning, and certainly not the things you'd rather nobody knew about. That's your business, not ours. Our business is to build the best browser and AI tools we possibly can, and to earn your trust by making something worth using. We put this principle right at the top of our Privacy, and we mean every word of it. Privacy shouldn't be a premium feature, a marketing gimmick, or something you have to take our word for. Phi Browser is developed in the open. We take feedback seriously. We respond to GitHub issues with actual human beings typing on actual physical keyboards (an increasingly exotic concept in this industry). When something is broken, we try to fix it, and more often the fix makes it into the following week's release. No elaborate corporate theatre required. Phi browser is a living, breathing browser, built by people who give a 💩, and getting better with every release. We're not here to cash in on a trend, ship a shiny wrapper, and quietly disappear when the next shiny thing comes along. We're here to build something that lasts. (for receipt, by the way, the last thing I built is @FydeOSHQ 11 years ago and it is still kicking) & we'd love for you to be part of it.

One of the men who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry last year was a Palestinian-American, Omar Yaghi. Racist POS.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Novel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Folks, Brazil is the perfect example of what I’ve said about this platform and Community Notes since Elon launched it. Tonight and all day tomorrow, your feed will fill with thousands of posts claiming the Brazil election was stolen because Lula’s buddy on the Supreme Court extended voting by 2 hours. That claim, we already know, is absolute bullshit. Both campaigns asked for the extension, Flávio Bolsonaro’s included, after bus shortages and bad weather hit voters in several cities. xitter.cf/tommysantos14/status/2… Almost every one of those posts will run note-free. The few that get a Community Note will get it after the damage is done. MAGA propaganda spreads like wildfire here for one reason: Elon Musk designed it that way. Community Notes has always been a red herring. Give it a few hours. Musk will repost one of his favorite stooges with a one-word “Concerning,” and that lie will land in front of his 241 million followers. And Community Notes will never catch up. So when I call Elon Musk Trump’s Joseph Goebbels, I mean every word.
Both Brazil candidates requested voting extensions. MAGA, once again, is lying about a "rigged" election. cartacapital.com.br/politica… "The campaigns of Lula (PT) and Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) requested this Sunday, October 25th, that the Superior Electoral Court extend the voting hours for the second round until 7 PM in localities affected by problems that hindered voters' access to the polls. The requests have different justifications." "While the PT campaign points to failures in public transportation, the Bolsonaro campaign mainly cites rain, flooding, road closures, and changes to polling locations." "Flávio's campaign is requesting two additional hours of voting in 17 municipalities in São Paulo, Paraná, and Santa Catarina. The team is also requesting that the announcement of the presidential results only begin after the polls have closed in the areas covered by the extension."

Another defeated politician crying about corruption and seeking to overturn democracy when it doesn't go there way. Trump has normalised this bullshit amongst a certain political wing. It needs to be called out, shamed and punished.
🇧🇷 Flávio Bolsonaro refuses to recognize Lula’s presidential election victory and announces plans to seek the annulment of the results. “It’s impossible to recognize the election results under these circumstances. We will seek to annul these elections,” Bolsonaro declared, accusing authorities of changing the rules during voting

Andy is so much better at politics than Starmer. Flood the zone with micro policies, which address popular annoyances and seek to reunite the left rather than chase lost Reform voters. A far more pragmatic and achievable approach. 1/2

It will be curious to see if this bounce in support can survive the budget. Unpopular decisions will have to be taken to right the ship. Can he sell them to his new coalition, without ceding support back to the Green Party. 2/2

This has gone viral in France. The wonderful black woman is a credit to France. The smug, haute-bourgeois blonde an embarrassment.
“Your shops that got looted were nice, okay, but we’re starving.” People looked this girl up and her dad is a corporate executive who worked for Shell. What a smug psychopath.

In other news, man who's never heard of vegetables secures head chef spot. Honestly, this is absolutely embarrassing for the BBC.

UK crime was four times higher when Oasis first played Knebworth than at last year’s reunion gigs. The collapse of crime and safer streets is one of the biggest stories of our time. But one almost never told - or believed. My take on today’s figures: comment.press/lawless

Even by the standards of the Trump administration, this is staggering.
Witkoff to Putin: “You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian -- you are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that.”

This means that the increased price of RAM and consumer electronics was a result of an artificial "supply chain crisis" created by Jensen Huang pushing NVIDIA's customers to take early delivery of GPUs. Jensen Huang is responsible for making life worse for everyone.
NVIDIA appears to be channel stuffing, forcing Amazon and other customers to take early delivery of GPUs. It's hard to take the argument that these things are "scarce" when you don't even have anywhere to plug them into...unless NVIDIA is saying you NEED to take them now.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for. Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China. We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

He says the name just fine when he’s begging the Qataris for a personal jet or the Saudis for funding for his son-in-law’s private equity firm. Wonder what’s changed?
Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."
