I can see where the old "enchanted sword will consume the souls of all who touch it" trope come from.

Support for the re-election of Orban’s corrupt, racist and pro-Russian govt in Hungary reveals the true fault lines of our new geopolitics. Putin, Trump and Netanyahu on one side- anti-liberal democracy- and UK, EU and Canada on the other, supporting it. Most likely to be the shape of our next era.

My latest on Russia assisting Iran in targeting U.S. troops and interests. And a reminder on how Russia did this before in Afghanistan, when they offered bounties to Taliban militants to kill Americans.

I have different opinions. I review LLM-generated code far more often than I like. It's the worst part of my job, and probably my career. I really want to see a John Henry-style humans vs AI code-off. With a 6-month follow-up to see how that genAI code is doing.

Dear @bsky.app, How does one submit a bug report against the Bluesky Moderation Service? It seems to have hallucinated an "antifa organization", and if that's the expected quality of "moderation services", then it is indeed time to find a new Atmosphere platform.

It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

There needs to be a general strike. Do whatever you have to do but do so with the knowledge that no matter how you slice it if you participate in the American economy you are powering the gears of global terrorism.

The Epstein Drop: 1. Insider bets big on a long prediction. 2. Drops a few credible anon tips to stoke the market. 3. Loud RW pundits drive outrage campaign, odds get longer. 4. When odds peak, insider drops unredacted evidence confirming prediction. Repeat for every name in the Epstein files.

Sent to your office, @cantwell.senate.gov : Why do you continue to affirm unqualified, compromised people to positions of power, under an illegal, corrupt and violent want-to-be dictator, with full knowledge it will lead to further suffering and death? Response requested.

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

Serious answer, @prisonculture.bsky.social: - States' attorneys - Supported by state police - To upheld sworn oaths - To protect the constitutional rights of their residents When each state joined the Union, it enacted a state constitution. I expect my state to protect those rights.

Rebekah Caruthers: “Our concern is that there is more friction and more barriers being injected into our system in terms of registering to vote and accessing the ballot. That creates more barriers, and as people run into them it decreases the likelihood of them actually voting.”

While waiting for my #Xbox to reboot (Remnant #NMS hard-reboots my Series X, don't play on an important save), I ponder a universe that has FTL, teleportation and hand-held gravity manipulation, but has not yet invented the flat-bed tonneau cover.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks.    If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.   And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

Dear @governorferguson.bsky.social, What's your plan? Why would you dine with a convicted felon, rapist and the main character in the Epstein files? Sincerely, Concerned citizens.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

We've reached a place where people are ready to call these folks the liars, hypocrites, and bigots that they are. But that's not gonna stop them. They won't remove themselves. They have to be removed.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

it is the same playbook everywhere. “vote for us! we will make you great again by punishing the people you hate! do not pay attention to the fact that we’re also shoveling your money into the pockets of the uber wealthy and building a giant boot to step on your face too (preferably forever)”

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Remembering how cops tossed Kyle Rittenhouse - who was open carrying a semiautomatic rifle - a bottle of water and told him, “We appreciate you… we really do”

I have been watching live streams from MSP all morning. Watching ICE murder and terrorize a community. I am sickened, and horrified, and enraged. I am watching the people of Minnesota come together, with courage and solidarity to oppose the tyranny. However sick my heart, it knows ICE will loose.

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @jayapal.house.gov @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social @governorferguson.bsky.social Your duty is clear. Abolish ICE. With every word. With every legal action. With every breath. Abolish ICE.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

That's because one side IS at war.

Federal agents take a photo of a legal observer in Maine who is videotaping them and say they are adding them to a database for “domestic terrorists” This is exactly what happens in Russia

In summary: - National secret police can shoot you in the face and lie about it later. - Local police will protect that power. - Local political leaders will protect that power. - National political leaders will protect that power. Only we can protect our rights. Today is the call.

Been thinking about this more today, and I think it's a seed for how i would like to describe my politics moving forward. I am opposed to the status quo because it requires people to be awful to succeed. I want to build a world where success demands being a full, kind, creative human.

Neither snow nor rain nor ICE nor mad kings stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds, and FUCK ICE.

A perfect answer for "What actually effects the bottom line?"

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model. ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.
