A fun thing about LinkedIn right now is that people who have the words “AI researcher” in their profile are cautioning against the technology while people with the words “AI content creator” are super excited about it

Not content to just steal from the real deal, this game is also ripping off fan designs 😬

This raises the obvious question of what kind of thing the Trump admin might need the National Transportation Safety Board to do that a conscientious Board member would reject.

NTSB is the last exemplar of independent professionalism in federal government, because we used to think stopping plane crashes was a goal beyond partisanship

Grammarly's new AI tools necromance famous dead authors, and "humanize" copy to make it sound less robotic. But it also failed to detect obvious plagiarism when @milesklee.bsky.social tried it: www.wired.com/story/gramma...

NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia — and say they’ll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

We seem to have collectively decided, gradually and mostly out of apathy, that presidents can launch flagrantly unconstitutional wars of choice without congressional approval and there just won’t be any consequences. Would be nice if this is where we start reversing the trend.

Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

As I get ready for GDC in just over a week, this weighs heavy. It’s such a dismal time for developers in an industry that continues to make more and more money. We just want the chance to make games and provide for our families. variety.com/2026/gaming/...

"Whose career imploded during MeToo" is a weird fucking way to say "who was credibly accused of sexual assault, as well as physical and emotional abuse of women" "Max Landis, who was credibly accused of rape by multiple women" would have worked.

When you were a kid, did you ever meet another kid who was clearly out of their mind, and incredibly troubled and destructive, who made you really uncomfortable to be around, and you just hoped that they would grow up to… Not be like that? And then they grew up to be even worse?

FYI: The ACLU has already filed suit. I've been reading the filing & will be putting out an informational thread for non-lawyers later today. (The ACLU & local support orgs still need your $.) In the meantime folks should know the ACLU and their co-counsel are pursuing an immediate injunction:

A reminder that Girl Scouting of America has welcomed trans and nonbinary girls from the first one that asked, has always had lesbian and bi members and adults, never declared bankruptcy to avoid paying for sexual assaults, and never poached the other side to recover from said bankruptcy.

Trump: "This is the Golden Age of America."

This is my take as well. There is no principled school of interpretation that decides the birthright case as anything other than yes, we have full birthright citizenship in this country. Also, I am not 100% certain that this will happen and cannot declare that we are just waiting for the result.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

It is extremely NOT necessary for us to use authoritarian tactics to get rid of ICE. The only thing we need is democratic ones, which is why I need Democrats to actually commit to abolishing ICE.

Macho Bullshit That was the definition I reached in early 2000 reading about fascist regimes for a decade It is unfailingly accurate

She's got a foundation and she's raising money "to provide free legal assistance to those in detention" in Minnesota. lookingoutfoundation.donorsupport.co/page/immandref

I wI wrote to the court in the Anthropic settlement and said, "if the attorneys get a percentage of the settlement, it should be a % of the settlement recovered, not the settlement negotiated, because Anthropic's final payment is in late 2027 and they might not be solvent then."

there is one striking parallel, though. note the phrase "we must do something useful with AI" -- like NFTs, LLMs are a solution looking for a problem. real progress identifies a need and then meets it, not the other way around. bsky.app/profile/sexa...

"I want to run a writing contest, but I can't fund it without charging entry fees." *Ahem* The desire to run a contest for writers should stem from an earnest, genuine desire to use *your* resources to introduce the world to new artists. Not a desire to use *artist* resources to pay your rent.

Horrible in general, but good for Talarico in particular. Why are they so scared of a youth pastor who says the minority America needs to worry about is the richest 1%?

FBI’s Fulton County affidavit confirmed what we’ve long suspected: seizure of ballots based on discredited/recycled falsehoods about 2020 election pushed by election deniers & designed to sow mistrust in election system so that Trump can interfere in midterms www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The actual non-sarcastic answer to this is that a uniform signature via autopen would devalue the signature for collectors and fans (not always the same people). People want assurance it was the human who made the effort, not an authorized machine. Also an autopen costs $10k. It's cheaper to sign.

1/ UPDATE: The affidavit underlying the FBI raid to seize 2020 election materials in GA has been unsealed. It cited allegations conservative researcher Kevin Moncla told @ProPublica he had briefed investigators on. Witness names are redacted. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I do want to remind folks today that I would guess at least half of the horrors people are posting about in the SAVE Act? Already law in the much of south. They know it works because they did it to Black communities & everyone shrugged and made jokes about how we voted for every natural disaster.

3/ ProPublica was part of a news coalition that sued to unseal the affidavit. Read our full coverage of how a discredited conservative researcher’s work may have fueled the FBI’s raid in GA: www.propublica.org/article/kevi...

Fuck this so much. The Armenian Genocide was one of the immediate precursors to the holocaust, so of course this Nazi-loving regime couldn't abide by acknowledging it.

And another thing. This shouldn't even be Discord's fight. There's a tidal wave of MDLs coming their way. We shouldn't have gotten here in the first place. Where were Google and Meta and Apple?? Oh right, enjoying a separate billionaire space race to the best AI face scanning machine.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.** He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

I'm grateful that Kyle surfaced all these extraordinary opinions slamming the Trump administration for the illegal detention of immigrants. This one leaps out in part because the judge is warning us that abuses being inflicted on immigrants now are a preview of what could be unleashed on citizens.

As a reminder, because McIver had the temerity to attempt oversight of ICE in her own district, the regime is actively prosecuting her and threatening her with a long prison sentence. But she's not backing down.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship. Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.

Calling the police to say "thank God you're arresting that guy, everyone knows he's a sex trafficker" makes you a villain in the story, flat out. It means that despite knowing someone was a sex trafficker, you said nothing until you learned he was already going down for the crime

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott blames "paid agitators" for difficulties faced by the federal government in enforcing immigration laws in Minnesota.

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.
