i do this! i have a RAG which i throw everything i write into. "what if you could keep every idea you ever had and you never had to organize it" is a perfectly good idea.

The CEO of the abortion clinic I used to work for died of cancer super young and every Right to Life clown in a tri-state radius came to protest her funeral. I love how these dipshits just think we're gonna forget the way they've always acted.

the thing i'm worried about is whether AI will decimate the "flow states" of knowledge work. i realize this is very selfish. i enjoy being in a flow state. i don't want to constantly be babysitting an unlearning intern who repeatedly violates instructions. even if they eventually produce good work

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

periodically I see the president doing things like “post crimes for his attorney general to do that were maybe supposed to be an unencrypted DM on his own personal social network” and I remember that he got elected in large part because of information security practices and I black out in rage

Never forget that in McCarthy’s insane communist witch hunt he decided to go for that noted pinko George Marshall. You know, the guy who built the AEF campaigns in WWI, built the Army for WWII, oversaw the war, served as secretaries of both defence and state, rehabilitated Europe and Japan…

STEPHEN MILLER: you have no idea what you have awakened. we will save the West. we will turn darkness into light. we will rise like a phoenix from the pit of fire and EVERYONE ELSE AT THE DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS GAME TABLE: ROLL THE FUCKING DIE ALREADY

someone on here said "years of lead paint" and I can't think of a better caption than that

*mournfully shooting off a tshirt cannon into the sadly cheering funeral crowd*

Meanwhile we're now being subjected to a live play by play of a funeral for someone 89% of the country never heard of. It's nuts.

There are bots that do this. Seriously, just AI chatbots that are given access to an account and just disagree with posts at random just to stir up trouble. There's a Hank Green video about this but I was pretty sure about it before I saw the video

Bookmark it if you need to. Or get a tattoo.

Listen, sometimes when your job requires you to be immersed in Everything That's Happening All the Time, you just have to draw a line for your sanity, and my line is that I simply refuse to learn why people are talking about the rapture

Trump at Charlie Kirk's memorial service: "He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I HATE my opponents."

Nice post you got there, it'd be a shame if I deliberately missed your point so I could be tedious about it

...once again, one of the easier ways to turn up the virality on your post is to go from "[popular thing] is true" to "no one wants to admit it but [popular thing] is true"

This is exactly backwards. From the beginning, Kirk was the beneficiary of a large and highly organized network of dark money donors who were looking for a spokesman. No way he would have done what he did without patrons like Montgomery and Uihlein. Kirk didn't make money - money made Kirk.

We really can’t understate the psychic toll of knowing that the United States government is trying to kill as many people as possible

Today is perhaps a good day to remind people that Jimmy Carter personally and publicly pled with Obama to recognize to the State of Palestine before his second term ended and Obama just ignored him lol

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

it really is annoying when your posts hit the discover feed or if you’re posting about something that has some astroturfing going on. by and large, I don’t think it’s a bluesky problem (rather a social media problem) but it still sucks.

Holy shit. The administration might be evacuating the ICE facility we've been protesting for weeks. If this ends up happening, it's a huge deal. Protests matter. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-ev...

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

Ethnic pogroms and daylight terror, torture and death in camps, save your lectures on the strength of this regime until we find the +50,000 humans, thus far, who have been disappeared under the colors of our flag. Reparations and justice will be the proof of their weakness, nothing less.

TFW you show up to a work retreat with 0 spoons and have to human at high RPMs

every time we talk about parental permission in terms of book banning I'm like fuck man. kids have rights too. a 17-year-old should be able to check out books at the library without Mom and Dad stepping in. so should a 10-year-old or 7 or whatever. kids deserve SOME goddamn freedom and privacy

Hot take, this is a bad thing

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Besides the effects on the tech industry, right now there are H-1B holders—people—who built a life in the US. If they are traveling, they have 17 hours to get back to the US, or the life they built will be shattered and taken from them. Can you imagine constantly living with this uncertainty?

The idea that if you make Dems a little more Republican, Republicans will vote Dem is what’s breaking us. And it doesn’t even work!

I cannot overstate how remarkable it is that under GOP rule, US federal health regulations have been captured by fringe crackpots who espouse views that the vast majority of the US public—and nearly 100% of health professionals—reject. Gift link:

Woohoo! Moving did:plc to an independent org and then decentralizing it fixes the strongest technical criticism of atproto. Would love to see did:plc quickly be decentralized to the degree that DNS root servers are. Mirrors w/library support for using the mirrors, even if readonly. Then make a v2!

Oh, for fuck's. THIS IS NOT DIFFICULT. DO NOT PUT YOUR NAME ON A LIST IF YOU ARE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO THE GOVERNMENT WANTS LISTS OF. PUT YOUR NAME ON ALL THE LISTS IF YOU ARE THE KIND OF PERSON THEY DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO PROSECUTE EN MASSE. FLOOD THE ZONE.

i've invented another way out other than through. i call it "under"

This politician is remaining silent on Bluesky about this but he just posted a video explaining how he's banning the Irish band Kneecap from entering Canada. If you're an IDF soldier and you've killed a Palestinian child you can vacation in the country but if you say genocide is bad you can't.

It’s darkly comic to see a candidate for US Congress getting slammed to the ground on camera while a bunch of people are sitting around trying to assess how “protected” from policing someone is for being online and working in corporate law.

After months of smearing this guy as a possible terrorist or terrorist supporter who they needed to eject as soon as possible back to Egypt, the trump administration today filed a motion in court basically going, eh nvm Glorious taxpayer funded use of time www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
