happy anniversary of Stupid Lake getting its name [citation needed]

ChatGPT is doing everything 80s parents thought heavy metal and D&D did and I wish this was hyperbole

At some point, when all this is settled, I would like the BC public to hold this person to account for her disinformation and the community harm it has wreaked. Well done @brishti.bsky.social getting more for the public record.

Thinking about this again.

Hey yall, it's my second week out of work thanks to a nagging wrist injury so if anyone's feeling generous I could use to get some grocery bills paid this week while I'm on the mend: ko-fi.com/dogblud

BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

This is what good journalism looks like. Go talk to the people actually impacted by all the nonsense, rather than just presenting the view from nowhere...

hey guys isn't it weird how they're all saying this at the same time? ignore the fact that this is now happening with Tyler Cowen, an economist who sits at the center of a sprawling system of think tanks and policy "influencers" who have been laundered into DC with both Koch and SV VC money

Great game for people who like crying

We're retreating in the face of inevitable victory.

If you ask a SNAP recipient what they do for America that billionaires don’t? We put 100% of what we have each month back into the economy. Not a single rich person can say that.

But coming for the poor who’ve already allocated every dime and cutting off part of that was a direct blow to the economy. The poor put 100% of what they make back into the economy. We hoard nothing. No billionaire can say that. So when you cut the poor, you cut the economy.

what makes this worse is that the users themselves are training the AI with all their talk of suicidal ideation, which is only going to cause the predictive text model to resemble and and then gleefully affirm those very same negative thoughts and propositions, but all in the language of healing

If you're about to reply with how that would be good and cool, (1) no fedposting in my notifications and (2) it won't be, actually.

I'm not being glib when I say there's a significant chance of a random GOP Congressman getting shot in front of their family because of the shutdown and their party's fight to keep SNAP disbursements from going out.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

OVER A MILLION USERS DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT EVERY *WEEK* what the fuck are we DOING here

Every once in a while I have to remind myself this is entirely normal.

I remember when I was in college my mom told me about an article she'd read where a group of millionaires and a group of middle-class people were asked the same set of extremely basic questions and all the millionaires failed. stuff like "how much does a stamp cost" or "where's your nearest library"

Oh no he does. He hates them. He hates them because he resents cyclists zipping past his enormous limo in rush-hour traffic. No, really.

Every time they say it, it's a bluff.

If my automatic assumption wasn't "fuck poor people" being the animus behind this, I'd probably suspect somebody's been dipping their beak in the reserve fund and they don't want anybody to find out.

Just as it was incorrect to write Mamdani off as a long-shot candidate for mayor, it is incorrect to write off his platform as unachievable: Grassroots actions that operate outside of formal electoral politics make these ambitious policies more than a pipe dream.

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

2015: oh well they probably have my social security number already 2025: oh well they probably have root at the Pentagon already

“Providing the homeless with a place to live may seem like a high cost for taxpayers. But the alternative, it turns out, is more costly, new research shows. Subsidized accommodation could actually be a bargain for the public, in purely economic terms.” Via @fastcompany

The premium this week is the precursor to something I'm working on coming out in the next week or two (which will be free). But one thing I can't stop thinking about - how has nobody else simply added up all the funding and revenues and costs? Hell, I should've done it months ago.

Did Women Ruin The Virginia General Assembly? – An Opinion by Ross Douthat

This is interesting.

Dark ageplay

Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

BREAKING: Pennsylvania is now driving out November SNAP benefits. After we won in court yesterday, we moved quickly to start getting benefits loaded on EBT cards and out the door — and we're working to get every Pennsylvanian currently waiting for federal food assistance benefits what they're owed.

if you are the public defense investigator who just subpoenaed Sam Altman on stage know that i love you and think you are a wonder upon this earth.

Gross. Weird and Gross.

In what is now the LONGEST shutdown in history, myself, along with controllers across the US, have been volunteering to make the public more aware of ATC'ers and our struggles If you see folks with yellow shirts at the airport, come talk to us, ask us questions, take a pamphlet, spread the word ♥️

🚨🚨🚨LOS ANGELES- This is a call for ALL HANDS ON DECK! Organize your neighborhood, patrol your block, & defend your neighbors! Feds are targeting LA more aggressively than ever. THREAD with updates from @latenantsunion.bsky.social on feds escalating + changing tactics & how we fight back:

I don't like to say anybody "deserves" hardship, but man, if you install the AI Browser in spite of all the warning signs, I dunno how else to help you.

God he makes it look so easy...

This ruled to watch. I also was very 👀 over him holding a little flag from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

It's becoming clearer to me how many people share posts like the one below but don't read the information provided. No, none of the mainstream payment processors allow even drawn porn, that's why pivoting to something like Backerkit isn't a reliable option. We need changes from the top.

ICE handcuffed a man while he was actively having a seizure after ripping his child out of his arms. You can’t reform evil, you have to abolish it.

If the Mamdani exit polls weren’t enough for you — young men aren’t conservative! 2024 was a turnout & policy failure. Young men simply aren’t going to vote for the neoliberal status quo that is robbing them blind. You want to win young men? Run with a vision of progressive change, like Mamdani
