Once surveillance data is shared, there’s really no way to control how it is circulated. The Verona Police Department forbade ICE from accessing their Flock cameras. But logs show officers from other police departments searched Verona’s cameras thousands of times on behalf of ICE agents.

“So there's a psychological paradox when it comes to the pursuit of happiness—the more you seek it out, the worse you feel. I do worry that happiness trackers like these can exacerbate this tendency.”

Apparently you only have to make the first bear, and then it makes the next bear, and then the number of bears you have grows exponentially. I see nothing that can go wrong here.

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Someone should let Iran know.

What might it mean if the language of "for we were sojourners in Egypt" predates, historically, the language of "for we were enslaved in Egypt? What might that tell us about the evolution of sacred myth ? About how we face crisis? What happens as our needs change and grow?? Come and learn:

a lot of the american psychosis i think comes from the fact that the vast majority of us are kept in precarious work, one emergency away from losing everything, while being hit with the constant message that we are the elect, we are the most free, the most worthy. it makes you feel insane.

The administration is pivoting from Iran to doing everything possible to ensure the Epstein stuff drags on forever

Congrats to everyone who, 12 hours ago, thought this ceasefire was credible

Long-wavelength radio astronomy is some of the only science that would get a major benefit from being on the lunar far side. The Moon blocks radio noise from the Earth & presents the possibility of ground-based astronomy with no atmospheric interference. (Of course there are many other challenges!)

BREAKING: The ProPublica union is on strike today. The unionized staff at the non-profit outlet has walked out after two years of stalled negotiations. The workers core demands are AI protections, just cause employment provisions, layoff safeguards, and pay increases.

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

IDF bombing Lebanon today harder than before the ceasefire.

The proper reaction to external pressure is to redouble our efforts at decarbonization because it enables more strategic independence from crazy authoritarian regimes. Democracy is a must. Nobody wins a deregulation race to the bottom. bsky.app/profile/aarn...

welp unfortunately it looks like the world actually is a complicated place that requires us to put smart people in charge, hate to say it but sometimes shit matters and its not all a troll

Always anxiety when meeting a new medical practitioner. The risk of presenting as too knowledgeable, or drug-seeking, or complex, or mentally unstable... all which can be used to deny care. Even deciding what to wear, how together to look, feels vital. Especially this time.

America should be labeled a pariah state for what it pulled yesterday and I'm not joking. Like I'm talking trade sanctions. Tourist Entry denials. This is a rogue nation with no regard for international stability or human life.

I've been saying for a long time that AI tools promote shortcuts and by doing so skip the learning experience which involves persistence (like the article linked here suggests), but also making mistakes and learning how to solve a problem in a way that makes sense to you -> arxiv.org/pdf/2604.04721

One of dozens of videos coming out of Beirut. There are people under the rubble. Israel is committing multiple massacres

I keep coming back to this.

Israeli government ministers announced this morning that the ceasefire with Iran does not include Lebanon, while the Israeli army announced that its operations in Lebanon are continuing.

You must learn to hate the aristocracy as much as it hates you. It changes shape, tosses aside old husks like "divine right of kings" and "bloodlines" and slides right into slick new shells like "meritocracy".

“…for Kindle ereaders and Fire tables released in 2012 or earlier. You can still read books you’ve already downloaded on those devices, but you’ll no longer be able to purchase, borrow or download new ones, starting on May 20, 2026.”

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

If you want revenge, then dig two graves. the first one is a practice grave to get a feel for it and the second is your main or "show grave"

I don’t think we’re embarassing businesses enough… like they did this for stock value over sustainability They chose forever war over diverse commercials It’s actually that petty

These are table stakes. Any Democrat not willing to say this does not deserve your vote, your money, your time.

🔏 "In less than a decade, Donovan had done something remarkable. With hard-fought evidence gathered from inside American classrooms, he had mobilized a coalition of high school science teachers, education researchers, and geneticists to accept that prejudice might be a solvable problem."

The "duped voter" narrative is a comforting myth. If only we had better messaging. The reality is tens of millions of voters looked at a platform of mass deportation, ethnic cleansing, state violence, and the dismantling of civil rights, clearly understood it, and said, "Yes, that is what I want."

“Health economists warned that this AI coding arms race — fueled by AI scribes and autonomous coding tools maximizing codes on one side, and by insurer algorithms trying to minimize payments on the other — is a zero-sum game that could really hurt some of the most vulnerable providers.”

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

What if breaking Bad but Amway

people will scold you for joking around when things seem really scary and fucked up. brother, those are the times what we invented joking around for

“Graphite uses what is known as ‘zero click’ technology so that it can gain access to encrypted messages on a targeted device even if the user never clicks on a link.”

On season 6 of my deep space 9 watch Luke Sisko: the cybermen are gaining on us! Han Sulu: we gotta go to hyperspace, punch it worfy! Worf: Worf! worf!

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

Actions lawmakers can propose, roughly from most to least powerful *Impeachment *Pass law/override veto *Withhold/give $ *War powers resolution *Block nominees *Subpoenas *Strongly worded letter *Tweet of concern *Sandwich tweet that puts kernel of criticism btw slices of praise *Silence

Gen X collectively reliving Challenger, Columbia and Cold War nuclear holocaust anxiety all in the same week is a fucking lot, y'all.

For my birthday today, I would like there to be no war crimes or nuclear war. Also impeachment, please.

"Schumer takes no action" will be on his tombstone

I wasn't alive in the US in 1860. I'm alive today and I see the foul shit the government is doing TODAY. I can speak to that from experience. Doesn't mean that I am negating the foul shit from 1860.

You can write a nice longer resolution with articles of impeachment laying out the case in detail; I've done it before and seen it introduced. But it is not a procedural necessity. The House can vote on a literally one-sentence impeachment resolution if it wants, that's perfectly valid.

I have a father and mother in law in Iran. I have a sister in law. A niece. She's 14. She likes silly pink headbands and purses and dresses, just like kids her age all over the world. There are 93 million people like her in Iran. People who do all the normal mundane life things as the rest of us.

By my count, there are now over 50 House Democrats, along with two Senate Democrats, who have called for Trump to be impeached or removed via the 25th Amendment for his post on Iran. More here: www.axios.com/2026/04/07/t...

The threat itself is an impeachable offense. Don’t let it slide.

Modern bombs are eldritch enough, don't need to sensationalize with nukes.
