Years of criminal justice reform have left Oklahoma, as well as the profit-driven private prison industry, hungry to fill empty bed spaces. Incarcerating and exploiting immigrants for ICE has proven to be an opportunistic and lucrative alternative.

Some personal news, as they say: I’m so stoked for the rest of the Fired Four getting this deal. Conde is giving them nearly two years of backpay. They offered me 4 months. In the absence of a serious offer, I’m looking forward to my day in court. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Longest, loudest booing in U.S. history? I’m counting on you, Knicks fans.

A temporary restraining order has halted work on a data center for Google in Pine Island, about 18 miles north of Rochester, Minnesota. www.startribune.com/minnesota-da...

Ohio gave Meta, Google, and Amazon a sales tax break for data centers. It was supposed to cost $136 million in 2025. It cost $1.6 billion. Gov. DeWine vetoed the legislature's attempt to end it, insisting the tax exemption is needed to lure data center developers. signalohio.org/ohio-data-ce...

Holy shit this cartoon.

This series is SO STUPID and working on it with @aliassamm.bsky.social has been one of my greatest fandom joys - @kninjaknitter.bsky.social has brought it to life in the most delightful way 💜

From 6/11-7-19, NYers can celebrate the World Cup for $26 at restaurants across all 5 boroughs. From Little Senegal to Little Odessa, our city’s diversity is our greatest strength. Now it’s on the menu. Be part of the excitement, support small businesses, and eat up all this city has to offer.

Can’t believe that Andy Kim is in two of the most haunting pictures of the last few years.

I made some palettes of the bird robe fabric if anyone wants to use them! I included the hexadecimal codes too, hopefully that’ll make it easier to plug into drawing or stitch programs! I’ll comment with the plain text of the hexadecimal codes so you can just copy them too!

Since Google is going all in on AI, I finally tried out Duck Duck Go. Breath of fresh air. You can completely hide ads from results, as well as remove ALL AI features and even hide AI from image searches. If you haven't tried it yet, it's a great time.

I guess if you ask Google a leading question or use a leading statement it will just find some random sources in order to kiss your arse in the AI summary.

This now applies to the internet. Actually visiting a website and browsing the pages instead of reading Google AI search results is the new going out for an envelope.

thank god we have kelly. this is such a perfectly phrased reminder of something i’ve been ruminating on a lot lately. this hit me like a lightning bolt. stop inviting people to surrender.

In fall of 1997, my freshman year of undergrad, I spent HOURS in the computer lab building my own web site, armed only with gumption and a rudimentary grasp of HTML. The longer you spent on the early Web, the more potential you started to see. It is the exact opposite for AI.

YUP. This is why ppl actually acknowledgeable in industries... publishing, gaming, biotech, etc... are literally ignored when they say "That's dumb. That makes no sense, and no one will buy that." re: startups. There is no intent to EVER get something to customers. That's some other guy's problem.

Using AI to create is not creation. It’s a robot vomiting up someone else’s work that it stole and ate.

this is so much fun

I’ve read 1000’s of OFMD fics over the past 4 years, and I have ~100 saved as favorites which I’ve decided on a whim to re-read & share with you all! (Whether you want to know or not) I think this very early one is the first fave I ever saved. Always and Forever archiveofourown.org/works/38343253

NY-13 is one of the bluest districts in the country, but its incumbent is a Cuomo-endorsing, AIPAC-funded, Corporate PAC fueled ICE apologist. Darializa is the real deal, and we've got a month to help her shake up the status quo in this primary - so please pitch in!

This is a really big deal! I am very proud of the Elias Law Group team who litigated this to an amazing victory. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In exchange for thousands of acres of property, data center developers promise jobs, infrastructure, and much-needed municipal revenue. Here’s the gag, though: The jobs are temporary, the infrastructure is useless, and the revenue is diminishing and offset by monster tax breaks.

Since we're all doing reintroductions, here is a list of all my #OFMD fanworks! Though I'm a few behind on the fic list, I still have the majority on there. Over 200 fics and a good few edits!

There are days when I miss being an editor. I loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

It’s not just that we will miss one of the most consistently funny, astutely perceptive and topically necessary shows on television, it’s that we will miss getting to spend a little time each night with one of the most genuine, authentic hosts ever to do it.

"But apolitical is a political choice, and by excising whatever fangs comedy has, Allen is producing a show that is in the best interest of those in power and his bottom line. Comics Unleashed is late night enshittified, which is exactly what CBS wants." www.avclub.com/comics-unlea...

Oh, no big deal, just hanging out with MY BUDDY PAUL. Holy cow, the Colbert wrap party was the most insane gathering of friends and heroes that I’ve ever experienced in my life. Much love to Stephen and his entire amazing crew, and wishing them the best in whatever their next adventure happens to be

Pope Leo XIV previews his encyclical by attacking Silicon Valley’s “unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity.”

One of my all-time favorite moments from Colbert’s show — this exchange with Dua Lipa on faith and grief.

Periodically I'll hit this stunning song by @shutupchxrlotte.bsky.social in my favourites list and be bowled over all over again by the fact that it's about OFMD. So fricking perfect, our crew is so full of talent 🥹 open.spotify.com/track/7ucSs2...

/23 Responsibility is not a zero-sum game. It can be held by several people without diminishing anyone’s share. The administration set the tone here and gave the marching orders. It also started sending inexperienced dipshits to do grown-up jobs in politically motivated cases.
