"Joined forces with conservatives," to do what? What did she join with them to do? *Insert angry goose png* What was happening in 2020? What were Black people asking for? She saw George Floyd, and said "That's it! I have to join this civil rights battle..., on the side of racism!"🤡

See, this isn't hard: Lander admonishes the appropriate body (Cabinet) to invoke 25th, then MOVES ON to telling Congress to act within its own domain of power.

30-50 feral hogs would like to have a word

I've been informed that this show was apolotical. I believe this aired in 1990 m.youtube.com/watch?v=yiqn...

I don't wanna be reductive here, because it's more often than not a more complicated thing than simply pointing towards one common cause. However. Either by component shortages caused by AI or executives using AI caused component shortages as justification for hiking prices... AI did this.

girl "I keep looking around in the hopes that someone who is more powerful than I am, whose job is safer, will speak up about what a shameful and embarrassing capitulation this is, and say something about how it connects to the political collapse we are all living through in this country right now"

Some regrettable personal news: As of ~45 mins ago I am no longer employed. I'm still trying to find my bearings, but would be gateful for whatever leads y'all have. (I will say more in a bit, once I actually have the time to spare)

@thebonster.bsky.social you should see this

I'm gathering that people thought jay was protecting this place from VCs or whatever? Okay

Hey what happened over lunch, did I miss anything hilarious?

Abstruse What obscure is to perception, abstruse is to understanding

I stopped taking any pride in being an eagle scout long time ago. But I have continued to take satisfaction in knowing how much some people hate this fact It happened bitches. And it can't unhappen

Girl Scouts of the USA is not the same thing as Scouting America, FYI - they are independent from one another, despite the similar names. So you can still buy delicious cookies and also support trans kids! www.erininthemorning.com/p/2026-trans...

🤷🏿‍♂️The backflips white people go through to try to justify police killing unarmed Black people for no reason while opposing ICE killing unarmed white people for no reason, is something quite amazing to observe. Cops have killed 141 people so far this year. It's not even March yet.

shipping is a discipline, not a function

Good. Talarico and his angry cartoon avatar followers, should go away. And the Hispanic MAGA voters that are Pro-ICE and anti-migrant farm workers? Who are making bad faith arguments against her? Can stay on that side. Again, Texas has more registered Democrats than GOP. Motivate the base.

Did you know you can just watch old episodes of the joy of painting? Strong recommend. Top tier AI antidote

For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I explained why Gavin Newsom's flirtation with anti-trans policy won't win a single conservative or centrist vote for him and also makes him a non-starter for trans lefties. xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

Me: what? why and how is josh hawley not being a giant piece of shit right now? *4 minutes pass* Hawley: ...and they built these CENSORSHIP tools for CHINA Me: right right right

really vibing with this analysis

My second novel, THE NOWRUZ NEGOTIATION, a second-chance romance set in and around Persian New Year, is coming April 14, 2026 💚🪻🌷 arezouamin.com/books/the-no...

Microsoft: ai can make mistakes, check the results or whatever Also Microsoft:

You: Look, I have created artificial intelligence Me: you've ruined a perfectly good information retrieval system, is what you've done. Look at it, it's got hallucinations

I've been touching grass, wtf is LLM burnout

I guess I should add that it's GOOD these guys are trying to retcon with the NYT's help, even if you shouldn't believe that it's driven by any real honest introspection. It means the delicate alliances that propped up this deadly kakistocracy are fracturing and they know shame is returning.

This is an *amazing* statement, very worth the watch.

It behooves us to assume that Schumer is not just cowardly, he simply does not want to abolish lCE because he thinks they're good and necessary

I just learned that linkedin is down. Here's what this taught me about b2b sales

there's an interesting and very thorough analysis of this paper on mastodon, by @jenniferplusplus.com: hachyderm.io/@jenniferplu...

hey @medialawprof.bsky.social did you recently join or move to a new account on mastodon? If not, then it seems like someone is impersonating you there

we're not doing "people who criticise genAI don't understand it and are ignoring its utility" any more. get better material

someone wants you angry. ask yourself if that's in your best interest

The Bad Batch. The rest of the show is all over the place, but the last 6 episodes are absolute, all time, prestige television

* CAVEATS: I remain unconvinced the juice is worth the squeeze. Even where it *works* there's no decoupling it from the irresponsible stewardship of every major player in the space. And I'm still not convinced there's a product in there if you remove unethically sourced training corpus.

Semifinal, Match 1 of 2 a. Pretty Obvious

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: these positions are not the good sign you think they are. These people are there to make sure the COMPANY is not harmed, not the community. If the person is well intentioned, they are forced to toe the company line or pushed out altogether.

Because I've been thinking with Jenny Odell's Saving Time for the past year, I believe that time poverty is a big reason why people don't want to do anything that looks remotely like revisiting something is supposed to be already done. Which includes maintenance and fixing bugs.

Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

That Facebook line, tho 🤌

Everyone on this list voted to the right of Ted Cruz.
