Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?" Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

not to engagement bait post, but curious what people's favourite music docs are. ESPECIALLY ones that aren't the super well known ones (please don't tell me about The Last Waltz)

it's funny how much the NY Post fear mongered about Zohran and he's just being a normie demsoc mayor

What's an example of human-AI collaboration research that has influenced subsequent UX/UI or made its way into agent training?

Women are increasingly seen riding motorbikes in Iran's capital, where laws and religious mores once barred women from motorbikes.

We also tend to try to substitute cultivating human (and human-thing) relationships and interdependencies with designing structures for influencing and shaping human behavior, which are two very different ways of conceptualizing sociotechnologies

Less “I can fix him,” more “I can introduce structural vulnerabilities that can be used to disable the evil empire‘s most deadly weapons”

I am still on board with "technology has no inherent moral valence" but boy you can really spot the technological changes that act as amplifiers for "destruction is generally easier than creation"

probably little comfort to joan meyer who DIED from the stress of the raid.

wow. WOW.

My trailer for a nostalgia-drenched, unfunny family-focused Austin Powers reboot, ala Ghostbusters: faint orchestral rendition of that bossa nova song. A kid wearing the glasses discovering a dusty Swedish penis pump in an attic. Liz Hurley in old lady makeup saying "Your grandpa..was very horny.."

Nothing like a proposal for a modest amount of lower-income housing nearby to find out who your neighbors are.

i'd give 3:1 odds on the trump administration just straight-up using tariff revenues as a slush fund to pay for things outside the appropriations process

This is the FIFTH ICE flight out of Chicago in less than week, per tracking by @jjindc.bsky.social.. (2 GlobalX, 3 Avelo) Never seen that many stops to one city in a week. My guess, they’ve extracted all the overcrowding-induced “voluntary” deports they’re gonna get, so now they’re moving out.

And finally finally, here's a resources you can share and reference with more about how to detect, and protect yourself from scammers and abusers. support.signal.org/hc/en-us/art... 7/

Finally, to help you determine the fake and malicious from the genuine, we have signposts (support.signal.org/hc/en-us/art...) in the application that can aid you in identifying fakers and phishing attempts. We also have tools like Registration Lock to help protect against account takeovers. 6/

Contact with Signal (support.signal.org/hc/en-us/art...) or any Signal representative will ONLY come from an @signal.org email address, not from within the app. And again, we will never ask for your PIN or verification code. And we do not reach out proactively, only in response to your requests.4/

To be crystal clear: Signal will NEVER message you this way. Ever. And just like with your bank details or passwords, NEVER EVER share your Signal verification code (SMS/Call) or PIN with anyone. Ever. 3/

PSA: tips to protect yourself from scams on Signal. Every major comms platform has to contend w phishing, impersonation, & scams. Sadly. Signal is major, and as we've grown we've heard about more of these attacks--scammy people pretending to be something or someone to trick and abuse others. 1/

Lol what the fuck

Holy shit finally an Op-Ed that Gets It

This camp is in El Paso. This is where today’s flight from Gary just landed. It was carrying detainees from ICE’s detention facility in Broadview. All of DHS’s denials in this story about inhumane conditions and lack of access to attorneys are the same false claims they made about Broadview.

Reminder that I'm running a workshop this Sunday in Seattle from 2-5pm! Come make art and imagine otherwise with me :) www.eventbrite.com/e/dair-prese...

In the same vein: They don't use synthetic speech. The first version was voiced by the creator's grandmother. The latest version is voiced by Ashinaabe children! To me, this centers the intrinsic humanity of spoken language. Critical, especially when you're gearing tech towards children.

Building on that, from what I can tell, it's *not* conversational. It translates and repeats back words. I love this. Not making it conversational, not trying to make interactions "feel real"— it's not only simpler, but it contributes to their stated goal: don't try and replace human interaction.

Normally "here's an AI robot that talks to kids to teach them a language" would be a hard no from me. But I found one that I think is great, and I want to talk about why. The SkoBot is a language revitalization robot, led by Ashinaabe engineer @danielleboyer.bsky.social Here's what I like: 🧵

There so many possible takes on this, but my 2 cents: If I was going to build a humanoid robot, the first priority would be making sure it can get back up when it falls down, because falling down is an inevitability in bipedalism.

Bovino & Co. were sent to Chicago to terrorize the community while DHS created content—not mass deportations. They're a strike team that built a template for laying seige to an unwelcoming city, both the initial attack and the response to resistance. Relief for us is another city's incoming pain

it makes me so mad when conferences are like "you need to be there and also the format is just gonna be you talking for 15 minutes to a dark auditorium with either 5 or 250 people" like buddy we can do that with youtube we don't all need to be in the same room (let alone same country) for that shit!

Saw a sign about Flock cameras in my podunk home town the other day and it gives me so much heart to see how pissed off people are about this.

I wrote about what I see as the real lesson of Mamdani's victory: not that Democrats needs to move left (or right, for that matter), but that they should try to build real-world relationships with normal voters. publiccomment.blog/p/mamdani-th...

Our congratulations to Dean Fuleihan, a senior fellow at the CUNY Institute of State and Local Governance, who was appointed by Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to serve as First Deputy Mayor. His appointment reflects the University's mission to advance public service.

as the husband of a mahjong addict, dudes need to identify an activity that can be done relatively easily in groups with minimal financial commitment so they can get out of the house for 2-3 hours on a school night, have two beers, and shoot the shit with their buddies. It won't be mahjong tho.

Hey, so, funny story about police and data...

Just had to call a Dr’s office because i had to reschedule my referred appointment last week (uti) and tried to make it this week but now can’t (is now a kidney infection). “Ok but if you try to reschedule a third time we won’t see you.” Dear Doctors, ARE YOU NOT USED TO WORKING WITH SICK PEOPLE?

I mean: wow www.icij.org/investigatio...
