I found it. The Bari Weiss/CBS News town hall promo for feminism does indeed use a 1964 photo of Beatles fans.

Vought is one of the top three or four enemies of the Constitution & American democracy. His removal from power is one of the highest priorities for any project of checking the dictatorship's lawless wielding of the vast powers of the state

"If you wanna post disinformation memes with no verification, it's free. If you wanna post actual links to news that people can verify, it'll cost ya."

I am now anti spell checkers and autofillers. Typing that was an unbelievable challenge. I spent more time correcting the autofill than it took to type. I do not believe the tech companies have incentive to maintain and improve them. This is not good.

One more thing I'm trying. Using the character limit. I got some no effort garbage replies, thought through my response, and mostly got more slurs and even lower effort in return. I think the bots are keying off of words, but can't produce a human reaction. I'm no longer scared of any AI threat.

A thing that's improving my mental health. When I have to use an AI tool, I prompt it like an abusive alcoholic father. I get honest results and it's a great outlet for aggression. It doesn't lie to me and tells me exactly why it can't perform the task I requested.

I just realized something about that $2000 number. That's the limit of assets someone is allowed to have on SSI and Medicaid. If I get this "tariff rebate", I lose my medical coverage and my disability income. Pretty sure this is intentional.

MAGA is fighting each other. Trump's getting old and it's creating a power vacuum. It feels "smart" to tell yourself not to feel hope because these people will never change. But it's wrong. They don't need to change. They just need to hate each other so much they can't organize.

I love veterinarians, veterinarians are awesome.

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

Nobody has to trust me. But I think we're all breaking through a collective depression.

A lot of people deciding to "Flip the table over and quit" literally got us Trump. They are complicit in the ethnic cleansing of the United States, fourteen million impending deaths by starvation and disease in Africa, the dismantling of our public health infrastructure, and God knows what else.

John Fetterman looks like something the Flintstones would use to cut grass.

q: why did the outfielders raise their arms during this play? a: according to the ancient scrolls in which the rules of baseball were found, if a ball lands and doesn't bounce that ball is declared god. the players were worshipping god. i doubt there will be a game 7 or any further baseball seasons

Everyone roasts me for putting stuff up late on Fridays, but Tom just hung an 11:58pm dateline on Defector and I don't see anyone yelling at him about it. I don't know what it's about, though, I haven't checked that part yet. Gonna post before I do, though. defector.com/shohei-ohtan...

Mark Zuckerberg has a vision for how A.I. could be used in Meta's universe. But the actor and filmmaker Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here to point out a flaw in the technology: an apparent lack of guardrails around how the company's chatbot interacts with underage users. nyti.ms/3ILwCNo

I vote yes!

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

In honor of its upcoming 250th Anniversary, I would like to revisit some of the grievances listed in therein for no particular reason: 1/

only reason the tariff war makes any sense to me is that trump's financiers are sitting on a ton of capital & are looking to pick up huge buys on otherwise successful companies that totally fucking collapse in the wake of of the stock market damage, then reverting it after the equity is picked up

The buyouts email sent by OPM uses the same headline as what Elon Musk sent to Twitter employees when he took over the company — “Fork in the Road.” It also has a similar “click yes or no” form at the end of the email. www.opm.gov/fork

In 2017, Snoop Dogg asked who the first "Uncle Tom" performing at Donald Trump's inauguration was gonna be. Last night, Snoop performed at the Crypto Ball.

So here's what's cool about my job: Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

Facebook is lying. They did not delete the accounts. They just hid the public profiles. If you have a chat going on you can still ask them new questions.

DAMMIT NPR. I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded. Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

NEW: After reviewing leaked documents, we have found UnitedHealth is strategically limiting access to a treatment for thousands of children with autism across the country in order to cut costs. Advocates say the company’s strategy may be illegal. www.propublica.org/article/unit... 👇

So here's the jist, the cops usually tell them not to, same w/ families. The larger the reward, the more bogus info there is to filter through. Crime rewards are almost entirely focused not on getting the public to BOLO but to get associates to snitch.

I would like to testify to Luigi Mangione's good character that at least he committed his crime safely after Halloween. Plenty of time left to come up with a hacky costume for 2025.

In 2024, the remains of a teenage girl found in the basement of a Hell’s Kitchen basement were finally identified as 16-year-old Patricia McGlone. She’d been there since 1969, when the basement was a rock music club called Steve Paul’s The Scene. I investigate her death & life for Rolling Stone:
