I saw a rainbow today 🌈

This is the single most alarming thing I’ve seen yet from RFK Jr. He is attempting to get identifiable medical records from ALL OF US. “Under the proposal, HHS would get data from 90% of the population’s medical records by 2028”. This CANNOT be permitted to happen.

An LLM will grade a paper according to the criteria through which it is designed to produce a paper. As such, the LLM grades humans based on the criteria engineers use to assess the LLM. mail.cyberneticforests.com/its-not-just...

I was saddened to learn of the death of Raul Pacheco-Vega earlier this week. I’ve known Raul for a very long time. I’ve written something for my website. Read here: jovanevery.co.uk/in-memoriam-...

I've almost survived this month's round of bills. THANK YOU ALL so much. Not sure why the preview says 89% when I am 95% of the way to goal. If I can get this fully funded and sell 2 of my 12x12 or 11x14 inch paintings, I can finish paying bills. ko-fi.com/johnniejae/g...

To my Pride folks. You are loved. There ain't no other you. You are so fierce you got these wockaflockas shook and whatnot. Go on with yo' bad selves.

I found this neat tool that lets you generate text and images just from your ideas. It's really good!

Angie Craig needs to condemn this shit if she’s ever going to be taken seriously again

So, to be clear, this is illegal if produced within the 90 days before a nominating convention and 18 days before the primary on August 11th. The PAC released in the brief two-month period they could and took advantage of gaps in the law. Shameful www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cit...

Today, you might see a TV ad starring something that... kind of looks like me. My opponent's super PAC is using an AI deepfake of me to mislead voters. They can't win with the truth - so they're resorting to lies. It's disgusting. Minnesotans deserve better.

DHS's Operation Metro Surge hurt Minnesota's leisure and hospitality industry in Jan-Mar 2026, destroying: - 4,600 jobs, - 3.8 million work hours, - $71 million in wages. New analysis by me & @aaronrosenthal.bsky.social @northstarpolicy.org northstarpolicy.org/leisure-and-...

keep it in your pants, Whole Foods, damn

@raulpachecovega.bsky.social death is under investigation as there were reported signs of violence. Dr. Raul Pacheco-Vega deserved so much better. I hope justice is served. Original spanish article: www.am.com.mx/leon/2026/06... English translation: www-am-com-mx.translate.goog/leon/2026/06...

Got an emotional support bag of funyuns

Through Clinton and Obama we pretended to have a healthCARE debate and instead had a PAYING for healthcare, aka insurance, debate. And did so under right wing, this will save money/be efficient, framing. Instead of making people hunger for country where all can get care we need.

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

People have been asking me if I know of a resource like StandWithMinnesota for New Jersey, and I haven't found something comprehensive. So, for the moment, I have put together all the links to NJ orgs, crowdfunding links, events, and stuck them on a page of SWM. standwithminnesota.org/jersey

In memory of the wonderful Raúl.

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

…Removing your own stylistic cues & voice for fear they make you "sound like AI" is a sure-fire way to make your work bland & lifeless, to say nothing of what it's gonna do to you psychologically, emotionally, & hermeneutically. Develop your voice, & write how you fucking well want to goddam write.

In his keynote speech to Harvard graduates this week, @thedailyshow.com host Ronny Chieng said "Fuck AI!" Turns out you can talk about AI in a grad speech and not get booed. Watch our episode on these AI grad speeches: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE0E...

It's so interesting how Jacob Frey can move fast when it comes to easy symbolic things that make him look good. Laziest mayor in the country who isn't a literal dog in some rural town lol

I had to make strawberry rock decoys to try to deter the birds and squirrels from eating all my strawberries in my garden.

Morris Day and The Time responds: "Contrary to rumor, Morris Day & The Time will not be performing at the 'Great American State Fair.'"

My elderly corgi started barking in her sleep and Bernie got up and went over to her to see if she was ok. 😭💜

Except statistics only indicate trends and possibilities, not reality. Reality sometimes lines up with those trends, but sometimes does not. That's why polling is such a tricky thing to get right. Minority Report had MORE certainty than statistics, and it's still a dystopian fantasy.

Modeled on the *fantasy* of a brain. They are not modeled on human brains. They come out of nearly a century of cybernetically-based concepts, attempting to predict human behavior from exterior indicators, treating the brain like a black box whose interiority can be statistically predicted.

Whatever else the First Encyclical of Pope Leo XIV is, it for sure isn't more "responsible AI== learn how best to use AI" drivel.

When your best friend texts you “wake up, new encyclical dropped.

These sports dinks on KARE are doing Prince slander.

This is the applicable provision of the Minnesota Human Rights Act. Under MN law, an ESA for which a tenant has a medical need and for which they have properly requested an accommodation (a lower bar than every landlord will admit), is allowed unless it presents an undue burden (a pretty high bar).

you guys wanna see a bee

I seriously need another, larger raised bed for veggies.

I planted some stuff today and am now so sweaty

This benefits a neighborhood school where more than 70% of kids were in hiding at the height of the ICE occupation.
