Narrator: Tillis voted to confirm Hegseth and Noem.

this is why all the software is so bad, imo. not even because like "men are bad" but just imagine how gnarly the social dynamics would have to be to get an outcome like this, and then those people were put in charge of designing the mediums for doing socialization on..........madness

PSA, this is a great outlet, and transitions like this can be brutal for their sustainability. If you supported already, make sure you continue through the transition. If you didn't, consider starting now.

Tangent, which I’ll preface as wonderful A hundred or so people have interacted with this post, and only two people are using it That, IMO, is a sign of a healthy community. The need is rare, but recognized and accommodated, and in most places, you’d never reach those two

The same administration that killed actually useful tech products - like free digital tax reporting - is directing its tech resources to impose a Trump propaganda app on federal employee phones

Levels tell you China's dominance in making energy security strategy 20 years ago, EU's realization that its diesel cars push for last 20 years was a world-historical mistake, and US becoming a technological backwater of SUVs & oil Rates of Growth tell you world outside US-EU-Asia is going electric

one interesting thing so far about loudly hating AI is the way AI lovers are like "wow so you're just totally closed off to hearing another perspective??" as if their perspective hasn't been relentlessly pushed down our throats with no space to push back (particularly in professional settings)

This is a nightmare, please consider supporting if you can

Literally me when I opened the app and saw the news.

i just told a friend on my couch, "shots fired at the White House" and they responded, in a tired voice, "ok"

Like there’s no shortage of folks going on media tours shitting on the DNC over the autopsy without taking any accountability for making it so that we needed an autopsy in the first place.

It’d be great if the overpaid Obama consultants who actually lost the 2024 election and are taking contracts with gambling apps got even half the anger that Ken Martin is getting for mishandling the post-loss review.

Joe Rogan now has the favorability distribution of a Fox News host. Remember all the 2024-2025 hot takes lmaoooo via @carlbeijer.bsky.social

"but i can't draw" then use stick figures, take photos & add speech bubbles, cut & paste public domain images! find weird workarounds for things you can't do or just DO THEM ANYWAY, it's 100% ok to draw stuff that's unpolished or wonky, & if you keep at it you'll end up better than when you started

We all literally, LITERALLY just watched NASA fly four absolute all-stars the farthest any human has ever been from Earth and back flawlessly, and yet we're still continuously forced to pretend Musk's bullshit catastrophe factory is the future of human space exploration

There is a slow-rolling coup against DNC leadership being attempted by the same failed centrist hacks at Future Forward, Third Way and Searchlight who got us into this mess. Matt Yglesias, Adam Jentleson, Anita Dunn and Jen O'Malley Dillon must not be allowed to take over.

“On May 23, 1796, a newspaper ad was placed seeking the return of Ona ‘Oney’ Judge, an enslaved Black woman who had ‘absconded from the household of the President of the United States,” George Washington.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about this… how initially the Trumpists tried to disown the violence/treachery of Jan 6 with conspiracy theories about Antifa and the FBI, but how later they embraced the violence and flipped the narrative, turning villains into heroes.

As a trans Democrat & dedicated supporter, I'm outraged by Rep. Kaptur's vote for H.R. 2616. This bill attacks trans kids & erases identities. Joining GOP bigotry is shameful. Dems: stop capitulating or lose our support. We demand full equality. #ProtectTransKids

This is an attack on legal immigration! USCIS plans to deny most residency applications filed inside the US by spouses and parents of US citizens, legal workers, and more - for example, people who entered as students or tourists, trying to do things the right way. www.uscis.gov/newsroom/new...

Yeah, y'all: we told you it would. LLM based "AI" concatenates strings of next-most-likely tokens. It bullshits. It makes shit up. An inventory situation where the systems need to "count" & "report" doesn't *change* that fundamental architecture; so why are these people continually surprised by it??

it’s timeeeeeee! time for what? for your quarterly reminder that when we are angry we take a breath. drink a glass of water. talk to our therapists and friends. and we don’t do what? post anything that could be read, in any way, even ungraciously, as a threat of violence. that’s right.

Again the lead prosecutor on this case when it was presented to the grand jury currently works for Dick Durbin as counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats.
