I’m showing Claude what I made out of the parts AI helped me with. Claude noticed I made a correction. Said “good catch”

In 2012, California started adopting major progressive criminal justice reforms. Since then, the state has seen historic drops in crime, with homicide now at historic lows. Remember this when right-wing propagandists screech about crime in Democratic states. 🎁 www.sfchronicle.com/crime/articl...

Mosquitos can bite me through my clothes

Calistoga, a rustic and scenic town at the north end of the Napa Valley, famous for its mud baths, has rejected a proposed data center on town fair grounds. Residents were concerned about house, water usage, and pollution. #SayNoToDataCenters

Do presidents of countries normally get involved in the World Cup

Er… This is not a new problem? US leadership always been very white & upper class. I mean, 3/5 compromise. "Only landowning white men can vote." Jim Crow. When past generations won civil rights gains, they did it WHILE running uphill. I take courage from that.

Happy 10th anniversary of this essay about the dangers of Donald Trump, written by... JD Vance. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I love this woman

Today we celebrate the PDFing of "Declaration FINAL v3 USE THIS ONE - SIGNED.docx" (Jefferson's draft was heavily edited by the Committee, then again by Congress, and he was big mad about it.)

Guys, I think we need Mythbusters back.

I sure hope Ed Zitron isn’t getting tired of shouting about the AI bubble because I can listen to him all day in my headphones while blasting 1979 Crass from the speakers while closing AI popups in every app rather than getting any work done

Ok but teaching yourself how to sew nylon ripstop is v impressive!

Little daydream that Qatari AF1 is using hacked Tesla FSD autopilot, flies straight into Trump Tower

Someday I want to see a really well reported story from the Iranian side on how they managed to systematically destroy the entire US military base archipelago America had built and relied on for decades, and why the US couldn’t protect them. We kind of shrug and move on but it’s astonishing.

humanity is doomed. the only thing that can save us is the electric guitar

there were more people in my garage watching the World Cup last weekend

The same way that just a dozen people are behind over half of all the book bans, this entire goddamn nazi movement is a fucking handful of freaks who are loud enough in billionaire nazi sex pest social media empires to be confused with an entire crowd. This *is* their irl numbers and popularity.

Guess what changed after the supreme courts birthright decision? Literally nothing. The right is acting like they just fell out of a helicopter and panicing

Stephen Miller just warned voters what will happen if Democrats retake Congress in November: “It’s game over. They’re going to get rid of ICE.”

Nina Totenberg reporting Alito is retiring.

Crash faster

the old world is dying the older world returns

imagine if they found him at a waffle house

Are they advertising for her? This is a "don't threaten me with a good time" policy agenda if I've ever seen one.

the authoritarianism is bad, but the loser energy is absolutely intolerable

Bespoke: How many kids does he have? Woke II: How many kids has he killed?

Shouldn’t he be campaigning in Texas?😂 “Paxton was caught on video traveling with an alleged mistress from Dulles International Airport to Reykjavik, The Daily Mail reported. She was identified by the outlet as Tracy Duhon, a Christian influencer and mother of seven.”

We have Slaughter and Cook. By a 6–3 vote, SCOTUS overturns Humphrey's Executor and lets Trump fire heads of independent agencies. But by a 5–4 vote, it refuses to let him fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p... www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Imagine not having to travel out of your city to go to the hospital. My treatments meant driving to San Francisco from Cloverdale, CA. I know lots of folks who have to go a hundred miles more.

Democracy depends on a free press and the preservation of free expression through all communication technologies as much as it depends on a stable economy. The Supreme Court's decision puts at risk how Congress intended independent agencies to function in American democracy. 🧵

fuck with consumers all you want but anything that could threaten the justices' net worth is just a step too far

Red Bull, the scam compound whistleblower from my story below, is struggling to rebuild his life in a new country. He desperately needs tuition funds to keep his student visa, avoid deportation and stay safe. Anything you can give would go a long way: www.gofundme.com/f/support-wh... Thank you!

Cobbler. You bake the biscuits with a whole bunch of fresh fruit jam. What a great idea. Hot, cooked fruit: yea or nay for you?

i, for one, was not surprised to learn that the founding father responsible for this particular seal design proposal was benjamin franklin

and the teachers would be pissing in bottles because their pay would be cut when they went to the bathroom

Pay up, trillionaires

I listened to a bunch of Cory Doctorow Reverse Centaur interviews. What a brain. I never thought of centaurs that way. I have thought a lot about centaurs though

Claude should not be so defensive about its wrong answers. Training on social media of any kind is a bad idea

Entire towns were built up and lots were sold on speculation that railroad lines would have a stop in their town. When they didn't, many became ghost towns. It was a tremendous waste of time, energy, effort, and resources. Exactly what the AI rollout feels like today.

Learning about cargo cults is making me sad and again I’m wishing Star Trek was true

Never had a pedicure in my life. Maybe today. Probably not.

Sunday sun is up. The coffee is hot. And you know who is swimming. Good Morning, America! Let’s keep looking for the higher ground. #RadioFreeAmerica youtu.be/3hGSqqhhokE?...

A lot of media coverage of the ‘AI’ reading of the Herculaneum scrolls really fails to understand what’s happened here. There’s no language processing happening, the AI/ML is not trained on a corpus of texts or language. It can detect ink to see shapes. HUMAN EXPERTS are then transcribing the text.

Here is the "WARNING NOTICE" federal agents hand-delivered. "YOU MAY BE IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW" It's the second of these notices I am aware of. If you've received one, please get in touch: fire.org/alarm

Yeah I've had farmers assume I'm Latina bc 1) brunette, 2) work on farm, 3) they don't know me from childhood and I don't kiss their ass. "So clearly she's gotta be a foreigner!" Incoming rant re how "Americans won't work on farms" is racist as fuck actually, & we need to stop falling for it.
