This is all I’ll say about today’s AI discourse: I’m bad at a lot of things other people are good at, because they spent time learning and practicing those things, and I did not. No matter how broke I am, no one owes me skill-mastery on command - esp not when it come at the expense of others.

Little under the weather and expecting to have fevered dreams tonight about Lindsey Vonn chasing me on one ski yelling “I want my $2!”

Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

Psaki: Trump "is laying the groundwork to undermine the validity of the midterm elections ... He does not think he and his party can win on their own."

Here’s the worst part about my name being in the Epstein Files: He didn’t even email his friend MY article. He emailed an aggregation of my article with my name in it. It's one thing to be the world's most evil pedophile, but at least read primary source materials when doing non-pedophile stuff.

Remind me again why they broke policy to move her to a Club Fed?

I’ll give $1000 to a charity of their choice to the reporter who asks him about it. $2000 if they ask Karoline Leavitt what it smelled like.

DOJ didn’t forget to redact this one.

Isn’t looking at that data literally his job?

Personally I most often cite Matt 25:31-46, where *nations* are judged for their actions by the Son of Man, but the man wears a mutual jerk off buzzer with his son, so we might be reading different Bibles…

Early last year I approached Rep Gimenez with an offer to work together to protect immigrants in his district & mine. He rudely told me he had his own strategy & walked off. Apparently his strategy was to do nothing for over a year to actually stop this. Miami deserves better.

The timeline may vary, but all paths forward as a nation go through #1. #2 is how we got here and #3 just means #1 comes later, after a war.

Man, clutching chest at Starbucks, “Does anyone remember which hospital was running a sale on stints?!”

Elon Musk is claiming he’s risked everything to protect kids from sexual abuse mere weeks out from laughing while his AI chatbot was generating nearly 8,000 sexual abuse images per hour that overwhelmingly targeted girls and young women

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

“Some #Caturday. She doom scrolled all day instead of adoring me.”

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

I'm terrible at promoting myself, but if you'd like to see a more curated feed of me playing games or rambling about them then I'd super appreciate if you subscribed to my YouTube where I'm trying to do more video content please and thank you ❤️ youtube.com/@David_Leavi...

"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Ordering cocktails in Japan apparently involves metrics I have never considered…

Wait, is this what she meant by doing "the fucking news"?

Because they, themselves, are cowards. Altruism, empathy, and standing up for something larger than yourself are all things they can’t even imagine.

every free state should do this California's Evidence Bank For ICE Crimes open.substack.com/pub/brianbeu...

Brewery workers, bar owners, and union organizers in MSP are setting the mark on how to actually care for their community, rather than just invoke as a buzzword. At @vinepair.com, I reported how their work doubles as a playbook for colleagues nationwide whose homes may face MAGA sieges soon enough.

The unspecified new charges against the former CNN anchor came after a magistrate judge in Minnesota had already rejected a warrant for his arrest, and a federal district judge said there was no evidence that he had engaged in any criminal behavior. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Couldn’t sleep last night and wound up rereading Jeremy Brecher’s “Strike!” (50th anniversary edition). Seemed fitting for today. @kevinmkruse.bsky.social or #History #HistoryBlueSky are there any lists of other good history books on related subjects?

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

Is prompting Grok for baseless BS really a study?

Can’t wait until the corrupt SCOTUS finds a way to reconcile this form of privacy with its loathsome Dodds decision.

FWIW, I’m in my 60s and would give the same basic answer.🤷‍♂️

This reminds me of a point @joshtpm.bsky.social made today. We need to use this period of Trump weakness to get more GOP on the record conceding certain actions are beyond the pale. Get them to concede the ground, to use Josh’s metaphor. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/can-d...

The national rate of pediatric firearm deaths increased by 54% from 2004 to 2023, with most U.S. kids now living in states where firearm injury is the leading cause of death. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I think this will unfold on multiple fronts. Microsoft’s slow moving train wreck with Windows 11 comes to mind. “Well, you can’t reliably browse files, but we’ve added extra helpings of an inherently lying plagiarism machine…”

DHS concedes to Fox it hasn’t followed standard protocol wrt this fatal shooting for the last five days, but it doesn’t explain why. It continues to hide the identities of its homicidal agents.

“We will gladly pay the Treasury next Tuesday for the money we steal today…”

"The thing I found most inspiring in Minnesota was watching all these people who were so committed to helping the people around them. It was a politics of love." On the pod, @adamserwer.bsky.social is just brilliant all throughout. One great insight after another: newrepublic.com/article/2057...
