I can’t get this response out of my head. /“Anthropic thinks powerful Al should be tightly controlled in small rooms in San Francisco and Davos.”/ “We at OpenAI have a big farm upstate for the AI to run around. Free range, organic AI.”

The City of Philadelphia has a goal of recruiting 250 new pollworkers this year. Fill out the form here if you're interested! You could be appointed to the role if there is a vacancy in your division, or you may be asked to work somewhere else in the city. vote.phila.gov/working-the-...

This language is new: "Body Cameras for Accountability, Not Tracking" Calls for safeguards against use of body cams for surveillance. Human rights experts generally don't think these safeguards will work, but this is a sign grassroots pressure opposing ICE surveillance is having an impact.

Yes! You can be a poll watcher, you can be a poll worker. In Philly, you just need to call the Election Board Unit at (215) 685-4811 or the County Board of Elections at (215) 686-3469. They even pay you to be a poll worker and take the training! You’ll work with caring, smart, level-headed folks

Find your next bonfire. Easier said than done, but it’s the only way through

This is a congressional Warrant Canary

Don't piss off your dry cleaner with tear-gas riddled stuff.

we’re never going to be free of GamerGate and I’m going to be angry about it for the rest of my life

Hey, are any lawyers here 1) barred in NJ 2) have some experience with immigration and/or civil liberties issues And 3) Available to be the lawyer in "I want to talk to my lawyer" for trusted friends doing (quiet) elementary school escort work for an undocumented family?

Doesn't matter. CS and smoke are particulates, and OC is an oil. None of the things they're using are true gases, in the chemical sense. Any P100 filter will keep them out. But the filters need to be changed after every exposure, so when people are getting gassed daily, we need a lot of filters.

The burning tear gas grenade burn hot enough to melt and burn all kinds of things in the trash/recycling and you get cyanide and dioxins and furans and all kinds of fun shit.

When you get to a point as a white dude with a huge following where you are logging into an alt so you can screenshot a woman critic who has blocked you, at a point when she is now studiously avoiding even use of your name... It is time for some self-reflection.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

Will Stancil was a condescending dick to me when I was on Nazi kill lists. I wear hats because of jokes about killing em from a keynote in 2017 I have less on the ground expertise than Gwen and plenty other people. Folks give men superhero credit for the shit women do just to survive

Maybe. Were I a betting man, I’d put money on Epstein being behind Craig Wright tho

This is in regard to putting a traffic cone over a CS grenade. It can work- but it's really a combination of preparedness and luck. It isn't preparedness alone. You see the lucky ones in photojournalism. No ethical medic would film or photograph the ones who are injured, so you don't see them.

One day the industry will recognize the drawbacks of AI agents and nondeterministic automation, and rediscover the UNIX philosophy of chaining together small purpose built tools in a low cost and predictable way, otherwise known as shell scripts.

I mean I'm not being funny but y'all know /why/ Taibbi specifically doesn't care right

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

We used to be a great country

If we hurry, we can hold the tribunals in space. The timeline works. People would absolutely pay attention. It’s a generation ship. A ship used to hurl an entire generation of corrupt politicians, tech leaders, and pedos into the sun.

Friend, speaking as someone who has been organizing on the left for over 20 years... ...we absolutely have an antisemitism problem. It's not unique to us, all of this country has an antisemitism problem. But we are not exempt.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

@faineg.bsky.social any idea how the enforcement mechanism may work? Saw you mention the req. for drones to broadcast their ID. I’m curious if the framing of “beneath/near” is a misnomer & would actually just mean something carried within the DHS convoy records the ID, even at a significant range?

Deleting Signal now that I know it's compromised. Find me in a Honda Fit.

Security theater undermining activism is a real thing that happens all the time. People need to sit down and actually learn how to think through threat models.

Unqualified immunity for nurses. Seems reasonable

Yeah, Reuters is reporting that ICE is now explicitly ordering agents to turn back whenever they see "agitators" like @whstancil.bsky.social, which logically means they can no longer abduct people at the presence of watchers and commuters www.reuters.com/world/ice-of...

Cannot believe Vince Gilligan did not go with, "I am the one who licks." Clearly, a missed opportunity.

"We promise that future versions of Windows will stop requesting that you update 'Your Fucking Attitude' and instead update the operating system."

Sign of the times that a tech website is reviewing ppe? Absolutely. But it’s not a stunt. The people giving feedback on the masks have used them in protest situations. Been a fan since day one, but unlike a lot of things on the internet, the verge gets better with each passing year.

Wonderful 🧵, not least because I have learned the phrase, “utter cobblers.”

When I grow up, I want to be a LLM. They seem like they have it all figured out, and I hear they have great job security.

Truly one of the worst possible uses of genAI, regardless of motive. I know it's being built into everything, but try not to share those modified images, let alone generate them.

"Also, forward this to three more people or Bloody Mary will deport you."

Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.

was wondering what edgar was up to these days

ok the full clip is way better than the little one going around. her whole team try to get her to bail on the event and she's like no, I came to speak. incredible example.

What the actual fuck

What’s the German word for schadenfreude???

The straight-to-DVD remake of ‘Argo’ is stupider than I could have imagined.
