Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

seems like a good idea.

Proposed new US funding rules: We can cancel any grant at any time arstechnica.com/science/2026...

If your org still hasn’t figured out things like how to patch without production falling over or getting teams to talk to each other, a higher volume of findings will only make those things worse. Before you worry about Mythos, figure out how you’re going to deal with that

I regularly have people ask me about Mythos these days, so here are my thoughts: Finding bugs is never the hard part. Fixing them is. How’s your organizational alignment? Are your engineers burned out? How is your production resilience? Before you worry about the new shiny, focus on your basics

Top story, @byjustinmiller.bsky.social: Those who bet against Ken Paxton do so at their own peril. As he’s proven time and time again, his perceived weaknesses have repeatedly morphed into political strengths.

Whole thread is my issue with “humane”/ “human centered” AI it’s people accepting the premise rather than actually learn g anything

A quiet provision in the new FY2027 defense bill could permanently fuse the U.S. and Israeli military sectors. Foreign policy experts warn that by controlling manufacturing facilities on American soil, Israel could gain unprecedented leverage over local jobs and members of Congress.

I'm curious if they start quitting depending on the mid-terms.

The California State University system offers an early look at what happens when an administration commits to a technology that its own community isn't convinced will improve education.

"They’re disappearing them, innocent people." U.S. citizen Gabriela Soto has been demanding the release of her husband Martín Soto, who was snatched by ICE agents while getting diapers for their toddler.

Meanwhile in support of a new 24/7 low barrier downtown shelter is everyone else in the whole city including the cops and Chuck Surack but I kind of repeat myself

Since Google revealed its plans for an AI search overhaul, visits to our "No AI" search page have tripled…and they’re still rising! Want to make it your default on Chrome or Firefox? Grab our No-AI extensions and banish AI-assisted answers, chat, and AI images. (1/3)

I think we’re long past the “ai bad because of stealing” argument and fully in the “ai is also actively and tangibly destroying our planet why are you even trying to use it as an art tool at this point” stage

The biggest and most disruptive change proposed by the OMB would be to require senior political appointees to review every grant before it is awarded, blocking awards that “promote anti-American values," challenge binary views of sex, or otherwise don't align with the administration's values. 4/n

The new Trump $250 bill will conveniently cover one gas tank fill up.

Million-dollar payouts the Trump administration has made to some of his supporters, along with already pending claims, provide a roadmap for where money might go from the $1.7 billion fund program announced by DOJ as part of an agreement to resolve his IRS suit www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

As of today, there are at least three lawsuits challenging the Trump administration's $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund plan: - Jan. 6 police: buff.ly/HSqT8CL - Jan. 6 prosecutor + others: buff.ly/irxDUhi - watchdog group: buff.ly/yGOdT5u And on the Senate GOP pushback: buff.ly/swZJXiE

It would do scientists well to learn more about policy. This is a shockingly naive way to understand the current political and policy changes occurring in science

BREAKING: New proposed OMB regulation, applying to all federal grants, requiring grant reviews by senior political appointees and re-emphasizes that "peer review remains advisory and does not replace agency discretion". #standupforscience public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-10817.pdf

It remains baffling to me that we have a clear constitutional requirement that the president can't enrich himself on the job, something we had no problem enforcing strictly for hundreds of years, and then this sweaty conman came by and the nation just sorta shrugged it off.

What's really astonishing is not the far right authoritarian party doing this, but the near-total lack of <loud public collective action> by university chancellors & presidents to oppose this existential crisis. Almost impossible to overstate how total a failure of leadership this is.

This administration is a never-ending campaign of national self-immolation.

The first passage, from this piece by @meganwachspress.bsky.social : www.liberalcurrents.com/aoc-for-pres...

Nothing says groupthink like these guys saying the same thing in unison.

Here in Rural Ca, way up north, we're forced to pay the same rates as a bad driver in LA traffic. We have one main street, a freeway and no traffic at all, but we pay the same rates. It's usury, fraud, and just more taking by corporate MONSTERS.

If I've learned anything from this website it's that most adults don't bother to look up how literally anything financial works or make any sort of decision based on actual hard numbers.

the fact is these democratic governors do not have actual control over their own state police forces, and that’s a seriously scary problem that no elected wants to talk about or deal with

on top of the labor exploitation and abuses of GEO Group, NJ already wasn’t enforcing its laws at Delaney. it’s illegal in NJ for ICE or cops to be masked. both are (and have been all week) in droves. things tn escalated with police presence. horses, riot gear, arrests, ICE still operating

#tdih 1942 Fred Koremastu arrested for resisting Executive Order 9066 (people of Japanese descent incarcerated in U.S. concentration camps.) Convicted & sent to Topaz in Utah. He took case to Supreme Court, DOJ hid key evidence. Read what happened next ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/fr...

I just saw a guy on here say that "the median credit card debt is $0" and my dude the median is the middle value of a data set arranged in ascending order, it literally cannot be zero.

Transitioning to summer reading. Here's my pile of authors, I know most, + their new-ish books (except Twain; I'm doing a talk at Mark Twain House in June). The other theme is early republic or 19th century books. Unrelated, lighting the St. Julia candle to cleanse the aura in my apt.

Berkeley Breathed did quite the scathing racial takedown of Trump way back when

They made her a cake at work lmao

Trump, Bessent, Hassett and Lutnick have all been taking about 6% GDP growth any time now in one TV appearance after another for 18 months. Maybe someday CNBC or another network will present them with their own words in a montage. I know Fox won’t. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is a monumental time-bomb. AI software that is used to terminate employees is not only going to get LOADS of false positives, it's going to create a snake-pit of liability for employers and vendors. Also, bosses who gleefully use this tech had probably better have food-tasters on their yachts.
