so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

Really want to encourage libraries - especially school libraries - to put no-AI content into your collection development policy. At the very least, if you have a clause in there about requiring accurate information, you can use that to weed out or prevent genAI purchases.

you know what is totally cool to say? It is totally cool to say that every last confederate officer should have been hanged and every last plantation owner dispossessed and hanged after the civil war. It is totally cool to say it. it has no correlation with how you feel about politics in the present

truth coming out of her well to shame mankind

I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.

As I've said before, the amount of "public officials act against a backdrop of violent threats" you can have before you, in Trump's favorite phrase, don't have a country anymore, is EXTREMELY small Immense respect for Judge Young for taking this stand

It's a Leviathan issue. If a judge is mindful of preserving their personal safety when deciding a case, then the law does not govern anymore, it's the dudes making the threats who govern, through force, and we're just back in the State Of Nature Which Is A State of Warre

What is this long dormant feeling in my breast, pray tell? Egads! Patriotic pride, I have missed thee so.

Pritzker: "For Donald Trump and the MAGAs in Congress, this is not about fighting crime or public safety ... this is about consolidating power in Donald Trump's hands. What he plans to do with that power now or during the 2026 elections should worry all of us."

"Oh but my congressmen is a republican/im in a red state" STILL CALL THEM. not just on this issue but ANY issue you care about! Contact your state and municipal level reps as well if you dont trust your congressmen to do the right thing. And ffs dont post doomer shit under people's call to action

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

i keep saying this but what i hate most about the ezra kleins of the world is their insistence is that politics is about messaging and triangulating. its never about offering a compelling vision of the world, its about trying desperately to capitulate to whatever moment we are in

ICE is one of the most well funded military force on the planet, entirely used internally on it’s own citizens, and completely loyal to a far right fascist dictator. if democratic politicians are not on board with abolishing ICE, they must be replaced

Be brave now, while it's still easier and possibly effective. Coz: bsky.app/profile/mode...

There’s the gender neutral “dude” and “bro” and then there’s the inconsiderate versions, and it’s all vibe based

Great to hear respected, not-radical normie liberals talk about what’s obviously wrong with the Democratic Party now but it would be even better if any of them reckoned with how they responded to people who said the same things for the last 10-20-30 years.

Man. What the fuck.

ICYMI on Thursday: Hawaii's Supreme Court keeps releasing opinions that denounce the U.S. Supreme Court. They call the Roberts court “pretend law.” The latest? A ruling that requires the police to record all interrogations, with more shots at SCOTUS from Hawaii Justice Eddins.

ICE agent in a skull mask, symbol of the most militant white supremacists, paid with U.S. tax dollars to target journalists with less lethal* munitions. Headshots! *Painful and creating wounds. If the projectiles had hit them directly in the eyes . . .
