We couldn't have done it without her.💐

Why would someone so young destroy her credibility so eagerly? 25 year-old Riley Podleski had been in DC all of FIVE MONTHS when sex pest/alcoholic Pete Hegseth made her Assistant Press Secretary for the U.S. Department of War. Why? Because he only hires the best...unqualified young white blondes.

Stevenson wants us to, “encourage us to realize that we have to help men understand that they can do caregiving roles and stay masculine.” Alternately, I want men to read a book. And I get to choose the book.

Blah blah blah gender stratification but also if you ever say the words, “make girly jobs more manly” to me, I will laugh in your face. Just a full on guffaw. What is wrong with you?

Whelp they couldn’t even spell secretary.

We need an updated term for the Gell-Mann Amnesia everyone has around AI. We all know it’s crap when it comes to our own area of expertise, yet somehow we forget about it when we just need a quick answer to a question on another subject.

How a researcher got AI to corroborate the existence of a fake disease. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The only revenge I want from 1979 is revenge for the October surprise Reagan-Iran collusion that got Reagan elected and ruined the country for the next 48 years.

Firstly, there are no 'girly' or 'manly' jobs, so write that down. Secondly, maybe the jobs considered 'girly' have shit pay, on account of rampant misogyny. You know - the kind of misogyny that prompted the writing of this article.

So #taskmaster is back, it’s still amazing, the cast are great, it features oranges, Kumail Nanjani, a bizarre egg, and that nutso lady who played Queen Elizabeth and a Zygon in the Doctor Who 50th. Pure perfect de-stresser. If you’re in the US, you can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRfH...

this is the most foreseeable and well-known strategic problem in the course of human history, which most straight men in positions of power scrupulously work to pretend doesn’t exist because of the Implications

Trump accepted $37 million worth of donated foreign steel for his White House ballroom from a corporation based in Luxembourg. Just days later, the Trump administration made major cuts to tariffs on steel imports that could significantly benefit that corporation. "America First."

as a service dog handler, i hate these people the #1 risk for having to retire a service dog early is PET DOG ATTACK i HAVE to take my dog with me and these people put his life & my life (bc i need him) at risk every time i have mentally prepared to kick, stomp, and choke out a dog & i hate it

now that the New Yorker article is out, go back and look at how access journos (like Kara Swisher) reacted to the OpenAI board saying Sam Altman was an opportunistic liar (via @garymarcus.bsky.social in '24) "A clod of a board stays consistent to its cloddery" she said in a since-deleted tweet

But automatic voter registration is impossible

This post is still live on X.

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

It's even worse. I clicked through to Mona's Bluesky page, and it looks like she's not just reporting for them, she's a fucking editor. Man, fuck these people.

the bulwark has always been a never trump GOP outlet masquerading as dems, this is their founder

I don't watch Hasan Piker or think about him much, but the attacks on him from multiple elite media institutions all within the same month sure seems like a coordinated campaign to neutralize a prominent pro-Palestine voice.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@jaketapper.bsky.social You have one job today, go ask every Republican you can find about this. If they agree to publish their names, if they don't. Ask them about impeachment and removal.

BREAKING: Trump announces two week window for Congress to remove him from office

Mamdani is not just filling the potholes with the crew. He's creating a visual and personal reminder of the dignity inherent in all of these anonymous government jobs.

The President’s proposed USDA budget takes away nearly 20% of its entire funding, slashing support for rural towns, agricultural research, and food aid produced by American farmers, all while they are already struggling in a tough farm economy. This is unacceptable.

first time really tuning into a war? welcome. Let’s go over some rules of how to behave. These are going to be especially important if it’s a war you oppose. 1. You are allowed an opinion. This is America. Whether you served or not. It’s done in your name so might as well speak up. 🧵

One of the best things about BlueSky being the social media for teachers is that (valid) hatred for NYT followed the left/center left from Twitter and is going mainstream among that demographic. "Well it was in NYT" is being replaced by teaching skepticism against a more sophisticated brand of bias.

Here's how we know you're lying.

When you chase down a viewpoint of a minority of folks and present it as a massive, important movement, and also dismiss the largest rally in America with "meh, is it really enough?" I suspect your bias is showing.

Dan Rather represents an era when journalism wasn't as polarized into political groups. I miss those days. 😭

the collective DC neolib freakout as the city is on the verge of electing a progressive YIMBY mayor in @janeese4dc.bsky.social is honestly so funny. we saw these types in NYC pull the exact same nonsense with Zohran last year and they clearly learned nothing

Hot off the press, my op-ed in MSNOW on Trump’s budget request. Proud of this one, but particularly happy they let me keep the final paragraph with only light editing. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

An LLM is nothing like a sewing machine, and only a dickhead who devalues textiles could even come up with that. Every single garment is handmade, from the cutting up. We have been attempting to automate for literally a century. It’s not happening. Circular knits are about the pinnacle.

I understand some folks struggle to understand this but: Don't fabricate sources when talking to a researcher. We'll ask for citations and then go look them up. And if you can't provide them but keep talking like your claim is established knowledge? We will shred you like wheat and salt the earth.

NOT to vote when our democracy has ALREADY been threatened once by one candidate is inexcusable. But, as Ben Franklin said: "A republic... if you can keep it." But if our democracy doesn't matter to 2/3 of the voters, maybe we DESERVE to become North Korea/Russia. 🤷‍♂️

But the MOST SIMPLE FACT is that apathy/non-voters had a choice between 2 candidates: only ONE of whom was NOT barred by his failed coup per the 14th Amendment. CHOOSING to vote for an insurrectionist in clear and knowing violation of our Constitution, FOR ANY REASON, is anti-American; and choosing

This long-ago post by djw remains the single best argument against not voting that I have read: www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2012/09/a-sh...

“It’s our state. There’s nothing we can do about *that*. It’s ours, and it’s incredibly dangerous. We absolutely have an affirmative duty to minimize the harm it can do, where we can, and to not let our wish it did even less harm and more good to get in the way of that.”

A great read here of the proposed budged, by a respected economist and policy expert. Worth your time so you can see just how bad Trump cuts to domestic services and general welfare are. If clips of these budget cuts do not appear in Dem campaigns, we need to bankrupt the Democrat consultant class!

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

I agree, but both things are true. 1. Democratic failures and servitude to AIPAC is deep and demands tough reform. 2. The consequence of "non-votes" IS enabling fascism. You can never absolve yourself from that mathematical result. I am not attempting to "browbeat" anyone, it's just a fact.

Iran has more uranium at higher levels of enrichment because Trump tore up the 2015 nuclear agreement! Had we stayed in the JCPOA, they would not have it today.
