The vibes are awfully familiar.

Democracy is when counties are equally represented no matter their number of residents. Dictatorship is when you count the votes of urban elites the same as those of honest rural farmer homespun did I say honest Christian loyal original heritage American…

Republicans voted for people who wanted to “traumatize the federal workforce” and then are shocked when people from NOVA absolutely resent them for it.

You can’t do that to rural voters! What are they, black people? bsky.app/profile/coll...

"got to retcon you in my life” 🎺🎷

Dunked on this yesterday but in reality the first order of business needs to be punishment. I'm not kidding. We can't start fixing anything until we punish, and punish hard, the people who put us here. That needs to be done to send a message. And if we don't punish, nothing else will matter.

I generally agree with most of the things in this, but I still think the limited use cases of LLMs are more restrictive than it proposes, because its capacity for hallucination means there's little point in using it when you need to check the results anyways and could have just done it yourself

so i actually wrote this www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/united...

Posting this in the hopes it can be manifested: Palantir's greatest source of profit comes from underpaying its so-called "forward-deployed engineers." They are paid well, but only a fraction of their value to the company. They should be encouraged to unionize.

(1/3) @humanrightsfirst.org's ICE Flight Monitor March 2026 report reveals continued escalation of Trump's cruel and lawless deportation campaign.

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

Of course Trump is looting our tax contributions: the Trump family fortune is based on looting our tax $. Trump owes his political career to mass theft of public $: If his father hadn't stolen $413,000,000 by ripping off federal housing funds, plus tax evasion, there'd be no POTUS Trump.

During the Ethics as Information Architecture sesh, Christian Crumlish spoke on how embedding ethics into AI should be approached with IA thinking to create systems that are inherently safer, more transparent, and aligned with human intent. #IAC26 #InformationArchitecture @xianlandia.com

I'll co-endorse Ghost. Good system.

they, uh, “fixed” it?

happy vernal equinox to those who celebrate

HOT DAMN HOT DAMN!!!

Happy tyrant assassination day!

Probably shouldn’t surprise me that Superhuman, the company that owns Grammarly is using people’s names and (alleged) expertise without their permission or payment, given that Superhuman also has the mail client that tracked email openings and leaked location data. A consistent pattern of lapses.

someone at the pentagon frantically typing “Claude, open the strait of Hormuz for me, quickest possible strategy, make no mistakes.”

That's straight up Murder.

Probably a mistake to put a shitposting drunk with a murder fetish in charge of our military.

well, they can’t both be

inspired by @danhon.com, ask me anything: ngl.link/xian40666

Time to dust off my “He lied us into war” sign.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

not sure how I feel about this

Florida just cut off HIV meds for 16,000 people.

Reminder that Republicans literally cut Medicaid and SNAP to pay for a boost in military spending ahead of this.

“How should we interpret, today, what is going on right in front of our eyes? By seeing it clearly, calling it out, and opposing it. Before it is too late.” Worth reading:

ICE killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a U.S. citizen—and you likely haven’t heard about it because DHS has been covering it up for nearly a year. My heart breaks for his family, who deserve immediate answers and an independent investigation into his death. ICE will be held accountable.

These are all adult cops escalating into violence against teenagers. Many of the students are now being held by the cops who assaulted them.

BREAKING: Majestic Realty, who owns one of the warehouses ICE was planning to purchase to create a detention camp, announced today that it would not sell to the agency. More at DMagazine.com shortly.

New hard data show the same pattern of intense anti-Trump backlash that polls do. Protests against Trump are happening at 4x the rate as 2017-18, and special election swings offer more data on the same point www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-back...

She won’t look back at him. THE DOW IS ABOVE 50,000!!

This project - tracking DHS's effort to build a massive detainment system - is among the most consequential acts of resistance right now. Imagine an alternative history where the Third Reich had faced organized, angry local resistance in every place they tried to build a concentration camp. 1/

Somehow Musk was in the Epstein files talking about attending wild parties at the island, and is now still head of his companies and posting on Twitter that people investigate the Epstein files and that white people are the superior race.

I'm going to need you to sit down and read this headline slowly

Arundhati Roy’s entire writing career (and life) have been derailed and defined by her courage to confront the politics of state harm, she is a magnificent fucking gem and she is right. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/fe...

Good time to remember that if we had just hired 1000 immigration judges instead of spending 50 billion on ICE, this all would have sorted itself out on its own in 3-4 years.

reminds of that old bible story of how people were hungry and jesus conjured himself a security detail bsky.app/profile/carl...

I'm not believing this until I hear from people in the streets of MN and neither should you

feels like i should re-post this every few weeks

Trump take job

I heard y'all wanted a thread on "El Apagón"

When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy. If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.
