I think the second it really hit that they didn't get it was when one of them introduced ai as something you could use to generate fanfic like - do you understand why people write fanfic???

This is the dumbest bill I've seen in a while. This is (badly rendered in the long title, full text not available yet) the formula for Easter. The House wants to fly the flag at half staff for *Jesus*.

As recent articles have pointed out, extreme urgency and existential dread are terms that AI use a lot folks who succumb to the idea that they have a genius new idea that AI assures them they should make a business out of talk about these terms This is AI psychosis convincing techbros its needed

This weekend and always, NO LILIES FOR KITTIES. www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

Adam means that she is the daughter of immigrants, but it is worth emphasizing that *every* U.S. citizen who has not been naturalized is a birthright citizen, either by the 14th Amendment or by statute.

Please remember when you swim in the ocean: 200 meters below you, there is a layer of fish that stretches all around the world. It is so dense, that when it was discovered during WWII it scared the navy so bad they bombed it. This is the ocean's thin inner shell of fish [🧵]

Just so everyone knows, the Solicitor General straight up lied about the 1921 law review article he kept talking about. quick thread:

🚨 New from me @therealnews.com ‘Don’t be a snitch’: US postal workers side with communities over collaboration with ICE I speak with Connor Mauche, a letter carrier in New York and a shop steward for Branch 3 of the National Association of Letter Carriers therealnews.com/us-postal-wo...

Still think it's weird that if a Chief Justice dies or retires or w/e, the sitting President gets to just… choose a whole new one. Like, not even choosing from the rest of the bench! they get to just pick Anybody who'll serve in that role setting the tone & pace of SCOTUS for the rest of their lives

Match, match, we’re matching donations today! Match, match, four times your donation today! KHJN has a 4X match today for donations to fund abortion and gender affirming care in Kentucky. Turn a $5 donation into $20 of bodily autonomy! fund.nnaf.org/fundraiser/7...

Here's everything this bill targets.

When the birthright citizenship decision comes out, people will say it could never have gone any other way, that the law was obvious. But the mere fact that SCOTUS took on the case is evidence enough that we are living in a time of democratic precarity.

This country is going to continue being fatally foolhardy in the Middle East until we are destroyed/humanity is destroyed. This might end up leading to both.

We should remember part of humanity is also generating complete nonsense. I'd like to see AI wake up at 1am with a vision of a sitcom about Dracula who has two pomeranians, one liberal and one conservative, with a theme song that includes the lyric "it's a two cup teacup politics dust up."

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

the correct way to celebrate april fool's day is to surprise your favorite artists by tipping them

The federal Indian law discussions were painful. The Justices talked about Native peoples as if they were some distant past problem and the Solicitor General outright admitted that he didn’t even think about how the administration’s position would affect their citizenship. Not sure what else to say.

Correction: I have just learned that he left 13 minutes into Wang's arguments, presumably having hit the limit of time he can spend in a room full of people in which he has not been named, acknowledged, or praised

I'm in favor of having data on things like this, but this is absolutely one of those situations where the findings fall into the category of "least surprising thing possible."

Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write

Most plausible reason they took it.

"If AI revenues do not keep pace with debt service obligations, defaults will not remain isolated at the borrower level. They will migrate up and down the capital stack, producing sustained litigation among issuers, bondholders, lenders, sponsors, SPVs, and, ultimately, bankruptcy estates."

I really recommend this litigation risk assessment drafted by Quinn Emanuel. Especially parts V and VI. A pretty significant chunk of the AI biz is starting to look like the real estate debt market in 2007. Not to mention the circular contracts between companies.

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

Most of the central cast in the current version of ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL, with possible exception of Tristan. The whole series is about balancing kindness and ethics. No one’s perfect but they all strive to make the best choices they can.

Excuse me, what did you just say? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY??? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

Pizza is bread with stuff on it. Do whatever you want.

Fun fact, most catholics get yelled at by the pope exactly zero times in their whole lives but Censures Georg here has managed it like five times in six years

It bounced off her arm and landed at my feet, so I felt it was rightfully hers. And we already have one. And I prefer kids get things like this at games.

made a bucket list

"...even a single interaction with sycophantic AI reduced participants’ willingness to take responsibility and repair interpersonal conflicts, while increasing their own conviction that they were right."

Mrs. Charles had a jersey shaped towel thrown at her during intermission. We gave if to the girl.

The teenage girl sitting in front of us is scoring the game, just for herself. Perhaps an @alisonl.bsky.social in the making?

And in horrifying news, Idaho's governor has signed the felony bathroom ban, with 5 year penalties for second offense bathroom usage, into law. This is the most significant criminalization of trans people to date. On trans day of visibility no less. It will require a new "Do not travel" warning.

Yes it reads like I'm being asked to give a deposition by an attorney representing the local owl community, but it's actually just an email from a fact-checker inquiring about what will be a very fun forthcoming news story that I'll share when published.

Lotta people think ‘Community Defense’ is just about guns and preparing to do violence Sometimes Community Defense is helping a trans person do laundry at their apartment complex where they’ve been receiving targeted harassment and threats We keep us safe

NEW: Arizona will challenge President Donald Trump's executive order on mail-in ballots in court. Secretary of State Adrian Fontes says he's working with Attorney General Kris Mayes, and that he will "not let this order stand without a fight." Both are Democrats.

It’s junior hockey night! But, you say, didn’t we already have the last home game of the season? Yes…and then they slipped into the playoffs with their penultimate game of the season. And since they’re likely the only one of our teams who’ll make the playoffs this year, we had to be here.

All the news today caused the major outlets to forget that we are taking the first human flight to the moon tomorrow in >50 years! I think about all the wonder & inspiration that came from the Apollo and Voyager missions & how we are missing that now bc of all the terrible things happening. 🔭🚀

When Midway Blitz ramped down late last year, federal officials asserted that they weren't done with the Trump admin's mass deportation campaign in Chicagoland. Activity has yet to reach the heights of last fall, but true to their word, ICE never left. My latest, for @southsideweekly.bsky.social:

"You don't dress fem enough to be nonbinary" Okay cool. Fine. Wasn't a goal of mine but... ... I'm from the Pacific Northwest, if you think the women in my life don't mostly wear just the holy quadrinity of Jeans, flannels, hoodies, and sweatpants then you aren't from 'round here, bud.

so i don't live there now but i am From Philly, it's meaningfully part of me even 20+ years out and i'm not into hockey but this guy has transcended mere hockey mascot, imo. i've been thinking about this kind of treatment for him basically since go & especially since they doubled down on the flag-

Just a few days ago, America saw the biggest public political demonstration in the nation's history. 8 million people across the country. Virtually no violence, no incidents of any kind. An absolutely remarkable phenomenon. I'm reminding you because the media's forgotten already.

This, and that's how I read it. The wording was not as precise as would have been ideal, but an awful lot of people revealed poor or overly hasty reading comprehension over this.

I wonder if this will destabilize the Gulf, and I am not joking

Here's the memorandum enjoining Trump from building the ballroom: "The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of First Families. He is not, however, the owner!"

It would have been great to get this opinion before he demolished the East Wing, but no one moved fast enough. It's a metaphor for his entire administration.
