The Waiting - original art

Reject AI and annoy a billionaire.

My favorite genre of tiktok lately is the ones where men learn really basic facts about women's experience of the world. I just saw one where these guys were told about how women couldn't get their own credit cards until 1975, and they were both just FLOORED.

This is such a good idea

Yes, we spend as much as double as comparable economies with the same or worse outcomes, not to mention the stress and bankruptcies which don’t happen in almost any case where universal/etc coverage exists. www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collec...

Rep. Debbie Dingell delivered a scorching indictment of the GOP, bluntly declaring that Republicans “don’t give a shit about Americans” as they willingly allow vital ACA tax credits to expire. Dingell, a Medicare for All supporter, exposed the callousness of conservative inaction.

The Michigan Supreme Court is considering a rule that would bar ICE from snatching undocumented people at courthouses. Here’s what you can do to help this proposal become law: How to leave a comment: www.courts.michigan.gov/rules-admini...

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

GDI I finally leave Catholocism behind and then it gets cool?!

The reason you see AI pushed so hard in products, ads and promoted posts is that they know people don't WANT to use it but they are desperate to recoup on their millions in investments. They wouldn't be over-saturating your feed with AI tools if people were buying these things on their own.

Keep your eyes peeled…

DC absolutely needs statehood so that the people who live there aren't ruled by goons they never elected. A genuine ongoing scandal and absolute betrayal of the principles of the country.

Primary all these fuckers from the left. ALL of them, and fuck the DNC with them.

#RVA ! @francescalyn.bsky.social and I are hosting ANIMATE this Thursday at Basic City Beer Co.! We will have local animators and our feature film is "Twice Upon A Time". Totally free, kids are welcome at the brewery!

To process those applications again is going to cost so much time and money. They are spending money to starve people. And given the level of corruption, I have no doubt that applications with names indicating certain backgrounds will be conveniently "misplaced" for weeks if not months or years.

METAL AF OK

No one can afford health insurance that doesn't deliver health. LOSE INSURANCE! DEMAND UNIVERSAL, single-payer healthcare for ALL!

Internal documents and former company executives revealed how Cigna doctors rejected patients’ claims without opening their files. “We literally click and submit,” one former company doctor said. (Published March 2023 w/ @capitolforum.bsky.social)

Why you should continue to get the COVID-19 vaccine every year!

UPDATE — With Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Chair Emerita of the Congressional Progressive Caucus), there are now at least 12 congressional Democrats, 15 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 8 Democratic candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

My Apple Pencil has inexplicably died. It’s connecting to the Bluetooth, is 100% charged, and the tip is screwed on. I need it to finish designing the oracle deck asap. I guess I’m ordering a new one, but I can’t swing the cost rn. 😖 Can I get some eyes on my shop? www.kellymckernan.com/shop

BREAKING: Today's emails contradict Ghislaine Maxwell's interview with Todd Blanche. She said she never saw Trump at Epstein's house. In a newly released 2011 email Epstein tells Maxwell that Trump spent time with a victim at Epstein's house.

Continue to call Senators and Demand the DO NOT vote for the CR without addition of protection of the ACA subsidies. Demand they run out the clock with a full and robust debate of 30 hours. As of 7: 10 this evening Status of proceedings: part 2

This is what we need to be demanding and holding our elected officials feet to the fire to get!

And tell Democrats to hold full and robust debate for full 30 hours and vote no across the entire party on the CR at the end of that period! No caving, you 8 chicken shits!

Just make it exist first.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.

States should continue to provide benefits and tell Trump to sue them, for a change.

Has anyone else noticed that their phone's keyboards are getting... stupider? My phone actually AVOIDS capitalizing "i" and sometimes I'll need to edit an entire paragraph after the fact because I'll manually type in a difficult word and it'll change it. My going theory is that this is modern AI.

They're hiding the resegregation of the tech industry. www.wired.com/story/google...

Exhibit #2625 on Dems winning the politics of the shutdown fight. Check out this polling from @groundwork.bsky.social:

Where is Chuck Schumer? He has to be behind all of this.

I’m a SNAP recipient and I’m asking you if you live in any of the following states to call your representative and tell them to HOLD THE DAMN LINE We aren’t going through all of this for them to fold. These are the at risk ones. If one of them is yours, call! /

Yet another digital comic book app, Sweet Shop, launched its beta today with 24 publishers. Biggest selling point, per the press release? "As part of their commitment to the hard work of creators and publishers, Sweet Shop does not accept AI comics." sweetshop.app

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free: (Published 2019)

“Everybody I know is screwed if health insurance premiums go up.” That's what's at stake in this shutdown. No. I will not vote for a budget that doubles premiums. I will not vote for a budget that makes the largest cut to Medicaid in history. Democrats must not cave.
