Absolutely outrageous Virginia Supreme Court invalidated redistricting referendum approved by the voters when voters haven’t been able to weigh in on a single gerrymander passed in red states

I don't always fully intuit how math can be bent and stretched to explore new ideas or challenge assumptions, but it is fascinating to read about the different angles of math and physics people are exploring.

Love spring time

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

Mayor Mamdani has to be one of the most effective defenses against the damage the current administration has done to the perception that the US is welcoming to immigrants and is a place where an immigrant can find success and have an impact.

This is an excellent video and something we will need to deal with for the indefinite future. I don't quite understand when people want it to not exist. Even calling it for it to be illegal requires a pragmatic enforcement policy. It's a very tricky situation.

This is exactly how AI psychosis starts because this kinda technology doesn't not need to exist and be easily accessible. If she can do this benign video on Instagram, imagine what folks with malicious intentions are doing.

I find it frustrating to know that, in the not-too-distant future, you will not be able to distinguish a person from a bot on social media. Maybe at all? Possibly with enough investigation, but I kind of doubt it. It's interesting to think about how you could prevent this.

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

These are war crimes. At what point do Republicans break ranks? How far would they let him go?

Under the Geneva Conventions and related frameworks, deliberately targeting civilian objects, incl. power plants, bridges, & water systems not being used for military purposes, constitutes a war crime. Trump telegraphs war crimes in profanity-filled Easter threat www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

WAR DON'T SEX CRIMES HIDE CRIMES

That's my hometown!

Holy New York.

The details here are pretty bad. Hegesth personally intervened after the military officers in charge refused to block the promotion. The officer was told "President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events" by Hegseth's Chief of Staff.

What might building software look like in the Star Trek universe? Our team at CodeYam, especially my co-founder @jaredcosulich.bsky.social, has a bit of a superpower: blending imagination (often influenced by science fiction, fantasy, and history) with deep, pragmatic problem solving.

It’s not great yall "Even before the recent cold spell, more than a million households across New York were two months or more behind on their energy bills, totaling $1.84 billion in debt, more than double what was owed before the pandemic, state lawmakers said in December. "

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

We need a phrase, akin to the "uncanny valley" to describe a technological landscape that is far more complex and nuanced than we expected. Self-driving cars are insane! - but they can't handle weather. AI is insane! - but it still struggles to remember things you talked about 10 minutes ago.

I've been really surprised by the "SAAS is dead" rhetoric around this. SAAS isn't dead. AI isn't replacing thoughtful people talking to customers and creating products that serve their needs across a wide range of situations. Any platitudes in that direction are selling a bridge.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran. It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades. Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties. 175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

According to DOGE flunky, a documentary about the experiences of Jewish women's slave labor during the Holocaust is "inherently discriminatory." Come ON.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

WAR CRIME BY THE US. An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US. The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship. THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown. This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.

god help me and fuck Chuck Schumer, but it's genuinely bullshit that Schumer is the key image here. it was a party line vote, with Schumer voting against. only Dem that broke ranks was Fetterman, of course.

One of my favorite parts of last night’s election results. The only Democratic talking point should be: we don’t abandon anyone.

Over on Twitter, the 60 Minutes account promoting this story just straight up lies and says Iran has nuclear weapons. Bari Weiss is such a propagandist.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

Two days into the war: - three F-15s shot down - U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia in flames - six U.S. service members confirmed dead; more wounded - State Department tells Americans to flee the entire Middle East

UPDATE: Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal says that "ICE used a phony missing persons bulletin for a 5 year old girl," to lie and get into a Columbia residential building and detain a student. "It is unconfirmed at this time whether they impersonated an officer to do so," he adds.

“I miss my school and my friends I feel bad since when I came here to this Place, because I have been here too long,” wrote 9-year-old Susej, who said she had been held at Dilley detention center for more than 50 days.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

I don't want or need a president that silences the conversations that protect people that aren't "culturally normal.🤡" That's how fascists chip away at the base of good people. I do want and need a president that will prioritize protecting the most vulnerable. That's how you protect people.

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Well, shit. This is batshit. This is bullshit. Even *posting* that I think this is bullshit is... I can't even. (I have a green card) www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

It sure seems like when we have our basic needs met, and don't have to hustle to survive, humans will almost always choose to create art. And there is a lot of evidence that when a society decides to honor and promote art and artists, everyone who lives there is measurably happier.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude
