i see you're doing something online that you have effortlessly done 100,000 times. would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? w

I mean if the president wants to make drug companies pay me $63,000 to take a normally $4500 drug, I'm not going to fight him on it.

I just think AI is so exciting bc it's a machine that you can get wrong answers from, that yields environmental devastation, and is being forced on all of us

This is an especially stupid argument when the president is a product of the electoral college and not a direct vote of the people.

I mean if this shit just flies, if the democrats have any spine they could just take the military budget and pay off student loans.

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption. My full statement:

She says deploying national guard members untrained in de-escalation would "add fuel to the fire the defendants themselves have started."

#BREAKING A federal judge say she will grant "in part" a request by the state of Illinois for a temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops into the state. U.S. District Judge April Perry is still ruling and has not outlined the details of her order.

Can we get someone to ask the easy follow up of: “can you give me an example in actual dollars?”

it's almost as if the extraction class has hijacked the press to help them use race and gender as wedge issues to distract the plebs from the fact they're destroying consumer protection, corporate oversight, democracy, and labor rights while selling the country for scrap off the back loading dock

I continue to be shocked that people who work in technology would like to throw an unpredictable output into their automation chain.

One day the industry will recognize the drawbacks of AI agents and nondeterministic automation, and rediscover the UNIX philosophy of chaining together small purpose built tools in a low cost and predictable way, otherwise known as shell scripts.

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

Not perfect, but I’ll take fighting over rolling over any day of the week.

We save each other

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Didn't Rupaul already do this?

1.c. and 1.d., Ellis doesn't have a problem with. DOJ is going to ask clients if it's any problem b/c the contempt risk might cause agents to hesitate with enforcement. Plaintiffs' lawyer: "We would ask them to hesitate before shooting priests and journalists."

I mean, obviously. The correct thing to do when DHS or ICE or any of these thugs makes a claim like this one -- the only thing to do, really -- is presume they are lying. Because they always are. They are state-sponsored Klan members, and should be treated accordingly.

You don’t say!

DOJ argues about ICE officers being doxxed. Ellis responds at length, discussing doxxing and threats faced by judges and acknowledging how horrible it is, but says "that doesn't mean that you then get to do this job and be anonymous. ... Under the rule of law, it is important to be transparent."

She adds that violations of ICE agents' rights can't be addressed if they won't identify themselves. She concedes it can be "scary" to be followed home or harassed, but adds, "That doesn't mean you get to do this job and be anonymous."

My goals are simple: one, create the most lethal fighting force in the world and two, make them resent me specifically

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere. Listeners like you keep our mission alive. Protect one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself. Stand with us today. Donate at this link: n.pr/46wamAj

Pope Leo: "Someone who says 'I'm against abortion', but is in favor of the death penalty, is not really pro-life. Someone who says 'I'm against abortion, but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States', I don't know if that's pro-life."

I do wonder when media outlets will get interested in ballooning everyday costs. My family's grocery bill has exploded over the past six months and - unlike when a Democrat is president - this is a non-story.

So is the idea that if someone isnt here legally and they have a medical emergency: too bad? Hospitals need to check citizenship papers before administering emergency care?

perhaps instead of cowering under a blanket labeled "health care," democrats should respond and advance on the issues that move people. this, of course, would require a foundation of conviction and principle, which may be asking too much of the party's leadership and strategists.

It feels like this is becoming a more common mass shooter profile: Someone who's interested in politics but not as a vehicle to express clear values or a coherent viewpoint. He just wants to mock anyone who takes it seriously.

@kenklippenstein.bsky.social with the receipts, actually talking to the shooter's friends. Surprise! Not the left, or even MAGA. Another white kid who spent countless hours online and "was an edgelord who wanted someone to get blamed … to rile people up.” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

Ultimately, when you think about it, since death's hand always hovers over us, can anyone of us really have any rights at all? Anyway, I'm going to be over here doing a $6.2 billion merger.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

i think that if the FCC threatened to revoke ABC’s license unless it replaced Jimmy Kimmel with Kevin Hart to diversify the network, Ilya Shapiro would be able to identify the issue here

Honestly folks. The bluster & bullying & “how dare they say that?,” & silencing, & censoring? It’s weakness x 10. If you’re really strong, jokes don’t matter. Only if you’re banking on fear to give you power do jokes matter. That’s why authoritarians HATE being poked fun at. No fear=no power.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

This is an important time to remember that responsibility is not a zero-sum game — recognizing one person’s fault does not necessarily diminish another person’s. The Trump administration is fascist. And ABC cynically caved and abandoned American values for money. Both are worthy of your contempt.

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

One of my favorite jokes is from Lenny Bruce. In the 60's, there was a comedian named Vaughn Meader who got famous doing a JFK impersonation. His first show after Kennedy got shot, Bruce came out on stage and his first words were, "Poor Vaughn Meader." Just thought of that for no reason.

Fwiw, I’d estimate that about 75% of the hate mail I’ve gotten since my column is coming from people who didn’t know who Charlie Kirk was before he got shot. I mean, literally knew nothing about him.

Beyond cancelling Kimmel's show are about 200 writers and crew members in LA who just lost their full time gig.

Shocked but not surprised to learn how many ~titans of industry~ who probably think of themselves as brave ballsy businessmen are actually cowardly pieces of shit when it counts.

Far more dangerous than Trump, I think, is how quickly the last eight months have pulled back the curtain on America's elites and shown everyone how venal, how cowardly and how utterly mediocre the foundation of our society has been.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

/2 Promoting civic ignorance is an absolutely central component of the project of Trumpism.

donald trump and the white nationalists that run his government want you to think that slavery was just fine www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
