Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50
Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

Fuck ICE
Good morning to everyone except my cat who decided to knock my water on my face to wake me up
lots of political space to convert those “not sures” into somewhat supports and those “somewhat supports” into strongly supports on eliminating ICE. also, with a funding battle coming up, plenty of political space to say “no government funding unless we claw back last year’s new ICE funding”

And hey now would be a great time to get involved with your local political grassroots orgs. Check out your local Democratic Socialists of America chapter and see what you can do.
It's easy and understandable to feel helpless right now, and getting involved is a great way to fight that.

There's a certain irony to waking up and finding out that the people who fired me because MAGA pressured them to aren't getting paid today also because of MAGA.
Donald Trump sure seems to be.
Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.
this exists it is called thinking
I was fired last Friday for sharing my personal political opinion on my social media account, in no way officiated with my employer. I was doxxed, the CK nuts found out where I worked and led a massive campaign against me. BPA fired me due to political pressure. Be careful out there.

Let's all to take a deep breath & understand that we have reached the phase in fascism where if they want to declare you a criminal, you are a criminal. You can not magically avoid it, or do exactly the right thing to stay off the list. Fascism must always have enemies, and one day you will be one.
Yep. The federal government fired me on Friday for exactly this.
Now I'm focusing on a couple pathways I have out of the country for good. I have absolutely no interest or inclination in maintaining loyalty to a country whose response to exercising political free speech is this. 🧵 7/7
But it's over, it's done. My federal ID and laptop have been returned. I loved being here so much my plan was to hang in until the federal hiring freeze was over. I had two different leaders help position me for options when those doors reopened. 🧵 6/7
They're amazing people and I want to cry when I think about not being able to work with a team that's gone above and beyond for me repeatedly. But it's clear that BPA as an institution has no similar interest. Their response to me receiving multiple death threats was to hang me out to dry. 🧵 5/7
I've had multiple current BPA employees reach out telling me they're hearing rumors about it at work. They're offering to write letters of recommendation, sending job leads, helping me with info on how to leave the country without prompting. 🧵 4/7
Rather than a note reminding me to adjust this as would be the typical next step, this was used as an excuse to terminate me. 🧵 3/7
My office information was dug up and hundreds of people called BPA with death threats demanding I was let go. BPA responded by finding a loophole to dismiss me under: my LinkedIn profile didn't note I was a contractor. 🧵 2/7
With all the pieces gathered, my very sudden dismissal from BPA despite reassurances three hours prior makes a lot more sense.
There was an entire doxxing campaign against me on Twitter. It had over 15k likes, shares and comments. 🧵 1/7
So I got doxxed by Charlie Kirk cultists, BPA fired me about it, and now I probably have to move out of the state in the next three months. ✌️
He's now confirmed as dead. He'll get the same level of sympathy from me that he and his team had for the kids at Parkland and Sandy Hook.
“I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” -Charlie Kirk

They wanted this too
Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference. Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false: If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false. Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out
Hey Firefox users.
