In 24 hours, Republicans have blocked FIVE attempts from Democrats to fund TSA, FEMA, our cyber defenses, & Coast Guard while talks continue to rein in ICE & Border Patrol.

Republicans are holding TSA agents' paychecks hostage so they can give more $ to ICE, with no reforms.

Also, in Idiocracy, they were JUST stupid. They were still more or less decent people, but morons. This administration is stupid and evil.

Wonder how many total viewers they get. I mean the Marshals fandom and the FBI fandom may not be a single circle but I assume significant overlap in the Venn diagram.

I had the same reaction initially but read the article. She asked for this to happen and created a new role for herself still at Bluesky, and has a say in who replaces her. I don’t think this is necessarily an indicator of pending enshittification.

Thank you! I always like to be sure I’m not being a dumbshit (insofar as I can) by leaving room for what I don’t know.

WHY IS EVERY PAPER ON EARTH USING SCHUMER’S PICTURE WHEN HE LOST ON A PARTY-LINE VOTE??

THUNE IS THE FACE OF THIS, NOT SCHUMER.

I MEAN, COME ON.

Are the American flags backwards on uniforms or was AI trained on mirror selfies of people wearing them?

Don’t punish people for the behaviors you want to see.

And even if they do leave, fuck em. There is a belief that billionaires somehow magically create wealth rather than rightly being seen as parasites. Once the parasite leaves, the host body can thrive unimpeded by the unending hunger of said parasite. There is a reason they are here in first place.

On a completely unrelated note, aren’t steroids bad for the heart?

Agree. It’s fantastic and the horror elements are relatively mild.

We all have a torch to carry that only we can carry. Our job is to carry it. Mitigating climate change is an extremely worthy torch. Something like 60% of emissions come from transportation. It’s a good fight worth having!

@edzitron.com I don’t know what this means in any real sense but it seems to support your arguments about the AI time bomb.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

I don’t mind a surgeon general open to psilocybin, so long as they also believe in MRNA vaccines and germ theory etc. The alt health realm has some okay concepts, it’s just when you extrapolate vibes into treatments we have a problem. Are shrooms good for PTSD? Likely. Covid? Not a fucking chance.

A recently released USFWS document permits ranchers in Catron County, NM, to kill any endangered Mexican gray wolf within two grazing allotments near Quemado.

Several wolf families are in the area, including a likely pregnant, genetically valuable female from the Elk Horn pack.

Tire-related chemical is largely responsible for adult coho salmon deaths in urban streams A team led by researchers at UW Tacoma, UW and Washington State University Puyallup has discovered a chemical that kills coho salmon in urban streams before the fish can spawn.

It’s the tires (too much transportation near rivers), not sea lions. Blaming them for existing in their own ecosystem while ignoring human activity seems stupid.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Could this possibly be because those selfsame tech/AI folks can’t really articulate what it is capable of?

Even the most polished LLM ads are little more than a slightly smarter Ask Jeeves or a roided out Siri.

We don’t know what AI is good for because neither do its creators.

They barely have reverence for humans, let alone animals. Just another transactional relationship, an accessory to support their internal narrative that they are, in fact, decent when every bit of evidence points to the contrary.
