Reminds me of one of my favorite memes:
Old tweet that says when I was young I thought things wre bad because solutions were complicated and now I'm old and realize things are bad because solutions are simple but will inconvenience affluent people (or those who aspire to be) and religious fanatics.
I didn't save this tweet but somebody did and it feels worth resurfacing
I got yelled at like two days ago for saying "you aren't taking this seriously because you can't imagine your hometown on Bellingcat"
The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
for fucking decades i've had to listen to right wingers jerk off to their fantasies of masked federal agents turning their guns on innocent Americans and then the moment it actually happens they're sniveling boot-licking scum
We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.
Mamdani's Executive Order Number 1, as described in the post.
I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.
Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.
This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default.
And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit
NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.
Biggest technological revolution in our lifetime and it's not AI:
It's not normal for a Defense Secretary to order individual strikes on targets during "combat." I'm sure Hegseth thinks Southern Command is name-checking him to give proper credit, but what they're actually doing is putting in writing exactly who ordered the strike and who's responsible.
What would be great is if Dem members in multiple states showed up at multiple ICE facilities at 10 a.m. tomorrow armed with this injunction.
The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.
Adopting.
Babies.
What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?
This is extremely important
"We welcome PhDs to a round table table discussion from assistant professors who were recently on the job market"
One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!
Don't let them distract you with minor coverage expansion or "public options". Don't accept anymore band-aids on a broken system.
Now is the moment for Medicare for All.
I literally have so many ideas I have to write them down to get them out of my head so I can focus on stuff like laundry.
Ideas aren't the problem.
so basically we’re going to have to figure out how to go back to building systems of knowledge based almost entirely on confirming sources - like you needed to do pre-photograph and video - since all true videos will seem fake and fake videos will seem true
There's a lot of whataboutism regarding Obama's drone strikes (lots to object to there!) from people wholly unaware Trump massively expanded the drone war and killed, give or take, an order of magnitude more people with it, because this was treated as a non-story with hardly any mainstream coverage.
Rand Paul: "Secretary Hegseth said he had no knowledge of this and it did not happen. It was fake news. It didn't happen. And then the next day, from the podium of the WH, they're saying it did happen. So either he was lying to us on Sunday or he's incompetent and didn't know what had happened."
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."
ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.
People who adore the LLM-machine, that by design has no concern for truth, must have no concern for truth
Thread!
Proud to be part of this work.
This month, our members stood up at county budget hearings across four counties in western WI to warn how HR1 (aka One Big Beautiful Bill) will create a fiscal crisis for our county govts and threaten the local services our loved ones rely on every day. Western WI cannot afford HR1.
Hard for me to say how this is different from Fox News's entire business model, except that it's less sophisticated. This is transparently and obviously bad — and Elon should ban these accounts — but the spirit here of trading rage for money is pretty much a lot of right-wing media.
I think Claude Code has achieved AGI
