A lot of technological advancement is a double-edged sword.

Vaccines, on the other hand, are just an uncomplicated positive (and often free!). A literal medical miracle, and people are finding reasons to not take them.

Sorry, but if I find out that you hooked an AI agent up to a signal chat you’re in, I’m never trusting you with anything ever again

NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act.

The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."

there's a lot of reason to doubt him!

1. the Nazi tattoo!
2. keeping the Nazi tattoo!
3. lying about the Nazi tattoo!
4. only covering up the Nazi tattoo after backlash!
5. he's written racist and misogynist things on the Internet!
6. HE'S SEEKING MORE POWER & HAS EVERY INCENTIVE TO LIE

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

[PERF] Replace np.column_stack with np.vstack().T by crabby-rathbun Β· Pull Request #31132 Β· matplotlib/matplotlib This PR addresses issue #31130 by replacing specific safe occurrences of np.column_stack with np.vstack().T for better performance. IMPORTANT: This is a more targeted fix than originally proposed. ...

So this is dystopian as hell and I can't believe this is real...

AI agents are now writing takedown blog posts to shame maintainers for not accepting agent-generated PRs.

The Torah of Reproductive Freedom The Jewish Case for Abortion Justice

And if you’re new here, abortion bans are not just a violation of the 14th amendment, but the 1st amendment as wellβ€” both Establishment Clause AND Free Exercise Clause.

You deserve access to abortion care if you are pregnant and do not want to be. Full stop.

Your reasons are your reasons and they are good enough.

Abortion is healthcare and everyone deserves healthcare access.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as β€œpornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict β€œpornography” and what that actually means

In evaluating the whining about β€œdoxxing” β€” by which they mean identifying federal employees who killed someone under color of law - remember this administration cooperates with a large cadre of obedient bootlicker Right media that leaps to the tasks of viciously lying about anyone they kill.

Quite a change to go from "these were domestic terrorists and their killings were totally justified, heroic even" to "no one wants these people killed, how DARE you suggest trump wants this." I wonder if the press will be capable of covering this shameless flailing as a scandal

I am not a normal computer user: I am currently watching the status of a long-running backup restore by having `sudo watch ls -l /proc/$PID/fd` open in a terminal to see what file is being written.

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

OK, right here you're found the problem and please sit with this:

emotions are running very high. emotional intelligence is needed in this moment in addition to logic.

democrats are failing the emotional intelligence test right now and people are mad about it.

If it helps, people are mad at Democrats because many of their social media presences produce comms which address what's happening as though we're simply dealing with the consequences of going along with a bad restaurant recommendation.

The food isn't just bad, we want to shut down the restaurant.

Yes, it’s illegal. Like changing it to Department of War, like ten thousand other things. Part of the Trump strategy is to break the law and convey β€œthe rule of law is weak and feminine and laughable and should be overridden by Our Guy.” Trump is fundamentally anti-law.
