I got sent a survey asking why my usage had stopped. They're probably bleeding.
One pound of ground beef now costs more on average than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.

How incredibly predictable that Bondi and Noem made absolute bafoons of themselves on behalf of Trump, only to learn that there’s no amount of cruelty toward others that could buy them safety in a room full of misogynists.
Movie screen on airplane is the only use case that ever appealed.
THIS. The problem with the left wing critique of AI is that it's not far enough to the left.
Robert Mueller has died.
During the first Trump administration, the Mueller investigation represented the centrist fantasy that the so-called Justice Department could halt the slide into fascism.
In fact, the anticipated reckoning, dubbed "Mueller Time," never arrived.
It really is up to us.

Dear maga: no bitching now when people celebrate your God Emperor’s demise. Thems the rules.
I don't want it. I want to be offered it and turn it down.
This is stupid. The whole point is you can get these machines to say basically whatever you want. Pretending that it's profound that it "agrees with" you suggests you don't know what you're doing.
The guide is nine steps. It helps you know who to invite, run the meal, guide the conversation, and follow up afterward. You pull it up on your phone and it walks you through the whole evening. A community leader speaks from inside the work. You never have to pitch anyone.
I put together a guide for people doing mutual aid work who want to gather the people they care about, deepen their shared commitment, and raise money for the work that matters most. It walks you through hosting a dinner that builds community and lets the money follow.

From the 90s onward.
The underlying thing making democracy impossible is the vast fortunes of the extremely rich and any Democrat unwilling to support wealth taxes is not interested in addressing America’s biggest problem.

Let's not pretend this is anything other than the fact she featured herself, not Trump, in the ad campaign.
War is peace.
I have liked Matthews. The loss was even softened a little by being happy for him. But there's no excuse for today. He should be traded.
$20 says the women have the strength not to go.
I hope this ends homework, essays... Anything other than class discussion and exams.
Counter to the trend, nothing shows you the very real limits of AI faster than trying to vibe code something complicated.
It was here in Europe where the ideas that planted the seeds of liberty that changed the world were born. It was here in Europe where the world – which gave the world the rule of law, the universities, and the scientific revolution. It was this continent that produced the genius of Mozart and Beethoven, of Dante and Shakespeare, of Michelangelo and Da Vinci, of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. And this is the place where the vaulted ceilings of the Sistine Chapel and the towering spires of the great cathedral in Cologne, they testify not just to the greatness of our past or to a faith in God that inspired these marvels. They foreshadow the wonders that await us in our future. But only if we are unapologetic in our heritage and proud of this common inheritance can we together begin the work of envisioning and shaping our economic and our political future.
Rubio's MSC speech is fascism at its most eloquent. When it's still trying to be "crypto-" and be invited to supper. It's textbook. I mean... www.state.gov/releases/off...
This is from Rubio's MSC speech. It's such a *ridiculous* frame. That American capitalists were the victims of neoliberal globalization vs. the perpetrators and beneficiaries. Fascists' alternating assertions of weakness and strength give you whiplash.
She understands power.
STAR TRIBUNE: “No Humanity” in the detention centers. Overcrowded cells where immigrants “have to take turns lying down”
Private prisons raking in billions while they cut costs, feed them little, ignore health issues.
All in our name. 🇺🇸

It’s good that people are learning that making people promise to be peaceful is pointless; I really wish folks’ kids didn’t get gassed though.
These pigs are here to inflict terror, they’re not playing by any rules. We told everyone.
...oh, and building encrypted messaging protocols to talk to each other all while joining the Sovereign movement to build their own data infrastructure.
My favorite posts from yesterday were where they were forming unions, launching mutual aid networks, spinning up online marketplaces, and advocating grind culture.
Now they are unionizing.
