Translation: they are proposing a bill that says you cannot under any circumstances use a computer for any purpose without allowing the United States government continuous monitoring and a backdoor
Stop buying the claim that Trump is obsessed with 2020; we already have eyewitnesses who say he knows he lost.
What he *is* obsessed with is (a) the narrative of 2020, and *far* more importantly (b) how that election can be leveraged to steal 2026 and 2028 and end our democracy.

Thanks for following this body of work, it was an inspiring project for me!

hey guys i think the company that named itself after an evil wizard's orb might be the bad guys
Searing opinion from a federal judge on Long Island, who describes "police state"-like tactics by ICE to arrest peopleand draw up after-the-fact warrants.
He says DOJ is damaging its credibility with the courts by trying to shield ICE from scrutiny. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Okay, so I've been staring at this for an extended time.
Claire, this is LOVELY. 🥰🥰
Hand holding a small black and white ink and brush drawing of a woodland pathway.
Good morning.
I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines.
Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."
Breathe. Spend the first while just relaxing in not having to worry about money. (Let's be real. I'd be basking in that the whole time.) Then I'd knit another wedding ring shawl.
Oh and learn a language!
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
Paladin: Is he up against the wall?
DM: Yeah, I'll give you flanking with the wall. He's surrounded.
The covid amnesia shell game happened DESPITE THE DATA, in part bc we never had a reckoning or real memorialization
The *moment* we replace this regime, they will memory-hole everything they did. If we don't keep clear records and then make them into public memory, they'll get away with it.
I love the concept of fandom in-laws. Like, oh, I don't go here, but my friend does. I couldn't tell you the plot but I know there's a minor controversy in the community about whether the second male lead is a twink or a twunk, and how that affects his breedability.
Me @ kdrama.
My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.
A new anti-trans law in Kansas effectively forces trans voters to obtain new documents with inaccurate gender markers, or abstain from voting. “We either won’t be able to vote or participate in public life, or we change our documents.”
The president’s new attorney general today swore that not one single more Epstein file would be released. This is probably because the last AG got fired because she released credible allegations against the president by a 13-year-old child.
AI is profoundly unpopular. A recent NBC News poll found that among 18-34 year-olds, AI's net favorability rating is -44. *Negative 44*. Those are basically serial killer numbers. It's not much better among women 18-49. (Men over 50 and upper class are the only ones who like AI, and just barely.)
The DOJ just asked a federal appeals court to throw out the convictions of 12 Proud Boys and Oath Keepers members who were found guilty of crimes connected to the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
Someone is dying in ICE custody EVERY WEEK.
And that doesn't even include the American citizens ICE has killed in the middle of our streets in broad daylight.
It could not be more clear, ICE needs guardrails, not a blank check from Congress.
WELL NOW, would you look at that?
A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.
Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's an edition of Red Willow Spirit for markers that have likely passed, and for an unsettled and unsettling season that seems unsure what it should be: wingssilverwork.com/red-willow-s....
My mostly asleep brain telling stories to itself: You found it! The prince's hula hoop!
Me, suddenly paying attention: ?????
My brain: IDK, man, I was asleep.
When you drop a bomb on civilians, I think that’s murder. I don’t really care for any justifications. They’re people. The enormity of the loss is devastating and it’s easier for some people to look away. But for other people, that’s their family. Their children. It’s just sickening and so wrong.
Quid pro whoa. #eastwing #ArcelorMittal
Ok I'm bored and want to procrastinate work so let's do a thread instead. Wanna hear a story?
Alright then, story it is. So gather around, children, because now we're going to talk about the most important science book you've probably never heard of.
Ready? Off we go, then.
A tiefling named Lehala for a commissioner! After a little time off, naturally tieflings are the best way to get back into the swing of things! #dnd

All of them just announced layoffs—after getting huge corporate tax breaks last year.
We're still waiting for the responses to the letters @warren.senate.gov sent them demanding answers.
a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.
a world without trans people has never existed and never will
