It was a DDoS attack. Perhaps AI made mitigation more difficult, but that is hard to claim without evidence.

Trump is upset by Mamdani's plan to tax multimillion dollar second homes that are not primary residences in the city because it affects him personally.

And so it begins....

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United.

Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%.

Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit.

But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

Exactly one year ago today:

SpaceX Was Buying Cybertrucks in Bulk. Tesla Didn’t Tell Anyone. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shareholders are about to start asking a pointed question: why did they have to find out from outside reporting that SpaceX was purchasing Cybertrucks in bulk, as Bloomberg is repo...

One more reason not to buy the SpaceX IPO

Judge again halts construction of Trump's White House ballroom, but allows work on underground bunker to proceed The judge said he "cannot possibly agree" with the administration's position that an exception in an earlier ruling allowing for safety measures meant the whole project could proceed.

NEW: Federal judge accuses Trump administration of using fancy footwork to try to sidestep his prior White House ballroom ruling.

So is there a ddos attack or an AI / LLM screwup or what? Anyone know why bsky is down / not working properly?

I'm 5'9" and I hate these monster trucks on the road.

This is one of my favorite YouTube videos of all time. It is the perfect rant that sums up how I feel about the spirit of this age:

I'm not surprised. I'd love to see the numbers for voters over 45, since we're the ones who tend to show up.

👏🏾 We've seen this phenomenon happen in Chicago and Philly as well.

Our young people desperately need in-person third spaces. We didn't do "teen takeovers" and "flash mobs" back in the day because we had a myriad number of places that we could go.

When he did that photo opp holding the Bible at the church he never attended, the first thing that came to my mind was Olivet Discourse, Matthew 24:15:

Yeah, I really really liked Katie Porter in congress but I don't think this is her calling. The only negative I've found regarding Xavier since I started seriously looking was fake news (the scientology lie) but I found LOTS of positives.

I think he actually represents me and my values.

The Glover Family.

It's worth repeating that we are living through the worst "President", Congress and SCOTUS in the history of the United States all at once. Clearly, the Republicans are the problem.

Should be part of his next test.

I’m supporting Xavier Becerra for CA governor. With Swalwell’s ignominious departure, it’s unconscionable that KRON/KTLA has excluded Becerra from their upcoming gubernatorial debate, esp. with the momentum Becerra has amongst progressives. As this Politico graphic notes, he hasn’t received AIPAC $.
