Let's be clear, a number of Dems are also onboard, or fearful of, the AI tech bros agenda. Dem leadership warned not to rock the AI/Crypto agenda. We can't provide cover for Dems scared to do their constituents bidding.

I am not a Mainer and following Platner on Bluesky and a Mainer Reddit. Appalled at the instant negativity to his posts here, most by people who do not live in Maine or actually listen to what he has to say. Those folks are easy blocks.

Bingo! 💯

Knew some MMA fighters years ago, partied with a few at SF Pride (they were straight). One in particular is now a hardcore right-wing podcaster whom I barely recognize. They're in on the grift or they've gotten knocked around too much. Dana White knows what he and his army of fighters are up to.

These same Dems Senators voting no will also tell us we can't afford universal health care. Priorities 🙃

"our expense, but without our say" tepid response, eh?
My take is Dems are on board with this war so long as they are asked first. wish they'd prove me wrong and just say this war must end and should never have been started.

Is there a list of these AI groups so we can get the word out?
It's AI 24/7 here in SF, hard to gauge what others are seeing.

I used to admire @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social
Glad voters see now, rather than later, how willing she is to sell her soul for a Senate seat.

@nbcnews.com creating "news", or shall we say, clickbait?
Pope Leo is doing his job; now do yours and stick to the facts.

Bernie never "left", has been playing the long game.

If Dems controlled all House/Senate seats and Presidency they'd still punt on addressing Citizens United. They complain about time spent on fundraising but in the end the establishment loves being owned. 💰

Great crowd and questions at the @saikatforcongress.bsky.social mixer in Bayview. Shout out to Gumbo Social for hosting. Yum, gumbo!

Slotkin continually proclaims she calls "balls-and-strikes".
If this does get a vote, I wonder where she'd land. hmmm..🤔

gonna be hard to shut down all the copies on YouTube

Roman architecture was heavily painted, we see bleached white cause the paint flaked off. Say yes to COLOR!

non-violence is the way
you know who is looking for any reason to send ICE to SF

You don't plug a surge protector into a surge protector.
States know (or should have) that data center needs exceed their grid capacity. Where was the due diligence during the approval process?

I'm gonna need to read some @davidepstein.bsky.social 👍

can't get this out of my mind from today's episode...
"Wise restraints that make men free."

Harris ain't done shit to help our resistance since her loss. Instead, she focused on her book and softball interviews.
For this San Franciscan, it's a no on Harris, no on Newsom too.

Dem leadership should instruct all to return to DC. Chain yourself to the WH fence, do something, at least make it look like you're doing something. Were the No Kings rallies for naught?

If your response is we need Mike Johnson to do that, get the fuck out of the way and resign.

It's scary that these AI "leaders" cannot document decisions or interactions. Someone should write a meeting summarization tool for them.

Booker is so self-absorbed. People don't buy his tired shtick.

more people should read this; facts are lost in the news churn

Slap a new label on No Labels and you have Third Way.
Pelosi's post-House gig to appear relevant.
This is more of the same 💩

you are an easy block

You are an easy block.

Watching establishment Dems go after Hasan Piker because the Israeli lobbies tell them is wild.

Bondi out. Noem out. Tulsi next?
Sucks to be a woman in this administration.

subredit thread: r/employeesOfOracle 11h ago ragingBull_100 For those who survived - do not push yourself to work harder to mitigate the impact of reduced headcount Our team had a sync up with Sr Director who mentioned that going forward we would need to ramp up our efficiency to make up for the reduced headcount, stretch ourselves a little to meet the committed deliverables yadda yadda. Basically signalling who is left behind needs to pick up the slack of those who were let go. Do not, i repeat do not give even an hour extra of what you would usually give to work. Draw healthy work-life boundaries, go completely offline post office hours, and do not overburden yourself with others' work. This whole fiasco was neither your fault nor of those who left. If you will stretch yourselves to meet the committed targets, to make things work as they used to even before, it will send a signal to your management chain, that this was in fact all for good, and probably there is scope to squeeze out a few more cost cutting measures in the future. If deadlines are not honoured so let it be. Customer SLAs breached? Cost of doing layoffs. Basically the middle management should feel the burn. Let the projects fail or delay, and let them get embarrassed in front of their bosses. Best case scenario - you might get a few new hires eventually to ease out your burden. I'm not even saying to actively sabotage anything. Just work as many hours as you're comfortable, or you used to before the layoffs. It's high time that management pays the price for these decisions. Also if you think doing so puts you at risk of getting laid off the next cycle - open your eyes. High performers, experienced architects - no one was spared, at the end of the day you're just a number in the sheet. If the management decides to let you go, it won't matter how much your team or your manager is dependent on you or your impact, you will be let go.

escalating AI casualties

In the mid-80s my first SF roommate tried "pray away the gay". I've also known many forced/willfully try "conversion therapy".

I can report a 0% success rate although many fucked up folks.
Only benefit was less cockblocking.
