I think @dropout.tv should start their own comics company and hire a bunch of the recently fired amazing editors, then make some absolutely amazing comics.
Just saying, they're already in the same nerdy media market.

nonzero chance the FBI is plugging LLMs into wiretap data under the legal theory AI alone can’t implicate 4th amendment concerns (semi-known 702 issue). or the NSA has now hard coded wiretaps across all newly built US data centers due to expanded ECSP scope. or probably both.

"What can Democrats do?"

When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him.

So, you know, that.

I'm remembering what the lead up and beginning of the 2003 Iraq invasion was like, as a regular person living in America, and how utterly different it felt to today and I think the main distinction is that in 2003, the administration felt like they had to bother to lie to us?

NASA once touted the diversity of Artemis II's astronauts. Now? Not so much The Artemis II mission crew contains four people -- including one woman and one Black man, both of whom will be the first on a lunar mission. But NASA hasn't been talking about these milestones much.

The #ArtemisII crew includes the first person of color, the first woman, and the first non-American to (hopefully) fly beyond Earth orbit. You won't hear much on this from NASA, which has rolled back DEI initiatives over the past year.
