Why would you expect there to be some sort of reckoning after such a catastrophic failure when it's much much easier (and fun) to blame voters?

Up to 60 electronic mail messages a month. Just $7.95. (Source.)

A two page ad. The title reads "Finally, a computer information service you can't outgrow. No matter how hard you try." The left page depicts a shirt ("Shop. But don't drop..."), a striped fish ("Dive deep into aquarium lore..."), a red sports car ("Price a new Mustang..."), a satellite ("Learn how to monitor military satellites..."), a zither ("Find out just what the heck a zither is."), and a globe that shows the Americas twice ("Talk to twice as many people about parallel universes"). The right page depicts G. Washington ("Learn a sensible way to get the dollars to start a new business"), a PC network ("Find out why your PC won't talk to your LAN..."), a Visa stamp ("Find out how in the world to apply for a visa."), a phone handset ("Get the current phone number of your old friend from high school..."), a scuba diver ("Discover a good place to dive..."), and a salad ("Copy down a truly delicious tofu recipe."). The bottom of both pages is dense ad copy.

These are state police, under @jbpritzker.bsky.social’s control. The great khan.

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

Hilarious that the same people who say "bad slogan" will also say things like "build back better"

I had a lot of convos with people who said they were sympathetic, but Defund the Police was a "bad slogan". I told them it wasn't a slogan. It was an answer. It was an answer to the constant question "what can we do to actually lower crime and make our neighborhood's safer?"

Anyway. Here we are.

Should’ve defunded the police like we instructed smh

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

You have no idea if or how I voted. You also don't know whether or not I live in a deep red state. Let me tell you that because of our bullshit democracy my vote would never add electoral votes to harris

Blah blah blah. I recommend using more of your energy yelling at people who have power instead of shaming people who have moral convictions.

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.
