Genuinely begging someone from Santa Cruz to get me The Bagelry hummus ingredients. I'll sort the ratios, I just need to fucking know

Jen @loopdilou.bsky.social · 1d

Bagel with Bagelry Hummus. I lose in NYC but my taste buds win so whatever.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 1d

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

Trump announces he's putting a bajillion percent tariff on China

It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.

Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software.

It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I am quite frankly sick and tired of shoddy reporting that takes advantage of trans people’s hopes and fears to drive clicks and reposts of inaccurate stories

Not long ago -- in my lifetime -- all trans people faced unspeakable violence, including state-sponsored violence, for simply existing

And self-appointed gatekeepers made it as tough as possible for a person to transition.

Anyone who wants to bring back the gatekeeping also wants the violence back

We Have at least 70? years of science fiction exploring this proposition and all reaching the same conclusions as Josie.

Which I only bring up because everyone involved in this AI thing is a science fiction fan, but not one who understands what they read.

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

You may think you’re ready for the absurdity of the enormous squid sculpture in the Charlestown Navy Yard where different animals are perched on its tentacles, but I assure you you are not.
