WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

fascinating that he thinks what we need to repent for is drag queen story hour and not things like family separations and extra judicial killings

Ross Douthat treats this guy like they're having some deep conversation about the relationship of Christianity and the government, but the dude is a garden-variety dull, shallow, hateful, worthless bigot with nothing interesting to say, just endless riffs on "God hates everything/everyone I do."

Douthat: So that’s the first purpose of your political project, for America to stop making God angry.

Wilson: Yes. And most people think that when they are confronted with that project, they think that we want to get our tentacles into everything and start controlling everything. I actually think we need limited government. The government should be significantly smaller than it is, and we need to curtail a lot of the busybodyness that we have. That’s why I would call myself a theocratic libertarian. There is a true libertarian element in this, and yet, the transcendent grounding for what we’re talking about means that we acknowledge the authority of God.

We have racked up quite a body count of awful crimes, and I believe the only way out is for us to repent and turn to Christ. This would be things like no more Pride parades, no more drag queen story hours, no more abortion on demand, no more legalized same-sex unions — all of that, done. That’s the repentance part.

Sorry: Trump has magic teflon armor and Democrats don't. We don't like it but those are the rules of engagement. Democrats should be unifiers, especially when they are so far behind the eight ball on the Senate map bsky.app/profile/kevi...

kevinwglass.bsky.social @kevinwglass.bsky.social · 18d

In 2020, Joe Biden won 25 states.

If you get two Dem senators in every single state and give up on the places that Joe Biden did not win, that's 50 votes in the Senate.

That is not a big enough map! Democrats need to win in more places!

If Ohio is not a place that Democrats can win.... where?

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

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.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

i think it’s because exercising purse power terrifies them. whereas legislating as little as possible avoids upsetting voters and gives them free time to fundraise, campaign, hold court with lobbyists, and insider trade. that’s the whole reason they’ve ceded so much to the executive to begin with

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

have i just missed that we’ve decided to call them that? is it an LLM specific quirk (if so i think it’s a mistake and will encourage to bad policy)? or do LLMs meet some previously established threshold or criteria that puts them in “ai” territory?

maximally entangled sarah @sarahnemy.bsky.social · 3h

this was an interesting article but also frustrating. the free version of gpt has no idea why nyt thinks “ai” can create artificial life and the writer doesn’t explain. different POVs are acknowledged but never explained. and i still dk why we are calling LLMs “ai”

so if that insanely aggravating reply is doing that (it’s not that common in american english typing anymore), consider it might be a coordinated account we’re better off just blocking and forgetting

i must preface this by saying one of my favorite posters on the planet is a threads account that puts two spaces after every period. i won’t specify who but if you see this it obviously doesn’t pertain to your account. but

i have seen a lot of suspected inauthentic accounts doing this recently

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.
