Boss, we’ve got a problem. Users don’t want this stuff! They keep wanting to turn it off, even when we keep turning it back on!

Boss: I have an idea

Onedrive settings. A toggle for using AI to detect and identify faces is set to on. The caption says, you can only turn off this setting 3 times per year.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Ari Cohn @aricohn.com · 23h

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

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.

Susan Collins is the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which means she has considerable power to influence the administration but she prefers to mumble weak protestations to the media

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 1d

Despite all of Susan Collins’s **concerns**, Russ Vought, who she voted to confirm, still went ahead and fired a boatload of hard-working Americans.

Panel 1: Shen is stoically holding up a sign with his right hand that says "W O R C E S T E R" on it.

Panel 2: A man clearly from Boston, in a black Red Sox cap and Bruins jersey and holding a Market Basket bag slung over his shoulder, says "WOOSTER!" Under the cap, he has messy brown hair, and is smiling innocently.

Panel 3: Shen, still stoic, now holds up a picture of a rooster with both hands.

Panel 4: The man from Boston smile lights up, sparkles in his eyes, and says "ROOCHESTER!!!"

LORD HELP ME, being the only employee with a level competency with individual systems gets EXHAUSTING.

SwiftOnSecurity @swiftonsecurity.com · 3d

A new employee has been tasked to take up responsibilities only I have competency for. It is an exceptionally rare thing to be capable of – especially for someone who specializes in Linux, like them.

I have remarked to superiors, I do not want hold of competency. I am here to be ahead of the curve.

Fascinating moment in the power of DC Think. Democrats are clearly *not* looking for an off ramp right now. They’re actually saying this. Which is a measure of how badly it’s going for the GOP. It’s the GOP that is actually looking for the offeamp.

Today seems like a great day to re-up my slides from 2017 about the Nazi takeover of German physics, in part because in my estimation, a lot of American physicists in 2025 are confused about whether "agreeing to work with them" is resistance (it's not) and whether it works (it doesn't) 🧪⚛️

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein 🌌 @chanda.blacksky.app · Jan 31

In light of this deeply illegal activity at NSF and the ongoing attack on American science, I'm posting the slides from my 2017 talk at the American Physical Society about the Nazi take over of German physics/why German is no longer science's lingua franca 🧪

You're telling me the Dems are failing to rise to the moment? Why, it must be a day.

Berin Szóka @berinszoka.bsky.social · 4d

This hearing is a missed opportunity for Dems. Instead of either detailing how 🐘s have jawboned tech companies not to moderate content, or debunking 🐘 jawboning claims, they're fixated giving the gov't more power to break up media, which would likely change little and give 🐘s more leverage
