DC residents have gone 236 years without congressional votes (2 in Senate; 1 in House). They should get statehood now and, as reparations, I would modestly propose either:

- they get double the usual amount until the year 2261, or

- for 2 years, DC gets 119 House votes & 238 senate votes.

since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

"Tech experts": If you see something unbelievable in a video, be careful, it's probably a deep fake.

Real life: Today Trump will gaze lovingly at Madani and the Pope will throw a rave.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.

"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."

Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

i think that people who use headphones in public places like trains are selfish. keeping all your cool music and podcasts to yourself is genuinely sociopathic and deranged behavior. play it on your phone's speaker and let everyone enjoy it, or don't play it at all

Confident know what it means: 11%
Vaguely know what it means: 15%
Have heard it, but don't know what it means: 15%
Have not heard it: 59%

5/🧵 Race divides the Democratic Party more than it does Republicans. Young Republicans remain almost as racially resentful as older Republicans. But among Democrats and independents, massive shifts. White Gen Z independents have lower racial resentment than Boomer Democrats.

A majority of Americans disapprove of ICE. More Americans approve of protests against ICE than disapprove of them. Why? Maybe because many Americans think ICE is too forceful and are worried ICE could mistreat someone they know.
