An Indiana legislator opposed President Trump’s push for the state to redraw its congressional map to gain GOP seats in next year’s midterms. Harassment followed. “I’d rather my house not get firebombed,” the lawmaker told @russellberman.bsky.social.

Absolutely toxic to the human spirit.
Humanity thrives on friction—but AI is built to make everything seem easy, Raffi Krikorian writes. In losing the unpredictable, chaotic, and surprising, AI has “stripped us of something profoundly human.”
