Best sign nominee.

A tweet from John Pavlovitz reads “chef’s kiss.” It includes a photo of a woman wearing a gray beanie and scarf, holding a cardboard protest sign that says “Not Today SprAyTAN,” with “A” and “TAN” highlighted in orange. The scene appears to be a street demonstration outside a theater with other people and cars in the background.

Copy-editing AI generated content is *exhausting*. Far more difficult and time-consuming than copy-editing human-generated content. Even when it's correct, it's correct in a way that doesn't *quite* make sense unless you squint.

U.S. REP. DELIA RAMIREZ (D-IL): "We are very clear that the greatest threat to public safety in our communities, it's called ICE. It's called CBP. And unfortunately, even USCIS is being weaponized at this moment. ICE is operating as a terror force..."

I remember being told in the early 2000s that PHP was a toy language and if I were serious about professional development, I should switch to a "serious" language.

I want to know who these protestors that are getting paid because I've been to multiple protests since January and have not received a single cent.

Republicans are redrawing districts to give themselves control of Congress, no matter what voters decide. Prop 50 is how Democrats can fight back—protecting fair representation and keeping extremists from deciding our future. This is our line in the sand. Vote #YESonProp50

Colorful illustration promoting “Yes on Prop 50” in California. A vintage yellow station wagon drives along a coastal road, surrounded by vibrant orange California poppies and a Monarch butterfly in the foreground. A tall palm tree stands against rolling hills and a bright sun radiating yellow rays across the sky. The top of the image features bold red text reading “CALIFORNIA,” with “Yes on Prop 50” in yellow below it—blending natural beauty with a nostalgic, advocacy-driven message.

Am I the only one that finds most AI implementations exceptionally annoying? They're great when narrowly defined and closely monitored, but it's of no value when it isnt *accurate*. For example: what good is AI-generated meeting notes if only 80% of it is accurate and 20% is just completely made up?

It's easy to scoff at Trump designating as a "terrorist organization" something that's not an *organization* at all.

I have different view.

When you declare an idea rather than an organization to be terrorism, you can declare *anyone* a terrorist.

And that is what he will do.

This is horrifying.

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.
