As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

The news out of Louisville is tough tonight as the death toll has now reached at least 7, with that number expected to rise. First responders are onsite and working hard to extinguish the fire and continue the investigation. 1/3

Yes exactly! Tech is doing EXACTLY the wrong shit with it. It has real gamechanging applications to extremely niche technical problems, there's no need to force it everywhere and bullshit about what it can do! They're doing it anyway! Bananas

I mean for me, automating the shit process makes the job better for me as the worker, so I can focus on doing stuff to grow my skills and career goals instead of data normalization processing nonsense

I don't want the computer to draw art for me so I can spend more time unclogging the sewage pipes! I want it the other way! I want to draw the pictures!

Honest to God I could use an agent to grep 50000 lines in a text file for keywords, but instead I get "we burned down four acres of the rainforest so your dad could scroll videos of hummingbirds snuggling with bees"

Yes! Most people's experience with AI is not "a very tedious, data-heavy, repetitive process that if automated could vastly improve the quality of my work and job."

It's "mom sending me fake videos of riots in her neighborhood, she's scared to go outside" or "trump shits on protestors."

Even if you think, like I do, that AI has a lot of cool potential uses, that’s a very understandable reason why a lot of people get angry whenever it’s brought up right now.

My biggest grumble is how everything else just gets rolled up under this huge ‘AI’ marketing banner. Machine learning? Fuzzy logic? Split-span decision trees? Computer vision, 2D convolution mapping and tracking? All AI now. Boo!

Just a reminder that freedom of speech and the right to peacefully protest are protected in the Bill of Rights.

They are our fundamental rights.

We can’t normalize these kinds of authoritarian threats and counter-claims.

They represent rule by force.
Not by us, We the People.

Overnight court filings seem to be giving us a peek at what U.S. Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino said in his deposition so far (it apparently continues today):

“Similarly, Bovino testified that he has instructed his officers to arrest protesters who make hyperbolic comments in the heat of political demonstrations…”

About half done putting the first sticker layer on the motorcycle parts. Some band stickers, then auto clear seal, then assembly

We also discovered in the last year we could save about $150 a month by buying as much as we could from Aldi and only getting what we had to from bigger stores.

Lee Clark @inktnerd.bsky.social · 2d

Seems buy local, shop local became unaffordable in the last 3 yrs. Local farmers market had tomatoes $4 apiece yesterday. Local butcher had 8oz sirloin $40 apiece. I understand stuff costs money to produce, move and sell, but doesn't change the fact I can't afford to buy it from them instead of Aldi

I've always had a soft spot for Stephen King's high school emo kid alter-ego, Richard Bachman. This year, The Long Walk and The Running Man adapt two of his angriest stories, as we're all finally upset enough to appreciate them: www.avclub.com/stephen-king...

Stephen King's despairing alter ego has finally found a home in 2025

The mean-spirited early works published by Stephen King's alter ego Richard Bachman strike an appropriate tone for 2025's movies.

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes

So much of "cancel culture" discourse is a re-description of the normal functioning of a democracy and public discourse by people who didn't like the results of one, or both, or how it made them feel.

Erin S. Pumpkins @erincikanek.bsky.social · 11d

Saying that someone doesn’t deserve to be a senator isn’t canceling them, that is the public opinion candidates are subject to in a democracy.

Had an uncomfortable conversation about despair this afternoon.

To my mind, despair is the enemy. No matter how bad things are, this country has seen worse, people around the world have seen worse, and things got better because they kept fighting.
