I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Between this, flock cameras, and all of the AI that everybody is so willing to contribute to, we are approaching a sort of surveillance state you’re not going to like.

"Gladys Mae West overcame huge barriers to contribute to [GPS] technology. She was one of many women of her generation whose talents helped propel the cold-war tech boom in the US. Programming some of the most powerful computers of the time, West pushed the horizons of computation & communication."
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Yeah man, the Ramos family being in America is what‘s endangering the 5-year-old citizen, not destroying healthcare, undermining confidence in vaccines, and tear gassing them in the streets.
There is only one honorable action for Gonzalez to take.

Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

My piping hot take on PLURIBUS is that it’s one of the most Ghibli-esque shows on TV today, and people who think its pacing is too slow ought to really sit with and examine why they feel that slow pace = bad.
Its first season has several minutes worth of “mā”, and is much stronger for it, IMO

People are mad at @samuelmoyn.bsky.social but this is a good piece from him and @ryandoerfler.bsky.social on need to accept that SCOTUS has become functionally illegitimate. Key point is legitimacy does require the public to think the court operates in good faith:

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen:
A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained"
But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

Quick reminder that, for me, axing Prime has done nothing but saved money and reduced the amount of plastic tat impulse buys.
Yes, some companies still sell exclusively on Amazon but the majority of its offerings are widely available elsewhere and often for less money.

A brief, recent history of the Washington Post:
1- Trump wins in 2024.
2- Bezos and minions make series of Trump-friendly changes to paper.
3-Readership tanks.
4- Bezos and minions fire tons of employees while telling them the audience just doesn't like what they're doing.

A non-lawyer might miss that Johnson carefully dodged the question.
The question was about HOMES. He just spoke about ARRESTS.
Those are two VERY different things for warrants.
ICE is trying to undermine that distinction, which motivated the question, but Johnson bounced around it.

Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?
MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
