The fact that it's called Wine Is Not an Emulator really shows you the sense of humour they have about it, yeah.

Congrats! It's a hell of a transition, but I don't think I would ever go back now that I'm on this side of things.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

I truly meant to write "Trump's back." Ugh. It's late (where I am).

"One thing to make clear at the outset, when describing antifascist activity, is that the vast majority of it is nonviolent. In fact, antifascism is a defensive posture—it rises as fascism rises, and falls as fascism falls, in a well-documented pattern that has lasted for decades."

Part of what to take from this is that solar power is The Future. Whoever has their hand up Trump's ass is only further isolating the US from the rest of the world. It's shameful and devastating and hurts so so many people, but they're guaranteeing the world will leave them behind.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

damn. hoping it at least signifies something

I'm proud of my city today. Some courageous people *made* the Parks Board do the right thing.

practically a requirement for this administration to be a sex pest

There will be those who will once again council empty reconciliation with Republicans, on the grounds that “we need to be better than them.”

yeah I'm thinkin it's time to do politics the left way

Kristi Noem should never have been confirmed after this. It ended up being a perfect representation of what she would do.

Have a piece today in TEEN VOGUE from my new book POLICE AGAINST THE MOVEMENT detailing how the NYPD, LAPD, cops in Chicago and Memphis surveilled the civil rights movement—and then destroyed millions of surveillance files in the ‘70s, including ones that may have shed like on MLK’s assassination.

I'm genuinely impressed with the cardinals who picked this guy. I'm sure there was LOTS of argument about it, and I think I goes to a vote in the end, but this guy *is* the Catholic Church's response to the moment we're in. I did not see this coming.

Pope Leo is spitting.

Whenever anyone says how much of the U.S. economy is tied to AI right now, I'm like...damn, what if a single rich person had any idea other than "try to zero out labor costs through theft."

The President of the United States is out of his mind.

genuinely think they are feeding him AI videos

This is *exactly* like claiming you know the guy founded "terrorism."

Except antifa is the OPPOSITE of terrorism, obvs.
