how is this somehow not uniquely specific rn
How about we not get into a fight with Scandinavian soldiers in a frozen landscape. Foreign invaders trying that while going "we're bigger than you, back down" has a bad record.

It’s a lawless totalitarian occupation of an American city.
I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

So Dem after Dem are coming out with the "no funding to DHS" message, and, folks, I gotta tell you that's some *record* time in centralizing on messaging.
I know y'all compare politicians' messages based on how quickly someone can post to Bluesky, but in the real world, this is *lightning* quick.

The Hmong are here because they fought for the US in a war we lost.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.

When I do this, it searches a dozen or more news sites and confirms every detail and corrects only a few nuances, with perhaps more of a gotcha tone than is warranted for the "maduro is not on trial, he was just arraigned" correction.

if I were making a bluesky client, I would get together with the other independent developers that are creating those clients and agree on adding features that bluesky itself doesn’t support and be compatible with each other.

the thing one has to understand about Will is that he's not doing this for clout or social media followers and he's doing it with the same genuine conviction that led him to crash out during the Fateh endorsement fiasco.

the 250th anniversary of 1776 is less of a celebration, more of a reenactment
“I know, we’ll take this one American city, regarded as a hotbed of seditious sentiment, and subject it to a heavy-handed punitive crackdown. and that will cow the rest of the Americans into quiet submission and snuff out the embers of opposition at their source”

I don’t know if I’m the only one who assumed this, but guessing from the amount of people slipping around the ice right now maybe I’m not: Yaktrax aren’t expensive, like less than $25 and the off brand ones are even cheaper, like $12. Easily the best money I’ve spent this year

Unironically Oracle is the embodiment of basically every negative trend in tech. Like, everyone is doing something bad, Oracle is doing *everything* bad at the same time.
Yeah nobody is gonna shed a fucking tear over Oracle being beat to death with an antitrust bat.
It would actually be great for economy to absolutely fuck Oracle up. Goddamn fucking vampires, the lot of 'em.

/3 Think about it. Faced with lawless, violent thugs who feel entitled to murder and abuse, and faced with an unimaginably powerful government openly praising and endorsing murder and lying to justify it, these people are still showing up, often for people they don’t even know.

I keep wondering what people mean by this. My federal taxes are taken out of my paycheck by my employer and sent directly to the IRS and to my state. States do not pay money to the federal government. I sincerely don't understand how "not paying our federal taxes" would work.
at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us
