Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end.
I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.
He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.
(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

The people who are most familiar with Gavin Newsom's policies and his *actual* record are the ones saying he's a terrible candidate. People who care very much about winning, whose lives depend on it.

Gavin Newsom is a slick-talking rich transphobic cop-loving dishonest opportunist. He takes his marching orders from billionaires.
Newsom is a phony. I think most Americans can see right through him.
I don't think he stands a chance in the general. He's Joe Lieberman with better hair.

Gavin Newsom spent the last 7 years doing the bidding of big tech. You can blame him for many of the harms we're now suffering. We have spent the last 7 years trying to keep our unhoused neighbors alive despite Newsom's best efforts to make more people homeless while he and his friends get richer.

Californians are NOT going to vote for Gavin Newsom. They're telling you now, with YEARS to go before the election. Fair warning. Please support better candidates, there will be many to choose from.

Failed to catch a kid as he dove out of my way during a game of tag, instead hit a chain-link fence forehead first at full speed and bounced off it onto my back in the woodchips. The school didn't have first aid supplies so they called my mom and told her to bring butterfly bandages and hurry.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:
