Everywhere this man goes he should be treated as if he murdered millions of children, because he did.
The Project 2025 architect who promised to put federal employees “in trauma” is spending $15 million of former USAID funding—money that would have gone toward fighting HIV, polio, malaria, and other diseases—to bankroll his security detail. trib.al/TSV3cmb

those camps were built under obama and kept open under biden. ICE budgets increased every year under obama and biden. no one from the first trump term was prosecuted and biden told trump "welcome home" on inauguration day

This is just a classic "neoliberalism is anything I don't like."
I mean, neoliberalism is bad. But it's on a whole different axis from "fight fascists or not."

Voting is the only political leverage you have, which is why you need to promise to give your vote to the first person who says he wants it with no questions asked

When government services should be needs based, I'm always confused when a service is strapped for cash. We rely on free markets way too much.
Bloomington Transit’s newest route, Route 13 to Park 48, could end soon without a cash infusion from Monroe County. The agency is seeking $184,000 to keep the route going.
Without funding, service on Route 13 will end on March 8.

“We plan to hire an AI rewrite specialist to ingest the reporting by Hannah and others and use AI to convert it into stories.”
The editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer said it will use AI to ‘write’ its articles.

The "scaling law" is the same thing as "brute force optimization." If you get that, you understand the problem.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
Not one dime for this cruelty.

I've been wanting to ride the bus or get into biking, but my house driveway literally goes out into Sherman, no bike lane, no sidewalk, just murderous cars racing down my street to 46th. It's a death trap.

any time you hear someone say “we NEED light rail” you know they’re not serious they just think trains are status symbols
I hate how that "light rail" op-ed in the Indystar blew up 🤦🏿♂️
Every light rail system in the WORLD is underpinned by good bus service to make it USEFUL
We won't ever NEED light rail without better bus service FIRST, which the state keeps fighting

I spent the entire day yesterday interacting with AI to see if I'm wrong about this. One of the projects was getting the best AI model to write C++ code for OpenCL.

Large language models (LLMs) can suggest hypotheses, write code and draft papers, and AI agents are automating parts of the research process.
Although this can accelerate science, it also makes it easy to create fake or low-quality papers, known as AI slop.

this quoted post is uninformed nonsense. policy changes towards trans people have been profound at both the state and federal level.
