Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 3d

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 3d

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Tbf… a president federalizing troops and sending them into sovereign states is kind of a big scandal.

I need the international roaming and a couple of other things the virtual carriers don’t have, is the problem.

Also sucks that they penalize people who only need 2 lines and then force a bunch of low-tier entertainment services into the sub to drive up the price.

I was on TMO for a long time, back when they were competitively priced, unbundled, and focused on quality. Now they’re more expensive than Verizon with the same terrible support. I love paying a connection fee when I had to do the work to call and get my number ported.

Joel G Goodman @joelgoodman.co · 24d

Wireless companies in the US are horrible. Verizon has let their platform go to crap while T-Mobile has actively ruined theirs. And AT&T gives money + airtime to hate speech.

On @futureperfectbook.club, @ronbronson.com recommends you not read Abundance because it’s pure trash.

Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) @doctorvive.bsky.social · Sep 5

A devastating review of "Abundance" (the book) in @nybooks.com. I mean, whew!

The evidentiary core of each chapter consists of a summary of the academic work of a few experts, usually economists, with frequent and lengthy quotations, as well as the occasional interview, whose conclusions are repeated uncritically. (To take one example, they quote without scrutiny the claim of Zoom CEO Eric Yuan that he is requiring employees to work in person in order to foster trust, rather than to impose discipline or to recoup the costs of commercial real estate. They give no sense of the unruly literatures on their subjects, the ranges of disagreement, the difficult problems and mutually exclusive solutions. They claim to set an agenda for a new liberal political order, but what they have done is read some economists and argue, again, for deregulation.

It sucks that it wasn't more but $1.5bn is a lot considering that's basically all the revenue they made this year so far, revenue that cost them billions to make. This is meaningful

Adam P. Knave @adampknave.com · Sep 5

For anyone who thinks that is a lot of money consider that their last round of funding was for 13B, and that normally big copyright infringement costs like 150k per, not the 3k per they are gonna pay. A fine is a price. For 1/10th of their funding they will keep and use this data. Fuckers.

The OpenAI employee share sale at the BS $500bn number is now up to $10.3 billion. This is a cashout. This is the thing you do when you do not see a future for the company.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can spread the word?
