i think the days of “AI isn’t useful” are going to quickly come to end in a matter of months — Claude Code changed coding forever, and Claude Cowork (or some equivalent) likely will change how everyday average consumers use computers forever

And again, we keep being told “abolish” rhetoric didn’t work but Joe Biden won in 2020, if we’re looking at electoral results it was fine, the subsequent rejection by the people just elected was the impediment.

A local rapid response group I work with is desperately trying to raise $5K tonight to get immediate legal representation for a group member who is facing deportation. It is crucial that these funds be raised by tomorrow. These are organizers I trust.

In honor of Hayao Miyazaki's birthday, what's your favorite Studio Ghibli film? Doesn't have to be the one you think is "the best," just the one that nestled in your heart. Mine is Howl's Moving Castle.

Brad Lander approached Nancy Pelosi at a gala and told her he was running for Congress. “I am a Dan Goldman Democrat,” she responded. “Democrats don’t run against Democrats.”

sunsetting section 230 gives the power to whoever has control of either the executive branch, the courts, or both the power to crush small web sites like this one and to dictate what is on larger ones like twitter

Children are being exploited and abused because Big Tech consistently prioritizes profits over people.
Enough is enough. Time to sunset Section 230.

We're seeing this now. Concepts which had been rendered politically inert by their universal public affirmation, like democracy, human rights, anti-corruption, anti-racism, & basic decency, have polemical potential again as that consensus breaks down—they're available for use as partisan weapons.

Schmitt is onto something when he calls out 'universal' concepts like human rights or justice for being emptied of substantive content when they cease to be polemical—meaning oriented against a concrete political foe.
But that just means they need to be reappropriated by new emancipatory movements.
