Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Every @senatedemocrats.bsky.social that caves to this would-be dictator should be primaried and lose their job next election.

Disgusting they will allow Trump and the GOP to kill even more Americans.

If @warnock.senate.gov and @ossoff.senate.gov vote on a funding bill that doesn't guarantee the Healthcare tax credits, I will donate to whomever primaries them.
Caving to Trump now would be calamitous.

IMO every publication and every publisher should have a clear statement about their generative AI policy. To dictate what is acceptable writer usage, yes, but also to declare their own usage (or lack thereof). Do they use it for slushreading, editing, illustration, correspondence?

I hope a Woodworking TV/film adaptation happens, because somewhere out there is an 18-year-old trans girl who should play Abigail, and I want to try to make friends with her, proving I don't understand my own book.

Worth mentioning again and again that crime is near historic lows, and New York City in particular is one of the safest places in the entire country.
ICE’s lawlessness is a far greater threat to public safety than street crime in every one of these places.

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

The GOP are just recreating the Andropov-era USSR, complete with feeble Supreme Leader who can barely hold his head upright.

I am old enough to remember when requiring "journalists" to report only state-approved propaganda was how you could tell the Soviet Union were indisputably the bad guys.
