BREAKING: President Trump has repeatedly claimed that Democrats are cheating by allowing noncitizens to vote. But the poster child of Monday’s voter fraud sweep — who the DOJ alleges was illegally registered to vote in L.A. — is a registered Republican lamaterial.com/p/voter-frau...

You can kill as many people as you want, but you target a beautiful precious data center? The one that hosted all 40,000 Sexy Ladies For Ken Paxton accounts?

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

I think a reasonable way to get AI companies to do anything is to hold them to the same standards as anybody else when their models do illegal stuff.

Holy hell. Anthropic's AI model submitted a false tip about a HOMICIDE to the Philadelphia Police Department's online public tip form. The release today from the PPD:

the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning

can’t think of a better example of AI being mostly a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist also it can’t help when this is your user base

Mike Drucker@mikedrucker.bsky.social

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

Former Sith Lord Darth Vader, who once force choked a guy for a few seconds in a board meeting, has passed away.

Wasn’t there something else that he did which was really, really evil?

And like clockwork, as soon as a D is next to the president’s name we won’t have money for anything. The debt is only the most important issue AFTER the GOP runs it up another 13-14 0s.

It’s literally all he’s got

Trump on Democrats: "They will overturn it if they take over. All of the things, including men in women's sports, transgender for everyone, they will overturn it if they get in. We can't let that happen." 🤔

Um, yes it is.

KLOBUCHAR: Do you agree that it's unacceptable for federal agents to forcibly enter someone's home without a warrant and drag them onto the street without checking that they even have the right person? BLANCHE: Well, it depends on the circumstances. It's not a black and white answer

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

I think we can all agree that when The Pitt season ends it should be immediately followed by The Pitt: After Dark that covers the night shift. And that runs for the next 15 weeks until The Penn/The Jeff or some other Philly analog, and then repeat.

I found out that the sea drone the Houthis used is called the Blowfish. Come on. Houthis and the Blowfish

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

I love this dive review in the US-Paraguay game. I’ve long thought there should be a post-game review that if you dive it’s a red card and you miss the next 2 games. This is better than nothing.

Does Hegseth think that the *Axis* forces stormed the beaches at Normandy on D-Day?

Dan Lamothe@danlamothe.bsky.social

Hegseth at Normandy: "Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria. Boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late? I pray not, and I believe not."

It's funny learning that the reason there's going to be a crippling helium supply shortage even though the United States once had a huge strategic reserve of it is literally because Republicans did the "jeff thinks the beans have to take turns lmao" thing to it

This feels like a workable solution.

Senator Ruben Gallego@gallego.senate.gov

The 25 richest Americans paid pay an average tax rate of 3.4 percent. A teacher pays more than that. So does a waitress, a plumber, a nurse. Here’s how they pull it off, and here’s how my bill is going to stop it. 👇

Managed to capture tonight's almost Blue Moon. Still working out the nuances of this crappy 420-800mm lens, but got this one despite fairly heavy cloud cover. 1/200s, 800mm, probably f16 or so. Can't tell since the lens doesn't talk to my camera.

Adam Hoffman, you say? The name of the pedophile Paxton pardoned was Adam Hoffman?

mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social

the challenge for talarico and dems will not just be repeating this accusation over and over again, but telling the story over and over again, so that voters understand the words "adam hoffman" as a synecdoche for the entire case against Paxton every time they are invoked.

I can hear physicists’ palms slapping their foreheads

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

Agreed. And most of them lack the analytical capacity to understand what is happening. A large part of our population has been politically infantilized.

Dumb fuck thinks eggs and cheese are vegan. It probably tracks that they don’t know where that stuff comes from.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

Incredible that they've taken Talarico saying his order at a particular taco place was a potato, egg, and cheese breakfast taco and turned that into "he's a vegan." Just straight-up old-school flim-flam.

Seems like an easy way to chip off a chunk of the national debt would be to repeal tax exempt status from entities like these.

In presidential election years, around one in seven churches in America engaged in electioneering, an analysis of nearly 90,000 evangelical sermons reveals—six times the rate in non-election periods

He went on to say, “And take it from me. I know fascism. And dead popes.”

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance: "One of the things I find fascinating about Pope Leo is he chose the name 'Leo XIV,' which of course is recollecting Leo XIII. Leo XIII was Pope during a time when incredible industrial transformation led to the rise of fascism and communism in Europe."

I feel like signaling that you have something DT would want is a terrible idea these days. What’s to keep him from invading and taking it? After all, he needs a win after this Iran debacle.

Insane being a Californian seeing people post pictures of $4 gas going ‘I don’t know how we’re expected to survive.’ You are a weak people, grown decadent and fat on the sap of the earth. You will welcome our armies as liberators.
