Literally almost lost my lunch after seeing my employer on this list, even though I know they've done far, far, worse. (work is hell)

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Ignore the polls and vote (early) like your life depends on it, because even if it doesn't (and it very well might) your sanity almost certainly does. #doSomething #vote

The brand-new NYT/Siena poll is devastating for Republicans, but there’s one number in the poll that should terrify every Republican on the ballot 13 days before the midterms. It’s not Trump’s approval rating. www.messageboxnews.com/p/brand-new-...

Currently running @blender.org renders benchmarking several GPU backends for eevee... on my phone, in Termux. My 5yo Xe laptop GPU is outclassed by a 3yo Qualcomm one, and they (our technofascist overlords) tell us Moore's law is dead. This probably says more about Intel's sad state than anything.

The immutable, unnamed American law of The Dumbest Thing That Can Happen Will Happen dictates that the Democrats will win the House handily, as projected, and take the Senate 51-49, making John Fetterman the most powerful flesh husk in America for the next 24 months.

BREAKING: @democracydefendersfund.org & partners just sued ICE over a nasty catch-22 ICE detains people, takes their IDs & work papers, releases them, keeps the papers. Now they can't work & risk getting picked up again for having no ID We're going to court to get it ALL back -TN

It was just as obviously bullshit then as it is now. Good con artists borrow, great ones…?

Remember when we thought investors might mobilize in ways sufficient to protect the world from climate change

BTW, autocorrect very fittingly recommended "racists" and "rapists" as it's first suggestions to replace my botched typing of "artists"

For fear of association, I really need to pick a new banner image. Suggestions welcome.

About half the people at this table were (I'm ashamed to admit) my idols a decade ago (Elon, Lisa, Jensen, Tim); now, this photo makes me physically gag. Gods, I'm glad I was able to burn the wool they had pulled over my eyes. Even more glad their reckoning is coming. #Vote

Whose empty chair is that: Natalie or Mitch??

After 2 years of "Welcome to the Resistance" I'm very much looking forward to banishing the evil empire to their Floridian hellhole (forever?)

Why is it that of all the dystopian tech corp campuses, Apple's seems to have the most Windows? (very original, I know)

Aside from destruction of the planet and copyright theft, the third most annoying thing for me about LLM's is that they've poisoned the well for genuine discussion on genuinely useful machine intelligence, machine learning, non-LLM AI, etc.

In an alternate timeline where we signed the damn treaty, the parties in this sentence would be reversed.

i am genuinely bewildered by people who say that the rise of white nationalism in the republican party is a response to the "woke left." like, did the woke left cause pat buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign? is the woke left why steve king had a long career in congress?

Or better yet, build a better system. The Supreme Court is not required to be at the top of the appellate ladder constitutionally, and they shouldn't be legislatively either. Time to fix it.

Doug Lindner@douglindner.bsky.social

NEW POLL: 53% of Americans support expanding the Supreme Court, including majorities of both Democrats and independents. Two weeks ago, House Dems stood united to keep that option on the table. Happy Constitution Day! law.marquette.edu/poll/

I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two MORE unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Don't be fooled into thinking that a "free market" only exists when corporations get to "self-regulate" and do whatever they want. And don't be led to think that the government is "intruding" into the market when it crafts laws to protect the public. The real issue is power — and who has it.

In states with abortion bans, medical providers are hesitating or flat-out refusing to terminate ectopic pregnancies, lawsuits allege. “I genuinely thought I was going to die,” said Kyleigh Thurman, who couldn’t get care in Texas.

Honestly, the warnings coming from people actually building AI are getting harder and harder to ignore. We’re talking about warnings of human extinction, losing control of advanced AI, biological weapons becoming easier to create, massive cyberattacks,
