"genAI is basically a Dunning-Kruger Device." Possibly the best, truest sentence I'll read in 2026.
It is hard for me to understand why people think these emails are well-written or effective, but that's really it, isn't it? genAI is basically a Dunning–Kruger Device. Folks really think they sound amazing because they don't have the skill to know they sound freakishly off-putting.

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.
BREAKING WaPo: Trump officials scrutinized Rep. Ilhan Omar in 2019. They didn't find citizenship issues. The earlier review of Omar's immigration records looked at many of the same issues being investigated now.

After last 10 years it’s evident that massive chunk of legal/political/media elites still haven’t grappled with the threat to US democracy. Still not sensing the urgency after what we experienced on Jan 6 or through Trump vs US.
We can’t lawyer our way around a SCOTUS majority that wields power in bad faith to aggrandize their own power and their own faction. Power in America does not work the way it used to. Fascism has come and it’s not going away. We do not have the luxury of responding with patient incrementalism.
@floppyguy.bsky.social Not completely your domain, but not not your domain either:
Found these doing some reorganization. Lots of people can remember AOL CDs. How many can recall AOL floppies?

This was a tweet from Michael Hobbes a while back and I’ve seen nothing to contradict it yet: “I think we'll look back on the last decade as a time when social media gave previously marginalized groups the ability to speak directly to elites and, as a result, elites lost their minds.”

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.
Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

This bill would abolish ICE, DHS, and CBP, transferring legitimate customs duties to other departments. It would sunset Section 219 of the INA close the Guantánamo Bay detention facility and shutter all immigration detention centers. You have my sword, milady.

In 2011, I presented on students w/ criminal records & campus crime to a conference of university chiefs/LEOs. I made an offhand remark that if universities were actually serious about relationship & sexual violence, they'd ban frats. One said, "We would if we could," & every other chief agreed.
We’ve seen schools do this before. If this one-year party suspension doesn’t turn into a permanent ban, then it’s just a message to fraternities that they have true impunity. That even the worst, most violent behavior will result in a temporary slap on the wrist.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! There is NO ethical consumption of Harry Potter Not the books, movies, or tv show. Not licensed games or merch. Not fanfic. Not even pirated. EVERY bit keeps the franchise alive and enables JKR's transphobia If you truly care about trans people, you need to let it die

its very convenient when people admit their crimes like this, if only there were actually going to be consequences, its a shame crime is legal
Stephen Miller’s podcaster wife had to double back after overplaying her hand. Katie Miller quickly deleted a post on X gloating over the ICE raid on Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington, D.C., home on Monday, (cont.) www.thedailybeast.com/katie-miller...
It's a day that ends in Y, so it's a fine day to say "Get fucked, Gavin Newsom"!
Gavin Newsom backs measure to kill the billionaire tax and ban future wealth taxes Gov. Gavin Newsom isn't just fighting the billionaire tax. He's backing Prop. 42, which would ban future wealth taxes in California, too.
