For real, this was a great day for democracy but do not sleep on all the (MAGA co-developed) ways that fascists tried to cheat

The fuckery in Brazil is quite innovative and we should spend more time trying to figure out what are the under appreciated load bearing components of US democracy.

I must have blocked at least 1% of all US phone numbers and the fucking fund raising texts keep coming. I do not believe that a party willing to destroy SMS to raise money actually understands collective action and benefit. What are we doing here?

While it is true that many men like Donald struggle get off the new wife train once they ditch the starter wife, I have never seen someone struggle with ditching the starter daughter before.

Bluesky is where I come to find philosophers getting yelled at for stepping out of their lane for opining on LLMs by engineers stepping out of their lane to opine on consciousness.

There’s temptation to have a “stop stop he’s already dead” feeling to these Democratic debates tonight and I want you all to stifle that feeling and enjoy every minute of having no mercy.

Yes, coding agents will create displacement in my profession, but they will also create new companies and careers and lower costs so more people can enjoy the benefits of software.

This is valid but I’ve always believed it died when Yahoo snapped up everyone who wasn’t in it for their next billion leaving the business building to sociopaths.

“He seemed distracted by the various specs of the boat; then, dashing among them, he sprang up into the air, and, expanding his jaws, tore Ahab’s boat into splinters!”

The vibes are off so it’s BlueySky time.

I did not have Joyce Carol Oates absolutely dismissing sector-solidarity in the face of AI displacement on my bingo card. Perhaps I should have given how every other sector is responding right now.

The kids are, by and large, quite alright.

Best railcar graffiti I've ever seen

Every stupid thing from the 80s is coming back with this administration.

The entire discourse about sex parties and AI stresses effective altruism way too much and Bay Area / Burning Man way too little.

Pacifism is beautiful but you will never find a more just side to fight for than Ukraine.

Comic-con is an exact balance of wholesome neurospicy hyper-focus and everyone loudly proclaiming what fiction resulted in their sexual awakening.

The thing about intersectionality and voting is it does actually mean you have to eat shit sometimes.

Periodically I am annoyed that my employer doesn’t want me to opine about my work but this week is definitely racking up points in the “let press relations do the talking please” column.

Bluesky today

This is also why Totalitarian Architecture exists as a style, and why Trump’s ballroom looks just like what Hitler and Stalin built—there is no creativity, complexity, or freedom of expression. It is just a simplistic representation of power and self-aggrandizement.

"For the next two minutes, Cloud detailed three issues impacting women that she believes deserve more attention than Freedom: domestic violence, sexual assault and food insecurity." www.nytimes.com/athletic/754...

This is stupid. Executive action million popular actions in the first 10 days. Dare Roberts to strike them down. Then expand the court with tremendous public backing.

I continue to be astonished that I would want this man over Jeffries or Schumer any day.

Trump just never stopped attacking NATO and it’s reprehensible.

As we go into our seventh month of war with Iran it is worth reflecting on how our actions in Venezuela mirror our actions in Iran in the Shah era. It will be awesome for us when a hostile government takes over Venezuela instead of a country across the globe.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

Make a band bigger: The Beastie Men

Anyway those notable scolds who condescendingly promised us the election were not going to be messed with can eat a dick

There is a reason token perplexity is the basic unit of analysis of LLMs.

Science

Could we not be the world’s worst assholes for a minute please

The left has a chance to seize the working class and the national defense class of it can get past its priors

The Custom Oregon Plate CHROMO was previously assigned, but is now available for reservation. https://dmv2u.oregon.gov/eServices/?link=custom #Oregon #LicensePlate #VanityPlate #OregonPlates #CustomPlate #CHROMO

His policies are pretty good but the GOP giving him the tacos, hot girlfriend and weed lane is a massive own goal.

It’s crazy to me this isn’t a daily refrain from Democrats.

This is a stupid gotcha and there are real things to pin on the world’s richest Nazi.

@timdickinson.bsky.social is Dropsite news credible? That’s a horrifying article.

They are running the Ukrainian playbook against us.

Whom are we not in a trade or hot war with at this point?

@fionatribe.bsky.social

This is just an endless stream of bullshit officiating

VAR never sets on England, apparently

Don’t stop burying Platner but spend a little time wondering why a two-bit con artist was such a compelling contrast to a leadership that could not even prioritize defending our democracy.
