California's billionaires are flooding the airwaves with propaganda and pulling every dirty trick in the book to avoid paying their fair share in taxes. Don't be fooled. Vote YES on Prop 40 and NO on Props 41 and 42.

What the actual fucking fuck? (1) As should already be really well known, you can’t trust one of these “AI” systems even as far as you could throw its enormous datacenter, and (2) Google is an entirely corrupt collaborator with this entirely corrupt regime.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

And then there are the people photos, which are their own thing and presumably worth their own essay if I ever figure out a thesis about them to go on about!

This has made me think again about how (while one aspires to make photos which are about ALL THE THINGS AT ONCE), I often seem to produce photos which are either about some aspect of composition or interrelations (kind of expected to be appreciated with the head), …

…or others which are often-simpler sensual exercises in appreciating color and texture. The latter ones are more like, “Hey, let’s just stand here and look at this together. Nice, huh?” Sometimes those are just about the particular light at a particular time of a particular day.

I gave Bsky a nice high-resolution copy of this to post—but in case Bsky nonetheless isn’t willing to show you enough of the details and textures to wallow in them properly, and you think you might enjoy that, here’s the same photo at Flickr: flic.kr/p/2sHSkEa

AI maximalists don't want to watch movies. They want AI to make movies and then have AI watch the movies for them and summarize them for them. They can then use that summary to make an AI generated short that will get pushed by the algorithm and make them money.

There are aspects of this which read to my eye as if it had been shot on film. (lookit the lovely subtle glow on those handlesets!)

The fact that Donald says such things isn't what worries me. He has always been stupid and now has dementia. It is all those stupid people behind him who are laughing, as if he is genuinely funny, that worry me. They will still be around after that useless cretin is gone. And they will be voting.

If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia. If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia. If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.

The thing about Jan Crawford’s “diatribe” and CNN’s “heated” is, we all could see the whole exchange with our own eyes, but it suggests they’ve fucked up a lot of coverage of things we couldn’t see.

This is a really striking tweet.

The pedestrian plaza smells like hay! It must be fall! The corporate autumnal decorations have reappeared – complete with hay bales, pumpkins, cornstalk arches, and inevitably the haunted straw-stuffed rag doll scarecrows. #photography #seasonal #seasonalDecor #corporateDecor #corporateDecorating

I too am a Justin Pearson fanboy. Come on, TN! Send him to Washington so he can stand up to (and get under the skin of) a DIFFERENT set of entrenched racists! It’s great to see @chrismurphyct.bsky.social showing up with support.

I swear to god the administration is going down the list of reasons pundits said it wasn’t fascism and doing them all one by one

This is amazing.

My teenage children, who have never set foot in NYC, go around saying "Help me, Mamdani!" whenever anything goes wrong and/or they can't figure out their homework, just to give everybody a sense of the scale of this man's presence in the culture lol

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

Real-world useful things to do before, during, and after elections. Be ready for fuckery to com. “I check [my voter registration] every week.”

They can lose. But it's going to be messy and dirty. And btw, the midterms are not a lock. They will pull every dirty trick in the book, and then some. We are playing the game at a disadvantage and have to win anyway. That's no easy task.

Some of the escalations we're seeing, including the attack on Ilhan Omar's home (I will not pretend this act was "investigatory"), are desperate acts. But we must remember that desperate people can be very dangerous. A domestic abuse victim, for example, is in the most danger when trying to leave.

To start with, this is happening because the president has targeted a member of Congress as part of a broader explicitly racist hate campaign against Americans of a particular ethnic origin. There's no other way to put it.

Jeff Moore reposted

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

There's a lot of overlap between what I like listening to and what I've played on those shows, so the above picture is the best answer I've been able to come up with so far to that vexing question. 3/
