And by my extension they're telling their viewers to watch another network if they want real coverage.

ABC News' lawyer told a judge the network is tempering its election coverage because of government threats. The Trump Censorship Industrial Complex is real...and expanding.

PIMCO: “.. A blue wave? .. it is not surprising that more folks are wondering whether it could be a wave election or not. .. .. average polling has Democrats up in 8 of the 9 races, and if that were to translate into wins, Democrats would win the Senate by +2 (52-48).” [Cantrill]

@dicknixon.bsky.social it innoculates the Ds in the Senate and would dare the Rs to change Senate rules setting up the Ds to run on and do the same in '28. Thune will try to say the it wouldn't matter to change the rules because the Ds control the house, but pressure will be high to do someting.

@dicknixon.bsky.social Mr. President, I wanted to run some of my analysis by you. I think the Ds would be better off if they can get Senate 50-50 or 51-49. Let the rough and tumble D House do their oversight when they're in the majority. Fetterman (Manchin-lite) would be a nightmare to deal with.

Thomas Paine is my favorite founding father. He was famously abolitionist and one of the earliest voices to point out the hypocrisy of fighting for independence while keeping slaves. He also firmly believed that keeping any friendship which required compromising your morals made you a bad person.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.

Ditto. The most moving thing I've ever seen. Absolutely inexcusable.

The USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor is the only U.S. historic site I've ever visited that was 100% quiet, with Americans showing complete respect. On that day, I doubt that any of us thought about snorkeling at the tomb of 900+ sailors and Marines. But Kash Patel thinks differently.

When I was earlier in my career, I remember feeling so upset when I had an idea and someone else had the gall to research and write about it before me. And then I realized that the “having the idea” was not the work.

legalized gamboling@ohtazer.goblinmo.de

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

Reader, I sighed & then teared up. This is such massive help. $16 million helps 2,750 families cover rent through June. He’s trying to raise the other half. And the dude also delivered laundry during the siege.

This is a great history lesson on the mispricing of labor as technology cuts costs. I’ve written how hourly billing fields are in an interesting spot when AI does hours of work in minutes. How long until clients figure it out? This article argues software development faces this given Claude Code.

OpenAI announcing “$110 billion” in new funding, leaving out that $35 billion of Amazon’s $50 billion is contingent on an IPO, and the $30 billion each from SoftBank and NVIDIA is paid in installments. Anyone reporting this as fully closed is wrong. It’ll happen anyway. openai.com/index/scalin...

I’m going to say this louder for the people in the back, the “AI productivity boost” is that it helps you get to a first draft faster. LLMs are not good enough for you to not review the output and just publish. If they were then your job wouldn’t need you anyway.

Kristina is a real one. If you can give, please do.

Kristina Halvorson@halvorson.bsky.social

I helped mobilize a group of neighbors to provide direct aid to nearly 50 families who are in hiding from ICE. These folks deserve fresh, familiar foods. So we're purchasing groceries direct from neighborhood Latino markets whenever we can. Venmo @kristina-halvorson to help, and please repost.

I'll be there.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

City of Minneapolis@minneapolismn.gov

Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost. Learn more: https://www.minneapolismn.gov/getting-around/parking-driving/impound-lot/#d.en.200746
