This is probably the best ad I've seen against using generative AI: Mayer, who was an engineer at Google and a chief executive of Yahoo, has rotted her brain so much she can no longer classify her daughter as "empathetic, creative and an animal lover". The slide of competence is incredible.

cool, cool

There will be records for all of this. Let there be justice too.

NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. with @nytimes.com

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

I want you to imagine any other preventable mass tragedy met with the absolute cold "thoughts and prayers" wall of do nothing that mass shootings get. Stop politicizing oil spills. Thoughts and prayers for those wildfires. Asbestos makes me so mad, but I can't do anything about it.

Never settle for Newsom

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

We all understand that Kimberly Guilfoyle has been asked to resign not because she was personally enriching herself, but because she was doing that and was a woman, right? Corruption is the game of this admin, but only those in the minority will be punished for it.

The Pentagon says it plans to livestream an execution. Pete Hegseth said the public will be able to watch the firing-squad execution of Nidal Hasan, convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting, scheduled for December 3. Turning a government execution into a livestream should alarm everyone.

A lot of what’s happening doesn’t seem to be spreading anymore by mainstream media. A tree that stood for an estimated 150–250 years was destroyed today to make way for Trump’s border wall.

Grifters gonna grift. At every single opportunity, one party in our country will always take public funds and give it to private entities that they prefer. Every opportunity they will take from the public purse. Yet they complain about handouts.

About 30 states have adopted programs that allow families to spend public money on private school tuition. But our investigation found that many states have little interest in overseeing private schools. Join us Oct. 6 for a virtual discussion. RSVP: events.propublica.org/wild-west-sc...

There's something cosmically absurd about the most miserable people on the face of the planet telling the rest of us they have the right answer and we need to do what they say, or else.

For once, Ken Paxton is being honest: if it weren't for our broken campaign finance system, he'd have no shot. #UnrigWashington candidate @jamestalarico.bsky.social is running to reform our system and fight for Texans. Ken Paxton can't say the same. #TXSEN

Ken Paxton: The only thing that really saves us is that the Supreme Court came along and allowed Super PACs. Otherwise... I would be sitting here and never have a chance...

Hey @anthropic.com I can think of a great way to slow down #AI development like you want. Hold all AI companies criminally liable for everything their agents do. Funny how if that was already the case you wouldn't be releasing a $2 trillion IPO prospectus right now.

New Jersey has fined a huge data center in New Jersey over $1 million for installing and operating 62 large gas powered generators without state permits. This comes as other data centers, like Elon Musk's facilities in Memphis, pollute communities with unpermitted turbines and face no consequences.
