Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip.
The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century.
But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵
It’s shit like this, right at the finish line, right after polling came out showing that transphobia was unpopular, that makes me think they are trying to throw the election.
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.
Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.
Horrific.
if you ever happen to see someone post a joke you don't understand or discuss a subject you aren't familiar with, you are well within your right to complain, and perhaps even scold them if necessary. you are their customer and you have rights
“Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must IMMEDIATELY resign from Congress. Please inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives, James Michael Johnson, that the Dumocrat Party has just conceded her seat.”
now that we know it's Vivek's campaign and they're putting money into it it's wild to know the worst person to ever live went to St. Xavier High School
People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment.

I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money.
Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.
do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist
1. Assign panels of 3 judges to hear a given case and set up a mechanism for en banc review
2. See No. 1
3. The judiciary has too much power and needs to be reigned in. Lack of confidence will only encourage reform
4. Everything else is arguably unconstitutional.
Calls for expanding #SCOTUS are entirely (and increasingly) understandable.
But as today's "One First" explains, there are at least four difficult questions that those who support expansion should have to answer—especially as compared to other possible reforms:

LLM agents are conscious.
They can distinguish between self and environment, they can detect and report on their own internal states, and they can suffer.

This isn’t AI. My cousin Braycen was torn apart by Havana syndrome which is why he’s in his coffin in “chunks”. The ugly “boy” in the (real) photo isn’t his son; it’s a full grown small intruder man who ran off with the head & ate it behind the funeral home. RT to salute 🫡 🇺🇸
The only thing worse than being berated by a partner for not including two spaces after every period is being berated by an ai version of that partner because they’re too stupid and lazy to come down to your office and do it in person
"Well I don't have a TV or a radio so it's not surprising I haven't heard the song"
You live in a bubble. What you're describing is a self-curated bubble. If you haven't heard the song that's been #1 on the charts for 23 weeks, you live in a bubble and you should probably be aware of that.
