they say closed mouths don’t get fed so I will ask you directly, please buy my new album at layersofmeta.com!

Granting rights to an AI is ludicrous. Among other things, accountability and responsibility have no meaning to any such entity.

Does Tommy even know what the Muslim Brotherhood is or where they operate?

At the Memorial Bridge this morning for the No Kings march to start. The band is playing “All You Fascists Bound To Lose.”

TRYING TO MAKE IT HARD FOR THESE STUDENTS TO VOTE BUT THEY WEREN'T HAVING IT. THEY GOT UP EARLY AND MARCHED TO THE NEAREST POLLING PLACE, AN HOUR AWAY, TO VOTE.

love that my vote was already counted in CA

waymos are driven by the ghosts of people who died in debt

Christian Crumlish's Leadership By Design 2026 session is up: a year of building an AI product-management assistant, the real failures, and why the human has to own the loop. Watch it: chicagocamps.org/christian-cr...

one way the right wins is by not being pedantic

The Musk mindset that I have seen is that those that died are not actually people, so he killed no-one. He uses the metaphor that if AI kills people it will not be personal, just that they were ants in the way. His response to death numbers from USAID shows a similar outlook.

it was either malicious negligence on a Hitleresque scale or deliberate murder of as many nonwhite people as possible. I think door #2 is more plausible

Bits of this are pretty good, though "Sometimes the constituent created a small, private world that was soft and warm and simple. Sometimes hard, and cold, and complicated, and due on the 15th."

If there’s a horrible fire the secret service is hustling Trump out of there and locking the door behind them

What Trump has realized is that to really defend Washington from terrorists and antifa and other bad guys you need to concentrate the drones and machine gunners in one highly visible building that can be attacked line of sight from any direction or just blown up.

concerning stuff happening right now at USWDS: -removing open-source contributors, -losing institutional knowledge, -departing from principles, -security risks through an “agentic-first” approach, and -making changes without sufficient human accessibility and usability testing.

Two security researchers shipped me a pink plastic kid's smartwatch from Amazon. When I wore it, they tracked my movements, surreptitiously took photos of me, even listened to my conversations. The same backend they hacked is used by 30+ watch brands for kids. 🧵👇 www.wired.com/story/hacker...

Reminder that Lewandowski was a Special Government Employee with a zero dollar contract. Because he saw govt as a graft opportunity for much bigger bucks

He was never a decent person; he is a narcissist. He is now a narcissist with dementia and a growing terror of both death, and dying in prison. Every day the GOP allows him to stay in office, they are risking their OWN lives as well as ours. frankgeorge8675309.substack.com/p/dammit-its...

It’s interesting to watch a lot of people who said not a word as RFK Jr. went through his confirmation process suddenly understanding that he may be the most dangerous Cabinet member of all. More attention on this is good, don’t get me wrong. But we needed it before he got the job.

Child sexual abuse survivor alleges Elon Musk’s AI chatbot used photos of her to generate new illegal images

My god, this is an outrageous, loathsome ICE policy. Can you recall another regime in history that used public marking and tracking to single out a minority group?? JD Vance—who helped lead the demonizing of Haitians in Ohio—has this young man’s death on his hands too www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Trump's corruption is unprecedented in American history, and recovering that money will require equally unprecedented action. We should do everything humanly possible to get as much of it back as we can and return it to the American people. It's YOUR money, not his.

Let this be the waffer-thin mint that at last explodes the orange Mr. Creosote ...

Among other things, Elon Musk now makes clear his belief that women must be disenfranchised. And he's now the sole source funder of the Texas GOP. Shouldn't Texas GOP candidates who are running with his money be asked about this?

i still have this clipped in my scrapbook of "Good Shit"

This is outrageous. It also gives @normeisen.bsky.social another tool to fight back against DOJ. Trump FINALLY figured out he's on this case but he apparently has no grown ups to explain how he's giving Norm more leverage.

Bunch of these today

They could always sign up to give comment at a public meeting.

“If this was true, I would be in jail” is not a real profession of innocence; it is a brag about how strenuously the state protects the male right of private sphere violence against women and children.

"For Hesse, metaphors were not passive representations of things but constituted conceptual tools actively shaping scientific thought." This is precisely why I've cited Hesse in my (much less profound) writing on scientific metaphor. aeon.co/essays/why-a...

Yep. This is the clearest description of Karl Popper's rule I've found:
