"If DOJ or ICE agents show up claiming emergency powers, election officials should say that none of their instructions will be obeyed without a court order signed by a judge. The “administrative warrants” issued by Homeland Security are not sufficient."

ChatGPT has killed people with its "advice" and generative AI will continue to kill by providing wrong medical and life information until the companies pushing the systems are held accountable.

NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.
Every word of this is a lie
None of this happened
Donald Trump represents moral anarchy at a level that is positively Biblical, and I don't mean the gentle parts
a heavily slurring Trump lies his ass off: "Not only did Talafreako state that God is transgender, he actually said that if Jesus Christ himself came and visited the Texas legislature, Jesus would be promoting sex changes for little children."
Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."
they did those things & also made the new Battlestar Galactica! Partly to say, "WE DID TELL YOU, here are some Oscar nominees so you LISTEN this time"
[not technically shilling for my book because it doesn't come out til 2028, but this right here 👇 was a notable part of the underpinnings of BSG]
Bombshell: Greg Abbott’s senior team met secretly with Big Tech two days before the state made it easier and faster for data centers to connect to Texas’s electrical grid.
In Greg Abbott’s Texas, billionaires come first and Texans come last.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
*This must be the boldest public statement that I've ever read in my life. Your scheme is bigger than the Industrial Revolution plus the Internet, and it's happening right now, and you need 2 trillion!?

Have to be honest here:
Comic con tables are getting so expensive that I can see a point where indie creators are priced out of exhibiting. It simply won't be worth the cost / time.
It's a worrying trajectory I don't see many discussing.
If exhibitors can't afford to exhibit, there's no show 🤷♂️

"Elections where Trump — or any other Republican — wins are fine, but elections where Republicans lose are corrupt. The only solution, of course, is to let the DOJ intervene both before and after any elections that Trump has fixated on."
NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher.
The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.
"I don't want to work at this place anymore:" EA workers decry mismanagement and corporate greed after mass layoffs
Current and former EA employees paint a bleak picture of daily life at one of the video game industry's most prominent publishers

Late last year I interviewed a host of folks from one of my greatest loves… ‘The DIY Arcade scene’ for Issue 5 of @apwot.bsky.social
This week the weighty and lovingly designed issue dropped through the letterbox…
The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States.

My contribution to Cheesecake Factory discourse:
Aryan Brotherhood of Texas gang members assaulted a mixed-race family. I identified one of them because he worked at a Cheesecake Factory and their Instagram page posted pictures of him.
He has a back tattoo with SS bolts and phrase "Aryan Soldier"
It's well-documented that the president maintained a years-long friendship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker.
It might strike you as odd there aren't direct allegations of Trump engaging in child sex trafficking.. except there are. There are SO MANY. They just never get reported!
Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.
