Californians! Short ballot proposition guide from a measured materialist socialist here- they are CRAZY IMPORTANT THIS YEAR. DON'T SKIP THE MIDTERMS JUST BECAUSE CALI VOTES BLUE. Prop 1- Bond to build housing. Always good, if just a small cork in a big river. Prop 2- Give the state a bigger coffer

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.

It’s finally getting a full physical-media release—or the first half of one, if you want to split hairs, but I have faith! 🥳

I feel bad for Lunasia in Pasadena, moving into their fancy new digs juuuuust in time for street construction to turn that entire intersection into the Lament Configuration. 😬

I like this from Pope Leo's encyclical on AI: "For an algorithm, an error is a flaw to be corrected; for a person, however, an error can be a catalyst for profound change."

As the guy who was hired multiple times 15-20 years ago to write the think pieces about "separating art for the artist" I can say unequivocally that all has been said and argued. You ABSOLUTELY CAN enjoy the work of awful people. But that doesn't make you nuanced or wise. It makes you complicit.

Trump: "We have a thing called a war, or as they would rather say, a military operation. It's for legal reasons. Because as a military operation, I don't need any approvals. As a war you're supposed to get approval from Congress. Something like that. So I call it a military operation."

Oh my god, they’re already not allowed to deport US citizens. This is not bargaining. This is acquiescence in the face of authoritarianism.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday said House Democrats will demand a ban on the deportation of American citizens as a condition of winning their support for legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

"In theater" is a military term that refers to a wartime theater of operations. ICE and CBP agents are in Minnesota, which is one of the United States. The enemy in this military operation are citizens of Minnesotans and the United States.

Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state? HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

There has to be a word beyond outrage for when this loathsome, lying pack of slovenly frauds uses a Web 2.0 version of the Klan to publicly butcher the best humanity has to offer and then dare you to question their right to do it and laugh in your face about it

It’s not enough to say Abolish ICE. It’s not enough to vote no on ICE funding. It’s not enough to confront Kristi Noem or Greg Bovino with Stern Words. If you are a leader, what are you doing to protect your community? How are you using your power, privilege, and position to confront this threat?
