I’ll add that it seems perfectly possible to me that using Claude to do limited computer science work may be genuinely helpful while using Grok to create political content or using ChatGPT to mediate your understanding of the world is as detrimental as eating opium all day.

Today in the extended family group chat, I learned that, for who knows how long, I've been using a brown heart 🤎 instead of a red one ♥️.
Red green colorblindness surprises me even after 54 years of it...

really is incredible how often "men are having a problem, let's fix it using someone else's entire life" comes up. does the institute for family studies understand that children are whole complete human beings whose existence cannot be used as a coping mechanism for their fathers' anxieties? (no)

“YOU hit HER.”
CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Note the ability of the DHS director to exempt specific companies (and individuals or occupations) if it is deemed in the national interest.
Yes, this is a reasonable exemption. Specific individuals, companies, and occupations are so critical we need them.
It also is a pathway to patronage.

Microsoft’s guidance to H-1B employees following the $100K visa fee executive order is essentially to not leave the country and return before Sunday if you’re abroad. Same applies to spouses and kids.
The implication being not to expect them to pay your $100K ransom to enter America.

The White House Press Secretary, the official spokesperson for the Trump administration, told reporters in an official briefing that the president wants to invade "every Democrat-run city" with troops.
Any media still pretending that this is about "crime" is making a conscious choice to lie to you.
