The "can't read on bluesky" epidemic is frustratingly helped by experts.

My resume isn't in my bio, but that doesn't make me a rube. Can't we chat like I know math? Don't you wonder whether I know more about radiation than you?

love when democrats talk about kitchen table issues as if trans people and immigrants don’t have kitchen tables πŸ™ƒ

The "pro-trans" side on sports has never been "Literally anyone should be allowed to enter a women's elite-level competition simply by declaring that they are a woman five minutes before the start." Never. Ever.

The "nuance" that Newsom's describing is what trans people have been ok with all along.

It's actually more like, you buy X high-end GPUs when you actually need 50% of that count. You radiate them and over time check how much their work is effected. Some portion, while not being radiation-hardened on purpose, may be harder against radiation than anticipated for consumer electronics.

There was a really interesting thought from Ingenuity/Perseverance on Mars: if you buy a million computer bits (things damaged by cosmic rays) and do tests to *find* radiation-hardened pieces randomly made, it can be more cost-effective.

(But yes you're right. Undoubtedly there's upkeep, new chips)

When Democrats throw trans people under the bus, I understand their (flawed) logic.

Can ANYONE point me down the twisted path that is Jeffries' mind? Is he just the best politician ever for doing this on Fox News, to get some R voters?? Does the math really check out for him?

Why? Straight up, why?

Is there really Democrat voters who are like "we need ICE to terrorize the right people [which is to say immigrants but not citizens somehow]"?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity.

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker.

Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

You: This is so weird I swear u made a very similar joke about this recently

Me: It is not weird I did do that cuz Trump already tried to distract us with space aliens just 9 days ago but now he's doing it again even more

You: Oh good I was worried about my brain

Me: Your brain is wonderful

Judge orders DC police to release bodycam videos related to DOGE takeover of Institute of Peace RCFP attorneys represented journalist Marisa Kabas in a public records lawsuit seeking access to the police bodycam footage.

β€œThis is an important win not just for The Handbasket but for the promise of transparency in DC. The court’s ruling vindicates the public’s right of access to body cam footage, and ensures that the public will get a full and accurate accounting of the episode at the US Institute of Peace last year.”

Then last January, he had an idea for a new bit: He’d set up a fake tip line that people could use to report anyone they thought was an undocumented immigrant. It was darker than his other stunts, but it felt topical, the kind of challenge he wanted to try. At the very least, he thought, he might get a few calls he could talk about at his next show.
Instead, his website has received nearly 100 submissions from across the country: people reporting their neighbors, ex-lovers, Uber drivers, strangers they saw at the grocery store. One tip came from a teacher reporting the parents of a kindergarten student at her school.
β€œI mean, they seem like nice people or whatever,” the woman told Palmer on the call. β€œBut if they’re taking up resources from our county, I’m not into illegal people being here.”

This @drewharwell.com story about a man who set up a fake ICE tip line, and the sheer range of people who called in, is gutting www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

My two part plan to fix America

1) set speed limits based on safety of drivers AND not-drivers
2) jillions of automated speed sensing cameras with ticket authority

(secret third step: cops can't speed any more so quit in droves)

Yes Grok the AI isn't a person and it doesn't have agency, but as a counterpoint, many entities made only from protocols and computers (and sometimes people) are treated as a "person" in writing.

I don't like AI anthropomorphization any more than anyone else but there's a grammar issue hidden here.

I know it's "really scary" that people might be forced to live in tents outside your apartment but I need you to know that the most likely person to steal from your car is someone who has legal access to your garage. Yes that's right your rent-paying neighbors are most likely to steal from you.

I wish when I did crimes that the only consequence was that people like the entire Democratic establishment would post "that's not legal" with a sad face emoji while quoting news stories about me doing all those crimes I just keep doing
