And this is why I didn't watch FNL. Too close to home to be fun.

One of the messages I see most on social media is some variant of: “no one cares as much as you do.”

Living in Minnesota through the ICE occupation has taught me that it’s untrue. It honestly might have been disinformation the whole time.

Email to USA Hockey

Formal invitation to the hockey team sent,,, if any people with connections to the hockey team wanna have them email my team my bio. I’m for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Again, Flavor Flav has been walking the walk of his Olympic fandom and his fierce support of women’s teams for a while now. I really hope they go.

If only we approached this understanding that "my liberation is bound up with yours." Visible social disorder *is distressing*, it should be. We are highly social animals who are not actually supposed to live in situations with enormous wealth inequality and social isolation.

a man in a suit and tie is wearing a crown and saying yeah boyy ! Alt: Flavor Flav says YEAH BOOYYYEEEE,!!!

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times.

I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I know smart, well-intentioned people whose lives mean their news & social media consumption is just not enough for "Elon is a creep who lies about everything" to break through in a meaningful way.

And when, in the past, has it been part of the car-buying process to do a deep dive on the CEO?

I agree with you. The veil was lifts a long time ago.

And, for the people who are not chronically online (guilty), it was really easy to miss because our technology and business journalism has largely become stenographers for tech CEOs, credulously reporting out every hype cycle.

It isn't full justice for sure. But they got Al Capone on tax evasion...

The surge in violence meted out by ICE absolutely should continue to be condemned, but I think a lot of people didn't realize or care that activists have been facing life-altering injury from cops for generations. "Law enforcement" has always been the violence. It ALL needs to stop.

I cannot get over how unambigous the langauge about the ICE activity in MN **used by the federal government** is that of an invasion and occupation.

They "conducted a surge", they are (supposedly) doing a "drawdown", but are going to leave a "security force."

ICE is still in my Minneapolis neighborhood today.

Too late.

All of the AI superintelligence hype is warmed over white evangelicalism with a computer.

I will believe it when I see it. MN folks said this week has still been pretty bad.

Similarly, HIPAA vs HIPPA

HIPAA: you have at least a passing familiarity with the actual law and regulation

HIPPA: all you've consumed is online noise

I am terrible about typos. Awful.

But you can bet if I am referencing Frederick Douglass, I am making sure that I put that second 's' in because that is the bare minimum of showing you KNOW WHO HE WAS.+

Um... that is *AN OFFENSE*: speaking about things with authority you don't know about.

In professions, if you operate outside of your scope and something goes wrong, being outside of your scope isn't an excuse, it is an additional infraction (you can be dinged for it regardless).

In the early post-independence era, legislators commonly authorized lotteries to fund schools, roads, bridges, and other public works.[4] Evangelical reformers in the 1830s began denouncing lotteries on moral grounds and petitioned legislatures and constitutional conventions to ban them.[5] Recurring lottery scandals and a general backlash against legislative corruption following the Panic of 1837 also contributed to anti-lottery sentiments.[5] From 1844 to 1859 alone, 10 new state constitutions contained lottery bans.[5] By 1890, lotteries were prohibited in every state except Delaware and Louisiana.[6] Lotteries in the United States did not always have sterling reputations. One early lottery in particular, the National Lottery, which was passed by Congress for the beautification of Washington, D.C., and was administered by the municipal government, was the subject of a major U.S. Supreme Court decision – Cohens v. Virginia.[7] The lottery never paid out,[3][clarification needed] and it brought to light the prevalent issue of crookedness amongst the lotteries in the United States.

In my wiki quest to find out how long state lotteries had been around, came across this little piece of history

The difference is, WE HAVE KNOWN SINCE FOREVER that gambling is a problem.

Not a whole generation ago, anything legal more than scratchers was limited to a handful of physical places that were often kind of seedy.

And state lotteries were not a thing till well into the 2nd half of the 20thC.

The high wouldn’t last. Seahawks safety Julian Love soon intercepted a throw from New England quarterback Drake Maye, and the Patriots never recovered. In the end, Kane lost a bit less than $100,000 in bets that favored the Patriots. “What are you gonna do about it? You get very numb to these kinds of numbers,” said Kane, who works out of his one-bedroom apartment in Philadelphia.

In the future we're gonna look back at online gambling and prediction markets in the same way we look now at cigarettes on airplanes and lead-based paint

I am not an elite athlete by any stretch and I up my protection measures when I have a big commitment coming up and getting sick would throw a wrench in it.

Masking, upping my handwashing/hand sanitizing, being more selective about in-person events leading up to it.

unions, folks: they're real good

And TBC about the jobs: people have and will lose their jobs because CEOs are convinced that because they can save a lot of time with AI that everyone can save a lot of time with AI, not because AI does, in fact, save time and labor.

The result is far lower quality products and services.

It is largely a shell game. We are paying inflated prices, they are jacking up the cost of electricity and water, our jobs are being threatened, and for mostly vaporware.

There is machine learning that is useful and potentially very impactful, but it isn't the stuff that is being hyped.

And the inability to read how it is landing or do any sort of tactical retreat.

He was always testing boundaries but testing means when he found one that people enforced, he could tactically retreat.

I am deeply curious why anyone believed that the guy who has a 60-year track record of stiffing contractors was going to actually pay *them*.

Could we sign up and take shifts? I think I could embody. You know, give her a break every once in a while.
