You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

If you get stock options, the difference between grant price and executed price is treated as wages. It will appear on W2 as well.
You need a lot of shares and a big jump in price, and a bit of bad luck to not execute earlier.
Be careful of internet scams that will provide you a certified copy of your records.
I recently needed a new copy, and the first website wanted more than $200. Do not use these services!
Go straight to the state archives. There should be a small fee and mail services. Mine cost less than $25.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei penned a public letter explaining the danger of the Defense Department's request to remove certain constraints from Claude, and refusing them outright.

tl;dr
No mass domestic surveillance.
No fully autonomous weapons.
Good stance for Anthropic.
Strongly recommend this excellent piece. It actually understates the US failure: Brazil and S. Korea arenβt outliers. Quite the opposite. Since 2010, 31 democracies have convicted or banned leaders from office. Accountability is the democratic norm. America is the sole outlier.

Shame on you. No, it's not a surprise.
But that's because being a former heroine addict is not RFK JR's defining trait, nor is it anyone else's.
His well-known anti-science, anti-vaccine idiocy, and brain worms are the main issues.
And they've boxed Mark Cuban and his friends out from saying no more Lina Kahns like he did during the Harris campaign. The masses will be hungry for antitrust enforcement, nay I say, antitrust vengeance.

I'm not going to say I am a one-issue voter, because I am not.
But, whichever Democrat or Democrats run on a promise to break up corporate media without mercy.... those are the candidates who get my immediate support. And yeah, if they want to make it part of overall aggressive trust busting, ok!
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Under the new proposal, concealed weapons permits would be a valid form of voter ID. Student IDs would not. It couldn't be more obvious that they're trying to suppress the vote.

Fair, but that doesn't excuse really poor phrasing and pitching what you really want.

But that slogan is too easily spun into "you support lawlessness." You favor gangs.
Demilitarize police
Reinvent policing
Almost anything is better than using the framing that failed.
If the Dems had better messaging and media control, the energy for that should have morphed into "reimagine policing."
Almost anything would have been better than letting that slogan take hold and be weaponized against the true goals.
What? If obtaining vital records is funded by a different revenue bucket, then it can be a free transaction.
And tax corporations for this service as part of their new minimum tax requirements.

I would add Fall from Heaven, and Fall Farther from Civilization IV.
These mods reworked the whole game into vampires, werewolves and a completely new world based on a long standing D&D campaign of the main author.
A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.
