People talk about Paschal Donohue like he's some budget balancing guru, but if I handed in my Leaving Cert Accounting exam and had forgotten to fill in the column where you're supposed to house 15,000 people I'd be failed on the spot.

Social Security Data Is Openly Being Shared With DHS to Target Immigrants For months, the Social Security Administration was quietly sharing sensitive data about immigrants with DHS. Now it’s official.

as a reporter, the part of this that i’ve simply never understood is how the next person to ask a question when he does something like this doesn’t simply repeat the question that set him off. it’s not just solidarity with your colleague, it’s an important question that remains worth asking

This is why I talk about sheriffs a lot when it to comes to immigration: they decide (in most states) on whether to hold people for ICE at all!

A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

These small, seemingly insignificant jobs that feel like "anyone" could do them are often where people first get to cut their teeth in a field where it's hard to get anything resembling a handhold

Oh yeah btw the reason why Vine is being relaunched with great fanfare and no Al is because it's jointly operated with an Al company and they probably don;t want to pollute their scrap pile with stuff they've already shat out.

I've said this before, will say it again:

The CEO of this place got her career started in the technofascist crypto space, so the idea that she was some leftist progressive stalwart has always been a bunch of horseshit.

She is literally -one- of them and always has been.

A party that couldn't endorse Mamdani. . . has room for Marjorie Taylor Greene

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

Jack Dorsey is real close to Musk.

DiVine is made by RabbleLabs, on their site you will find a widget called "And Other Things" that takes you to another domain and explains a lot of stuff about their/Nostr's Ai.

Most likely they just want a free dataset of tons of actual videos to train on.

Abolish ICE and destroy their computers and databases.

It looks as though it may arrive when you least expect it... but specifically upon November 21st...

I vaguely remember this - but goddamn

JUSTICE FOR LISA GILROY 😡

The Court recognizes that the relief sought by the defense is rarely granted. However, the record points to a disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps, missteps that led an FBI agent and a prosecutor to potentially undermine the integrity of the grand jury proceeding. Therefore, in this case, “the Court has before it a rare example of a criminal defendant who can actually make a ‘particularized and factually based’ showing that grounds exist to support the proposition that irregularities may have occurred in the grand jury proceedings and may justify the dismissal of one or more counts of the indictment.” See Naegele, 474 F. Supp. 2d at 10 (citations omitted). Accordingly, the defense request for all grand jury materials is granted.

A federal judge ORDERS the disclosure of James Comey's grand jury minutes to the defense, citing a "disturbing pattern pattern of profound investigative missteps" and casting doubt on Lindsey Halligan's declaration about the gap in the record.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

i see this shit, the game goes in the bin, doesn't matter how much I'd enjoyed it or what my plans to write about it had been

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
