hi, cis folks in california!

he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841

want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

It’s not hard, and even a little note helps balance out the busybodies who are going to complain that they’ll never visit again because they can’t find parking

Classic. The paint isn’t even dry. This is the most predictable bikelash stage of ‘em all. Give it a few months and it will all be fine.

I’m old enough to remember when Republicans in Congress sued President Obama, and a federal judge agreed with them, that he could not spend money to fund certain Obamacare programs without a congressional appropriation.

Key point here:
Not all AI is generative AI. More conventional machine learning is still a thing, and still extremely useful in these contexts.

Yes. EVERY single CA trans rights bill passed the legislature with a veto-proof majority, considering zero Dems voted no.

So if Newsom vetoes them, the fight isn't over--you can then pressure your CA reps to override them!

True story, during the Great Recession, Airbus said that to survive it needed to open some non-EU factories in places with cheap, compliant labor, no environmental restrictions, and no meaningful labor law and after a lengthy internal study the two sites they chose were Bangladesh and Alabama.

livestreamed fact checking. good use of real-time fire data and camera feeds.

That person is either intentionally doing some kind of psyop or is deluded enough to be doing malign actors' work for them.

If you think about nothing but the current crisis, your brain will turn into mush. Sustained effort requires balance.

Every time this happens, I brace for a story like this. Just devastating, heartbreaking, beyond infuriating

This will quickly become one of the busiest bike lanes in Brooklyn. The demand has been there a long time. And it's going to make crossing the street as a pedestrian so much safer.

These programs weren't set up this way simply for the benefit of recipients. They are by design also a subsidy for American agriculture. That's the longstanding red-blue, rural-urban political deal of it. Like how they're getting nuked by the trade war, they are cannibalizing their own coalition.

The entire administration is "new legal analysis."

Is the President a King? Yes, according to new legal analysis. Can we fire civil servants, impound funds and eliminate agencies? *Touches earpiece* Yes, according to new legal analysis.

The shame is that SCOTUS has gone along with much of this.

"Pete Hegseth is doing politics the right way"

"Lebensraum: is it a good investment?"

"Dictators, they may be good sometimes, right?"

"Canada, sovereignty is for losers, eh?"

Her contempt is extraordinary.

Trump thinks he's a king. He believes he's accountable to no one. Not Congress. Not the American people.

And so when his people testify before the Senate, they act like they are bound by no rules and no laws.

The only thing you really need to remember about Chiles v. Salazar is that ADF couldn't find any children harmed by not being able to find counselors who will practice conversion therapy—

so they rely on anonymous complaints on Reddit.

It's a fucking joke.

US universities must reject Trump’s ‘compact’. It is full of traps | Jan-Werner Müller The administration is trying to make nine universities an offer they seemingly cannot refuse

"Precisely because they have been losing court cases over free speech and visas for foreign students, Trumpists now seek to entrap universities in a deal that effectively removes the protections of federal law and gives the administration arbitrary power over them."

Syllogism time!

-- Real men are brave and strong.

-- MAGA men live in the suburbs because they're afraid of crime in the city.

-- Gay men live in the city.

A Colorado restaurant is helping out furloughed government workers! The special runs from October 6-10th, 11 AM through 2 PM. Furloughed workers get a free sandwich with a side or salad with a protein, plus one free beverage (including beer and wine!).

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities. In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account. These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

The extent to which Patreon has effectively permitted creatives to monetize their work in a manner that is largely indifferent to intellectual property law protections* is underappreciated and understudied.

*In large part because it's basically a "Distributed de' Midici" compensation model.

WHITEHOUSE: What happened to the $50k in cash that the FBI paid to Tom Homan in a paper bag?
