I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

As casual as it all seems sometimes, seeing a sitting senator say this shouldn’t go unnoticed.

This is how you write a goddamn headline.

Our own federal government is ABANDONING American citizens as they conduct an illegal war.

RIP. See you in July, car.

I’d love to have as many people as possible respond to this. The more the merrier.

ICYMI:

Working on a story on resistance. What does that word mean to you? Is there something you do every day that you'd consider your small part of the resistance of the Trump regime and the fascist, authoritarian moment the U.S. is in? I'd love to hear it in the comments, or msg me on signal (in my bio).

BONDI: You didn't ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein

BALINT: Weak sauce

BONDI: And with this antisemitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution--

Getting your eyes dilated is such a weird experience. I’ve been getting this done for like 20+ years and every time I’m like ugh okay fine let’s do it. The drops lasts just long enough to be annoying, then it seemingly fades and half of your day is gone lol.

Unedited/processed and recorded through OBS. Filmed on a Sony A7CII 24-50mm 2.8 G. Using a SmallRig cage, desk camera mount, and RM120 light at full capacity. For anyone who might care for specs.

I was making some BTS/B-roll for an upcoming piece of work and naturally as soon as I start filming either I need to cough or clear my throat 15 thousand times or I need to sneeze. You won't see the sneeze but you may see my eyes start to strain at the end as I struggle to find the record button 😂

But it wouldn't have been that big a deal because my grandparents wasn't fucking POTUS.

I remember having a great-grandfather and and grandmother. When they got older and had certain conversations at certain times a day (energy levels always waned into the PM hours), I realized within 5 seconds that their mental facilities were struggling.

There is so much more than we already know and what we know should be impeachable. Trump is one of the most disgusting people to ever walk this earth.

Criminal. We are so far beyond the pale and yet Trump continues to occupy the White House.

This will protect $575.2 million for the state of Massachusetts.

Essentially, the Mass AG's office filed a multi-state lawsuit alleging the DOE's attempt to terminate federal education was based on its misinterpretation of Title VI. They alleged it violated the Spending and Appropriations Clauses, separation of powers, and the Admin. Procedure Act.

“This Administration does not have the authority to unilaterally rewrite the law, and I will continue to hold it accountable for actions that harm our residents, especially our kids.”

“This result ensures our schools will continue to have the resources they need to educate our young people, and that legal DEIA initiatives, which help students feel safe and supported, remain protected in Massachusetts,” said AG Campbell.
