Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago.

And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

Instead of a song being stuck in my head, today what's stuck in my head is the "fuck ya life. bing-bong!" pigeon video.

Wow. Thread about a RICO lawsuit against entrenched white businesses who've been coordinating in secret for years to keep any Black-owned business from opening in a central entertainment district in Kansas City. They even had a playlist of Black artists that couldn't be played, like, oh, BeyoncΓ©.

I am genuinely losing my mind. The joke is, prima facie, objectively true.

The reason Westport has continued to suck and decline in quality over the last decade is because it is literally in the death grip of racist petite bourgeoisie

The receipts described in the complaint are damning. Text messages between Westport community property owners conspiring to strategically β€œeliminate β€˜problematic’ owners in Westport, and for the purpose of preventing β€˜problematic’ people from patronizing Westport.”

A secret β€œNo Play Listβ€œ banning popular Black artists like BeyoncΓ©, Meg the Stallion, Drake, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Migos, and Travis Scott from being played at venues. Landlords admitting on tape that they had no legal grounds to block a Black restaurateur’s lease, but doing it anyway after the CID intervened. And a twelve-member CID board, every single member white, acting as gatekeepers over who gets liquor licenses and who gets β€œturned in to Regulated Industries,” the city agency that polices alcohol permits.”

If Lee’s claims are proven, this is what a modern conspiracy to permeate segregation throughout a community looks like. Not burning crosses. Not explicit laws. But contracts weaponized as cudgels, liquor licenses held hostage, and music turned into evidence of who deserves to belong.

Welcome to what can only be described as a new form of Jim Crow in Kansas City.

The lesson I have learned over the last 10 years more than any other: Hatred and bigotry and greed are the flames of fascism, but its kindling are people who claim to be well-meaning, yet diagnose our problem as "polarization" without giving thought to the causes over which we are polarized.

Last week @theverge.com published my essay exploring the limitations of large-language models. This week, that same essay is cited by a federal judge in Michigan to distinguish the process of human reasoning from what these models do. Very, very gratifying.

A screenshot of a tweet from Ludwig saying:

a couple weeks ago I found out one of my oldest viewers passed away

she started following when i had 100 viewers

she was super active in chat, funny, and helped turn my goofy dream of being a streamer into a full fledged career

she was also trans, and my community was one of the few places she felt comfortable expressing that in

so today in her memory im doing a charity stream for the Trevor project

ty to anyone who tunes in or donates

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

Federally funded school lunches were instituted because 25% of draft-age men during WWII were classified 4-F due conditions related to childhood malnutrition. The GOP doesn’t like the school lunch program either
