I was just as shocked with the news about the route 2 bus only lane as you. We are working on it. We need to prioritize pedestrian safety and not go backwards on our transit investments.

18 Lawyers Caught Using AI Explain Why They Did It Lawyers blame IT, family emergencies, their own poor judgment, their assistants, illness, and more.

Hilarious and sobering reporting from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social @404media.co.

The “I didn’t know” crowd seems unsurprising to me, but it’s very interesting how frequently folks cite some kind of temporary disability—illness, short term mental health, workload.

Just want to emphasize how astonishing and unprecedented this is: The sitting Seattle Police Chief refused to answer a factual question about a budget line item (the removal of the city's contract with SCORE Jail) because the City Council President learned about it from my website.

Ah yes, indeed, "safety protocols." Surely these protocols will be making sure workers in foreign companies are not being abused? Ensuring there's not CSAM in the dataset? Enforcing we don't use an entire municipality's water supply on data centers?

Oh... nope. Guess not.

for years, this thing was like my video from The Ring, where I had to get other people to watch it in order for me to stay alive

Angelo State University: Unwritten Policy Bans Teaching “Transgender Topics” University policy restricts a wide range of faculty expression.

Yes FIRE has written about this particular event and tagged it with the appropriate university.

A Public University in Texas Bans Discussion of Transgender Topics in Class In a directive similar to President Trump’s executive order, Angelo State U. told instructors they can no longer suggest that there are identities beyond male and female assigned at birth.

What are the chances that thefire.org is forced become liberal in an effort pretending to report on the censorship taking place on college campuses?

I might be in the minority on not really caring about the workflow changes on iPad, but the look of the whole thing is honestly pretty rough around the edges.

So "liquid glass" is just kinda ugly, right?

Really interesting to see people put the word “responsible” before “artificial intelligence” and somehow convince people to believe them.

Are you someone who has been or could be affected by imminent ICE raids in Chicago?

Do you have friends, family members or neighbors who have been or could be?

Whether it shows a decline (it does) or not, it would still be critical context for understanding the context.

Remind me, why is the 2nd paragraph of every single “law and order party” article not a visualization or crime stats over time?

‘What’s next? Sexual education materials, reproductive rights information, DEI or “critical race theory” resources—the list goes on.’

“US legislators have been disarmingly explicit about their intentions to use restrictions on sexually explicit content as trojan horse… We’ve already seen them move the goalposts from porn to transgender and other LGBTQ+ content.“

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics…

The additional $80,000 that Noem received from the dark money group in 2023 represented a significant boost to her roughly $130,000 salary as South Dakota governor.

I wonder if they had to control for bisexuals again

I really wonder, will this backfire on the “only criminals have something to hide” crowd that’s been mainlining meta juice all these years?

idk where I would draw the line on who is allowed to horny-post but I know that '73-year-old Georgetown Law prof pushing the argument that the Constitution's birthright citizenship clause doesn't provide for birthright citizenship' is on the wrong side of the line

My name is [your name] and I'm one of [representative's name]'s constituents. I'm calling to urge them to vote NO on three internet censorship bills: • the Kids Online Safety Act - KOSA • the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act - IODA • and the SCREEN Act All three bills claim to protect teens by placing a duty of care on online platforms to prevent exposure to harmful things. But Republicans keep expanding the definition of "harmful." These bills are gifts to fascists. [bail out here at 0:30 if you want] KOSA's sponsor said it would "protect minors from the transgender in this culture." The Heritage Foundation said it would use KOSA to block abortion information. Both other bills allow the FTC to enforce them. FTC Chair Ferguson signed up "to fight wokeness" and "the trans agenda.' The people in power now can't be trusted with laws like these. [bail out here at 0:50 if you want] Don't give weapons to fascists. If passed, these bills will harm LGBTQ teens, adults, and anyone who needs information on reproductive health or abortion. Vote NO on KOSA, IODA, and SCREEN.

if your reps are democrats, please call or email about these bills. we all hate calls, but calls are better. this script is 1 minute with bailouts built in. personalizing is good!

schumer & blumenthal cosponsor KOSA. add spice. you'll get an intern. be polite.

We are vulnerable and not safe tonight. The fact this is not live on every network leave me gobsmacked.

Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear safety workers but can’t figure out how to reach them The workers, whose agency oversees the nation’s nuclear stockpile, had been fired on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts.

Yep this seems totally reasonable and normal, nothing to see here...

“25-year-olds who’ve spent their entire lives watching US democracy crumble before their very eyes find the whole thing dull…. because they all failed AP US History.” Yeah fuck you.

For once, absolutely agreed with @nytimes.com 😜 this is NOT the time to tune out: it's the reason I UNSUBSCRIBED from NYT a year ago.

The US Treasury Claimed DOGE Technologist Didn’t Have ‘Write Access’ When He Actually Did Sources tell WIRED that the ability of DOGE's Marko Elez to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded days after US Treasury and White House officials said it didn't exist.

A US Treasury Threat Intelligence Analysis Designates DOGE Staff as ‘Insider Threat’ An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

I propose removing the gender/sex identifier entirely, and replacing it with a blue, do-not-accidentally-pat-down-my-penis check mark.
