One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong.

How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

When Trump was willing to let 15 million of the poorest people in the world die by vaporizing USAID there simply was no reason to doubt he’d do the same thing here.

Oof. *crumbles into dust*

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

I often think about how Cheney wanted revenge for what happened to Nixon, and how we live in the ruins made by that dream.

Woke up today to the news

Say what you will about Dick Cheney

I've said it before and I'll say it again now:

Live your life in such a way that millions of people do not rightfully have reason to cheer your death.

We’ve gotten numb to it but Trump threatening NYC voters with federal funding to vote a certain way is the kind of shit that should get him unanimously impeached today. Insane fascist bullshit.

“Fuck man, we’re about to win. There must be something we can do to stop this.”

Money, attention pour into normally under-the-radar Pennsylvania Supreme Court retention vote The retention of three Pennsylvania state Supreme Court justices is drawing an unusual amount of attention — and cash.

Folks, this is another big one in Pennsylvania.

Please vote! Spread the word.

Indeed…

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Scott Adams thinks intervention by powerful people merely corrected a “glitch”.

Famous rich right wing asshole gets the Trump administration to intervene to save his life. Still can’t connect the dots to his prior bad political agenda.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

They are destroying what SHE built.

We've got you 👍

even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim

This is an especially worrying statement when facial recognition can be inaccurate, biased, and generally make mistakes. Basing whether someone should be in the US or not, and ignoring physical media like a birth certificate, is ripe for disaster bsky.app/profile/jose...

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo

“I’m an American citizen so leave me alone”

“Alright, we just got to verify that”

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

If you're in the Harrisonburg, VA area and interested in volunteering to help Democrats on Election Day (easy stuff! like handing out sample ballots for a couple hours at a polling place), DM me and I'll get you in touch with the right people or sign you up, myself.

A culture that surrenders itself to LLMs is a culture trying to preserve itself in amber so that nothing new can ever exist, time cannot progress forward, we all stand still together.

Until the biosphere collapses.

Emotionally stunted fascists with luxury bunkers love this tech, for some reason.

Again LLMs spit out whatever information is used to train them. In this instance sexism in, sexism out 🤷🏽‍♀️.
They amplify all pre-existing biases which is why pervasive unregulated use of AI is so dangerous.
