One aspect of the quorum break that's not getting much coverage is that it also killed the anti-trans bathroom bill, at least for now.

Wendy Davis on a long dress speaking at a microphone in front of rows of women standing with trans rights signs, at the Texas Capitol steps
"Let us pee in peace," says Wendy Davis to cheers. She is linking abortion access and trans rights and calling for bodily autonomy for all. "Our trans sisters deserve to be safe in the restroom."

Texas writer and director Katherine Craft's Audible comedy depicts a musician's tumultuous return to Plano as she adjusts to new limitations.
From @kitoconnell.com last week: This 9-part audio comedy series features a rare disabled protagonist who is allowed to be sexy, flawed, and anything but 'inspiring.'

The thing about parroting the lie that AI will be as skilled as crucial professionals is if people keep employing AI in place of repetition & comprehension based learning or having it write for them it will eventually be true because they will have underdeveloped or eroded problem solving abilities.

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, βtoday I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circlesβ]
If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

I agree with this and I would add that there can be no Democratic Stephen Miller because Democrats despise radical proposals. Proposals that call for uprooting what exists. Mamdani is proposing relatively tame policies coloring within the lines and look at how the elite Dems are reacting...

I reviewed "Shaky," the 9-part Audible comedy series from writer/director @katcraft.bsky.social, and spoke with the creator about why it's important to allow disabled characters to be at the center of their own stories ... even stories where they act like assholes.
