Assault with breadly weapons is on the rise...

Hochul, Pritzker, Newsom and the rest of the Dems should offer the GOP an alternative to counter-redistricting—federal legislation to update the 1929 Reapportionment Act to at least *triple* the number of seats in the House by capping *the size of Congressional districts*, not the number of seats …

Annnd @xai just deleted Musk's new prompt which told the Grok LLM to "not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect, so long as they are well substantiated."

That prompt seemingly caused the LLM to become Nazi 4Chan, and has now been deleted, but other recent changes remain.

I am here for the marginalized. I am here for the targeted. I am here for everyone who feels unsafe. Ring my bell. Knock on my door. Tell me you don't feel safe, and you will have sanctuary.

It is literally the least I can do.

Oddly enough, having admitted how difficult Father's Day was for me in the past, sharing the pain and disappointment, this year it was barely a blip on my radar. I've got my furry girls, the boys next door, and all the kids and dogs in the neighborhood.

A random musing: I know I'm not in any way cut out to be management material. At a prior job, I'd be a "(senior) staff engineer", a parallel to management.

Where I'm at now, I feel that I'll be pressed into a management role when my 69 year old coworker decides he's done and retires.

Somehow, the future is both going to be a dystopian techno sci-fi hellscape AND we're gonna have coal and measles and robber barons and a permanent underclass.

I’m currently employed in manufacturing. Tool and diemaker simply do not have the capacity to actually make the amount of tooling that would be necessary to reshore even like 5% of currently overseas manufacturing. We’re already at like 16 week lead times.

Just because I don't like to fight dirty doesn't mean I won't when going up against Skum and villainy.

Aside from single malt whisky, ryes, and bourbons, I really can't stomach or enjoy alcohol without being mixed with something...

It's funny how quickly, once you know & care about people who are negatively affected by some of your choices/stances, you reconsider, or double down. I'm in the reconsider group. I have extremely negative opinions of the double down. I'd rather support the people I care about & admit I was wrong.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Brenna Trout Frey • 3rd+ Former Attorney at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Mea... 1h • Edited • © + Follow Skadden Resignation Today the executive partner of my former firm sent us all an "update" that attempted to convince some of the best minds in the legal profession that he did us a solid by capitulating to the Trump administration's demands for fealty and protection money. Fellow Skadden attorneys: If you agree with Jeremy London's position that the firm should not engage in "illegal DEI discrimination," should devote prestigious Skadden Fellows to the Trump administration's pet projects, and should help "politically disenfranchised groups who have not historically received legal representation from major national law firms," (taking into account the robust pro bono work that major national law firms already do), then by all means continue working there. But if that email struck you as a craven attempt to sacrifice the rule of law for self-preservation, I hope you do some soul-searching over the weekend and join me in sending a message that this is unacceptable (in whatever way you can). As one of my more eloquent former colleagues put it: "Do not pretend that what is happening is normal or excusable. It isn't." There is only one acceptable response from attorneys to the Trump administration's demands: The rule of law matters. The rule of law matters. As an attorney, if my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue to work for them.

A Skadden attorney resigned today, citing the firm’s decision to strike a deal with Trump amid pressure campaign on law firms.

“[I]f my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue to work for them,” the former Skadden lawyer, Brenna Trout Frey, wrote on LinkedIn.

Hi, I’m God.

If I accidentally added a reporter to a group chat about plans to smite evil, I would DEFINITELY get fired.

Most memes about printers refusing to print because of an irrelevant toner/ink needing to be replaced are funny. But I seriously doubt a lot of people know why "yellow" is often the complaint. Unless, of course, you've paid attention these last 3 or so decades...

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

“The Vancouver International Auto Show has removed Tesla as a participant in this week’s event, after the automaker was provided multiple opportunities to voluntarily withdraw. The Vancouver Auto Show’s primary concern is the safety of attendees, exhibitors, and staff. This decision will ensure all attendees can be solely focused on enjoying the many positive elements of the event.” Eric Nicholl – Executive Director, Vancouver International Auto Show

#NEW
#Tesla has been kicked out of the Vancouver International Auto Show. Organizers say the company was offered the opportunity to "voluntarily withdraw," and that the move was done to ensure "safety" of attendees and exhibitors.

If, as the Trump admin contends, the federal courts lack jurisdiction over a federal government flight over international waters, then there is nothing stopping the Trump admin from deporting American citizens. As soon as they reach international waters it is fait accompli.

The Trump regime is reportedly planning to gut a unit within the DOJ that prosecutes corruption by elected officials.

This comes after Trump's DOJ dropped bribery charges against Eric Adams and suspended enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law.

"Drain the swamp."

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.
