Yell In a War

So uhh not trying to get anybody in trouble here but where is that massive online network of anti-child trafficking pizza warriors that went after Hillary Clinton and Tom Hanks I think, where we go we go all, sound of freedom etc ? Got a rich politician for you to look into bsky.app/profile/sdhe...

They really don't want Grijalva sworn in and voting to release the Epstein files.

A study by the Rockefeller Institute of Government found that in fiscal year 2021-22, California provided about $83 billion more to the federal government than it received, nearly three times as much as the next state, New Jersey, which provided about $29 billion more than it received from the U.S

I mean I don’t know that but it seems like a safe assumption

A doctor and former California senator is Rep. Kevin Kiley’s latest Democratic challenger Dr. Richard Pan, who is best known for his school vaccine bills, wants to hold Republicans accountable for slashing health care.

This is incredible news

@drpanmd.bsky.social is an incredible fighter and a fierce proponent of common sense public health measures. Kevin Kiley was my rep when I lived in the Eastern Sierra and one of the worst Republicans in California

“Ultimately you write alone. And ultimately you and you alone can judge your work. The judgment that a work is complete—this is what I meant to do, and I stand by it—can come only from the writer, and it can be made rightly only by a writer who’s learned to read her own work."

Ursula K. Le Guin

I once again repeat, local cops don’t have to be progressive allies to eventually realize they outnumber the overpaid, unqualified, untrained divorce magnets talking down to them on their own turf

wild how a monarch who can only be removed from office by the grim reaper is more worried about being associated with someone in the Epstein files than Republican members of Congress who have to run for office every two years

Catholic News Agency picked this up so I think it's going to become a right wing talking point. (Also, the essay in the QT is public now if you want to read my thoughts) www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/267191/...

🚨 If you live in the city of San Diego: we need your help! 🚨

Next Monday, Oct. 20th, our city council will be discussing an ordinance relating to resident safety and due process and your support is needed

A staff report summarizing the ordinance is here:

the pope: yall are telling on yourselves

this guy: *tells on self*

Sanctions may not be imposed without written notice and an opportunity to be heard, because the state does not get to take a person’s property without allowing them to defend themselves. (Yes there are plenty of times the state violates that principle but it is better that it be upheld.)

JUST IN: Judge Mehta threatens contempt and bar sanctions for attorney Carolyn Stewart — who has repped numerous Jan. 6 defendants and pardon recipients — over filing a motion with “fabricated” citations to local rules and refusing to correct it.

This is not a slam against any one account, I'm observing today's dynamics and thinking about how people get herded toward foregone conclusions here, reflexive control style

Just a reminder that this place is rotten with bad faith accounts trying openly to split apart groups, redirect discussions, and ruin any chance of creating solidarity 🥰

he doesn’t seem bothered, and I’m sure he is aware that he could turn off quotes and replies at any time. QT dunking is peak twitterbrain but idk he seems fine maybe he actually doesn’t care if people on the internet think he’s stupid

wait centipedes should not be inside at all???? Here i have been assuming they are fine subsisting on silverfish

no it's an ad agency focused on youtube content marketing, like it's otherwise actually a fairly normal contract gig but then I got to that part and was like ohhh hmm ok so the thing here is, I don't work for stupid people if I can avoid it

if lawyers who insist they checked their filings for hallucinations keep getting sanctioned for leaving quotes ChatGPT made up in their briefs...

We have to talk about how much of our lives is inundated by scams, paving the way for this to flourish. A feature of poorly regulated capitalism has been to legitimize scams into every area of life and transfer the burden of discerning legitimacy - "doing your own research" - to individuals alone.

also this is a contractor position so this requirement is actually setting them up for an employee misclassification lawsuit imo

I turn in 10,000-12,000 words of heavily researched writing per week and rewrite another script of the same length every week for just one of my freelance gigs and this process would be much SLOWER if I had to use ChatGPT and then go back and manually check everything for hallucinations

We will also pay for you to have access to Perplexity Pro ($20/mo) and ChatGPT Pro ($200/mo) for research and writing. Note that we expect you to use AI to help write your scripts. If you’re fundamentally opposed to AI then this position isn’t for you. Also, if you think you can just dump a bunch of research into a chatbot and hand off the AI slop it generates, this position isn’t for you.

that's clearly a lace front, Jesus must be having some male pattern balding these days

Wow. New Economist poll finds only 34% of Americans say ICE's use of force has been justified, vs 51% who say it's been excessive. And they oppose agents wearing masks by 52-35.

Yep, ICE is becoming a pariah agency, and that's gaining deep penetration in the culture:

I'm am not, nor have I ever been, a member of the Christian religion but I simply do not think it's appropriate to use Charles Manson as a reference when sculpting Jesus

without saying anything that's a keyword that could promote his company, it appears to be focused on products that make the cybertruck more useful for off-roading by adding features that vehicles actually useful to off-roading come with out of the factory
