Dems should start working out approximate per person costs for some of these things so they can hammer home "you just paid $683 to deport your son's soccer coach" or whatever.

Mom, You Taught Me to Say “Never Again.” Well, It’s Happening Again. A letter to my Jewish American mother, who refuses to oppose Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza

“Never again” means not starving civilians to death. This, exactly: newrepublic.com/article/1982...

Sometimes it helps me to leave long rambling messages at Ted Cruz’s office about how clearly, Republicans no longer care about democracy. But mostly it doesn’t help.

I bet @judithz.bsky.social can think of some examples off the top of her head. Related: designers who introduce randomization into industrial processes to create individualistic objects. See jongeriuslab.com/product/b-set/.

There are plenty of artist examples where the work is a machine or contraption or system or process that produces the final piece. In fact, any digital art (NFT craze notwithstanding) could be considered in this vein. I’m probably making a point you are well versed in ;-)

Maybe they are yelling alongside you?

Ethics and laws aside, that 747 interior is just hideous.

A digital graphic with a black background featuring green cascading code resembling binary. In the center, white text reads: "What it really takes to migrate COBOL and why DOGE will fail." At the bottom left, the We The Builders logo is displayed alongside their email addresses: media@wethebuilders.org and submissions@wethebuilders.org.

We’ve modernized legacy government systems. We know what it takes. DOGE’s plan to migrate SSA’s COBOL systems without understanding is a disaster waiting to happen.

Here’s why DOGE will fail — and why it matters.

What I don’t get is why they never want to look at all the pollutants industry dumps in our environment. Like known neurotoxins. *shrug*

It’s not “deported,” it’s “imprisoned in a foreign country without due process.”

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

Companies LOVE to make large capital investments in times of instability.

Austin!

Too bad about FEMA…

The Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, says its bandwidth costs have gone up 50% since Jan 2024 — a rise they attribute to AI crawlers.

AI companies are killing the open web by stealing visitors from the sources of information and making them pay for the privilege

It is not “taking over Greenland”. It is invading the territory of a US ally and an EU country and the sooner people stop pretending this isn’t America proposing an illegal invasion to annex their territory the better off we’ll all be.

This—what Trump is doing now in trying to destroy American universities, research, and free speech while blaming it on pretend offense to the Jews is certainly the most profoundly antisemitic act I’ve seen from US government in my lifetime.

DEI does not institute quotas. Quotas are illegal.

The people who told you to calm down because they would never overturn Roe are now telling you to calm down because they will never allow Trump to serve a third term.

Those are grown women though; they only care about clumps of cells that may or may not result in a live person.

Or people just like your accent and want you to keep talking.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

I’m sure their friends can build $150/sf units for only $600/sf.

Elon Musk’s Starlink Expands Across White House Complex Trump administration officials said the company donated the internet service, saying the gift had been vetted by the lawyer overseeing ethics issues in the White House Counsel’s Office.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

@kenmartin.bsky.social How about a shadow cabinet as well. Pete does Transportation, etc to explain what’s happening— press conferences for all depts on a regular basis.

Yes she was here in Austin during the first weekend of SXSW! Along with @doggett.house.gov and @repcasar.bsky.social
