The Resonant Computing Manifesto Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that.

Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us.

in the 80s, a neo-nazi terrorist group robbed an armored car. that money ended up in the hands of white supremacists all over the country. some of it was used to buy AT&T stock for a racist stunt at a shareholders meeting. AT&T said no to nazis in '88 but i guess being racist is good business today.

this is an excellent piece chronicling the systematic spread of anti-trans policies -- aimed at demonizing a tiny percent of the population to attack them and, ultimately, the entire queer community -- via the longstanding, organized, well-funded far right

"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."

It's fucking crazy to me that Keith Olbermann is out here posting about Olivia Nuzzi like "haha funny thing, I used to date her, it's crazy" as if this current shitshow has nothing to do with him. Here's Nuzzi in 2013 glazing Olbermann in writing while dating him www.huffpost.com/entry/msnbc-...

who’s surprised that epstein’s decor was shitty

Excerpt from ruling: “Bluntly put, why the Court ruled as it did remains unclear-and without reasoning, this order cannot even be considered as persuasive. Second, Justice Kavanaugh's conclusion that the plaintiffs lacked standing in Perdomo rested on the claims asserted in that case specifically, plaintiffs there sought to enjoin defendants from targeting individuals for immigration stops based on certain factors, such as race or ethnicity, their accent, and the type of work they did. Id. Justice Kavanaugh reasoned that plaintiffs in Perdomo likely lacked standing under Lyons, as defendants may "stop suspected illegal immigrants based on a variety of factors," and thus "plaintiffs ha[d] no good basis to believe that law enforcement will unlawfully stop them in the future" based "only on [prohibited] factors." Id. at *3 (emphases in original). In contrast, this case concerns an entirely different context, namely, civil immigration arrests rather than immigration stops, which were at issue in Perdomo, and a different type of challenge. Specifically, plaintiffs are not arguing which factors defendants may consider in their application of a legal standard, but rather contend that defendants have abandoned the proper legal standard entirely. See Pls.' Reply at 8. Thus, Justice Kavanaugh's concurrence in Perdomo, to the extent it has persuasive, let alone controlling, authority, is inapposite.”

While we were sleeping, a huge ruling:

Federal judge blocks the Trump administration from warrantless immigration arrests in Washington, D.C. “without a pre-arrest individualized determination … of probable cause.”

She addresses Kavanaugh stops head on.

Why is Donald Trump’s name now on the @usip.org building? Who put there? And when?

Oh I’m all about the train wreck. Mostly wanted to see if she’d talk shit about Ryan Lizza. There was a tiny bit of that but she didn’t drag him nearly enough. But yeah, it was a chore to listen to her speak and I’ll never get that hour+ back.

does someone have kompromat on Jeffries? Just fucking stop talking, man.
