Here’s the “Presidential Memorandum”:

www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

There’s no Insurrection Act invocation; Trump is federalizing 2000 CA Nat’l Guard personnel only to “protect federal functions.”

*Without* invoking the Insurrection Act, anything more would violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

just that period reminder that content posted to Bluesky is public to *anybody*. if you don't want to see it used in a court of law, don't post it here.

and DMs here are not E2EE, they can be subpoened. a great use for bsky DMs is to share secure comms and move the conversation there.

it's kind of nuts that the Empire unveiled the Death Star, destroyed Alderaan, and had the Death Star blown up on the same day. Imagine what the memes on Star Twitter were like.

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy.

The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

Stephen Miller, an immigration hardliner and the White House deputy chief of staff, wrote on X that Friday’s demonstrations were “an insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States.” On Saturday, he described the day’s protests as a “violent insurrection.”

Protestors are "insurrectionists"

Immigrants are "invaders"

Always remember that, at its core, fascism is an ideology of weak, terrified little babies

I have been, and will continue to post this often. Your Guard, Reserve and active duty family, friends, neighbors and coworkers are going to need it.

Please share far, wide and often!

Utah lawmakers’ own study found gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Will they lift the treatment ban? The Utah Legislature's own newly-released study found that gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Now, will lawmakers lift the treatment ban?

Utah commissioned a review of the evidence on gender-affirming care for youth alongside its ban in 2023. The results have just recently been reported.

An Assigned reporter will be reading the entire document (which the Tribune story says is over 1000 pages) over the long weekend.

Probably looking at $40b in capex, 18mos of spinup time, and reduced selection of models (no more project red or rose gold nonsense), but yes I think they could do similar gross margins at similar prices after all that, maybe even better if they vertically integrated it

NYTimes author acknowledge that "Covid alarmists" were right, while denialist (illustrated by Musk) were out of touch. Also pointing out Covid has radicalized those disconnected people.

They seem to be shadow banning people for running deep research with openai on primary sources on eg security guarantees for post soviet republics

maybe it was keyword flagging or something, this is a kind of shadow ban grimes hit with when trying to get elon in medcrisis

natevince Suggested for you Following 50.4K 1,551 Liked by dianettewells and others natevince Heartbroken and Confused! I was terminated on Valentines Day from my dream job. 48 weeks ago I started my permanent NPS position as Yosemite's new Locksmith. y I apprenticed under the previous locksmith the 4 years before his retirement. He had a wonderful carrier of 23 years with NPS. He said, "This is a good job Nate, the park can't run without a locksmith, do your job well and your'll always have job." Well now 3 weeks short of my probationary period l've been fired. I've had exemplary performance and am essential for park operations. The people that fired me don't know who I am, or what I do. They simply don't understand this park and how big and complex it is.

I need to immediately move out of housing, I have lost my career and I have NO PLAN. This was my dream! All of my eggs were in this basket and I planned to stay till retirement. I had an appointment to meet a realtor today, but canceled, everything has been flipped upside down. I'm scared I?????????????????????!!!!!!??????????????????] I was terminated at 1:15pm 2/14/2025 via email. Yosemite National Park the size of Rhode Island and has more locks than a small city, and without a locksmith I'm deeply concerned for the safety and security of the park and people in it. This is not right! -1 @nytimes @nationalparkservice @yosemitenps @outsidemagazine @nationalparkfoundation @natgeo @sfchronicle @meidastouch @washingtonpost #iwantmyjobback #iloveyosemite #nps #unemployed

The deranged DOGE rats have fired Yosemite National Park’s *locksmith*.

hey do you guys know a good crossposting app that works with twitter and might allow me to fade in some of my previous posts / bangers? investing in some … uhh… platform diversification seems necessary. spending a lot of time being difficult at the birdsite but the writing is on the wall for me

I actually think it's important that we stop with the bullshit and admit Adrian Dittmann is obviously Elon Musk and this means Elon Musk frequently speaks to Alex Jones.

It's important for people to understand that the person running the country frequently speaks to and agrees with Alex Jones.

The bs Spectator story that launched all of the dutiful and unexamined “debunked” repetition by media outlets does not hold up to even cursory scrutiny. Once you start looking it actually reveals an insane network of criminality, as well as revealing how deeply Musk is working for and with China.

This is an interesting poll.

I would like to see this alongside questions like, “When did you first hear of this agency?” or “What does it do?”

USAID is the new Soros simply bc a handful of bluecheck fools said some bs, did the podcast rounds, and Fox picked it up.

oh my god

Text Shot: This approach led to an unexpected phenomenon: The model began allocating additional processing time to more complex problems, demonstrating an ability to prioritize tasks based on their difficulty. DeepSeek’s researchers described this as an “aha moment,” where the model itself identified and articulated novel solutions to challenging problems (see screenshot below). This milestone underscored the power of reinforcement learning to unlock advanced reasoning capabilities without relying on traditional training methods like SFT.
