Omggg, “What happens when they get it wrong?”?! Give me a human-written obituary filled with typos and inaccuracies over any factually-correct AI shit.

So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster www.startribune.com/new-details-...

Check him out. Minneapolis can have a Mayor who is unconditionally pro-
LGBTQIA+ and with a record of helping pass strong protections for our community.

Our current Mayor botched the Trans Equity Summit, vetoed an LGBTQIA+ Mental Health Program, and failed to condemn homophobia.

The are line dancing in the middle of the protest while shouting Fuck ICE

Should be a bigger story that John McCain’s widow Cindy McCain went on American TV and called bullshit on Israel’s lies last weekend. Like John McCain’s widow is now to the left of Cory Booker on Israel. That’s how bad the Dems are on Palestinian human rights.

This is part and parcel to why I cancelled my Google nest service and replaced all my cameras with local recording only devices. I don't want anyone to be able to grab my footage for any use I don't like our approve of.

Check out Reolink if you want good cameras with no external snooping.

I often will look at the stupid AI summary that pops up on google and follow the sources it gives to see if it’s actually right. Most of the time? It isn’t. And even if it’s technically correct, it’s totally missing context clues that are crucial to subject matter understanding and expertise

Sure I’ll Join Your Cult by Maria Bamford. So much better and more meaningful and helpful than anyone should expect from a comedian’s book.

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man starring Tobey Maguire is older than ICE.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

I’m so damn proud of @katmabu.bsky.social and cannot wait to have her moral clarity and empathy in Congress.

If you’re ready too, consider donating whatever amount you can.

This is such a practical, user-friendly and transparent tool to help people navigate and understand this ongoing and unnecessary disaster. There's something deeply Minnesotan about it, and also deeply teacher-ly, that I kinda feel choked up a little bit.

I love that this beautifully absurd literary magazine pays well 🌮

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

I would love thisss, but show it in theaters!!

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Just called Senator Klobuchar again at her metro office: 612-727-5220. Got right through to a staffer.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.
