Vice President JD Vance issues warning to U.S. Olympians over politics JD Vance would like American athletes competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics to kindly stop speaking out against the Trump administration: 'You're not there to pop off about politics.'

But they *are* representing the country well, JD.

First amendment n’at.

“Vance shared his view that "the way to bring the country together is not to show up in a foreign country and attack the president of the United States, but it's to play your sport and represent the country well."

It is objectively true, as some of these posts highlight, that because publications have been gutted and have laid off fact checkers and editors, they are now way more vulnerable to running AI generated stories from artificial freelancers. this perpetuates a slop ouroboros.

well an organized right was mine, and they got their shit together...

Explaining helped clear it up. Again, just "tokens" tends to be more on the dev side, and w/certain bg sometimes, even - in my experience.

The tokens part - not the trad language of designers in my sphere.

The phrase "any app or website talk directly to design tools" - in all your posting, which apps or websites has some context. But without it, a normal inference would be that you mean chat.

and lol 1) no that is not the content or extent of my or designers' work, the description was confusing tho and 2) most tech announcements now are all about removing the creator from creation, so it wasn't an illogical question. BUT ty for answering.

ahhh so like taking a design system and sharing it's values/definitions?

no shit.

it was based on "controlling women by any means necessary."

tremendously unsurprising.

An unlikely force? Have they *met* women?

... to remove designers from the design process?

Today, a coterie of politicians will head to Greenwich Village with two goals in mind: to stand up to the Trump administration and to replace the rainbow Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in Christopher Street Park. But will the mayor be there?

I ordered 150 lawn flags to plant last weeken, then remembered that the ground was frozen. Glad they're doing this officially.

Just to note:

I am MORE THAN HAPPY to deliver a version of the talk below at any group/society/uni/whatever. If you run such a thing and feel it would be useful in any way just reach out.

Key themes:

1) Forgotten computing history
2) Practical example of how women get written out of it

Making Sports Work There are lots of examples where sports isn’t dictated by oligarch whims at everyone else’s expense.

Sports doesn't have to be an exploitative mess. It can be both an exhilarating experience, a source of civic pride, and a business that respects its customer base.

32¢. Per vine. That is - they are doing much more skilled work than any CEO I've ever met.

Just Like a Woman by Dianne Hales: 9780553378184 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books In recent years researchers in many scientific fields have actively focused on what being female really means. Their startling conclusion: Almost every assumption made about women--physical, medical, ...

(she immediately discusses why she chose the title, acknowledging its connotations)

* "should we use female crash test dummies in airbag testing?" NAH. hence airbags killing women. don't know if this was ever updated? but also notably affects kids. awesomeness. min 50% of the pop is expendable in more ways than is ever commonly known.

Dianne Hale's _Just Like a Woman_ taught me a LOT about this - pub in 2000 it focuses on female, from the pov that device* & med tests, studies & even BASIC biology doesn't go beyond male as the ONLY definition of human. Trans inclusion in basic "will this kill you" testing will req a lot of work.
