We hand-delivered this to the Mayor's staff moments ago.

Chris was doing his job. The only disrespect was coming from the podium.

NYC: if you can get to Federal Plaza near the Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall subway stops, come support Brad Lander, the latest Dem politician to be manhandled/detained by ICE for no legal reason. Zohran Mamdani is there in support of his fellow mayoral candidate. NYT's darling Cuomo nowhere in sight.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.

This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Dismantling ICE should be a core tenet of the Democratic party going forward.

Brad Lander, NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate, is arrested outside immigration court New York City comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander has been arrested at a federal building in Manhattan as he was trying to accompany a person out of an immigration courtroom.

I repeat: ICE is a state sponsored terrorist organization.

In fact, pointing out that a mass political movement in this country is built on authoritarianism and fascism is the job of an objective journalist. Speaking truth to power is the very purpose of journalism. Pretending that Stephen Miller is not a hateful racist isn't objective, it's lying.

There's this constant confusion in the public discourse about "bias" in journalism. What the right and even most of the center and left fail to realize is, objectivity doesn't mean you don't call authoritarians authoritarians just because someone might not like it.

How do I become the person at Bandcamp that just listens to music all day and once a month goes "This is the best of *insert genre here*"

This is not a blueprint for "the next wave of journalism".
This is how journalism dies.

Is it more or less of a tear jerker than the Mr Rogers doc?

We started showing Scout Playhouse last year. And of course introduced him to Big Adventure as soon as he was old enough. Very pumped about the doc.

Ugh... over a decade of saved articles that I'll need to export. That I've paid to save permanent copies of.
Plus, Pocket's integration with Kobo is one of the big reasons I've always opted for their e-readers.

The X Half is just proof that Fuji have fully lost the plot at this point. They know that people like their film sims and their retro styling, but somehow have managed to have all the wrong take aways and just keep getting further and further into gimmick territory. (And yet, I still want one.)

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Fucking Nesmith.

Has Google considered the possibility that, maybe, AI overviews have driven an increase in specific search queries because the results delivered are less good? If the AI is giving the right answer the 1st time, why would the volume of searches INCREASE?

Chicago Sun-Times Prints AI-Generated Summer Reading List With Books That Don't Exist "I can't believe I missed it because it's so obvious. No excuses," the writer said. "I'm completely embarrassed."

That the "writer" of these stories didn't just throw the company under the bus immediately was a huge mistake. www.404media.co/chicago-sun-...

this is the moment from Microsoft's live stream of Build when the day 2 keynote is interrupted by a Palestinian tech worker. Microsoft's head of CoreAI, Jay Parikh, briefly stopped his keynote and Microsoft muted the stream

Actually, Jonny, buddy, this is the exact opposite of censorship. This is free speech in action.

He is one of the few people I would potentially trust with this project. That being said, we don't need this. We can leave the X-Files alone. They've already brought it back via a terrible movie sequel and two underwhelming mini seasons. Just let it go.

Fuck you.
Seriously.
As the parent of an autistic child who did play baseball, has written poems, is a beautiful and creative child, fuck you.

It's very hard to not wish for a mass extinction event some days.

Move fast and break things...
But like, don't fix what you broke.
And certainly don't learn from those mistakes.
No time for reflection.
Just keep moving... we're almost to the edge of the cliff.

Goddamnit. I decided a long time ago that, while the @chasebliss.bsky.social Blooper was pretty cool, it wasn't for me. But this demo has cause a bad GAS flareup. youtu.be/QLe07mEx5AM

I switched to a flip phone.
The experiment lasted one day.
I learned a lot.

I'll probably be all in once they sort Kobo. But "you can only read it in a web browser or through our app" is kind of a deal breaker for e-books if you ask me.
