There is a lot of public support for deporting criminals, but there is effectively *none* for everybody else, which is the vast majority of immigrants. If you're married to a citizen, 95% of respondents support you staying here. www.cnn.com/2025/06/11/p...

Your weekly reminder not to build LLM systems that combine access to private data with exposure to untrusted tokens and exfiltration vectors (the "lethal trifecta"). This time it was Microsoft 365 Copilot (now patched, they closed the exfiltration holes) simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/11/...

We are *this close* to IT departments sending out those fake phishing emails meant to keep employees on their toes but for LLMs.

my opinion on Sabrina Carpenter discourse is that I want a Mad Max-esque cinematic universe based off her newest music video, this woman is clearly a genius

Some lady is walking around Menlo Park collecting signatures to protect downtown parking -- went to a bunch of older white folks, looked at me (younger person of color with a laptop bag) and skipped right past. Heh.

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

Yeah, I am not excited about the #accessibility implicates of liquid glass. We'll see, but it wouldn't be the first time Apple has chucked accessibility out the window in favor of look and feel. #a11y

So if liquid glass is in, my question is: did Safari fix the #CSS perf issues with `backdrop-filter: blur` ? Or do we have to do the transform trick to force GPU usage? #Apple #web

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.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

What if Yevgeny Prigozhin didn't have an army, was on ketamine, and was galactically overestimating his power but also facing a TACO? This is what you're seeing right now ladies and gents.
