One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

I know everyone is loving the Musk schadenfreude but we have to stay on the alert for the possibility that Musk is going to turn his sights to those centrist dem conventions going on and further entrench transphobia and anti-immigrant sentiment. And they would easily work with him.

Fitzgerald was so real writing “They were careless people - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” So many messes they won’t be cleaning

Rehabilitation for musk should be a nonstarter for virtually every American. Dude pillaged our government to the point that it will not recover in my life, if ever. He has set humanity back centuries. He wants to be liked? Let him try again in his next life, after begging for forgiveness in this one

The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.

The spinning of Joss's murder as a situation of his own making is already happening. Shut it down. Vehemently.

Friendly reminder to all GOP officials and voters: The President of the United States is a temp job. As such, Executive Orders do not supercede the Constitution. It's that simple.

The speed of writing code has never, and will never be the bottleneck. The bottleneck, the limiting factor, is always in the thinking about the code and how it works, understanding it. People who use chatgpt to write code are literally removing the only part of programming that is actually useful.

Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK. America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.

I hope people get violently angry about what happened to Johnathon Joss. On the first day of Pride he was shot and killed by homophobes who burned down his house and killed his pets. They were openly bigoted towards him and the police didn't do anything to protect him even after facing violence.

Disgusting framing of a hate crime by CNN. It wasn't a "shooting incident" - he and his partner were targeted, their dogs killed, their house burned and Joss was murdered

He and his husband were terrorized by homophobes who murdered him, in case you didn't know, which you very understandably might not given the headlines.

🚨 Techno-fascist billionaire Peter Thiel is building the surveillance state of Trump’s dreams. His company Palantir is now working with Trump’s regime to track ALL Americans using AI. This isn’t sci-fi. It’s happening. And Thiel HATES when you talk about it. So talk about it. #50501Movement

@andykimnj.bsky.social You had one job. ONE JOB wrt protecting all of us - slow down any and all confirmations - and you blew it. You will be a one and done, Senator. I will always appreciate your response on Jan 7th, but this is inexcusable. Regret doesn't cut it.

It’s looking a lot like Martial Law to me. Trump doesn’t need to declare it. It’s already in our streets. This is who backed up ICE in Minneapolis today, the ATF, FBI, city cops and sheriff’s dept. They’re not bringing these vehicles or dressing in full combat gear for the undocumented immigrants.
