"AllTrails has a new generative AI feature that can be asked to 'shorten my route' or 'make this more scenic.' But the people in charge of searching for lost hikers say the feature is going to exacerbate an issue they’ve been warning about for years: hiking apps providing false information."

It’s a failure of journalism to do shit like this. Donald Trump has said that something will happen “within two weeks” at least 5,000 times in the past decade with easily over 4,900 of those “deadlines” passing with no action.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

The Constitution says that, if the president vetos a bill, Congress gets to try to override that veto. If the presidency can veto any law on the books, passed at any time, with no possibility of override, the entire Article I lawmaking process is mute—merely a non-binding suggestion.

It's way down on the list of horrors, but National Parks having to post signs asking visitors to report anything there that provides "information that [is] negative about either past or living Americans" is utterly pathetic. The past isn't all positive, kids. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

I’m starting to think that when they say “no one is above the law” what they actually mean is “we are the THE LAW and no one has the right to even question the legality of our actions”

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

the Chinese practice their parades for months, sometimes years - this is not conducive to actual military readiness but it does look good! the sloppiness and half-assedness of this is indicative of both the general vibe of Hegseth's Pentagon and the lack of US tradition here.
