Those memories come back to haunt me They haunt me like a curse Is a dream a lie if it don't come true? Or is it something worse That sends me down to the river Though I know that the river is dry youtu.be/y7BUXRsTbvI

LA is not a distraction. The Parade is not a distraction. The speech at Bragg was not a distraction. None of it is a distraction! All of it matters and there are millions of us that can focus on each of them. There are 257 Democrats on the Hill that can pound all of it. Just fucking fight!

I want to take a moment to appreciate Javi. 20 years ago, Javi was a carpentry foreman who regularly ran the tailgates for projects I was safety support on. English wasn't his first language. Might have been his fourth. At the end of every tailgate, he told folks "Have A Safety Day". Please do so.

Pretty clear they didn't allow female soldiers either. It's all primarily white men.

Why am I not surprised that a satellite comms network put up by a company full of cowboy engineers would be leaking enough radio noise to f* with radioastronomy.🤦

I challenge anyone who believes LLMs could act in self-defense in the way described to provide a plausible account of how LLMs could affect events in the real world in such a way to do so. If one thinks LLMs can control network hardware, one needs to learn more about how IT actually works.

I keep coming back to this: a lot of people out here demanding more foresight and self-restraint from people facing down armed agents of the state than they demand of themselves in between their work email and Pornhub browser tabs

Great expression of something I've been trying to articulate for years. The Democratic party as we know it just will never get past that elites vs peons / PC vs NPC way of thinking. It's the dimension on which Schumer & Emanuel are the same & the reason both need to be in places of no influence.

Remember, Trump’s DoE is trying to roll back accessibility requirements for buildings (Section 504). @[email protected] wrote about this and her 9 June update links to a newer comment template: www.lflegal.com/2025/06/ener... All comments due 16 June 2025. #accessibility

Relative to anti-discrimination I mostly work in accessibility spaces, & there it's a mixed bag: Trumpists aren't gonna do the work required to roll back Title 2 so it's still got force of law for entities (e.g. civil claimants, etc) who might give a shit.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Here's another fabulous #murderbot interview, with Alexander Skarsgard, Jack McBrayer, and Paul and Chris Weitz. It's on video and there's a transcript: collider.com/murderbot-al...

Can't skim for shit anymore. My eyes are messed up in ways that mean my brain is filling in a lot of details, which leads to words getting omitted or misread a lot before the text gets to my conscious brain. I have to read slowly. Can see myself having to increasingly rely on audio.

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.

Thunberg has laser focus. It can be incredibly impressive.

Torture. He's describing torture. It's amazing more people haven't died from this. Maybe a lot of people have, & it gets presented as 'massive intestinal infection' because the treating physicians have no idea that someone gave the kid a draino enema.

PSA for any reporting about “the bleach community:” What they are promoting/using is a bleaching agent but is not “bleach” that we know. Laundry bleach is ~5% sodium hypochlorite & can bleach clothes & break down skin. ‘Miracle mineral solution’ is 25-30% or more sodium hypochlorite. It is poison.

ASIDE: hm, feel like I've seen this image somewhere before....
