Same.

Who knew ranked choice voting would be so heartwarming?

As usual, I learned a lot from this piece. Very important reading. Yes, it's lengthy, but it will reward your time.

Look at this pusillanimous bullshit. I voted for Katie Porter.

Posting for @acatwithnews.bsky.social, who is out in Paramount, CA, where federal agents reportedly are conducting ICE raids, and have completely gassed out the neighborhood Photos from Sean, who understandably cannot post updates right away.

ICE raids hit across Los Angeles today—and locals are rising up. This is what resistance looks like. ✊🏾 This was about an hour ago…

Heavily-armed DHS paramilitary forces in military vehicles fired dozens of stun grenades at a crowd of onlookers today in Los Angeles.

Woah. Hey @nathantankus.bsky.social is she dreaming or does this idea have legs?

More about the TESCREAL cult attempting to take over the world. Here’s a non-Musk-associated URL for the thread: xcancel.com/xriskology/s...

Nadine and I have been watching this and we are just fascinated. The overbearing influence of the church would not be my cup of tea, but otherwise, Tudor farming life seems pretty decent! www.imdb.com/title/tt4103...

Mastodon is doing just fine! Y’all will come around someday.

Believe it or not, all three of these fish are the same species… the bluehead wrasse. Wrasses are protogynous hermaphrodites, meaning they transition from female to male over the course of their lives. Each phase can look radically different from each other as evidenced here #coralcitycamera

This is rough advice for those of us that aren’t terrific fans of showboats, peacocks, and gimmicks. It’s also correct. Contemporary politics are following the same script as professional wrestling. We don’t like it because we neglected journalism for 50 years and recoil at what it has become.

If your corporation's business model relies on lawbreaking, your corporation has no legal legitimacy. We don't let narcotic cartels and trafficking rings list themselves on the stock exchange: why should OpenAI or Facebook be any different?

Jony Ive is an asshole and I immediately lose most respect for anyone (far too many) who openly worships the man. Choose better heroes.

“The future imagined by AI evangelists is meant only for a small sliver. The rest of us will be left clamoring to survive on this boiling planet. Alternatively, we can call bullshit on their eugenic futures and listen instead to the collective intelligence of the people.”

This shit is exhausting. Thanks to Ed for having the stamina to publish the truth of the idiocy of late stage capitalism.

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that the single biggest scandal that will be written into the historical record about Joe Biden is that he was old and not anything to do with Gaza and that’s just incomprehensible to me

This piece was eye opening for me. I wasn't previously aware of CFIUS. «This interagency body, chaired by the Treasury secretary, can simply stop overseas mergers and acquisitions of companies, purchases of real estate and even significant minority purchases of the stocks of a single company.»

This color! This rose is called Lasting Love #bloomscrolling

We do You Pick Roses here at birdsongorchards.com and I love how every bucket our customers cut is totally unique. #bloomscrolling

You are just the right size to be my friend

good morning from casa del plumber

It’s hard to capture how amazing the field of roses looks right now. #bloomscrolling

This hen is so unproductive. I never get any eggs out of her.

My grandfather was a computer scientist. An innovator in relational database technology, he was instrumental in the F-16 project. Which is to say that I have personal reasons for relating to Weizenbaum’s important and decades old message about the dangers of AI. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle.

“The average American has three friends”

I want a social media app that brings me updates from that other, saner, timeline. The alternate universe where Reagan never had a trickle down fever dream and Al Gore brought us nationwide high speed rail.
