Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to break laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

1. After the Skrmetti decision, the New York Times has published 6 articles dancing on the graves of trans youth and spreading disinformation on care. It was cited 7 times in the ruling. Read my latest on what will be a black stain on the NYT for a generation. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

“At least 639 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Iran, with more than 1,300 others wounded…”

I've never understood why people think "you hate Israel!" is an insult. If you knew a guy who was constantly murdering children and setting fire to his neighbors' homes while meddling in your home life, you would probably hate that guy. The problem is people don't hate Israel ENOUGH.

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

The day before they ruled that banning trans children's healthcare isn't discrimination Wake up. They are trying to wipe trans people out. Stop calling people hyperbolic and fucking look at it

People are like, "Wow, so the Supreme Court can just decide what medical care you get instead of you and your doctor?" Yeah man. That was Dobbs. They don't give a fuck about us, about precedent, the actual text of the law, the intent of the law, or anything else. The law is fake.

Indigenous leaders were present in the Senate on Monday to give testimony about Bill C-5, legislation that Prime Minister Mark Carney is pushing to have passed by July 1. Several senators asked those leaders their opinion about the speed of the process.

America's secret police just detained a guy who might be Mayor of New York City and his NYPD escort. We have to abolish ICE. That should be the baseline Democratic Party position.

For those who think evacuating Tehran is possible based on #Israel’s warnings, which are nothing but a performative act. It would take weeks if not months to evacuate Tehran. What’s represented here doesn’t even come close to capturing the full size of #Iran’s capital city.
