Here is the LAPD telling ICE to GTFO of Dodger Stadium. The only reason they came was to start a riot. What they got was the boot. More of this, California.

When the person you ask to clean up your quote is also an idiot

Fear of the New York City subway is a mark of low moral character. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-subway...

Stopped by University of Michigan’s Juneteenth Interfaith Prayer Breakfast. A moment of reflection and a reminder of the strength found in community.

Oh look, it's all bullshit. Masks off.

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.

That’s absolutely repulsive. “This is a disgusting country, I thought, irredeemable visually, psychically, morally, and ethically, and whatever is likable about our people’s warm patter does not in any way forgive what we have done to the world.” www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

Meta's AI discover feed is (still!) leaking user conversations with its AI. With its scale/import in shaping people's perception of reality, it is hard to think of a worse actor in the AI space than Meta, or to imagine a more invasive, user-hostile product than this www.404media.co/meta-invents...

Punk rock kid buskers (‘The Whops’, tiktok) near the Edgware Rd. They run into Paul Simonon, play Death or Glory for him. He asks if they know The Guns of Brixton. They do -

Another good reminder from today is that to win this we all need to get used to cooperating with people we sometimes find highly annoying

One of the greatest, most disturbing quotes I've seen in a long time www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...

The persistently excellent @gustavoarellano.bsky.social knocks this one out of the ballpark. Kristi Noem has been doing political theatre for Donald Trump and couldn’t stand Alex Padilla upstaging her. Americans demonizing people who don’t look and speak like you. 📰 www.latimes.com/california/s...

Outstanding writing and reporting here. Takeaway is what you might expect: The Dept. of Defense is a shitshow under Hegseth. But the hows are articulated in such impressive and absorbing detail.

So much waste and harm could be avoided if we just treated these as fragile, dangerous tools suited for very specialized use cases, like we do with lasers and circular saws, and not as magic thinking beans
