We're still right, and they're still wrong, and when this ends they'll say they 'were scared of repercussions' or 'none of us saw it coming' or the rest of the ass-covering we're already hearing now. There'll be no self-reflection, no self-accountability. Be prepared for that and keep fighting.

Politicians who have physically gone to visit and advocate for people kidnapped by the Trump-Vance administration:

Why remember anything at all Why exist in a body Why not transcend into the full, ethereal commodity-form

A bill to waive state regulations to allow data centers to build small nuclear reactors in rural Arizona was vetoed story via @jerodmacevoy.com

Trans Lifeline is a good place to direct resources if you’re looking to help here fuck everyone involved with this decision

I'm Kevin. I've been trying to start a career in data for the past half decade or so with a few starts and stops. Followed you over at the bad place when it wasn't as bad. This is Hypatia. She's the best baby in the west. We rescued her when she was almost 2 years old in the summer of '23.

"We cannot give everyone a trial," says the president of these United States.

They're creating lists to send to the camps.

I tried out marimo today while playing around with my personal finance data and I don't think I'm going back to VSCode for my notebooks. Using uv made it super easy to spin up a virtual environment and add marimo to it. Getting a kernel running was faster than I imagined. #python #dataanalysis

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

So that's what that black smoke coming from the Pentagon meant.

The Mississippi Supreme Court has ruled 8-1 that a trans teen cannot legally change their name until they turn 21 solely because they are trans despite having the support of both parents. This is unconscionable. www.advocate.com/law/mississi...

Can you help me get 10 more paid subscribers and get me to 725?

I don't know what happens next in the Vatican but I do know that Stanley Tucci is involved.

I took a look at the top “tech” podcasts and holy SHIT all but, like… 2? of them are just straight up fascist propaganda by VC firms promoting their defense investments or lifestyle scams from right-wing bros? Obviously we don’t need any more podcasts, but it made me think I should bring mine back.

LOUDER FOR THE POLITICIANS HIDING IN THE BACK

Video from Friday shows ICE buses heading toward an airport in North Texas before turning around as the Supreme Court ruled the Trump administration must, for now, refrain from deporting Venezuelan men based in the state under the Alien Enemies Act.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

If Edgar Allen Poe were a WASP on Nextdoor he'd post something like "Anybody know this bird? He gently rapped, rapped at my chamber door today"

Trump didn't spring from the ground fully formed like a dwarf in middle earth, he is the end result of a million decisions made before him.

This. Exactly fucking this. Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov All public officials take note

THE AI CON author copy unboxing video! Pre-order at the-con.ai w/@alexhanna.bsky.social who will have her copies soon, too.

So Google's latest consent violation is them generating "AI" audio of your voice in YouTube as an opt-out "service." Here's how to turn it off (original images reposted with alt text):

So there are signs that the very unethical autodubbing feature YouTube is rolling out will be opt-out instead of opt-in. Found these on their FAQ pages for it, so please keep an eye on your channels if they ever push the dubbing to be auto-enabled. Keep this shit off.

What if Elon is the first autistic person RFK has ever actually met and that’s why he assumes we don’t pay taxes or go on dates

Marco Rubio is now acknowledging that it might not be possible for Trump to end Russia's war on Ukraine (Trump promised to end it before he took office!)

BREAKING: A court ruled that our case challenging Rümeysa Öztürk's unlawful detention should move forward in Vermont, instead of Louisiana, and that ICE must transfer her there. Nobody should be shipped to a detention facility halfway across the country for writing an op-ed.

It's getting very hard to avoid the conclusion that a major problem with the Democratic Party right now is that its consultancy and other agenda-defining members more or less agree with Republicans on immigration
