Lead ACLU lawyer: “The Court correctly held that the President lacks authority to simply declare there’s been an invasion of the United States and then invoke a 18th century wartime authority during peacetime,” Gelernt said. “Congress never meant for this law to be used in this manner.”

One angle I'm always thinking about is how much free stuff Trump promised. There are people currently expecting 1) no income tax under $200k, 2) free IVF, 3) a baby bonus, 4) a $5000 "DOGE dividend." And there is no plan to do that stuff! Just campaign rhetoric.

If you're not masking and pretending the ongoing Covid pandemic is over, kindly shut the fuck up about vaccine hesitancy and vax rates. You are the one contributing to the problem and helping to dismantle public health! @juliadoubleday.bsky.social outlines it all very well here:

"Listen, we knew it wouldn’t go over well when we intentionally tanked the global economy. And to be honest, it would have been weird if it went over well, because it wasn’t good for anybody. Not even rich people, which is how you know we’re serious about having lousy policies."

I just ran into someone doing the whole “don’t eat a thing if your great-grandparents wouldn’t recognize it as food” and I’m begging people to know a little food history and understand how far back you have to go to find food without additives.

A bunch of tech CEOs are talking about being “AI-first”, the latest in a series of CEO fads like “return to office”, “founder mode” and “pivot to full fascism”. This one’s weird, though, because it only makes sense if… none of their workers are great at their jobs. anildash.com/2025/04/19/a...

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

How do you use a 'red card'? Hold it up to a window, from inside your house. -The side facing outward, in English, tells the authorities that you know your rights. -The side facing inward, in Spanish, tells you how to declare those rights. More here: www.ilrc.org/red-cards-ta...
