I'm excited to partner with Pingree Detroit in debuting this stunning wooden dice tray: Modular design with a recycled seat belt liner and recycled leather for dozens of color combos. Reclaimed wood by local ASW Detroit. A one of a kind piece that's 100% sustainable and 100% Detroit! 1/2

Some cops are going to outright kill some protestors soon, and it will be important to remember it's the way cops and the rich and Trump have funded and stoked collective fantasies of authoritarian murder that will have caused those deaths, not the protestors or any ways of protesting

I did not see this, but since I'm doing belated burning Waymo takes today, I'll just say: sympathizing with technology over humans is a deeply troubling sign of sociopathy. In case it wasn't already obvious, A16Z is a hive of profound and malignant mental illness.

Our family is having to deal with this phenomenon too, at least it hasn’t entered very dangerous territory yet. But there are big problems that could be resolved if at least the LLMs stopped being so accommodating to a person’s delusions.

"I didn't forgive then, and I don't forgive now," Malcolm Graham, whose sister was killed in the 2015 Mother Emanuel shooting, told me. I wrote about the 10 years since the attack — and some families' belief that the focus on forgiveness has cost them justice. capitalbnews.org/mother-emanu...

ICYMI! A thread of some of the most powerful passages from Judge Breyer’s opinion ruling against the Trump admin. (The Ninth Circuit has stayed the order for now as it reviews it.)

Fun fact about Kristi Noem is she’s been barred by tribal governments from setting foot on most tribal land in South Dakota (where she was governor) because she sucks. She’s not even fully assimilated into the society that exists within the borders of the country she longs to expel people from

Legal question: If Trump's call-up of the National Guard was illegal, then what authority did (and does) the National Guard have on the streets of LA, where they brutalized and injured dozens of protesters.

So now you can be arrested without a warrant for crimes that they have no proof of, and you will be disappeared into a concentration camp outside of the reach of the judicial system… The Republicans are setting up a system of ethnic cleansing and genocide at an industrial scale

Yeah, I haven't left my house since last Thursday when I went to DTLA for a blood test, then stopped at Superior to withdraw my rent money & pick up some tamales for Elderly Housemate. My Anglo sounding name and my mixed/Northeast Mexican heritage give me some privilege but even I don't feel safe.

It’s incredibly worrying to see this. W/28k followers, I don’t know if this is part of some disinfo network or a genuinely well meaning, but horrifically misinformed, unexperienced person. But (a) don’t do this. And (b), the “agent provocateur” narratives are harmful w/o info.
