Perhaps Newsom should have spent less time chumming around with authoritarian buffoons on his podcast and more time preparing and strategizing for the entirely predicable thing that is happening in his state right now.

Is there a way to make common chatbots _not_ pretend they are a personal entity? Basically for it to avoid use of pronouns and embodied language? I truly detest this type of mimicry and it puts me off using most tools massively.

Here's the latest episode of Better Offline. I'm joined by @internetofbugs.com to talk about the realities of software development, what coding LLMs can actually do, and how the media gets it wrong about software engineering at large. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

It wasn’t an ICE raid. It was an ICE-involved raid bolstered by the brand new ICE field office branded with Nazi iconography and nobody really knows why but it’s super complicated so we needed a militarized caravan of FBI agents with giant guns to carry it out just to be safe

FWIW we’re now at 167 cases of nonexistent law/cases being cited across the world. It’s a mix of pro se litigants, attorneys, and even adjudicators. AI is here to stay. Even if attorneys stop using it, pro se litigants won’t.

Wasn't clear to me how the shuttering of the birthing center at Copley Hospital in Morrisville VT is the dismantling of the department that also provides reproductive health services at a time when the fascists are attacking any form of reproductive freedom. We all suffer if this resource is lost.

www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/a... 💔💔💔💔 What a sad loss. Edmund White's books were islands of hope and recognition for many of us growing up. One of my first censorship battles involved A Boy's Own Story. Those ideas are still under heavy assault and relying on us all to dare to speak the unspeakable.

Pleading with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee to ask Josh Divine at his confirmation hearing tomorrow if he still believes homosexuality is morally equivalent to bestiality, or that Christians are "obligated ethically to impose their beliefs on others." I do not ask for much.

Another masterful gambit! Drumpf the Cheeto is certainly done for after we mock him for chickening out and not following through on fascist policies. Everyone knows the Democrats are the ONLY party that u can count on to actually follow through on fascism!! 🌮

As a veterinarian I need lots of context to understand whether you’re talking about AI (Avian Influenza), AI (artificial insemination), AI (artificial intelligence), or AI (appreciative inquiry).

On this Memorial Day, remember that Hitler used used scapegoats 2 create a strong national feeling by creating an in-group & an out-group. Hitler enhanced this by using aggressive language against enemies he created. He also deported enemies of the state & unwanted people to concentration camps.

lol I just got momentarily hysterical thinking about the fact that the New York Times got its managing director for communications to confirm on a Saturday that it is standing by its reporting that young women in China have tiny hands and this is why Apple has its factories there

This passed 215-214. We're going to lose our healthcare because 3 senior Dems have died this year. We lost Roe because Ginsburg didn't retire. We lost the election because Joe ran for reelection. Our country is being destroyed because geriatric Dems can't retire and let go of power.

This gets the story wrong on a fundamental level because it assumes DOGE was about what Musk claimed. DOGE was about stealing data, getting Musk contracts, shutting down investigations and regulations of Musk’s companies, and terrorizing federal workers. On that front, it succeeded.
