Wtf of course it's not impossible????? The *prompts* to use it are ubiquitous and inescapable. But you don't have to say yes.
I don't use AI in my work. Here I am, I exist, I am possible
THIS IS A THESAURUS. IT ALREADY EXISTED
shut up about Biden’s age, media
you won, your guy is the president now and burning the world down around our ears
at least have the dignity not to take a fucking victory lap
I couldn’t write a more eye-opening lecture on race and white identity politics than what this administration is offering in its differential treatment of Afrikaners versus every other refugee or immigrant group.
Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners?
TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country
How long do you think it takes a NYT reporter to order dinner?
“Reports around this establishment suggest that this particular patron is interested in procuring for sustenance the ground meat from a grass-fed bovine, shaped into a flat disc and fried on the grill before being placed on a roll.”
"Suspension of the one of the basic guarantees of personal liberty is a distraction from THE REAL ISSUES"
Klobuchar on Stephen Miller saying the administration is considering suspending habeas corpus: "He's doing it because they don't want to focus on what's really in front of them, and that they have created havoc in our economy ... no, they're not gonna reverse habeas corpus in the Congress."
Crazy how long this conversation has been going on
A plane will be transferred to a library?
🚨Corruption scoop of the day from ABC News:
Trump is poised to accept a luxury jet as a gift from Qatar.
It will be used as Air Force One, then transferred to the Trump library in 2029. Possibly the biggest foreign “gift” ever.
DOJ insists it’s legal & not bribery.
Fuck me.

Moderna's combo Covid and flu mRNA shot outperforms current vaccines in large trial
A combination shot would make it easier for people to get vaccinated against Covid and the flu at the same time.
May we become a nation worthy of Rumeysa Ozturk's faith.
1. Rumeysa Ozturk, a 30-year-old Turkish doctoral student at Tufts, speaks after a federal judge ordered her release following her arrest by federal agents on the street.
She calls the United States “the greatest democracy in the world” and says she has “faith in the American justice system.”
Once again reminding everyone that all the Russiagate stuff was basically true and Trump just successfully covered it up and the media repeated his lies about it until everyone forgot! Something to think about!
I demand Nuremberg trials.
“The man was taken by ICE agents and his children were left behind…inside the truck”
We don’t have a president so much as a confederacy of sickos taking advantage of the vacancy.
for the past few months the us has been ruled by a lawless triumvirate--a mobster (trump), a plutocrat (musk), and a commissar (miller)--haphazardly implementing, respectively, a great leap backward (tariffs), a kleptocratic shock therapy (doge), and a gestapo-spearheaded ethnic cleansing (ice)...
DOGE is red tape: adding layers of unnecessary review on services they know nothing about in order to slow down services
I think about this comic at least once a week

@hereswhykevin.bsky.socialJust in case anyone's wondering how bad she's lying: the only people who can check books out of the LOC are congressional staff.
Library cards for use of the research centers are only available to people over the age of 16, and researchers under 18 need permission from a parent or guardian.
Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why?
Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.
I want to add the Justice Department *just said* in court that it is improper to prosecute a sitting mayor who was running for-relection—a full year before the election—because it would both interfere with the democratic process and affect his ability to do his job.
There’s no coming back from this.

Organizations and community members on the ground are asking for support and for all of us to stand with them now.
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey mayor is arrested at ICE detention center where he was protesting its opening, acting US attorney says.
There’s something almost religious, cultlike, about the bizarrely contrived language of the police talking about killing someone. The ritualistic passive voice with indistinct causality just popping up in there like a mantra.
Dudes try “SO THE OFFICER SHOT HIM”
Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.
The entire administration is going to be staffed by Fox News hosts
It is painfully obvious that Dems are dying to cave on the crypto bill but don't want to cave until they can point to a piece of paper.
Coupla points about Trump's trade deal:
*There isn't one.
*He'll make exemptions but won't drop the 10% tariff on a country with an avg rate of around 1%
*The UK won't lower their food standards and that's the issue with American beef
But the stenographers did their thing and markets popped.
Does he know what "consumer" and "shop" mean? What about "bad?"
Trump: "This is where they want to be shopping. They want to shop in this country because we have the consumer. If this country went bad, the whole world would go bad."
In a surprising turn of events, the "full and comprehensive" "agreement" is not full, comprehensive, or an agreement, and is in fact just a framework for negotiation.
Thankfully, this is the first and only time Trump will lie about something, so we should keep taking him at his word. 🫡
Trump's "big" trade deal is with the UK:
- It's a framework not a deal
- They're our 11th largest trading partner
- They're only 3% of US trade (97% to go)
- They *already* charge average tariffs of only 1% (limited upside)
It's a photo op, not a macroeconomically significant moment.
"Woke" -- changing norms through social pressure -- is not, contra the reactionary centrists, another form of tyranny. It's the *alternative* to tyranny. It's new norms winning through the marketplace of ideas. The alternative is what we see now: enforcing norms via the threat of state violence.
i think the biggest public relations coup AI boosters scored was calling it “AI.” people genuinely think it is an intelligence, and that when they query it, it is providing reasoned answers
it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.
Dems need a project 2029 specifically for ripping all traces of Elon Musk out of the government

1/ The US government has ordered the Swedish city of Stockholm to end its diversity, inclusivity and equality (DEI) programmes within 10 days. The city authorities say the demand is "bizarre" and they won't be complying. ⬇️
