So Erin Reed blocked me over this one but I’m going to take a few minutes to point out why this “reporting” is so bad and repost a few times to hopefully spread the word. TL;DR Erin either doesn’t understand anything about NYC law or politics or is outright lying about what’s happening here.
my friend and his fam were driving back from SF to Portland today and said the protest in Medford OR was so long it stretched on for miles, and it made me think a lot about the people who gathered today in groups both large and small in communities where there’s still a high social cost to doing it
One reason I love this poem so much is because for all the beauty of the stoicism he describes, Hayden makes a point of including a reference to "fearing the chronic angers of that house."
So if we're bringing back selfless sacrifice as a model of masculinity, let's try to leave out chronic angers.
So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:
baby (21 months) is screaming as her brother (4) does the robot in front of her and I said bub im not sure that’s helping and he said im not TRYING to help! I’m TRYING to dance 🕺
They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:
Great River Energy discovered 60% more capacity on their power lines using "magic balls." One of a number of grid enhancing technologies that can deliver big benefits at low cost.
GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA
federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL
But, to wind this up, bc OMG I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TIME IT IS 😬 & I have to finish getting ready for the Seder (!!!)—that's why a foreign country waging a genocidal war & protests agst that war on our college campuses are so entwined.
HAG SAMEACH TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE I HAVE TO GO CHECK THE SOUP. /end
gonna be honest, chat: it's looking to me like we're blowing Khamenei's head smoove off shortly after market close friday
hopefully i'm wrong on this one, but like. you don't drop a few dozen f-22s in israel unless you're planning It (last time we did was 4days before the june '25 strikes)
Doing special pleading for the left - "Oh, it's a tactical maneuver" or "Oh, the Democrats should have to win their voters" - this is ridiculous. The country is on fire, don't give air cover to the people refusing to help put it out until they're treated like very special little boys and girls.
(TikTok is a disinfo & radicalization machine *across the board*, because the goal for its prior owners was less to push any particular ideological position - other than avoiding criticism of China, China really just doesn't care about American ideological divides - than to heighten contradictions!)
Just by looking at a cursory glance of the turnout by precinct, this doesn't look like a case of Democratic areas turning out more than Republican areas.
In fact, the opposite. Chasity Martinez won by winning over a bunch of Trump voters
