I’m presdisposed to Doctorow’s position here, but this really resonates: “It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs” www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

Miller is a piece of shit. But be cautious about calling family photos of nude toddlers "CSAM." I've written about lives ruined over allegations that turned out to be harmless photos of kids taking a bath or running naked through the house. Moreno is already calling for prosecutions, here.

Max Miller’s lawyer admits to accidentally releasing ‘private images’ of daughter

Lawyers for ex-wife Emily Moreno said possible “Child Sexual Abuse Material” was included in a trove of documents the Ohio lawmaker publicly posted.

You can't make this up - private prison reopening to partner with ICE in MN, and the CEO has "swindle" as his literal last name. www.startribune.com/appleton-pri...

Once the facility is up and running, CoreCivic says it expects to generate $75 million in annual revenue. In a statement, Patrick D. Swindle, CoreCivic’s CEO, said the company made recent repairs to the Appleton prison to prepare for a new contract. Contractors have been working at the prison since last fall.

Kaohly Her has managed in 7 months to alienate every avenue of political support available to a Saint Paul mayor. Entirely aside from her behavior (which is enough on its own), she needs to resign because her agenda is dead in the water.

Kyle Stokes@kystokes.bsky.social · yesterday

Scoop: In a private call with top officials, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her lashed at requests to delay a homeless encampment sweep. She attributed her anger to “fuckery” being said about her in public, 3 officials told @axios.com . One state rep logged off in frustration. www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

MAHA won't go away by applying the classism omnicause. Anti-science thinking must be stomped out, not legitimized as a tragic unavoidable side effect of under-taxed billionaires. Terrible, terrible misstep by AOC here.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

This is about as good actual evidence of an electability advantage you'll find. These numbers are almost certainly within the margin of error, and a long national fall campaign probably ends up erasing most actual vote differences between Dems, but it's still something for MI voters to consider

i keep narrating pokémon like im werner herzog and it makes my niece and nephew crack up despite not knowing who that is. "i am driven by a compulsion to capture the creatures in plastic and airless prisons... these creatures, so small and vivacious... i must capture and subdue zem all"

roasted by my 9 year old nephew who confidently told me if i was a pokemon i would be psyduck "because he is always worried and runs around holding his head because he has a headache"

the thing is that there's a kernal of truth to lost third spaces but when you suggest a third space can just be a game night at your apartment or a nice day at a public park people get real weird because you might have to spend 5 minutes planning which seems bad for the revolution

The DOJ’s entire motion reads as “look at us, we were innocent little babies who couldn’t have known otherwise, it’s all someone else’s fault.”

Josh Gerstein@joshgerstein.bsky.social · 5d ago

NEW: DOJ now says it was was snookered by Interior Department into indicting Olympian David Hearn when officials "clearly" knew of multitude of issues w/reflecting pool renovation by Trump's 'pool guy.' @USAttyPirro drops the case. More via @eperezibarguen www.politico.com/news/2026/07...
