News on the passport front: Got a status update! They say that they mailed me my supporting documents. One problem: I did not submit any supporting documents. I just renewed online. So what’s coming in the mail that I’ve got a tracking number for? Who the hell knows!

Really, watch the whole thing

If the Democrats were actually serious, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries would be putting out statements that they intend to subpoena mark Zuckerberg personally to appear before congress over its censorship of No Kings today and Lula in Brazil. Instead, silence. They aren't fit for this moment.

Ossoff: "Tech titans dig bunkers while warning us the AI they're creating risks human extinction. Meanwhile, our Congress debates youth sports and the president builds a ballroom ... I refuse to leave my girls a world as dark and dangerous and cruel as this one threatens to become"

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Meta has suspend the No Kings account on its protest day. Meta had also suspended Lula accounts in Brazil ahead of the election. Tiktok has suspended the account of the Musk documentary ahead of its release. We are living in censorship dictated by the oligarchs.

Ossoff: "Foster kids don't have lobbyists or a super PAC. Neither do the women subjected to medical abuse in ICE detention. Neither do the female inmates sexually abused by the warden and the chaplain in their federal prison ... they deserve leaders who see them"

Fewer NIH grants awarded means fewer trials for your loved one’s incurable cancer, fewer options for rare childhood disease, fewer cures discovered in your lifetime, less likelihood of discovering the next Ozempic or new antibiotic to combat antibiotic resistance, less surveillance of diseases, etc.

banning trans people from "mixed sex" spaces = *all public* spaces. this is where the debate in the UK is now & where the GOP wants to take it here in US

Question: Does anybody know of a LLM that is trained to respons to changing conditions on a network? At minimum it should be capable of simple packet capture & analysis, then spin up and down multiple VMs to simulate real network traffic based on that analysis.

At this point England is simply a case study of the full extent of how TERFs want the world to work. They are in complete control, and the result is mass confusion, rampant bigotry, pain, cruelty, and the deprivation of bigotry. In a sane world this would be cause to abandon the project entirely

Again, none of this affects the strikes inside Russia, which don't rely on Starlink. This purely betrays soldiers on the frontlines, including American volunteers, holding off Russian invaders right now in the most brutal trench warfare Europe's seen in a century. You don't hate these two enough.

Oh.

I've known a LOT of conservatives, Republicans, and even MAGA folk in the US kink world. Every one of those motherfuckers thinks shit like this won't impact them because they are usually wealthy and white. But trust me, this poison won't stop with the UK. Consensual kink is very much in danger.

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

There's a Politico (lol) piece entirely about how Republicans' hope right now is that the polls are all way off and they only get a MILD wipeout and first of all it's full of a bunch of nonsense but the best part is how it ends on this incredible bit:

For those measuring at home, a Zacharia is, roughly, half a Scaramucci.

Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 5d ago

This is going to make a Scaramucci look like an extended period of time in government employ.

It can be done. Just like that. Dems, for the love of all things holy, please take note.
