Prosecutors say 45-year-old Luis Uribe, a Pingree Grove resident, has been convicted on ten counts of deprivation of civil rights under color of law and one count of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.

Damn, now it's cows.

A rabid cow has been reported in Minnesota. Nine people who had contact with the cow must now be treated with post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), which is incredibly expensive.

Congress worked 75 days this year. That’s summer camp, not legislation.

Fuck, now not only is Idiocracy a documentary, HAL from 2001 is now a biography. "OpenAI grew increasingly evasive, even hostile, in its responses." www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

OpenAI is disrupting mathematics, alright.

When everyone is a priority, no one is a priority. That means that Mullin and ICE are going to treat a murderer who just got here with the same level of priority as a guy who’s been here for 25 years raising a family and living like a saint. That’s bad for so many reasons.

🧪It be like that *Scientists develop mRNA vaccines “Where’s data to show that vaccines are safe?” *Scientist publish analyses proving safety of mRNA vaccines "Pharma shill!” *Wellness influencers promote proprietary blend of "peptides" for wellbeing that have not been evaluated* "Amazing”!

When AI researchers are whistleblowing, we need to listen. They are telling us this technology could be as dangerous as a nuclear bomb. We need to take that seriously. I hope they are wrong, but we cannot assume they are.

Working the polls also helps reassure you that the process works. After the last election a friend reached out to ask how results got to the Clerk’s Office & I could tell her step-by-step, including about the security & back-ups of the data that made later audits possible if needed.

Pretty sure they've drained the Treasury, too.

Pete Buttigieg@petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 3w ago

Republicans promised to "drain the swamp." Then they gave us an all-time high tide of Washington corruption, while the only thing they've drained is the Reflecting Pool.

Thanks to PedoDon and his merry band of GOP sycophants and ass-kissers.

For the first time in history, the national average price of gas for the month of August has been above $4 per gallon every single day. If it feels like it’s been the most expensive August at the pump, that’s because it is. End. The. War. apnews.com/article/stoc...

Trump’s tariffs on Canada are taxes on Americans. And Illinois gets hit twice: higher prices for consumers and retaliatory tariffs on our exports. Illinoisans are fed up with paying the price for Trump’s trade wars.
