Incorrigible goof. Wannabe zaddy. Journeyman of wordcraft, player of games, husband of excellence and father of the future (x2). For details, see below.
We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.
A very important article which explains.exactly.wjy the modern Democratic Party is so feckless—they are paying consultants who tell them to be so, and are incentivized for said Dems to *lose* elections, so they can push for more fundraising, ad nauseum.
Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social · 4d agoJust as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...
I'm an NIH scientist, I'm not anonymous, and RFK Jr is destroying NIH.
Mark Histed@markhisted.org · 6d agoThis week, NIH advisors rebuked RFK for harming #NIH and US science. Sheryl Gay Stolberg reported it. Then RFK posted calling her sources anonymous or corrupt. I'll say this hoping it does good: I'm an NIH scientist, I'm not anonymous, and RFK Jr is destroying NIH. More in attachment:
In any society with a moral center—especially any country that claimed to intersect with so-called Christian values—dismantling these disgraceful concentration camps should be the first top priority. Second, restitution for victims. Third, criminal charges and civil penalties for leadership.
ACLU@aclu.org · 6d agoThe Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act would end the Trump administration's abuse of mandatory detention, stop the detention of children and families, and phase out private prisons profiting off human suffering. Tell your members of Congress to pass it now.
This is the end of Democracy. For real. If it were even true that there were 20,000 illegal voters in CA, there were legal ways to handle it, and months ago. Federal brute squads policing elections (a State function) is beyond the pale.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 7d agoSome facts about the 28 people charged today: - Every one was a lawful permanent resident. - 4 of the 28 are accused only of registering, and not voting, and only 22 are accused of voting in 2024. - The median and average age is 50 - 22 noncitizen voters = 0.0001% of the California 2024 electorate.
Laying it out, straight talk. Beautiful, and patriotic Everything Dr. El-Sayed says here would (very likely) be cheered by the founding fathers, and certainly by the original colonists who were being told they couldn't practice their versions of Christianity. Please get this man into Congress.
Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · last wk.This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.
So we see how Anthropic values our lives and livelihoods. A release of an AI model is worth 49 lives. Or, $999,999,999. As long as it only kills that many or less (or destroys less than $1.0 Billion), it's fine. What a calculus. All so we can summarize our texts and companies can fire creatives.
Leah McElrath@leahmcelrath.bsky.social · last wk.Anthropic pitches draft of AI safety bill to lawmakers: “The bill would let the government block a model’s release or use only if it poses a foreseeable, imminent risk of more than $1 billion in damages, or of killing or seriously injuring more than 50 people.”
When you see all these corrupt, ridiculously unqualified and incompetent Trump officials in action, realize that it is only possible because Republicans have the majority in the senate and voted to confirm them. The only way to stop it is to take that majority away.
So if a liar lies constantly, Patrick Healy is arguing, NYT shouldn't point out all the lies, or its audience will think they're not impartial. That the word "lie" would lose its power. 🤯 Absolutely gives away the game here. It's more important for NYT to appear unbiased than to tell the truth.
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 2w ago🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

I was seduced by content creators hawking easy side hustles. Like the language used in MLMs, it seemed too good to be true

Congratulations to Anne Carson on the Nobel Prize in Literature. Let me show you my copy of her book NOX which is simultaneously an experimental poem and a mixed media art book meditation on grief. There is really nothing like an Anne Carson piece.
Just remembered how mad I was that BSG didn't end with the audience realising they were on our earth in the late 60s/early 70s which would have made perfect sense of why they were all hearing THAT song. And it would've been funny. Starbuck at Woodstock! Massive missed opportunity.
Will anyone ask Trump or @MarshaBlackburn or @BrentTaylorTN about this today? Seems like a clarksville type Q 🤷🏼
We released a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,600 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who declined to identify former clients. Explore the database:

Zelenskyy issues a statement responding to Trump’s deal with Putin to lift sanctions to purchase Russian oil and diesel.
the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it
