Adobe AI promised it could take a PDF and turn it into a slide deck. That’s a use case I could embrace as I hate the task of turning a handout into slides. I gave it a one page document with headings under each of which were 4 bullets. It created a single slide with the PDF as an embedded image.
The California Democratic Party has officially endorsed a one-time, 5% wealth tax on billionaires that will be on the ballot this November. They're right to support it — and Gavin Newsom is wrong to oppose it. Here's why.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
correct are you serious about beating fascism or not? get in, we’re beating them in november you can be mad, you can be disappointed, but at the end of the day having someone with D in any and all seats is better than having someone with an R in them
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 11h agoI meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.
SpaceX rocket unintentionally crashes into the Moon following 5/13 Starship failures in the past 5yrs & a myriad of high-altitude purposeful flight test destructions of “developmental prototypes.” Why is turning over our space program to a demented trillionaire a good idea?
Many, many thoughts on this, starting with the idea that it is not surprising people feel that the government is much more likely to interfere or punish them for their speech because at this moment that's just objectively true.
John Sands@iohn.bsky.social · 9h agoA new survey from @knightfoundation.org and @ssrsresearch.bsky.social reveals a disquieting decline in how free Americans feel to use the freedoms protected by the #FirstAmendment without government interference or punishment. 🧵

Absolutely insane numbers from Eli Lilly this morning. 15 billion dollars in sales for tirzepatide alone, in just 90 days. Now on track to ~55-60 billion in sales for one drug. We need a different term than blockbuster drug. This is wild.
When a writing org (or company providing services to authors) starts bleating about how great "AI" is, look to see which of their higher-ups has recently set themselves to profit by the grift.
El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.
Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.
🌊 Nearly 90 California lawmakers have sent a clear message: No new offshore drilling and continued strong protection for California’s iconic coast! 🧵
Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"

The folks most benefiting from Trump’s war are the people who are destroying our climate and the world and most causing #ClimateCrisis. The oil companies are environmental mass destruction terrorists and if we don’t stop them they will render our planet an uninhabitable overheated nightmare.
