I maintain that Senator Murray should retire given her age and time in office, but I still appreciate that she knows her people. We like Canada. We love British Columbia.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov · 5d agoTrump's ignorant choice to make an enemy of one of our strongest allies is having DIRECT results on U.S. tourism—and just like the rest of his policies, it's hurting our economy. My message to Canada: Washington state continues to welcome our Canadian friends and neighbors. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

Hey, @bsky.app, I still can't write comments on the phone app because the threads no longer scroll upwards, meaning when my keypad pops up on my phone it totally covers the comment text box. Please fix this!
I can't comment on anything here all of a sudden, using my Galaxy. As soon as I touch the comment box, the screen shoots to the top comment, and the keyboard completely covers the text box, leaving me unable to see what I'm typing. Totally recent development. What gives, @bsky.app?
I start with my theme and work outwards. What am I trying to say and explore, and how do I illustrate that? Then I think of what experiences best shape this person, and what contradictions. But it's hard. It's really hard.

To add to this: I am not sure humans have ever figured out how to deal effectively with NPD- or BPD-consistent individuals. The shallow flattery and constant political games work, unfortunately.
Heck Awaits@heckawaits.bsky.social · 3w agoTime as a defense counsel convinced me that the vast majority of people are just trying to get through life, and a tiny percentage are absolute psychopaths. That tiny percentage creates an unimaginable amount of wreckage.

Antagonist: Antonio Salieri. Richer, smarter, harder-working than Mozart. Old but spry. Rides a Harley. Exceptionally talented at the assassinations of rival composers. On the other hand, he also wrote "L'Amour Innocenti." Just pure cringe.

Protagonist: Wolfgang "Wolfie" Amadeus Mozart. A dumpster fire of a human being, he drinks too much, cheats on his wife, talks down to everyone and hates Italians. His one redeeming feature is that he is the single greatest musical genius in human history.

I am begging legal supervisors to understand the AI cannot take the place of an attorney. It simply does not work. The gains in productivity are marginal at best, and forcing AI use can actually reduce productivity. For the love of God, make Claude draft you a motion and see for yourselves.

It occurred to me that one of the most frustrating things about this moment - and the one that makes finding solutions so difficult - is that there no longer appears to be any cause and effect in the world. How can we get to a better place if consequences are random? For instance:
Why am I forced to change my passwords or passcodes frequently, refusing to let me reuse older ones? I can't remember an infinite number of 15-character passwords that change every three months. It seems like the externalities for the failure to create secure devices is being passed on to consumers.
If we can skip to the part where we let the South go and everyone around the world immediately boycotts the new country as an apartheid state, that would be fantastic.

In my 20s, I wanted most of all to be a novelist. I found that I needed more of two things: money, and experience. I went to law school, commissioned in the JAGC, litigated, did PME, deployed. Now I'm writing again, and it's a very different generation of readers. 1/7
