I was there, until I wasn't. Now I'm here, at least for now.
BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
This is how it's done. Fight it out in the primary, and then link arms to defeat the common enemy in the general. Great demonstration of post-primary leadership from @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.
One of the worst things to ever happen to the AFT is Randi Weingarten.
Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 8h ago“Teaching educators about AI is a ‘moral imperative’, said Randi Weingarten, the AFT president.” “And without outside funding, it was a choice between taking big tech’s money or doing nothing, she said.”
There’s no actual alternative to polling but I just don’t believe they capture public sentiment in any reliable way anymore
If Stevens won they would not print that moderates didn’t get the big election night they wanted, they would print that moderates have struck back and reasserted their place leading the party

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...
Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying
It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

thus do we understand half the reason for the NYT’s seething anti-Mamdani grudge
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 19h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.
Of all the things to admit on the internet, “I don’t know how bananas work” is one of the funniest

aww did someone get addicted to corruption and graft!!!!

Pretty sure when you win the election it's a big election night. Pretty sure when your party's leadership all endorses the loser, it means the leadership is out of touch with the electorate.

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname
As someone who voted for Ann Richards back in the day, can I just say? It would be the funniest thing ever if Texas' 30-year streak of shitty GOP governors was bookended by two fiesty Texas women.
Asher Elbein@asherelbein.bsky.social · yesterdayMan, we are about to see some *crazy* panicked attempts at voter suppresion in this state
"it looks like you're using an adblocker to visit our site." yep! ha ha! it rocks!
Is it true that Weiss and Ellison privately joke that "CBS" now stands for "Children Be Sexy"? It's impossible to say just yet. But given all the work they've done to shield all the pedophiles in the Trump administration from the Epstein Files story, we just can't rule it out.
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · yesterdayWhy are Bari Weiss and David Ellison manipulating the news to protect child rapist Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplices? Possibly connected to how Weiss pushed to hire Epstein friend Peter Attia?
Not a bad cargo cult attempt at figuring out why this thing was so important to their grandparents.
The team mascot is the Spartans. Because of course it is.
CSketch@csketch.bsky.social · yesterdayOh my god I think I found the video.
Treating bigotry as some kind of civil disagreement really says more about you and your value system than you think it says about your kindness
Ben Goldacre@bengoldacre.bsky.social · 2d agoSad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.
has anyone unpacked christopher nolan casting a trans person to be the distraction sacrifice for a trojan horse to enter, and then destroy, civilization
it’s important to have “someone such as an attorney” around to ask direct questions about stuff like this
Jason Koebler@jasonkoebler.bsky.social · yesterdayis this good:
I'm just gonna say: it somewhat baffles me that people who are understandably skeptical of opaque LLMs as legitimate sources of information will suddenly go full on "the computer KNOWS" when they are using opaque tools to "detect" AI. The computer does not know.
Susanna Kearsley@susannakearsley.bsky.social · yesterday❤️ Gillian Green, publisher at Tor Bramble, told The Bookseller: “HM Wolfe has confirmed that Daggermouth was written entirely without AI. We stand behind our author, and we do not recognise third-party AI detection tools as a fair or reliable measure of authenticity when used on their own.”
Banks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS
The road to fascism was paved with "Reddit atheist" and "shrill feminist" and "blue hair and pronouns". The vanguard wasn't the rabid reactionaries. It was the "normals", "apoliticals", who tolerate occasional sexist comments but mock the "cringe" of well-meaning and earnest but awkward people.
My dude, we don't need to know your "heart and mind," we just have to look at your prior actions. You've already turned CBS News into a ham-handed partisan laughingstock in land speed-record time, so we have an excellent idea what you will do with CNN.
Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.social · yesterday"Unfortunately, I can't give anyone a view into my heart and mind." Why? Are you unfamiliar with them? Ellison's whole "I'm not allowed to express my specific political opinions here, but trust me" approach is transparent nonsense. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/o...
automatically running signal messages through a stranger's AI is, I think, the worst pitch and idea I've ever been cold pitched in my life and that is saying a lot
