Once again asking where the advocacy groups and think tanks are on this because elected officials are not going to get there on their own.
Jay Willis@jaywillis.net · 6d agoChaperoning a preschool trip to the aquarium and one of the other dads who is vaguely familiar with what I do comes up to me and goes “man I sure hope we get some Nuremberg-style trials at the end of all this”
Quickest way to get a little extra "attention" going through customs. Like reverse Global Entry.
James E. Clyburn@repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 6d agoNo, we did not ask for Trump to be on passports.
Is there anyone polling public sentiment for holding administration officials accountable for crimes while in office? We need ammo when all of the centrist Dems start talking about bringing the country together. @gelliottmorris.com ?
This is exactly how I feel. I can build more stuff faster, but it's joyless. I've specifically oriented my career toward being a front-line code and architecture specialist and AI has turned me into a chat babysitter. Still navigating what that means.
Kent C. Dodds 🌌@kentcdodds.com · last wk.Claude Code has real upside. But @anniesexton.com says it's also made engineering problem-solving kind of boring - and she's still figuring out where that joy goes.

Btw DHH and Tobi going full fash, it really takes the fun out of being a Rails dev. I love the framework, but damn those guys are insufferable pricks.
Anil Dash@anildash.com · last wk.Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.
Symptoms of cocaine use include dilated pupils and excessive blinking.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoQ: You argue that Iran violated the MOU. But isn't the MOU flawed since it explicitly acknowledges Iran has power in the Strait of Hormuz? MARCO RUBIO: That's certainly not the way we interpreted it
Can't wait to hear all of the quietly (or not so quietly) MAGA hockey parents complain when they have to drop $500 on Johnny's new stick.
Can you imagine if they used this kind of bureaucratic creativity to make people's lives better instead of being the worst fucking people on earth?
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 2w agoThe Trump admin's latest strategy to mass generate removal orders is diabolical: - Take a huge group of people with hearings scheduled in late 2026, 2027, or 2028. - Send them a physical letter rescheduling all of their cases to next week. - Those who inevitably miss court get ordered deported.
These are fucking children. There is no hell too hot for these assholes.
JJ in DC@jjindc.bsky.social · 3w ago🧊✈️ SEATTLE ⛓️😲 👉 Young men & boys in shackles are herded by hired thugs from a chartered Eastern 737 to a waiting bus, to be transported to GEO Group's Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington 👀
I really don’t think anyone has priced in how much appetite there is on our side for a politics of pure revenge, justice dispensed in wholesale rather than at retail
If you actually plan to withdraw, what possible personal benefit is there to waiting until Monday? He's not dropping out.
Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · 4w agoAxios is reporting that Platner has said he won't file paperwork to withdraw before Monday, which is the final day he can do so (and four days from now). www.axios.com/2026/07/09/g...
Feel like I must've done something right with my feed, but I haven't seen a single post supporting Platner, but a lot of posts talking about folks still supporting him. That seems....odd.
If I had a nickel for every time the Dem establishment pushed for an octogenarian candidate resulting in an embarrassing post-primary drop out.... I'd have two nickels, but it's crazy that it happened twice... * This is not to say Platner himself isn't the bigger fuckup.
Also I….. I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this so feel free to bully me into deleting it but if your kid is intimidated by the real or completely imaginary trans kid trying to play their sport, maybe they suck at it and weren’t gonna go far anyway
The Dems need to promise to form an entire agency of prosecutors to punish every. single. one. of these grifts. I don't care if the dude ends up with hundreds of convictions and tens of lifetimes in prison sentences. I don't care if we have to prosecute his estate posthumously. Every. Single. One.
Ma Carol@caroodles.bsky.social · last mo.We are at North Korea levels of corruption. We are no longer a functional democracy.
even if it was good policy, this shit is completely ancillary to the goal of actually limiting the power of big tech. Elon Musk has a trillion dollars and is trying to start a global race war, your response to that can’t be “kids should be on their phones less”
alpha @omarsbigsister.bsky.social · last mo.Dems' "Project 2029" first major policy proposal: an online child safety plan — narrowing Sec. 230, banning social media for kids under 16, promoting phone-free childhoods and more. Already backed by Cory Booker, Mikie Sherrill, Randi Weingarten + Jonathan Haidt. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
holy shit bsky has a water sealant expert that predicted the reflecting pool failure mode perfectly
The Monarch Diaries@monarchdiaries.bsky.social · 3mo agoThey're using Rhino Pipeliner 5000, which freezes as sprayed-on curds almost exactly as it hits the surface. Won't flow out, flatten, and self-level like standard epoxy or paint would. Under standing water, the orange peel texture is a perfect scaffolding for algae, bacteria, and general bio scum
NHL needs a tax parity plan. All salaries in non-tax states carry an 8% fee to a league pool and commensurate increase in cap hit.
It's because he's lying. This is not a mystery.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · last mo."Trump keeps bringing up the number 22." Taking out 22 ships in Iran war. 22 fountains. A pool built 22 years ago. A flight 22 hours long. A story on NYT's page 22. 22 specialists at Walter Reed checkup. 22 Nobel economists. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
This is how to make AI useful in the workplace. That said, the only work output I can think of that lends itself to deterministic checks is coding. The idea of using it in say, a legal context, is horrifying to me, having seen what it produces in a more controllable environment.
Butt teeth! Butt teeth! Butt teeth!@panic.gay · 2mo agoMy philosophy has become: If you have to work with AI, isolate what it controls and have deterministic checks and balances in place to enforce those limits. I have had to learn a lot to make this happen.
it's remarkable how like, you can visibly notice how people who still use X regularly are either getting dragged to the right (if on the centre-left or centre) or just getting more toxic in general
In an accidental act of good parenting, I've somehow instilled in my kids that AI is the antithesis of education. Their job in school is not to learn facts, but to learn how to learn. They take pride in knowing their work is their own. If they learn nothing else, I consider that a minor success.
Jeff Sharlet@jeffsharlet.bsky.social · 2mo agoAt the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/
Taylor Hall was my favorite Bruin on that wagon '23 team. Hoping he gets his cup.
Micah McCurdy @hockeyviz.com · 2mo agoStankhoven/Blake/Hall has been like a portable woodchipper into which any and all opposition can be mulched into goals.
I saw a fried donut ice cream cone today. Literally a cone shaped donut, ice cream and toppings galore. Say what you will about this country but damn if we can't innovate speed running diabetes.
ycats@scribblymoth.bsky.social · 2mo agoNot getting this, but think many of you would be interested.
A future Dem government should nationalize SpaceX and rip it away from Musk. He gets NOTHING in return and the US gets its NASA investment back.
Really hard to imagine becoming a trillionaire and not wanting to immediately liquidate enough assets to give at least a few hundred billion to organizations making the world a better place.
