Early COVID mitigations showed us the power of collective action. The environment began to heal. People with disabilities were accommodated. An entire flu strain was eradicated. Folks reconnected with their local communities. We worked together & saved lives.
Abby was the one that broke open the Max Miller story (and shame on NYT for not acknowledging that). Here is her original story: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Assault, misogyny, verbal threats: Records detail new allegations against Rep. Max Miller
Police reports and filings in a bitter custody dispute raise new questions about the conduct of an Ohio Republican as he campaigns for a third term.

Abby Vesoulis@abbyvesoulis.bsky.social · 3d agoI first got 1000+ pages of court documents from Miller & Moreno's custody case. Anybody can request these from Cuyahoga County. I reviewed those by myself, one by one—no AI involved!—and the filings pointed to police reports. I then sought those out separately and spent days combing through them.
"Capitalism, I need you to sit down with us. This is an intervention."
It's a small thing, I know, but there really is a difference between "palate cleanser" and "palette cleanser," and also, while we are on the subject, "pallet cleanser," and it is worth making the distinction
People who sell stuff: I am a fall girly. But nobody needs pumpkin spice anything on July 31. Let the pumpkins get fat and let’s enjoy berries for a while.
Didn’t know Ireland was Muslim. Do the Irish know this?

Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 5d agoIMPACT: that company that was offering to buy books for AI companies’ training data — and probably destroy them in the process — says it will no longer offer this service following 404 Media’s exposure of it www.404media.co/ai-company-t...
This is VERY bad. Congressional investigation immediately. They’re trying to use Palantir to figure out who you voted for. 0% chance this ends well. Stop it ASAP.

Voting on spy powers at 2am will definitely help with trust in the government!
I would say that #2 needs to be not "have to be ready" but "have to demand" because if there are no consequences and people just reap multiple billions of dollars in personal profit this will happen again.
Alan Elrod@aselrod.bsky.social · 4mo agoI think there are two key takeaways for Americans from Peter Magyar’s ouster of Orbán: 1. We must rally overwhelmingly behind the 2028 Dem nominee 2. We have to be ready to send people to prison if we win My latest for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/two-lessons-...

Artemis astronaut describes charring on heat shield during crew's fiery return to Earth
The astronauts who flew around the moon and back in NASA's landmark Artemis II mission said their re-entry into Earth's atmosphere was smooth, but the mission's commander described some charring on the Orion capsule's critical heat shield.

nonzero chance the FBI is plugging LLMs into wiretap data under the legal theory AI alone can’t implicate 4th amendment concerns (semi-known 702 issue). or the NSA has now hard coded wiretaps across all newly built US data centers due to expanded ECSP scope. or probably both.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · 4mo agoI sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

On Transgender Day of Visibility today, we uplift and celebrate transgender Washingtonians. I admire their resilience in the face of adversity. In Washington, we'll always stand up for the rights of transgender individuals. That won’t change as long as I am Governor.
Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.
