We seen the soul of the petit bourgeoisie during the COVID lockdown when landlords were exploiting their tenants for sex. They want as much leverage over you as possible so they can exert control over you & extract from you at the threat of leveraging the state machinery to ruin your life.
Radley Balko@radleybalko.bsky.social · 21h agoEx-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.

People always want to be the first to declare that something is people. "Pigs are people." "An AI is people." You're not even done letting Black people be people. Settle down.
I don't know what makes me more upset - the fact that this guy thinks the lying plagiarism machine is a long term business solution, or that these are the only kinds of people with enough money to start a business in the first place.
Gregk Foley@gregk.co.uk · yesterdaySome guy in Charleston, SC started an AI consultancy firm for small businesses where he just asks ChatGPT. Using a blueberry farm as an example he asked for outside risks. It said heavy rain, heatwaves and rising fuel costs. He asked how to hedge against this. It said to place bets on Kalshi.
ICE used a Target parking lot as a staging ground to target immigrant New Yorkers and shoot a man in the Bronx. In the past, Target ended DEI, hid LGBTQ Pride items, and banned the SALVATION ARMY. Now they say there’s nothing they can do? Well there’s plenty we consumers can.

Every fall, Golden-crowned Sparrows return to California from breeding grounds as far north as Alaska and Canada. We’ve tracked first-capture dates our Palomarin Field Station for decades! Any guesses on when we'll catch our first GCSP this season?
Ok correction - the story they planted was the one about schools giving out pro-furry homework (or something), which dovetailed with the litterboxes story. Now that said, Jesse's writeup incudes the following: "After all, who doesn’t long for the chance to debunk their own hoax?"
James Margaris@markymarg2.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is a good time to remind people that Jesse had his podcast producer "break" - aka entirely make up - a story about furry kids using litterboxes in public schools, which morphed into a story about trans kids using litterboxes at schools, for podcast "content."

Chris Tomlinson@cltomlinson.bsky.social · 3d agoThe Wall Street Journal reports on a New Year’s Eve 2024 celebration where Ken Paxton partied in Dubai with two fugitives from U.S. justice and a woman who wasn’t his wife. One of the fugitives had donated $190,000 to Paxton. How much more can there be? www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Bluesky's Head of Trust and Safety handed his block list to a bot. 1,271 people blocked in eleven days. He says it never looks at who you are. Blocks are public, so I checked. Trans people were blocked at 2.5× the odds of everyone else, for posts of the same harshness. 🧵
