I have litmus test issues for anyone I vote for. If they don't pass, they don't get my vote. The criteria is pretty basic, too.
Civil equality of trans/LGBTQ people
Civil rights of immigrants
Civil equality of minorities
Reproductive healthcare & body autonomy

This is so true. I know two CA guardsmen. Both assumed they'd do their weekend a month and two week a year for training and be called upon to assist in natural disasters, not political stunts. They detest what Trump has done and are now worried they'll be shot next but they signed 8 yr contracts.
National Guard soldiers didn't sign up to be deployed as local police indefinitely as part of someone else's political stunt.
They're not set up to be local police, they never should have been deployed.

Given the rampant inconsistencies in the Christian Bible, and the way AI can capture some people's emotional needs, it's no wonder religious leaders don't like it.
But I bet some of them still use it to write their sermons.

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.

This is so accurate. And like diabetes, there's a hundred years of really solid modern science and medicine backing it up.
imagine having to hear shit like "study confirms giving diabetic children insulin reduces their death rates by 100%" as if that hasn't been known for like a hunred years. that's what being trans is like

They're offloading all the debt onto special purpose vehicles (SPV) that are legally distinct entities propped up by promises from meta for decades of demand in compute. The banks take all the risk, Nvidia gets the equity and revenue, Meta gets the stock bump without the downside.
"It seems like a marvel of financial engineering: Meta is building a $27 billion data center in Louisiana, financed with debt, and neither the data center nor the debt will be on its own balance sheet."
