people on food stamps buying cookies is a thing you can only get upset about if your life sucks so badly that you've got to find someone else in a shittier situation than yours to look down on. It's not a legitimate criticism of the program, it's a cry for help.

Maybe I'm a dumb shitlib and not smart like all the ghouls in legacy media but how does Israel killing 100+ Palestinians overnight risk undoing the ceasefire and not straight up breaking it? What good is a ceasefire if you don't have to cease firing?

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 19d

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

I love the part where these people think it matters what they do lol, or that their vote for this bill will matter at all re: what Republicans say or do next. They already have the script written; this bill is largely meaningless.

NEW: Expect some drama in House Dems’ meeting this AM over a vote to honor Charlie Kirk.

Some members undecided. Others voting no or “present.” But some in the party fear anything but a unanimous vote for it will be a messaging coup for the GOP.

House Democrats fume about vote to honor Charlie Kirk: "We're being totally set up"

The vote has been the topic of frenzied discussions in Democrats' closed-door meeting this week.

Granny DeVito @grannydevito.bsky.social · Sep 5

New build homes are absolute shitboxes that are falling apart almost as soon as they're put on the market. The idea that Trump will "help" homeowners suffering from the increased costs of home buying by lowering the standards even further and providing even more incentive to cut corners is just....

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history

BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

I work with a lot of researchers — including many researchers who study AI — and this is consistent with my experience. The more one knows, the less likely one is to use it.

Karla Ortiz @kortizart.bsky.social · Sep 2

So new studies showcase that the more you know how GenAi works, the less likely you are to use it! 😌

This reminds me of ai advocates who claim that those who refuse to use GenAi do so because they dont know how it works, yet it’s the opposite!
The less you know the more you are likely to use GenAi

The Less You Know About AI, the More You Are Likely to Use It

AI can seem magical to those with low AI literacy, a new study finds. That, in turn, might make them more willing to try it.

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
