Join the protest, starting at 5:30pm tonight at 1 E Morgan St in downtown Raleigh.
Governor Cooper has now vetoed Senate Bill 382, the so-called "Helene Recovery" bill that is mostly a sore-loser stunt meant to punish the voters for supporting @joshsteinnc.bsky.social, Rachel Hunt, @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social and Mo Green.
Here's what you need to know about SB382.

While SB 382 is presented as a response to Hurricane Helene, it's not. In fact, its undemocratic, diabolical provisions on shifting the balance of power and its environmental implications are extremely concerning.

"I’ll just make my decision and vote what I feel is the best in this situation. If it passes, it passes. If it fails, it fails. I’ve done my part."

Senate Bill 382 has disaster relief in its title, but the legislation mostly deals with stripping authority from governor-elect Josh Stein and the state’s newly elected attorney general, Jeff Jackson, both of whom are Democrats.

Why This Western N.C. Republican Voted Against the Helene Relief Bill
State Rep. Mark Pless says the Helene relief legislation, which also strips power from Democrats, doesn’t do much for his area.

North Carolina is facing a de facto political coup, with offices of newly elected Democratic leaders being stripped of their power by the Republican super-majority. If you're able, join the #protest tonight (12/9) at 5:30pm, starting at 1 E Morgan St in #Raleigh #NC. We can't stand idly by. #resist

"The practical risks of AI are not that they become super capable thinking machines. It is building complex systems around machines we falsely assume are capable of greater discernment and logic than they possess." 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My piece highlighting Gen AI “myths” in terms of how we talk about the technology, and what purpose those myths serve, is my self-serving contribution (looking to post a bunch from other folks today too). www.techpolicy.press/challenging-...
Challenging The Myths of Generative AI | TechPolicy.Press
Eryk Salvaggio says we must dispense with myths if we are to think more clearly about what AI actually is and does.

That a right-wing lawyer just suggested before the Supreme Court that Americans don't have a right to not conform is... a real mask-off moment in a way I suspect is not going to get enough attention.

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike.
I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it.
Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

The Mr. Rogers advice for moments of crisis is a useful thing to remember right now.
Look for the helpers.
Look for the people organizing to protect the most vulnerable.
Look for the people who have been concretely planning for how to respond, and are ready to implement.
Join them, if you can.

Nothing makes me chuckle quite like: "A donut hole in a donut's hole... The donut hole has a hole in its center... It is a smaller donut with its own hole. And, our donut is not whole at all!"
It's the perfect time to rewatch Knives Out. It's never a bad time, for the record.
