“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?”

No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

Stop overrelying on "AI" for important shit. Like, honestly, stop using it for important shit at all, but definitely stop uncritically trusting it at the level of the GODDAM FEDERAL JUDICIARY.
Federal Judges— or staff, but same-same— used "AI" to summarize & draft rulings, issued them w/o checking the work, leading to basic factual errors, & thus undermining the facticity & validity of the rulings entire.

Gee. Who Could Have Foreseen. *stares directly into the camera like in the office*
Two federal judges say use of AI led to errors in US court rulings
Two federal judges admitted in response to an inquiry by U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley that members of their staff used artificial intelligence to help prepare recent court orders that Grassley called "error-ridden."

People keep saying this but I strongly disagree that most people can successfully perform an emotion on camera or speaking in front of a crowd if you merely authentically experience that emotion. It's much harder than you think it is. bsky.app/profile/inep...
It's still galling that a Democratic politician would need speech training and acting classes to learn how to convey anger at the demolition of the East Wing of the White House. So many Dem politicians are Turing Test failures, trapped somewhere in the uncanny valley between human and robot.
This is why debate clubs and the use of public political (or ideological) debates are foundationally bullshit. It’s unfortunately not about what is correct or right, but persuading people to your side. People think they are logical, but we are not naturally so at all.
Speaking the truth honestly gives you and advantage over a liar, but a liar who works hard at communicating can beat someone who thinks the truth speaks for itself.

reminder that UCLA hired a registered agent of the Israeli government to do its PR over the encampments while the admin allowed mobs of hoolig—err, "counterprotestors" to rampage through their students while administrators watched on appreciatively from on high poppy-press.org/2025/07/24/u...

Jesus christ that's so many unchecked citations. These people are so fucking willfully, seemingly gleefully incompetent. Jesus fucking christ.

This is why you don't use LLM-type "AI" to write shit: This is what you look like.

For a pantry cabinet Japanese cha tansu are already extremely functional. If I can have a room sized pantry I would use one of these.

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

Kudos to the State of Massachusetts for putting this message on the SNAP page. Put the blame where it belongs!
Anyway, I’m just going to look at antiques online for today while I do my laundry/clean house.
I just want to 1) have my own place that I can remodel how I like and 2) the funds to do so. Money is wasted on the rich, 99% of them have no taste.
I would do similar in a bathroom, tbh, but would be much more selective and use fewer pieces because of moisture.
This Moroccan wardrobe could become the skin for even an ENORMOUS modern fridge. There’s so much I could do with a place that I own!
—pots and pans, the credenza would get a marble top and be converted for a sink, and the marble topped table would be for cutting/prep. Even the fridge would get housed or clad in a converted or salvaged cabinet or wardrobe.
Just! I cannot express how much I do not like modern kitchen cabinets. They are BORING. (Yes, even the custom faced ones you can get with the nice solid wood, it is not contest, antique wins.) I would use this dolphin table as a kitchen table, the glassfront hunting cabinet for tableware/glassware/-
I sent a video of an interior designer who bought an abandoned Italian villa and was fixing it up to my fam because he had installed a sink with running water in the gutted kitchen and used an antique credenza. That, specifically THAT, using antiques for kitchen cabinetry has been by dream for YEARS

they say stuff like this and you realize, they believe women just fine. they just don't care when we're hurt and think men should be allowed to paw at whomever they want without consequence.

Okay, team! The food bank donations have blown past the $500 I have to match donations, but let's see if we can get volunteers to keep it going and match the ones I can't. I'll reply in a moment with the list of donations still waiting for matches, so please reply if you can match one of them!

Alright, team Bluesky: US foodbanks are about to have staggering demand when SNAP ends Nov 1st. We need to help them prepare.

I'll match donations: DM or reply with a receipt showing your own donation to a food bank of your choice, and I'll donate to match, up to a total of $500. 💪🥗🍲🥚🥧🥪🥣🥛

Wow.

It's comprehensive— tying together many of the incentives (grift) and implications of AI's infiltration in education— well-researched with plenty of links, and so well-written.

It goes from alarming to enraging to bleak and is way worse than I imagined. Glad it ends on a mildly hopeful note.
My spice tolerance must actually come from not only my dad’s Mexican side, but my mom’s Sicilian/Calabrian side

(I am remembering the Calabrian peppers I had on some Roman style pizza in SD during the October holiday)
