I've been listening to @shrimpandcrits.com every night at work and I'm several story arcs in now. I didn't think it could get any better but every episode proves me wrong.

Not looking forward to when they move away from the Monster of The Week system :/

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Why are you couching all this in soft language? You know full well they're just racially profiling anybody that happens to be in line of sight. They don't know or care who has a criminal record until after the fact. Rip them the new asshole they deserve.

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

This weekend, three men in Evanston hugged their families goodbye to look for work at Home Depot but were attacked by ICE before they could return home.

Two were abducted, one is petrified of leaving the home.

I think we've established they're not going to courts, what's what it means when they're denied due process. So the only alternative is that second thing. Fight or die.

Right, much better to be disappeared and probably killed anyway. Here's hoping they burn you in an oven again and don't just leave your body to rot in the detention cell, which has happened already.

It's about the EOD motto: "Either I win or it's suddenly not my problem anymore."

That's what you're supposed to do to enemy combatants in a war, yes. Surviving an ambush is the ethically and naturally sound choice.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

That's why incisive, scalpel-style violence is much more preferable. Save the wide scope for small-scale sabotage.

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

The medication stockpile bill is the bill I had pegged this year as the most important kind of bill to pass given federal threats, with a short time window to make it happen. Washington passed the same bill earlier this year.

It's so shameful for Newsom to veto this bill.

Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 18h

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills.

Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats.
