The Department of Homeland Security has had to correct information provided to at least five states after its SAVE voter tool misidentified some voters as noncitizens, according to correspondence between state and federal officials.

With @texastribune.org
“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes.
The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

it's funny in a way, but the rubio speech is an AI-quality imitation of an Obama speech, but with ethnonationalism replacing pluralism. It's as if the prompt were, "write me an obama speech but make it white supremacist." Hasn't been president in a decade but they're still biting

Would like to meet a partner that isn’t afraid of aging. Tired of my “youthful looking people” being pursued like a tangible good.

If you have to get on the internet to ask people to fund your weed habit then maybe you shouldn’t have one.

Just a thought.

A book I highly recommend on electronic slot machines—which fully convinced me they should be illegal for how they systematically mislead our brains—is Natasha Dow Schüll‘s ADDICTION BY DESIGN

Gamified online gambling seems much worse, & is becoming much more ubiquitous

It will immiserate so many
I see no reason not to look at the online gambling and prediction market craze as a new opioids crisis.

It will wreak havoc on lower-income Americans and leave a trail of destruction and despair in its wake.

The companies are just Purdue Pharma 2.0

I would be interested in what an AOC cabinet would look like

newrepublic.com/article/2065...
You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

Can you think of examples where people use technologies differently from what the developers intended, whether unintentionally or as an act of resistance?

Empathy is such a superpower.

I often think about the people I encountered in my life who didn't believe in altruism, didn't believe there was any point in helping others.

"Save yourself. Why bother trying to save the world?"

The whole world? Not alone. Ripples of kindness reach all. (Alt txt)
a circle of water with a reflection of trees
Alt: The reflection of trees upon the water ripples after a single drop transfers its energy to the stillness of the surface causing waves that move outward from the center. The beauty and sorrow of this is that the energy can be quickly lost. For waves of kindness to sweep the world, our hearts must pour love like rain from a high, holy place. What can you do in your world, your sphere of influence, to create a ripple today?
