I was full expecting that bill to pass with the riders. An unexpected victory.
1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills.
This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history.
If it passes, it will be a big win for 2026.

Democrats Successfully Strip All Anti-Trans Riders From Final Appropriations Bills
The HHS and Education bills once contained the most sweeping anti-trans provisions in congressional history. Now they contain none.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

One of the things about this is the slippage when talking about AI. Framing at first: Grok apologized, Grok made image. Framing now: People make the images.
Consistency is that it's whatever is necessary for media and political classes to justify staying on the child porn app.

"It's not necessarily the app that's making the images... it's people using the app that's making the images. Making images of that sort is reprehensible..."
No, people are asking the app to make the images.
IT'S A FEATURE. Not a bug.

Bojack Horseman’s finale sticks with me.
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:
