Here's my question. How do Dems go from having 20 Rs against extension to facilitating any renewal with unanimity? Data is obscure Does anyone have any idea where to get this info? AP reports "handful of Dems" helped-who? Is Jeffries even whipping votes against? apnews.com/article/cong...

I just want to say that typed “granular” three times and my phone changed it every to “gradual” three times. All of the tech wants us dumber, more boring and easier to control.

Hey @davekarpf.bsky.social! as a @wired.com subscriber, I expect to be told of a (September) hack by them, not Techspot. As a reader and contributor, did you get an email acknowledging it even happened? www.techspot.com/news/ Unsurprisingly, this wasn't covered in their 2025 hacks roundup story.

The group, which goes by the name Lovely, said it reached out to Condé Nast months ago to warn them about six vulnerabilities it had discovered.

My @icsjournal.bsky.social article on deputized surveillance focuses on US state's role over capitalism-centric narratives. I argue deputation insulates surveillance from democratic dissent, removing partisan competion on privacy. DM me for open access link! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Just got an email from Lyft asking me to oppose NYC congestion fees and other fees. I have never had a Lyft account, so who did they buy my email from? Also, fuck cars.

Agreed, the internet isnt new anymore and also they all have young clerks and staff. Same goes for Congress, old man talks about tubes is a shtick to keep the illusion they're too incompetent to regulate. Congress' stock portfolios, donations &campaign ad buys show they know how the internet works.

@kenklippenstein.bsky.social I want to add to this perspective: House members run every 2 years& Nov 5 was 47 days ago. She wasn't just just AWOL for 6 months from her official duties. She was AWOL for her own election—did voters notice? This is why gerrymandering matters too, not just term limits.

It was only 14 days ago that @karlbode.com and I were skeptical and mocking of the NYT proclaiming Zuck was "done" with politics. WSJ reports he's donated $1 million Zuckbucks to the Trump inauguration committee. Told you, "nah".

I'm really glad to see the FTC and CFPB finally take aim at dodgy data brokers. less glad that we waited until two months before Trump 2.0 takes a hatchet to the entirety of federal consumer protection under the pretense of government efficiency

WaPo veteran Robert Kagan, who just resigned, says the timing of Bezos killing the paper’s endorsement and Trump’s meeting with Blue Origin is too big a coincidence to ignore; Bezos and Trump struck some kind of deal. www.thedailybeast.com/ex-washingto...

"Trump waited to make sure that Bezos did what he said he was going to do, and then met with the Blue Origin people," he said on Saturday. "Which tells us that there was an actual deal made, meaning that Bezos communicated, or through his people, communicated directly with Trump, and they set up this quid pro quo."

Since only one party actually disdains political violence, it should be loudly denouncing the availability of guns. Unfortunately, Obama's rhetorical civility as policy has taken hold of the response for the party. Hope Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social or others will redirect meaningful conversation.

New Deal built public infrastructure, but of course they can't call this Gilded Age 2.0 scheme. Also not a deal, deals require consent (like, consent of the governed), but Silicon Valley is used to "c0nsent or get fucked".

"do nothing" is very generous when it clearly works overtime to hand over warrantless customer data & to sell it. I think of it as payment for services rendered+future compliance. They can't be bothered to take a contract for poor America's access because their data isn't worth much to brokers.
