yeah, this stuff is far from my area of expertise, but i have yet to see anyone convincingly explain how the causal chain is supposed to operate here. it feels like the "AI will kill us all people" spent too much time watching Terminator 2 and the Animatrix.

This is going to be unpopular here, but I think the Democratic Party should balance power towards Congress and away from the Executive, even if that means getting fewer policy wins in the short term, if it means making those policy wins more stable over time. (Also SCOTUS reform, obvs)

Our initial takeaways from DC’s 1st ranked choice voting election: 👍 Voters – incl. Mayor Muriel Bowser – told media RCV was easy 🗳️ Voting largely went smoothly, w/ some hiccups like a late rush of voters 🔢 At-large & Ward 1 DC Council Dem primaries likely to go to RCV counts

When Tom Homan, Trump and other Republicans defend the masking of ICE agents, I can't help but think of Orson Welles announcing on his radio show his intention of identifying the South Carolina police officer who violently attacked and blinded the uniformed Black veteran Isaac Woodard in 1946.
Naming the policeman Officer X, Welles addressed him directly. "Wash your hands, Officer X. Wash them well. Scrub and scour, you won't blot out the blood of a blinded war veteran," Welles said. "Go on, suckle your anonymous moment while it lasts. You're going to be uncovered. We will blast out your name! We'll give the world your given name, Officer X. Yes, and your so-called Christian name. It's going to rise out of the filthy deep like the dead thing it is."

Digital illustration. On top of a grassy hill are a stack of dimensionally-rendered letters reading ‘Maybe it’ll happen today’. A bunny and a squirrel and a bird and a butterfly are nearby. A little mouse is poking its head out of the’O’ in ‘Today’. There are flowers and colorful mushrooms in the grass. A friendly orange sun in a blue sky with one puffy cloud is the background.
