Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

One more thought on the whole "people going back to X" thing. I'm obviously quite biased, but I really think that atproto (which powers Bluesky and others) is about building a better internet in so many ways. But that requires people to use it. The answer to that is to build something better...

Two most important facts: 1) since Trump became President, attacks on Ukraine have grown substantially in volume and scale. 2) Since Trump became President the US has committed zero (yes, zero) new dollars to support Ukraine.

The AI isn’t going to be able to run on however much RAM is in your refrigerator and IoT botnets are absolutely nothing new. This feels like Anthropic doing more hype disguised as panic to me and everyone should be more on guard for that after years of it.

Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.

1) Putin doesn't have diesel to spare. 2) Diesel is cover for lifting sanctions. 3) Putin's statement sounds like he's offering an Iran escape hatch, which I've been predicting. 4) Half of the MASSIVE bribes Putin is offering now don't exist. 5) But he does mention security coop -- Kash.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

It's always been hype. Every time they say "our AI agent went rogue and did a thing", they are describing a computer program that didn't work the way they wanted, not a sentient monster that decided to run amok. AI is just a new computer program, but saying that doesn't raise billions of dollars.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

If I had to guess, he was forced out for not subverting the elections fast enough. That’s pure speculation. OR he stood up for the agents who were demoted for not indicting the people who allegedly threatened Katie Miller. But most likely the former.

Honestly, this sounds like they just haven’t reissued and activated the passes yet because they’re morons. What’s great is that it matters here. What’s not great is that the judge didn’t rule on First Amendment grounds for the TRO, so Trump can argue “you’ve had due process”.
