The Governor just signed my bill to allow people to sue ICE, Border Patrol, and other federal agents for violating people’s constitutional rights. Starting immediately, people can sue federal agents retroactive to abuse occurring in March 2025.

What's hard about public policy is weighing the trade offs. For example, something sucks really bad and everyone hates it, but on the other hand several evil trillionaires think it's good. What are you supposed to do in that situation

Democrats should make a statement putting everyone on notice that the demolition of the Kennedy Center would be an illegal act, and they will now or eventually hold any board members who approve it, and any contractors who commit it, criminally responsible.

Within dense cities, lower (15-20mph) general speed limits result in shorter trip times for all. But car infrastructure has the purpose instead of allowing high speeds for cars. Stoplights halt walkers so cars can race through. The very existence of stoplights is evidence of a #WarOnWalking

The federal law that makes this illegal basically says “it’s illegal” and nothing else. Congress should amend it to say that any U.S. currency featuring living people isn’t legal tender.

My advice to vegans is to not care if your food is made of animals or whatever. If you eat a sandwich and enjoy it, then subsequently find out it had ground up cow or person in it, don't feel bad. You ate something good that you enjoyed

My advice is not to care whether anything was written by an AI or a human. The only thing worth evaluating is what we human readers are naturally good at determining: whether it is good or bad. If it’s good, read it. If it’s not, don’t. If you’ve got a job where you’re surrounded by colleagues filling your inbox with AI-generated messages that you can’t abide, get a new job or learn to live with it. Hidden secret watermarking signals — even if they work — aren’t going to make things go back to the way they used to be. If you read something and enjoy it, and subsequently find out it was generated by an LLM, don’t feel bad. You read something good that you enjoyed.

Just saw a thing where a director talked about taking out sex/nudity because audiences don’t want to see it. Here’s an idea: fuck the audience. I’m the chef & they’ll eat what I serve them and like it. *The audience* knows what they want? Why don’t you let a toddler drive a car next?

Car-blindness is real! Psychologists or sociologists should study this. Giant two-ton boxes flying all around us, piloted by people who have been rendered psychopaths, regularly injuring & killing our neighbors, and many/most people just ... don't register it. It's just background noise.

It is funny that as more people get duped by AI, the response more frequently seems to be to insist that the models are developing godlike intelligence and we all need to be sooo careful when the real lesson is clearly that the human psyche can get absolutely one-shotted by personalized flattery

Rejecting LLMs isn’t about rejecting their utility or failing to be aware of their power —it’s about rejecting that political project; born out of an awareness that any use of these machines at all promulgates that project and assembles me into adjacent responsibility for its commission.

And again, it doesn’t even matter if these were true. He, a random unelected and unappointed guy, doesn’t get to end run the law, Constitution, & Congress to decide how to set policy. He did, & therefore needs to go to jail for the rest of his life.
