The 988 suicide prevention hotline's Press 3 option — which provides specialized services to LGBTQ callers — has been restored more than a year after the Trump administration shut it down. Confirmed by HHS and the office of Senator Tammy Baldwin, who led on legislation that forced its restoration

Neither of those examples are fussy! The pantyhose example might legally be sexual harassment. The lighting a cigarette example should have the reaction of, "what the fuck are you doing. Get the fuck out"

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins
The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

You really couldn't have asked for a more good faith way of approaching the subject and yet... extremely disappointing! I experienced this at the 1666 Amsterdam demo. If the tech is so great at what it does, why are you so annoyed when we ask you what it is actually doing?
Both Kanno’s answer and that Steam description are still notably vague, so wanting some actual details, I decided to push the issue. I asked, “So if you were to explain, what using it for ideation actually means. What does that process look like for someone, you know, someone who might not be a game developer?”It was at this point I noticed Kanno become somewhat annoyed that I had not moved on. Following a short exchange with his translator, she told me, “[So], we actually have to update this explanation, if you, uh, could… it’s all written in there [on Steam].”

I decided, maybe unwisely, not to drop this line of questioning, consulting my chicken handwriting in my notebook, “ So I do have the current Steam disclosure here- uh, which is, ‘Gen AI was used as part of the ideation process for background objects. However, no AI-generated content will be included in the final game.’ Uh–”

Before I had a chance to reiterate the parameters of the question and ask again what Gen-AI being used for ideation looked like, Kanno began talking to his translator, seemingly visibly annoyed. She then told me, “So it is as it’s written in the explanation, and today I would like to talk about Crazy Taxi: World Tour and the time is limited.”

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

Happy Labor Day!
Excerpt from Book 1 of Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations:

"What are the common wages of labour, depends every where upon the contract usually made between those two parties, whose interests are by no means the same. The workmen desire to get as much, the masters to give as little as possible. The former are disposed to combine in order to raise, the latter in order to lower the wages of labour.
It is not, however, difficult to foresee which of the two parties must, upon all ordinary occasions, have the advantage in the dispute, and force the other into a compliance with their terms.
...
We rarely hear, it has been said, of the combinations of masters, though frequently of those of workmen. But whoever imagines, upon this account, that masters rarely combine, is as ignorant of the world as of the subject."

They made 50 of these Black Lance uniforms for a single scene in Wing Commander IV. One of the producers commented at the time that they would have to destroy them afterwards, lest they end up instantly equipping an entire hate group.

The only way to make this better is, in the off chance the meter reaches ~95-100% full, go full Las Vegas Jackpot and shower the screen in rainbows and showering gold particle effects while the words "BONER ALERT!" vibrate in neon at the top of the screen all while doing nothing to the game

Brian Morales, a 25-year-old U.S. citizen, was riding in a vehicle that was stopped by police in April. After the police called ICE, Brian explained to immigration officials that he is a U.S. citizen, born in Colorado, and even offered to show his birth certificate. (1/3)
Photo of Brian Morales with text overlayed in green and white that reads: "U.S. citizen deported to Mexico in April finally returns back to United States."

This summer's food recalls are broader in scope, longer-lasting, and more severe than past years as regulators are slow to respond. The parasite surveillance staff at the CDC, which responds to outbreaks (such as cyclosporiasis), was downsized last year by DOGE from 11 people to three.

A Vietnamese man was beaten on the tarmac in Fort Worth when he refused to get on the plane. Another man, who was shouting, “This is not right!” and “political things” during the flight, was knocked against his seat, dragged to the back of the plane, and put into the full-body straitjacket known as “the WRAP.” Guards stood over him and laughed. He doesn’t know when the man was let out of the WRAP, but he saw that he was back in his shackles by the time they got to Ghana. (All adult passengers on ICE flights are shackled and the ankles and wrists tied to a waist chain.)

Most of the guards were drinking alcohol from red and blue cups and laughing at the detainees. (Another passenger on the flight who did not want to be identified confirmed this.) If anyone stood up to use the lavatory, the guards swarmed them and shouted at them, “Get down now!” An older guard who was not drinking said this was going to be his last ICE flight, because he was going to quit.

The flight medic was repeatedly summoned to check on a man from Maryland, who had gotten a concussion a few days earlier when the driver of an ICE vehicle braked suddenly. The man kept passing out. He was shaking uncontrollably and saying his head hurt. The flight medic told him there wasn’t much he could do.

Deleting this bc of Pinto's retraction.
Basically, Trump told Canada it should be the colony of a empire in the throes of suicide.

The USA demanded Canada's capitulation as if it had lost a war.

PSA: I am sorry I tweeted this without verifying the source last night. I mistakenly assumed that it was sourced from the Saskatchewan premier’s official account. It is an unofficial summary circulating online that has first few items that were cited by PM Carney yesterday,rest are unconfirmed/false

What led to breakdown of US-Canada trade talks? 

Carney says It wasn't just one thing but the cumulative set of unreasonable US demands. 

Conservative Premier of Saskatchewan Scott Moe backs up Carney.

CW: misogyny Men harassed underage trainees & female fans outside 时代峰峻, an agency that trains idols. It devolved into violence and AI-generated explicit images of fans, including minors. Chu Yang provides an excellent overview of what happened, why it happened, and the chilling official response.

I submit this is the most important story of the day. In 2017, a sailor told the President that the old steam carrier catapults were better than the new electric ones, probably in the same way your elderly neighbor says carburetors were better than these new fangled fuel injectors.

I was about to say "Hold on, this isn't something general purpose AI can actually do except maybe for a few public domain books where the text is easily available online. Everything else will be a hallucination" and... well, at least they were ahead of me there.
