Weirdly, Big AI has spent the better part of the last 18 months telling us how they’re going to put data centers in space, and now they’re trying to imply that they’re geographically relevant. Either it’s immaterial _where_ data centers are located, or it’s _very_ material. Both can’t be true

I have yet to have a cogent answer to what “winning (or losing) the AI Race” actually implies. Other than “we” won’t be “as good at AI” as someone else. But I have yet to hear a concrete rubric for those benefits (i know the concrete downsides of AI, but any upsides are just adjectives)

Budget crises for public schools are something we have to address, and that means pain will result, and that is both true and awful. But having my local school district dress it up in a PR campaign that euphemizes it as “right sizing…” c’mon. It’s a shit sandwich and we can call it what it is

When you stand for nothing and you accomplish nothing it’s incredibly difficult to “run on your record” when the only record is “trying to expand freeways/failing to deliver any legislation/indebting the state/portland to a billionaire’s plaything/memorializing charlie kirk…”

As a stay-at-home parent, having at least a few days a week in which my kids went to child care was an immense help for getting my stuff accomplished and for them to get socialization time. If you think SAHP won’t benefit from this is telling me you don’t talk to SAHPs

Milquetoast centrists absolutely _hate_ being threatened by the possibility of having to stake out a position on anything. And above all, RCV pushes a candidate to actually stand for something if they want to get elected.

It kinda feels like if big parts of the government keep doing things that “are unconstitutional” that maybe The Constitution isn’t actually relevant to the government anymore.

They weren’t “protesting” anything, they were intimidating and inciting retaliatory attacks while inflicting violence on the people who gathered there to protect their community from fascist agitators. Hell of a use of neutral language

A thing that befuddles my brain is how TERFs are all “but what about bathrooms?” and there’s a very simple solution available that doesn’t involve any gender stuff at all and it’s called “changing the way public bathrooms are designed” and we kinda have about a dozen solutions already available.

So the responses I’m seeing from Chief Day and Councilor Clark to @councilorgreen.bsky.social’s heartfelt plea to build a world that doesn’t need police or prisons is the same line I’ve always heard, “Well that’s not *our* reality.” No duh! You’re actively standing in the way of it.

Generally speaking, when describing long periods of time, the _larger_ unit of time is referenced. One doesn’t typically say “7300 days” when they mean “2 decades,” or “four months” instead of “16 weeks.” Unless of course, you’re trying to minimize the description of the time period.

Before the industrial revolution no one walked around in nature for pleasure, which is why artistic representation of the outdoors didn’t exist before 1800.

This is beyond infuriating. Please Portlanders in District 4, don't rank Zimmerman. People who use claims of antisemitism to silence legitimate criticism are not protecting the Jewish people and do not speak for those of us who believe "never again" meant never again anywhere and to anyone else.

40 year old d-mid unable to accelerate from dead stop to cover _perfectly_(too perfectly?) timed run. Maybe Surman could have covered middle (i didn’t see if anyone was making a back post run). Harsh goal to let in considering how solidly (Dallas away rules) this defense has played.

It is long past time for the legislators to classify aporophobia-induced violence as bias crimes, and also encourage employers to provide anti-classism training for their employees, in addition to anti-racism and sexual harassment training.
