So Trump just attempted to bribe me with 1/3 of a month's Medicare payment. This is illegal as fuck without any kind of authorization, especially right before the midterms. It's incredibly insulting that he thinks throwing seniors a tiny little bone won't just make us hate him even more intensely.

The answer is to pay people in those professions in proportion to their contribution to society. Our quality of life depends on art, music and education every bit as much as it depends on legal help, medical care, and technology. I agree that the unequal treatment of women is at the heart of this.

“Kyle Cheney of Politico reported last month that the Trump admin has lost nearly 10,400 court cases over DHS immigration detentions while prevailing in about 1,200. That translates to a 90% loss rate. More than 425 judges—an overwhelming majority of them—have decided against the admin.”

@bsky.app I liked being able to pinch and zoom the screen so I could read text and see pictures better. That functionality seems to have disappeared in the past couple of days. The page is locked at one size which is a little too small for my aging eyes to read easily. Can resizing be restored?

Yes, I'll think I'll trust this machine to do my research for me! "800 cities" is definitely "thousands of cities"! Google's AI summaries are beyond useless. AI is good for number crunching, but using it for art, research, or writing will just cause people's brains to atrophy and turn to mush.

This is a good thing. Trump's DOJ attorneys are leaving in droves because they are being asked to defend illegal and unconstitutional orders, and they are too professional and ethical to do so. Good lawyers are going to save our country. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

Two-thirds of the DOJ unit defending Trump policies in court have quit
The U.S. Justice Department unit charged with defending against legal challenges to signature Trump administration policies - such as restricting birthright citizenship and slashing funding to Harvard University - has lost nearly two-thirds of its staff, according to a list seen by Reuters.

They used to teach kids about PT Barnum and the Wizard of Oz, and when they got older, had them read "1984", "Animal Farm", and "Fahrenheit 451". Now everyone trusts some YouTuber in his Mom's basement more than they trust experts. This is how civilizations die.

Computers already exceed the powers of the brain with respect to speed and accuracy. AI attempts to mimic and then "exceed" us. Humans are capable of the most wicked, evil, deceptive, unethical, and horrible things. Why would anyone want to build a machine that will inevitably "exceed" those powers?
