Same question as before - which major newspaper or media outlet starts changing from AI to SI first?

I think he's definitely speaking in slogans. And I also think he's very possibly an idiot.

Right - same with a guaranteed basic income. In what world do American politicians ever support this? In what world do the tech overlords ever really support this? I mean, come the fuck on.

Right - it's nonsense. In what future world will these billionaires and the corrupt politicians who support them suddenly become generous and focused on social justice for all? I mean, come on!

Here's what I never understand - these problems are so obvious. Commentators, both lay and expert, write about them endlessly. There's NO WAY the coaching staff and players don't see this too, undoubtedly in more detailed analysis than we can imagine. So . . . why doesn't it get fixed then?

Delay delay delay. It’s clear Trump wants nothing to do with this.

Horrifying: Arizona Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia was raped by a man after he knocked her out. Another man approached her to do the same. “She began swinging her foot at him. ‘Not even worth it,’ she heard the man say as he moved away.”

Embarrassed, she initially didn’t want to report attack. Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office's investigation is ongoing.

Hope so! Plus, when people talk about how you can use Muse to make reservations, I keep thinking -- you know what else I can use to make reservations that takes me very little time? Open Table and Resy.

Right - 75% of the examples I've heard are all things that take less time to do than telling someone else to do it for you would take.

So if I give Meta all my financial information, access to all my money, and the passwords to my work and personal email accounts, its agent can make reservations for me and order me food? That’s the bargain here?

I didn't hate the ending. But I did hate the two or three seasons leading up to it where the episodes were largely unwatchable. But we had to watch them because we put in all that time to find out how he met their mother!

Right?! I was yelling at the hosts of Hard Fork and the Daily as they were talking about this. They gave this issue lip service, but it was barely that.

Yeah - most (not all) use cases I’ve heard seem like they’d take more time to tell the AI agent exactly what you want it to do than to do it yourself.

the sad part is that survivors fought like hell to even get expulsion for rapists on the table. when I was an activist > 10 years ago, administrators were *shocked* that we wanted expulsion as a disciplinary option.

100% agree John. Their playoff offense has been ice cold since midway through the AZ series three years ago. They need to break out of it.

Happy 250th birthday to the PA Constitution! And it's better than the US Constitution: - ERA - inherent rights - right to happiness - explicit protection against race discrimination And more! Go PA!
Original PA Constitution - adopted September 28, 1776.

I loved participating in this story abt a new crop of cases challenging abortion bans based on the pregnant person's right to life. Kind of wish I hadn't cursed on the record, but 🤷‍♀️!

been thinkin about how robots are gonna kill us
Scratchy drawing of a two panel comic.
Panel 1: 
Titled:“How we thought robots would kill us”
A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:
Titled “How robots will actually kill us”
A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”

So happy that "The New Abortion Battleground" (co-authored with @dsc250.bsky.social & @rebouche.bsky.social) was cited yesterday by the Sixth Circuit in finding a Tennessee law unconstitutional that criminalizes helping a minor obtain an abortion (even out of state where it is legal)

Welty v. Dunaway, 25-5738 (6th Cir. 2026)
After the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, Tennessee enacted a near-total abortion ban and later passed the Underage Abortion Trafficking Act, which included the “Recruitment Provision.” This provision...
