I do care if trans kids play sports. Every child should have the opportunity to participate in athletics if that interests them. If this results in competitive imbalances, so what?

I’m curious how they imagined this landing
A TEMU add from YouTube. The scene is a futuristic cityscape as seen from the height of its skyscrapers, drawn in comic book style. Over this huge white letters proclaim, “TEMU UNITED STATES CLEARANCE EVERYTHING MUST GO!” The text is reminiscent of the signs that go up on bankrupt shops that are being liquidated.

The AI bros are trying to build Computer God. The problem is they don't know how. In the meantime, they're throwing as much computing power and training data at the problem as they can in hopes it just magically happens. It's alchemy dressed up as engineering.

It would behoove progressive and socialist candidates to find a fundraising platform that is not ActBlue. At the end of the day ActBlue is a machine built by and for the Democratic establishment, and that gives me pause when considering contributing to candidates that use it.

This is a great discussion with Ben Shanahan, campaign manager for David Morales who successfully primaried the incumbent mayor of Providence, RI. Worth a listen if you're considering running for office or working on a campaign. thedigradio.com/podcast/winning-pro…

Winning Providence w/ Ben Shanahan
Featuring Ben Shanahan, the architect of socialist David Morales’ victorious campaign to be the Democratic nominee for mayor of Providence, Rhode Island. The Providence left ran a slate of left-wing candidates that not only elected Morales but also swept every single contested city council seat on a platform of capping the rent and building social housing.
