America.gov launched today--a DOGE initiative to use AI to deliver public services. Child lying facedown on a frozen lake as the image accompanying the question: "How can I invest in my child's future" is just incredible. Way to go AI
Image of a child lying facedown on a froze lake.  above is the portal where you ask AI questions about government services.  the question matching this image is:  "How can I invest in my child's future?"

Are there any jumping spiders in the spiderverse? Like you get bitten and then you need to dress in sequins and do little jazz hands over your head from time to time.

Class action settlement terms are also increasingly ridiculous, like: Trade Offer -Our law firm gets $7.7 million for arranging this settlement. -You get your data stolen, are paid $5, and relinquish the right to complain about it ever again.

It’s pretty frustrating to see conversations about AI as a cure for drudgery led by men who probably already get to avoid the most quotidian tasks in their workplace. So what are we taking about? The drudgery of repetition? Attention? Accuracy? Human interaction?

honestly some of the most apocalyptic impacts of "AI" will be shit like this, and most of the doomsday dipshits predicting SkyNet can't be bothered to notice or care

UnitedHealth uses AI model with 90% error rate to deny care, lawsuit alleges
For the largest health insurer in the US, AI's error rate is like a feature, not a bug.

I wonder if Jenn made it on time
A photo of an NYC subway tunnel on the approach from the Manhattan Bridge to Canal St. A tunnel light is causing a lens flare toward the upper left corner. The gray walls have aging graffiti: rounded white tags from Baal, a pointy tag by Boof, and the tail end of a mint green throwie by Phame, with a black drop shadow and a white outline. A speech bubble coming out of the Phame tag reads  “Jenn don’t be late!”

HBO just released a new trailer for counting to 100. I know I'm supposed to have outgrown it, but it feels so magical to see all my old friends again: 7, 20, 5, and this time they even managed to include 22.

NYC Dem Establishment: Progressives don’t know what they’re doing and can’t be trusted! Also the Dem Establishment: [shambling around under a tablecloth to avoid an interview] hellgatenyc.com/bkdems-2026-...
A screenshot of a Hell Gate article about the Brooklyn Democrats’ meeting to nominate judicial candidates. It reads:

“Breaking out of their besieged position from the north, loyal blockers surrounded Bichotte Hermelyn and attempted to conceal her from view with a large blue rayon tablecloth. The NY1 team engaged, attempting to talk to the party chair, only to be steamrolled by the Dem’s offensive line.

Bichotte Hermelyn and her party made a break for it out a side door, only to realize it opened onto an enclosed patio and did not offer any means of escape. No way out but through, they circled right back in through the door they just exited,…”A blurry photo of a chaotic scene. Several people in the foreground are facing away from the camera. In the background, a group of people are holding up or covered by a large blue tablecloth.

I fell into a rabbit hole reading about the family dynasty behind Taylor Farms. The diarrhea parasites may have been imported from Mexico, but the family’s story is nothing if not American. It involves lettuce, land, labor movements, lawsuits, feuds, and innovative uses of plastic. A thread:

I hope folks near the Great Lakes are hanging in there. The air quality numbers are insane.

If the US doesn’t want to be bothered by the ICC it should avoid committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in the countries where the court has jurisdiction. Don’t want Americans imprisoned thousands of miles away? Stop sending them to do horrific shit thousands of miles away. Simple.

Yeah pretty much
A screenshot of two Bluesky tweets. The first, from Gillian Brockell, reads, “I 100% believe we have to have noncarceral pathways to allow people to come into right relations with the rest of humanity. But almost by definition those pathways do not end with leadership roles. If they want it to be a leadership role, then I question the sincerity of their conversion.” The second post, by #StupidSuez, reads, “Rahm Emmanuel, considered one of the most pro Israel members of the Obama admin and a 2028 presidential candidate, is going to deliver a speech on Wednesday where he will call for an end to all taxpayer funded aid to Israel and sanctions on people, banks and companies engaged in settlement activity.”

It’s almost as if it’s better to nominate someone who’s vaguely normal and exhibits good judgment than a guy who fulfills some kind of fantastical macho stereotype about the white working class.

I wonder how public services shape people’s feelings about government. I might feel differently if I lived in a city that privatized everything and occasionally patched potholes. But I get to live in a place has government-funded pools, schools, transit, housing, parks, hospitals, libraries, etc.

This is an especially wild thing to say in the wake of NYC’s primaries. NYC’s Democratic machines weren’t known for turning out volunteers but for backroom deals and uncontested elections. All that door knocking and mobilization is being led by progressive orgs, not by the party.

Yesterday, a guy sitting across from me on the train kept pulling shoes out of his backpack and putting socks over them. If the shoe already had a sock on? He added another. I will be thinking about this for the next six months.
