You are not just reading a book to your baby. You are teaching your baby in that moment about how books are held, how page are turned, which direction they are turned in, how to look critically at information.

And you are teaching the baby that you care for them, that they deserve your time and attention, that you enjoy their company, that they are a person and not a series of tedious tasks and obligations

Love a direct, to the point queen. Say it plainly and leave no space for bad-faith bullshit.
Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

The question of the Sept. 1 primary race in MA-4 is simple: Democracy vs. Oligarchy. Trump-aligned Silicon Valley billionaires like Marc Andreessen have spent nearly 190K through a crypto super PAC to protect the incumbent @repauchincloss.bsky.social.

A New Color (1/5🧵)
Page 1: A man is walking home, smoking a cigarette, being quietly trailed by a UFO above him. As he enters his apartment, two aliens watch from inside the ship. Alien 1, who has a large head, says, “that’s him. Let’s move.” Page 2: The man walks upstairs as the aliens watch from the entrance of the building. The man enters his apartment and greets his little dog. Suddenly there is a knock at the door.Page 3: he peers through his peephole, and sees the two aliens standing in the hallway. Alien 1 is holding a briefcase. From behind him, the voice of alien one: “don’t scream.” Page 4: The aliens are seated across the room on the man’s couch. Sadie is in her bed next to them. Alien 1 says, “you’re not in any danger. Have a seat.” The man looks at his dog and thinks, “sadie is unusually calm.” Alien 1: don’t scream, or it’s a problem.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time.

I wrote about using Raycast's new Glaze app to make a superhero-themed to-do app, and other adventures in next-generation vibe coding www.platformer.news/glaze-app-ra...
Is any of this remotely necessary? Of course not. Does it represent a copyright violation and an indictment of the safety guardrails of the LLM provider I am using to generate these images? Almost certainly.

In the meantime, though, my little app has succeeded where no previous to-do app has to date: making my chores fun. For me. Until recently, software development was too expensive to pursue something so stupid. Not anymore!

Not true. In their list of grievances, the Founding Fathers complained that King George III was blocking colonial laws that would promote immigration and make it easier for foreign settlers to become citizens.
Reuters tweeted: "Pope Leo urged Americans to uphold the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, praising the country's long tradition of welcoming immigrants in his first major address to the United States." They then attached a video of the Pope speaking. 

Someone named NoraNH replied: "The Declaration of Independence doesn’t mention immigrants"The Declaration of Independence.He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

I know we get inured to stuff, but it is hard to fathom the cruelty here. At a time of tax cuts for the most powerful, they are trying to remove basic supports for the most vulnerable. The Trump administration's war on people with disabilities continues.

You’ve got one week left to pre-order the limited edition run of Kat Comics! If you’re in IL-09, you might’ve already seen these in your mailbox. If you’re not, you can still grab a limited first edition copy of the full comic!
Comic illustration of Kat, with copy that reads 

"I didn't plan to run for Congress. This is how I got here."Comic illustration, panel 1: Immigrants locked behind a fence, with copy that reads "United States. October 2025: / INSIDE AN ICE PRISON, HUNDREDS OF MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN ARE SHACKLED AND DEPRIVED OF THEIR BASIC RIGHTS.

Comic illustration, frame 2: Detainees stand over a disgusting toiler, with copy that reads "OVER 95% OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO CRIMINAL RECORD. / NOWHERE TO SIT OR LIE DOWN. NO LIGHT FROM THE PLYWOOD-COVERED WINDOWS."Comic illustration, panel 1: Crowds of people hold gross food, with copy that reads "MOLDY FOOD AND ONE BOTTLE OF WATER A DAY. IT'S HORRIFIC."

Comic illustration, panel 2: Broadview ICE facility, with copy that reads "THIS IS WHERE OUR NEIGHBORS ARE TAKEN AFTER ICE SNATCHES THEM OFF THE STREETS. JUST OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO, IN BROADVIEW, ILLINOIS."

Copy at the very bottom reads 'TO BE CONTINUED..."
