I was just pointing out a couple of days on here that this is the LOWEST HANGING FRUIT of low hanging fruit for Democrats to promise if they take control of Congress. RAISE THE FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE from $7.25. It has not risen since 2009. It's criminal.

This is spectacular, folks. We live in a moment in American history when the president and his administration are so racist and dumb that a toy company has to put out a statement saying: "OUR GIANT ROBOT THAT TURNS INTO A TRUCK DENOUNCES RACISM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO THE CURRENT PRESIDENT."

how does the claim that you'll get "left behind" if you don't start using AI *right now* have any pull? isn't the whole premise that AI has essentially zero skill barrier to entry?

So I was thinking about Valve's Prospero recently #y2k #art #illustration
a landscape of flowing purple shapes dotted with shiny glassy spheres and trees with airplane-shaped leaves. On the hazy horizon there is a city destroyed by sharp angular shapes of red and black stretching into the sky. On the foreground, a giant black woman with rocket engines in her hair locks is half-lying down, her face is a shattered void, and on her chest is painted a blood-red hexagon. She is surrounded by levitating monks with red hexagon prisms instead of heads, and is approached by a small human figure

the imagined art has the console standing on four pointy tilted legs. the legs lead up to the top part of the console and are black. the of the console is round and has a point green 'x' and the number 2 printed next to it also in green. between the front legs and below the top part of the console is a silver part with a button with a green pointy x on it and two smaller black buttons either side. (this desciption has come from both a top down view and a front on view, which are also displayed in black and white outlines).
to the right of all of this is a box with specs.

“As Texas flooded, key staff say FEMA’s leader could not be reached” note the last sentence below. gift link: wapo.st/46BGTDU
They couldn't reach a key U.S. official needed to deploy the resources, one required by law to be accessible during emergencies: FEMA's acting administrator, David Richardson.
Just a few weeks earlier, his boss, homeland security chief Kristi L. Noem, instituted a policy requiring her approval for any expenditure over $100,000. That meant, in order to deploy resources to Texas, FEMA officials needed Richardson to get those requests in front of Noem - fast.
But for about 24 hours in the early aftermath of one of the nation's deadliest flash flooding events in decades, key staff members could not reach FEMA's top official, according to eight current and former officials with knowledge of the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they said they feared retaliation. The agency's typical posture is to get resources to a disaster zone before state and local governments even have to ask for them, current and former officials have said, because minutes can cost lives.
