I know this isn’t useful but it’s weird how “the president should be coherent” was a Very Important Thing just a few years ago and then suddenly wasn’t.

I had no idea Chad Lowe’s thirteen year old daughter died by suicide. That poor young teen. (I don’t know why but I had it in my head she had an illness.)

The rush to accuse, without anything approaching due diligence, artists of using "AI," should be treated with contempt. An artist gets their work *ripped off* to train a plagiarism machine, which then shits out inferior versions of that work, so then you accuse the artist of using "AI"? Fuck you.

If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

We can't have an actual conversation about AI between people with tech knowledge and those without because they purposefully poisoned the vocabulary specifically so they could ride the coattails of actual science and also use that as a shield against claims they are just big fuckin scammers.

Democrats caved and/or facilitated this monopolization of practically every major media property in the US into the hands of a MAGA fascist psychopath. If the US had an opposition party, each of its presidential contenders would would vow to dissolve this monopoly by any means necessary.

In case anyone else needs it, the magic phrase for shutting down men picking apart a sexual violence case by blaming victims is: “The only people who would say something like that are rape apologists, rapists, or both.” You don’t have to argue with them on merit when their claims have no merit.

Californians, you have a very important job to do. Spread the word on why everyone should vote YES ON PROP 40 and no on 41 and 42. If you're confused about these propositions, billionaires like Sergey Brin and Peter Thiel want it that way. Here's a good explainer: www.tiktok.com/t/ZPL1pponT/

There is no more powerful political tool than social pressure from people you respect. Nobody in California should assume their friends and loved ones know the deal about Prop 40. Speak up. Use your power. Prop 40 is barely a rap on billionaires' knuckles, and they're panicking. We can do this.

Scoop: At a secret meeting this summer, an aide to Stephen Miller laid out Trump administration's plan to make it easier for states to round up and institutionalize mentally ill homeless people — by pushing a drastic policy change that would weaken the rights of millions of disabled Americans.

How Trump’s homelessness crackdown became a sweeping retreat from disability rights

After issuing a memo making it easier to institutionalize homeless people, the Justice Department began abandoning cases protecting disabled people’s right to live in the community.

My feelings are that winning a statewide election in Alabama is always going to be a lift for a Dem, and I won't be crushed or demoralized if we fail. But Tuberville is trying really hard to lose and I think people underestimate how mad folks are about the VRA & what SCOTUS did to us.

Trump tried to cut 7.3 billion in public funding for Minnesota, and I sued and protected the funding. Trump implemented extreme tariffs, and I sued to stop them. Every time Trump does something illegal, I'm the first one standing in his way to protect Minnesotans.

With both Lake Powell and Lake Mead at record-lows, here’s a look at how their water levels have varied since Powell was filled in 1980. Neither has recovered from a severe drought in the early 2020s, while Colorado River flows continue to drop. #dataviz #climate #globalwarming

Two graphs of water stored in Lake Powell (left) and lake Mead (right). The data are measured over the water year, which runs from October 1st to October 1st. Years when the lake level increased are marked in blue, years when they decreased are marked in red. Levels in Lake Powell maxed out at about 24-million-acre–feet in the early 1980s, and are currently just over 5-million-acre-feet. Lake Mead was just over 25-million acre-feet in the early 1980s and late 1990s, but is now just under 7-million acre-feet.

Butterbutt. An older comic.

A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."
