You cannot leave prison without a documented place to stay, a job or rehabilitation program lined up, and someone to come and pick you up. There was one woman we met who was there for 2 EXTRA years at the state prison cause she had no living family and simply couldnt get a ride

Taylor Lorenz listed out all the generative AI apps she uses for Substack, including Elon Musk’s Grok, and is shocked her followers are mad. She wants to have it both ways: to present herself as critical and progressive while still getting to take the same immoral actions as people who don’t.

I would take this outrage more seriously if the ppl engaged in it were directing ANY similar criticisms at ANY other big consumer tech journalists, (all of whom have been open abt the Al tools they use), but they do not. Those journos can openly use Al tools all day & not a peep!

Surprising fact: We are actually NOT seeing more food recalls this year compared with recent years. What we’re seeing is an increase in the number of illnesses caused by contaminated food. This is the largest ever cyclospora outbreak & third-largest foodborne illness outbreak of any kind on record.

Number of food recalls by year
There have been 162 food recalls posted this year by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture.

Chart shows yearly food recall numbers from 2017 to 2026.

it's always good to give yourself and everyone around you more time to think. About anything, anytime you can be present enough to do so. For the people that don't think however...... idk, depends how patient you are.

i like how abolishing ICE is seen by dems as extreme. like, a world without murderous cops is such a fanciful concept.

These peaceful observers I spoke to had ICE show up at their homes in what they see as attempts at intimidation. ICE has somehow been accessing Minnesotans' private data in likely violation of state law, according to privacy advocates. share.google/J00lpWzPzOu2...

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder. Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis. The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

Please understand what it means when journalists are evacuating their family members out of town. In any other country, we would be approaching "foreign sanctions" territory

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations.

Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.”

“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said.

Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Chatbots are not AI, even if they are presented as such. They are basically complicated language probability models that string words together that are meant to *seem* like something someone *might* say. Humans it turns out, are very imitateable. Just ask a parrot.

This gets at a thing I'm trying to write about right now, which is that norms are shifting faster than our ability to talk about them. Like, older generations are still saying "double-check what AI tools tell you", but WHERE are younger people supposed to double-check things? In print?

I chuckled at the news anchor this morning who framed it as, "authorities are scrambling to understand how a man who served in the US Army, including a tour in Afghanistan, became a cold-blooded killer."

I always believe kids. But especially kids who are dealing with abusive moms. We fucking gaslight those kids more than anybody. Being abused by your mother is a such a particular thing because society holds up mothers as basically deities. I rolled snake eyes TWICE on both my birth & adoptive moms
