"Tell your congresspeople! You must break Elon Musk. Make him a scarecrow for the other members of his class. There will never be a better opportunity: People want blood, and virtually everyone in the world hates this scumbag. If Elon Musk has so much as a million dollars to spend on the 2028 election, the blue Congress will have airballed a layup."

Ivy and I are going to a fireworks display this evening and I super want to wear my very pretty dress but also super want to not freeze!
@alexisbushnell I love it!
@evan @chillicampari What does Paithi mean? Couldnt find it...
@mfeilner @chillicampari literally "child" or "kid", but it's used as a generic term of endearment.

Of all the real-world names for chemicals that sound like they were dreamed up by a comic book writer as an ingredient in some superhero’s origin story, “Zoledronic acid” must be near the top of the list.
I was always creeped out by "arachidonic acid", which sounds a bit like "arachnid" and should have had something to do with Spiderman.
Alas, the relevant hero would have been Mr Peanut.
In 2025, I didn't feel AI was a bubble.
There is a clear use of LLMs.
2026?
The fact that I'm not hearing any new innovation extending beyond LLMs and diffusion-based image tells me that we are in an AI bubble.
But I may be wrong.
That said, I believe in skin-in-the-game, because, otherwise, talk is cheap.
I bought puts. Test my thesis. Lose $200 in honour of being proven wrong.
Win money, and I use it for other endeavours.
Let's see where this goes.
AI and automated systems are increasingly used to decide how people are monitored, scheduled, rated, paid and fired at work, often with no explanation and no way to challenge the outcome.

We welcome REDESCA's call for public policies governing AI to be compatible with human rights. Workers and their representatives need access to information, safeguards against disproportionate surveillance and algorithmic discrimination, and a real right to explanation, human intervention and appeal.

What is fucking WILD is that Aaron Swartz was hounded to his death for using a script to liberate this same info, at smaller scale, for free use by students
I threw up a little when I scrolled by this.
"Law firms that struck deals with President Donald Trump in early 2025 can expect to be subpoenaed by the House Judiciary Committee next year, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said on MSNOW on Wednesday night."
Raskin is a warrior!
if they repealed the Reapportionment Act of 1929, we'd need a lot more room in Congress for the expanded House
I think I know of a certain gigantic ballroom that could be repurposed lol

Hi, I got a couple questions that aren’t answered on your transparency page yet.
- Has AI been used to create this?
- Two AI communities are on top of your communities list. Your terms talk about preventing AI scraping, yet your platform seems to welcome “AI founders”. How does this go together?
- Where is the source code?
- Your terms talk about monetization through Normals Plus. Can you elaborate on this?

@TheVinylApe Such an amazing album, but even better live. In the US Medusa came with a Live in New York album for a limited run (I think it was ‘normal’ in UK?), and she absolutely *destroyed* me with it.
I got to see her live three times, and every time was magic.
@octothorpe she’s the friggin Queen, dude.
Not sure on this one.
Every project completed successfully faces a bad habit of ditching leadership during a sensitive & fragile time of transition.
Would the Iron Curtain & subsequent Cold War nuclear detente happened if Roosevelt hadn't died & Winston Churchill ousted by Labour over housing policy?
Schumer might have been key in convincing 2024 GOP billionaires out of joining in with Musk in 2026.

Jeffries kept a fractious group united & focused.
A heartbreaking reminder that AI isn't a reliable information resource. https://www.comicsands.com/lawsuit-chatgpt-epilepsy-death?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram
