well... if one were to search facebook for "Matt norris" "sitting republican legislators" it should come up

so frustrating

*Norris

zucc literally decided this week I'm so queer I must be a danger to children and my fb account is permanently disabled, no appeal, no indication of even what caused the ban hammer to fall :/

I'd link a thing my friend Matt Nortis wrote about how right wing inability to understand consent is why they make such a distinction between csa of small children and csa of older children/teens (they consider the first deviant but the second just politically incorrect )

buuuuut

I was just thinking this morning that maga logic is like "god wouldn't have made him a rich white guy if he was going to molest children! no, surely it's the queers and immigrants doing all that"

<eyeroll>

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

look

these were the folks who weren't sure how many tampons female astronauts would need

I am quite certain there were conceptual blind spots

i've seen people say that penetrative intercourse would be difficult to the point of impracticality in zero g but that's not the only way ppl get each other off, i believe in the power of human ingenuity and exploration

pretty sad considering that the only thing Collins excels at is being a disappointment

I lived in Maine for decades. Collins having a lock on that seat and everything about Maine politics related to that is part of why I left.

Literally anybody else could fucking run and take it, it’s been this way and the DNC is just full of Dixiecrats bargaining with Satan daily. treat them like it

Platner qualifies for Maine Democratic Senate primary The deadline for all candidates to qualify for the June 9 primary is March 16.

And the fact that the Maine Democrats and the Smart Boys in Capitol Hill seem so resigned that he had the nomination all but locked up in a state with RCV and *eleven days to go in the qualifying period* is so bleak.

You just need 2,000 verified Dem signatures to qualify for the primary!

I was literally just talking about exactly this. There is so much wiggle room in anthropic's "Bright Red Lines" that they're ultimately useless.

Experts participate with journalist inquiries fully knowing that their quotes will, at a minimum, be truncated, and that they might be lightly edited for purposes of clarity and space. But this goes well beyond that in my view.

I did not notice this at the time because I was in the middle of selling a house and an international move, and so it slipped under my radar (and the reporter never sent me a copy of it, either; it is now paywalled).

@slamcunningham.bsky.social have you seen this article?

I don't understand how people can't see it. The holocaust isn't the only genocide from history, but it's the one genocide everyone was taught in school, and it's the one they're *intentionally* cosplaying into reality.

The signs could hardly be louder, the signs hardly brighter. And yet...

Inside the Underground Safe Houses Sheltering Immigrants From ICE

We are at this stage of the Holocaust — in Ohio, which hasn’t gotten much attention recently.

“In Springfield, Ohio, some Americans have converted their basements and spare bedrooms into shelters for immigrant families who could be targeted in raids.”

But also the concept for alien abduction is so funny. This alien abducted me and i wasn't good for probing or whatever so they just exfoliated me real good and gave a skin peel and then they dropped me back in the middle of nevada with mcdonalds

Me now: "I mean what are the health risks of a lobotomy really"

Tweet Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again. If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

Back in my day you needed a senior engineer for this sort of thing

Did you know you can shrug and say "No can do boss" when a court orders you to do something

I swear MAGA literally thinks "why would God have let him be a rich white straight man if he was going to abuse children?

no, it's definitely only the queers and immigrants"

anthropic: I have made AI

tech nerds: you fucked up a perfectly good computer is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

First they came for the trans people, and I said nothing because I wasn’t trans. Then they were like actually I’m pretty sure you are trans and I said no I’m not and they went okay well show us your penis then and I said what no get out of my face and they said that one’s a girl get her

so, Mike and Rachel are heading home from a Dr appointment in Boston

I go to check the ramp and, sure enough, some snow dumped from the roof since they left

clear it away only for the roof to drop what basically feels like a snowball to the back of my head

me up at the roof:

I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say “@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from
