The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Tech sure has dug itself into a hole if a technology like passkeys, which is a solution to one of the most pernicious problems in being a person with online accounts β€” the password problem β€” is viewed with skepticism because websites and apps are actually adopting them in unison.

Yes, please. I strongly believe that fictional narratives inform and shape the direction of the culture. Which is to say, if anyone is sitting on a great Nazi-hunting book, movie, or TV show idea, now is the time to release it into the world.

Rather than make unwanted disclosures, many readers confronted by a publisher's age authentication request will leave the publisher's service and not complete the authentication process. This U-turn is called a "bounce." 120 Readers' tendency to bounce will be worse for startup publishers who have not yet earned readers' trust. 121 Section II.A.3 will revisit the bounce issue.
Also, governments around the world want people to think twice before sharing sensitive biometric information due to the information's immutability if stolen. Mandatory age authentication teaches them the opposite lesson.
Given the stakes of providing the disclosures required to age-authenticate, the reader's choice of whether to authenticate or bounce is complicated and nuanced. Most minors are still developing the cognitive and analytical skills needed to make these decisions wisely. Yet, segregate-and-suppress laws will force minors to make these decisions constantly, with potentially significant negative consequences for making a bad choice. Thus, if the policy goal is to protect minors online because of their potential vulnerability, then forcing minors to constantly decide whether or not to share highly sensitive information with strangers online is a policy

this is sweet, you wouldn't teach your child to scan their face on a site they didn't trust, would you? (I wouldn't.)

It's worth noting that MAGA shits are trying to destroy the Superman movie not because it's "woke" but because they view Gunn as "woke" and want to destroy him. The movie itself is just a fun and moving Superman film that emphasizes kindness and courage. If that's bad to you, seek help.

I see plenty of them day to day, but - encouragingly - more and more over time appear to be embarrassed about it.

One of the two in my neighborhood has the β€œbought it before Elon showed true colors” sticker, and the other replaced all Tesla logos with a Ford logo.

Can a producer for @lauracoates.com @cnn.com @cnn-news.bsky.social get in touch with me ASAP? Your guests are factually wrong on the law in California and this is dangerous. Press exempt from arrest per CA Penal Code 409.7. I negotiated language of the law. You need to correct this ASAP.

Very light spoilers:

No Vader, no lightsabers, the force is barely even mentioned.

One (semi remarkable) thing about Andor, from S1E1 all the way through the finale this week, is that you could watch it with zero previous knowledge of Star Wars lore, and it would still make sense as a spy thriller

you nerds only like Andor because it's well-written, beautiful to look at, and loaded with great actors.

HAPPENING NOW: Republicans are putting health care on the chopping block / X HAPPENING NOW: Republicans are putting health care on the chopping block

It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid.

While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️

The CSS shape() function Shapes are an important aspect of graphic design.

Say hello to responsive, adaptable shapes in CSS with the new shape() function!

Instead of static SVG paths in clip-path, shape() allows you to define scalable, flexible shapes with familiar CSS units, variables, and even calc().

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Holy shit--the tariffs are working. High-paying manufacturing firms are sprouting all over town. There's a little sapling industrial fabricator blooming in my backyard, offering $95k starting with a high school diploma. It looks so precious, glittering amongst the dew. The madman actually did it.

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes.

The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.
