i am asking yet again how it is legal for a company to send me a letter saying "sorry somebody stole all your personal information from us and now they have all of your personal information. sucks to be you! bye!" and then they receive no consequences and it happens again a week later

this was the IRA, which every senate democrat voted for and every senate republican voted against

They'll cheer on the war then complain about the refugees it'll create.

i didn't want to hear from software engineers when they thought their field was the only one that mattered and i don't want to hear from software engineers now that the computer is doing their jobs for them. they are not interesting

I'd say that helping Russia was part of the plan all along, but I doubt there was a plan.

Helping Russia is a fortuitous coincidence for the pro-Putin right.

This is one of the curlers on the USA Paralympic curling team and I told him today that he should post about his Paralympic experience on BlueSky because people on BlueSky get very excited whenever anybody doing anything cool in the world posts through it on BlueSky instead of other websites

the crawl on my TV says Great Britain is (+600) against Mexico today, and if this information means something to you, know that it's not too late and help is available.

idk when the interview happened and there's no date, but it can't be emphasized enough that we've basically validated every nutty right wing theocrat in Iran and even if the government changes hands it will likely be something far more reactionary than it was prior, given historic trends.

🌟 We're thrilled that national Indivisible has joined us in endorsing Robert Peters for the US House of Representatives in Illinois's 2nd district. We agree - @robertpeters.bsky.social will be a powerful leader in Congress to fight for our democracy!

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

Life moves so fast. Take a breath and slow things down, like a group of people walking five abreast at the airport.

how can we better impart to people that this is what chat gpt is? it just generates random shit that satisfies what it thinks you want, in this case a guy asking if he's being followed and by who- it just randomly grabs whatever it thinks fits

I know AI is marketing but there has to be a way

Best police force to protect a murderous army of secret police - Chicago Reader Unified Command of Broadview, Illinois, a powerhouse conglomerate of cops led by the Illinois State Police and the Cook County Sheriff’s Office.

Saw a thoughtful thread about AI, don't want to QT or argue. But. The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.

It's really quite remarkable. Players are better holding onto the ball and there are fewer messed-up handoffs, but also some plays that used to be fumbles are now called as incomplete passes.

Advisory on Department of Law's Cooperation with Oversight of Its Employment Actions - Chicago Office of Inspector General The City of Chicago Office of Inspector General has published an Advisory on the Department of Law’s Cooperation with Oversight of Its Employment Actions.

Chicago’s Law Department refused to give records to the inspector general but turned them over instead to a cover FOIA from the IG. Mayor Johnson’s City Hall caught playing games with IG Deborah Witzburg — or a breakdown in competence on this matter.

one funny thing we could do to the supreme court is take the power to deny cert away from them, and their clerks

“The Federal Tax Credit Scholarship is not an isolated policy choice: it follows a pattern of policies that weaken, and normalize weakening, public education while insulating private actors from responsibility.”

wild that this has to be said but it's true, unrepentant puppy-killers should not have the kind of power and discretion now wielded by Kristi Noem

This is such an important point.

Tech often treats knowledge as a kind of retrieval system for facts, like you just order them from a menu

A librarian is like a chef who can say what ingredients do you have, what flavors do you like? And then introduce you to the best food you've never heard of

I've seen headlines about Rick people leaving California and New York for the last 30 years and those states have a higher standard of living now than they did in the 90s

Early voting begins at locations all across Chicago, suburban Cook County The time has come in suburban Cook County, as early voting opens in 55 locations on Monday. Polling also expands across all 50 Chicago wards.

Early voting begins in all 50 wards in an hour!

I strongly recommend voting early because it frees you up to help with GOTV and Election Day activities.

that even a single Democrat is doing anything other than raising hell in opposition to this is, again, baffling to me. all they do is follow populism... until extremely unpopular things happen, at which point they line up in support!?

Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas.
"There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.
