I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)
brianmcginnisnc Brian McGinnis' wife has NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital. He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries. Legal counsel has also been denied access. A Marine veteran. A firefighter. A father of four. And his family still cannot see him.
so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm
The Washington Post Breaking News Post Exclusive 27 minutes ago Justice Department targets Cuban officials, aims for indictments The effort to bring charges against Cuban officials coincides with President Donald Trump saying that his administration is eyeing Cuba as the next country whose government might be overthrown, following the capture of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro in early January and the killing of Iran's supreme leader on Saturday.
A regime that values domestic and international violence above the rule of law is unsustainable.
If you read the bill, it attaches liability to the chatbot answer ONLY IF the same answer would attach liability to the person making the same statement.
Complicated new issue but seems AI companies want Section 230 type immunity. I don’t think that’s where the public (and juries) are, at all.
I think this is accurate, because everything about the language and escalations point to it
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
I'm so glad she wrote this. The portrayal of her in this series is, to me, indefensible. She deserves an apology from the filmmakers and FX.
And if you hear yourself saying you portrayed a real person (who's alive!) in a particular way to manipulate your audience, please go improve.
A Congressman not only assaulting a protester, but breaking their arm, should result in their immediate removal.
Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
Prosecute Noem. Don’t forget about her.
AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.
Who controls archives and whose allowed to speak on them has always shaped violence
ALWAYS
AI is an ARCHIVAL project of lack of consent
So, we used ’ai’ to perform this stupidity, it seems
By the same argument quit Facebook, Insta, WhatsApp and Amazon... Which is no bad idea. (tks @davidveevers.bsky.social)

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Once again, malign neglect is a feature, not a bug, in concentration camps
The BBC is reporting that this hoard has been sold at auction for £33k, to an anonymous US collector.
So, these historically significant coins, which should be in a museum in the UK, are now lost to the nation forever.
A sad outcome that reflects poorly on all concerned.
Whomp, there it is

They’ve already seeded the next few generations.
Media continues to fail to report authoritarian pretexts as authoritarian pretexts
From @audreywatters.bsky.social's newsletter today:
"There is no magic bullet, no magic technology that “saves” time; only a system that demands more and more from each of us, only a technology that further extracts and exploits and denigrates . . ." (more)
It is always fascinating to me when people don’t seem to realize how far off the deep end we are.
If you are able to have Claude write 99% of your code, that is because your code is trivial or you simply do not care about the long-term of your project.
It is guaranteed that high usage of these tools will deteriorate one's ability to even judge whether one is deteriorating.
The number of times I've seen some vibe coded app that a layman is impressed by and thought how easily it could have been done by stringing together a few shell commands is way to high for me to think those doing the judging have any idea what they're even looking at.
“City residents living in predominantly Black and Hispanic neighborhoods are three times more likely to be under the watchful eye of police surveillance cameras than those in mostly-white neighborhoods, according to the Rochester Police Accountability Board.”
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.
The administration is deliberately taking a chainsaw to everything they think they can ruin. It's on purpose!
Claims of being 'startled' by this are by now an insult to readers' intelligence
A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.
