Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

Let's try this again πŸ‘‹

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Operation Metro Surge cost Minneapolis at least $203 million, city officials say Minneapolis officials have released an estimated tab on what Operation Metro Surge has cost city residents so far.

So far it looks like Trump, Noem, and operation metro surge drained Minneapolis aloneβ€”not yet counting St. Paul, Bloomington, etc.β€” $203 million. This was a MAGA Trump assault on an American blue city. Nothing more. Start seeing it.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Worth reading, but pretty dire - since 2005. ICE and CBP can’t be fixed.

If we are required to show a passport in order to vote, doesn’t that make passport fees an illegal poll tax?

PSA: if your wife asks you, β€œwould you spend eternity with me?” the correct response is an immediate, β€œyes, of course.”

Resist any impulse to respond, β€œyou know, I was just thinking that the eternity depicted in that movie seems hellish and awful. Who would choose to do that to themselves?”

But as you’ve written earlier we won’t really know what the sounders will get (will have gotten? Future value messes with grammar) for Vargas unless and until he transfers again.

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification.

But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

If you have an iPhone and menacing people are approaching, click your power button rapidly five times. It will turn off biometrics and require a passcode to unlock your phone.

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.

we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.

delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.
