Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

I spoke w/ Esquire about the corrosive effects of AI images: "we [need to] develop the ability to discern...to pause and pose the question ‘Is this true?’ We’re...going to have to figure out how to take that pause...it’s do that or get duped...nobody wants to be a dupe" esquiresg.com/we-are-at-wa...
The Ubiquity of Fakery
When the proliferation of AI-generated images not only depicts a changed history, can it also alter one's memory of the past?

Sure, this move will own a lot of trans people who are twice as likely as other Americans to serve in the armed forces, but on the other hand this will absolutely devastate the US cyber command

All of Nancy Mace's bullying and trolling relies on trans existence solely being trans women. Like, if this trans guy walked in the bathroom, she would freak the hell out.

“In 2022, YouGov asked “What percentage of Americans do you think are ___?”

The results were hilarious.

Trans: 21%
Muslim: 27%
Jewish: 30%
Black: 41%
Live in NYC: 30%
Gay or lesbian: 30%

The errors are off by orders of magnitude. The trans estimation by 2,000%.”

I’m going to let my bird nerd side fly and post some of my pics 😀. This is a New Holland Honeyeater!

This. Exactly.
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
