I was on a pro vs anti ai panel the other day and this is what I was trying to say but I’m not as smart

The point of playing a game of chess is not to achieve the quickest possible route to victory for one side in a chess game, it is to have and perform those thoughts and actions yourself and grow.

This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them

Hey man come over, we're watching ready player one nude. We're all gonna point at the screen and wild out when they show garfield or whoever. Rest of the time, we're free to explore the pleasures of each other's bodies. Eyes, hands, mouth, it's all good. It's just skin man. Just garfield and skin.

Our plan went from about 2k a month—hellishly expensive enough—to almost 5k. (Yes, we’d be paying more than 50k a year if we kept the same plan). We’re hunting for other plans that will at least cover my oncologist.
KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action.

Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

He's proposing this again today:

1. Take money away from insurance companies.

2. Give that money to the people.

3. The people can then buy their own insurance.

4. From, presumably, companies that sell insurance.

5. Which are also known as "insurance companies."

Here’s a story for every national news outlet:

In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.

“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

Alice Wong was a fierce advocate for disability rights and a courageous and compassionate human being. The impact of her work and the memory of her live on. May her spirit rest in peace.

She was known online as @sfdirewolf.bsky.social.
Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

one of the many many reasons Ravenous is so good is that it doesn't give a stupid choice about But The Drawbacks Of Vampirism. You're not all tortured or sallow or unable to see sunlight or garlic. It just makes you better and healthier in every way, and then asks "so. why might you not want this?"

Don't Let Democratic Centrists Hijack the Majority With Their Cowardice!

Vichy Democrats decided to betray their party, their base, and Americans fighting for lower healthcare costs based on a bullshit promise by Republicans. Never forget.

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.
These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen

Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.
