Big Tech is trying to sneak an AI moratorium into the defense bill. Democrats can't let them.

I'm urging my colleagues to hold firm against this ridiculous attempt to undermine states' abilities to regulate AI.

We beat it once—we can beat it again.

This is beyond horrific.

ICE is responsible for the well-being of people in immigration detention and it is failing that responsibility miserably. Mr. Ge’s loved ones and the American people need answers immediately. www.newsweek.com/ice-detainee...

It was a crazy busy in the bookshop today. I took almost four times what I'd expect to take on a normal Weds. I guess the ramp-up to Christmas has started, which is good news. Independent bookshops make around a third of their yearly income over the seasonal period, so remember to shop local!

All of these films are wonderful and all have particular insight into white America's dreams and schemes.
None of the films Rock Hudson made w/ director Douglas Sirk are streaming — not even as a VOD rental.

But 4 of them are on TCM tonight starting at 8pm ET.

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate his centenary.

Hey, since Patton Oswalt was reinstated, maybe Bluesky moderation can reinstate someone who was banned for doing the exact same thing.

Pete Hegseth’s church is part of Wilson’s sect, and Hegseth has praised Wilson.
Christian Nationalist, Doug Wilson, confirms that children who don’t accept and follow their parent’s religious beliefs should be turned over to the State for capital punishment (be put to death). This fanaticism is real:

Women who get an abortion and anyone who helps them could face up to 30 years in prison under the bill.

It appears to ban any contraception that prevents a fertilized egg from implanting. That would ban IUDs and could strictly limit in-vitro fertilization.

One significant way to fix the federal deficit? Dramatically raise the minimum wage across our country. It will cause an increase in tax collections, much less people on federal assistance, and health outcomes will improve causing less reliance on federal health programs.
