A lawyer on Twitter got so livid with me when I asked what the point of going to law school was if the 5th Circuit purposefully misinterprets the law to fit their ideology and I stand by that
The 5th Circuit grants a Texas father the right to deny his daughter access to birth control, holding that Title X does not override parents' "right to consent to their teenagers’ obtaining contraceptives" under state law. (via @mjsdc.bsky.social) s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24...

Remember that Intuit (the owner of Turbotax) lobbied extensively to kill Direct File, which did tax filing for free and somehow managed to make a good and intuitive user experience without AI.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

“Michael Burry, who famously shorted the US housing market before its collapse in 2008, has bet over $1 billion that the share prices of AI chipmaker Nvidia and software company Palantir will fall — making a similar play, in other words, on the prediction that the AI industry will collapse.”

His proposed budget tomorrow is a massive cut to social programs, huge breaks to corporations, and giant spending on the military and the RCMP.

Someone should start a company that provides actual goods or services instead of just stealing people's data for no apparent benefit to them, that would probably do well

I also started donating back when this headline hit. In retrospect, I should have anticipated that Musk and other chuds would go after the one remaining high-profile web project that doesn't absolutely suck shit.
I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.
Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia
Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying
Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money
Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

Video of officers abusing their power and hurting people can really matter. Video is a big part of why the police killing of George Floyd was the BLM case that provoked the biggest public reaction.
When people see violent abuse, they’re forced to confront it more. Not seeing makes it easier to deny.
Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.
