The regime will be slow walking applications to avoid providing SNAP benefits
Just when you think they can't get any more slimy, they do shit like this.

Everyone will now have to reapply for SNAP.

Don't think for a second that the USDA is going to be able to process 42 million applications in a timely fashion.

That's the whole point.

All major media is complicit in the "both sides-ism" we see everywhere today. UK and USA
So much for left wing bias at the BBC, Brexit is a right wing project and apparently it’s popular.

Do you live in the Charlotte area? Know someone who does? One of the most important things you can do is get a whistle & tell your family & friends & neighbors to do the same. If people blow their whistle when they see CBP that takes away CBP’s ability to surprise vulnerable people.

I have three words for Pam Bondi.

Defense council discovery.
Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

If you are a veteran, I thank you for your service. In my experience, veterans are hard working, good people who often didn't get privileges in their youth. They earned what they have. #veteransday

ChatGPT makes you dumber
I think we are all capable of writing a letter, can we NOT throw it through ChatGPT?!

We’re all going to be completely illiterate in 10 years

The AI bubble is officially bursting.

To get the trillion Elmo must:
- Increase stock value to six times its current level
- Deliver 20 million Tesla EVs in 10 years
- Deploy 1 million robots
- Deliver 10 million paid self-driving software subscriptions

LOL!!

Cue the "we can't pay for this" drum beat in NYC.

Well...

Show me your budget and I'll show you your values.

I fully agree
i am not against machine-learning technologies as such, but i will always be opposed to the use of such technologies to generate simulations of the products of human thought and creativity. i will never willingly interact with a counterfeit human.

California Prop 50 passes in clear rebuke of Trump
The close of polls at 8 p.m. marked the culmination of a remarkably short election season launched by Gov. Gavin Newsom over the summer in response to Texas Republicans' gerrymandering.

It's hard to come to any other conclusion at this point
It’s getting harder and harder to avoid concluding that the people who keep voting for shitty people are shitty people themselves.

Accurate
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

When this mess is over we will need a 'moon shot'. That moon shot should be reinvesting in educating our young people.

PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR ALL!
I’m telling you guys. Renewing and reinvesting in public schools is going to be a winning issue in 2026

Unbridled cruelty.
“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.”
