Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.
Trump says he’s meeting with “communist” Mamdani at the White House on Friday

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the trans people lost to violence in the U.S. this year.
Widespread poverty, homelessness, and discrimination makes trans people 4x more likely to experience violence than the average person.
We shouldn’t have to live in fear to be who we are.

Was at car dealership today. Noticed something funny. The normal cars had door poppers and overwhelming screens. The $120,000 car had physical door handles and tons of buttons.
May be obvious but I speculated years ago this would happen. Electronics cheaper than craftsmanship, because it is.

Sure. "The Grand Jury did not see the operative indictment" is the kind of fuckup where lawyers literally don't actually know what happens next because it SO fundamental a thing that it is LITERALLY possible nobody had even thought of this as a thing that could happen.

This is a pretty exhaustive takedown by Judge Ellis, going through DHS claims versus body cameras.
Also, fuck ICE.
Also, fuck ICE.
THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.
I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

The really fun part, every time the president says something utterly psychotic, is that right after all his little toadies and goblins go on camera to say that he didn't mean what he said and that you're stupid for thinking so, his next move is always to announce that he meant every word of it

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

Paradox of automation
edit
The paradox of automation says that the more efficient the automated system, the more crucial the human contribution of the operators. Humans are less involved, but their involvement becomes more critical. Lisanne Bainbridge, a cognitive psychologist, identified these issues notably in her widely cited paper "Ironies of Automation."[49] If an automated system has an error, it will multiply that error until it is fixed or shut down. This is where human operators come in.[50] A fatal example of this was Air France Flight 447, where a failure of automation put the pilots into a manual situation they were not prepared for.[51]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:byjjq67p7iau6qufzjmizpbn/bafkreie4ootzzyowpylsxjg7gxsp63iujxh4qceuuxxhwm63yrm2qffa4e@jpeg)

🙋🏻♀️ independent fact checker here!
Yes there are many freelance fact checkers and editors. But fact checking is not a priority for pubs. We were the first to be fired as the industry imploded
So there’s no desire to hire us, even independently
I work on books and am hired* paid directly by authors

Sort of a dumb question, but are there independent editors? Independent fact checkers?
And I get that the dollars (nonexistent) get split even more.
I know nothing about journalism other than as a consumer. Just wondering if theres a way to create collectives of independents with skills?

I worry about the emphasis on independent journalism we have right now because:
1) it’s not a sustainable business model to hold up an entire industry
2) they don’t have editors or fact checkers to provide checks and balances on their reporting
3) institutional journalism is still important

I think we lost some work because authors were afraid to show their weirdnesses, rough edges, to ask uncomfortable questions.
We can debate all day about who got cancelled and whether or not they deserved it, but one thing I have noticed is that a lot of queer YA written from ~2019-2022 has a kind of sterile after-school-special vibe where you can just tell they sanitized the fuck out of it to appease the Twitter hivemind
