Fully aware the chaos of US politics is engineered to keep everyone obsessively feeding the drama machine, but wow does it make being online feel like punishment.

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

The Trump administration is holding people in inhumane conditions in California's largest immigrant detention center.

We sued this administration to challenge these abusive and harmful practices.

ICYMI: Rep. Adelita Grijalva came out swinging! 🔥🔥🔥

She is not a fan of Mike Johnson's delay tactics.

As an expert in the philosophical, social, & historical implications of technology allow me to explicate how self-referentially arguing that, in spite of its harms, "AI" is necessary because it will be necessary thus a) amounts to a continual cock gargling of the "AI" industry & b) is bad news bears

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) just signed the discharge petition to force a vote on making the DOJ release all of its Jeffrey Epstein files.

She was the 218th signature, which means the petition is now frozen and no member can remove their name.

We’ve built two justice systems in the US—one that bends over backward to shield the wealthy and powerful, and another that comes down hard and fast on the poor and marginalized. Trump and Epstein show that it’s easier to squeeze a rich man through the eye of a needle than to see one sent to prison.
The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

It has been one helluva year at the CDC

1. Gunman shot 150 bullets

2. Susan Monarez fired b/c she wouldn't sign off on unethical vaccine policies

3. Her replacement Jim O 'Neill posts mug shots of "illegal aliens" stealing healthcare instead of being a leader.

I don't want to know what's next.

Our leading news organizations turned a cache of ultimately-innocuous emails into a scandal-coded weeklong series of front page stories leading into the 2016 election. If they do not cover the "emails from notorious pedophile implication the President" emails with the same fervor, it's curious!

I have more than one degree in mathematics. I do math and math-adjacent stuff for a living.

This is literally one of the largest problems in the math profession, as well as cryptography. The number of bad actors and outright assholes who get a pass because of published results astonishes me daily.
I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here
