Asbestos as a metaphor for where I suspect we might be going with LLM tools: rapid push to shove it into everything as a "modern solution," then an eventual "oh shit" walkback.

Since @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is so concerned about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social housing maybe he should address his own property tax bill of just $213 a year thanks to a sweetheart deal he supported when he served in the state Assembly that will last through 2032. nypost.com/2022/01/23/r...
Exclusive | Rep. Hakeem Jeffries pays just $200 in property taxes thanks to sweetheart subsidy law

Trump's DOJ requested that Maine turn over its entire state voting roll, voting records, and verification procedures.

Here's how Secretary of State Shenna Bellows responded:

Last night a bunch of Republicans in the House were saying how awful this bill was.

Only took a couple hours, some merch, and a few words from Donald Trump, and they’re lining up to rip away health care from 17 MILLION people.

I’m sadly not surprised — but I am still outraged.

Do you know the difference between “$2 trillion” and “$150 billion”? About $2 trillion.

Remember: pro-Trumpers now control the flow of information in America, so their next move will be trying to suppress news of Rep Rich McCormick being booed in GA (Elon already doing it on the other site) and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy being booed in CA.
U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick was peppered with boos and catcalls throughout a town hall meeting in Roswell late Thursday, as hundreds of critics jeered the Republican for backing President Donald Trump’s agenda during his first month in office. #gapol ajc.com/politics/mcc...

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥

Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Former President Jimmy Carter posthumously won his fourth Grammy Award for his audiobook "Last Sundays In Plains: A Centennial Celebration."

Carter was 100 years old when he was nominated, making him the oldest nominee – and now winner – in Grammy history.

Look, this is bad for democracy and all, no doubt. But I also can’t help but notice that NYT’s many years of pandering to Trump and shaping coverage in his favor failed to prevent them getting kicked out of the Pentagon press room.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

A few days ago someone said something to the effect of "it's time to monkeywrench" (which is exactly right to get).... And I'm looking at a lot of people and I'm realizing.... Folks truly do not see it.

George Bush signed the Born Alive Infants Protection Act into law in 2002.

TWO-THOUSAND-TWO.

The new Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act is a publicity stunt to make it seem like Democrats favor infanticide.

It's absolute horseshit.
