Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.

I feel a special kind of sorrow and anger about events and communities that claim to be about liberation—queer, trans, BIPOC, disabled, etc—and yet don’t require n95s, implement clean air practices, etc.
I dream of a world in which the guiding principle of “we keep each other safe” is true.

When a disabled person expresses concerns over assisted dying legislation, please listen to them.
Don’t speak over them.
Don’t assume they want to deny you the right to die.
We’re fighting for our right to live.
We’re fighting fascism & eugenics.
Assisted Dying policies will always target us.

one thing that sunk only more fully in, being sick with covid again, is how people position those of us who never stopped masking as having some weird individual vibes-based fear, when the reality is the end of what *community-level* covid prevention

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

The cashier at Target should be able to work full-time and afford their bills with a little left over. That’s not radical.

Interesting 180° difference in how the Illinois AG handles wage theft versus, say, “organized retail theft,” which includes a multi-agency “task force,” $5 million per year to cops for spy tools, a PR machine, & tons of low-level arrests for property crimes, while biz owners stiff workers & walk.
We observed lawyers from the Illinois Attorney General’s Office who showed up to wage theft court hearings unprepared. Since 1993, more than 300 cases were initially dismissed because no one from the Attorney General’s Office showed up at all. (with @crainschicago.bsky.social) buff.ly/WJHXcax

by far the funniest use case for AI is “I use it for powerpoints because I hate making them and nobody looks at them” because it kinda sounds like the real workflow savings would be to stop making powerpoints

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Excluding costs, the biggest impediment to AI adoption in game dev is that the output quality sucks ass and it makes games worse. AI adopters need everyone to use it so that people lower their standards and become more okay with buying garbage
I’ve been in game dev for 26 years and I can’t remember any other time where a specific tech was being insistently and persistently pushed on devs as a group in the public sphere.
Why would it? Cui bono? Why would any given dev have an interest in other devs using tech they don’t have a stake in?

My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore

What strikes me about these Epstein materials - there are really no surprises. The 1000+ victims have already named all these men.
Even Bill Gates. His wife publicly said she divorced him because of his relationship with Epstein.
We just don't believe women, systemically.

the core economic divide is people for whom a 0-600$ jump in aca prices is a loss of like 950% of disposable income and people for whom the aca price jumped 450 to 600 and represenets 2% of total monthly income and truly do not understand how anyone could care about this

You know, some days I sit and think about how absolutely wild it is that we've built a society where we don't provide a place for people to even sleep at night without having to pay for it, and that we've somehow made it seem like that's normal.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
