This is terrifying for anyone on or applying for Social Security or food stamps. Don't laugh, y'all, this is NOT pointless.
BREAKING: The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

What can you do today? Come to terms with the fact that both the NYT and the Wash Post have sold out and are no longer the cutting edge, fact-based news outlets they once were. Say goodbye and move on to independent media. #boycott #media #propaganda
This month alone the NYT has:
•Condemned all women
•Whitewashed child rape
•Pushed deadly regime change
Please cancel them. Do not support their horrific bile. Instead, support voices committed to actual justice. My fact driven human rights newsletter has no paywall: www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

BREAKING: Book banning extremist group “Moms For Liberty” LOST ALL 31 of their races.
Moms for Liberty is now 0-59 in contested school board races since 2023.
This is what happens when communities have had enough and say NO to book bans!

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

i really want everyone to read this because Dems are not going to win by default. new Republicans will run and they’ll say the right things to win. people will get fooled or maybe just agree.
Dems need real candidates up and down the ticket or we never escape this mess.

At a town hall in PA-10 and I’ve never heard people so angry. Our Rep is the worm Scott Perry who deserves a dump truck of shit on him. But the people here are also furious that the Dem currently running against him is Janelle Stelson — seen as a worthless pawn of the rich.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

some interesting historical context re: stories of "chatGPT-induced psychosis" is that when the radio and telephone were invented, there were similar reactions — some people believed they could tune their radio to the frequencies of heaven or received instructions from the dead via the telephone
