People don’t understand that stripping the guardrails of regulation and oversight doesn’t just apply to like better business bureau type shit but also like on a practical level when I get into an elevator I expect that it has passed a safety inspection & that type of security will be gone soon

I mean, if this is the bet they're making they're probably correct, unfortunately
Do they just think there'll never be enough of a backlash for court packing to happen? What is the political theory of the case?

I’ve forgotten this sometimes but being able to discover something you like, curate it, and make time to enjoy it *is* intelligence, connecting with art is intelligence, empathy is intelligence, the way of the dullard is to find nothing meaningful in art except for a way to seem snidely clever

Wild that we just let execs say this shit without consequence
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.
I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

I had terrifying conversations with four former CDC officials, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, Dr. Debra Houry, Dr. Dan Jernigan, and Dr. Nikki Romanik, about the formerly prestigious public health agency.
All of them told me that any information coming out of the CDC can no longer be trusted.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

The sad truth is that voting for Hillary wouldn't have avoided where we're at societally. It just would have pushed the timeline a little further. Just like how voting for Biden didn't prevent this, it just pushed it all 4 years further.
Maybe more people should have voted for Hillary doe.

Please for the love of God please have actionable demands for these protests??? Like what are we trying to do here, do we want a resignation? Articles of impeachment? ANYTHING????
Shutting down the government is another authoritarian power grab. Trump’s Shutdown isn’t about budgets — it’s about his quest for absolute power.

This is actually the worst possible take any democrat could make right now. Post your thoughts and prayers and move on but like, don't do this shit
The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

one forgotten reason about why newsom blows ass is that time he vetoed a *unanimous* vote in the legislature that would've capped copays for insulin at $35. stated reason was because CA was going to start making its own insulin.
that veto was in 2023. CA still ain't making its own insulin.
