If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

ICE kidnapped a man in Hillsboro, OR over a week ago and he’s still detained. They know they got the wrong “Victor Cruz” and that his papers were all in order. Yet they are still holding him in jail. Just a blatant abuse of power. www.kgw.com/article/news...
'He willingly got out of his truck and presented his papers': ICE agents seeking different man detain Hillsboro grandfather, family says
Originally from Mexico, Victor Cruz has lived in Hillsboro for nearly three decades. Last week, masked agents disregarded his legal status and detained him anyway.

I don’t know what needs to happen to get it through peoples skulls that ICE is not beholden to anyone but the president and his inner circle. Wealthy, police, white. They do not give a shit!!
A friend recently told me that they didn’t think ICE would deploy tear gas in well to do neighborhoods with a high density of white people. I understood their thinking, but disagreed. Today, they gassed Lakeview. Nothing is off limits to these people.

the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.
Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

Finally saw the new Superman, my first superhero movie since Black Panther iirc. And I actually liked it! Best Superman since the original
Nicholas Hoult was a good Luthor but imo the people who say he was the best are nuts. Gene Hackman still owns that role the way Heath Ledger owns the Joker.

The unifying theory of all American conservatives is that they all demand that you be their friends at gunpoint, and tell them how handsome and special they are
The conservative project always makes much more sense when you realize it's just run by upper middle class American christian nationalist who are basically completely fine in material position but furious the entire country doesn't bow to their weird cultural preferences.

CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.

it does not necessarily mean this though, because the dominant way people end up on Wikipedia is through Google, and Google has loaded the top of all of its search results with AI-mediated info taken from Wikipedia. This does not mean consumers prefer it this way, the choice has been made for them
AI is separating the production and consumption of information. If direct access to Wikipedia is dropping that suggests information consumers find AI mediated consumption more useful. This will impact the production of information; including the economic model
So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers
