Senate dems: The holidays are coming! We’ll see what the House wants to do, but we’d like to give a significant number of you the gift of uninsurance for Christmas!

The calculus on all that is wildly stupid. Would healthcare subsidies be worth the shutdown’s impact on government workers and SNAP recipients? Maybe. Reasonable people can disagree. Is what we get in the deal worth the shutdown’s impacts? Unambiguous no.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

I don’t get why people seem so certain they know how particular candidates won Tuesday. I’m not a political science person but it seems to me that there’s no evidence today whether someone won because of their social media or their door knocking or their economic message or whatever. Right?

So I’m working with narrative suicide death data right now at work and just have to say:
If you own guns and think your family members, including children, don’t know how to get ahold of them… consider the possibility that you’re wrong. Even if they’re in a safe.

These were the obsequious headlines a Republican got for winning a race by less than 2%. Spanberger won by 15 tonight. The coverage should be absolutely apocalyptic for Rs tomorrow, but it largely wont be bc political news media sees Rs as their friends & allies & would never trash them like that
We damn well better get a blizzard of "bad news for Republicans" pieces tomorrow.

My flaming hot take for the day:
Covering election returns like a horse race is bad. When the polls close, someone either won or lost. The breathless, “so-and-so just pulled ahead,” coverage is meaningless and makes ignorant people vulnerable to election manipulation lies.

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

This reaction and the article are why I think the casual use of the term ‘AI’ to mean only generative artificial intelligence is a huge problem.
Probably all of us use AI (by its actual definition) daily, most obviously through machine learning models that curate our social media feeds.
