It was incredible to see Chelsea Manning speak at @mozilla.org Festival yesterday.
When she was arrested in 2010 I helped organize to free her and raised tens of thousands of dollars for her legal fund.
To see her free and advocating for people-powered technology was immensely gratifying.

The vote was 53-47 in honor of the 5,347 fundraising emails the democrats are all about to send out
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

Tapper: Angus King said standing up to Donald Trump didn't work.
Sanders: Maybe Angus didn't notice the elections on Tuesday. I thought that they worked pretty well.

if compliance requires that AI generated diagnosis codes can’t be updated by humans then what you’re trying to build shouldn’t use AI
a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

This has Schumer personally written all over it. I’d bet a lot of money he asked for this to be added

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

At this point I’m rooting for us to miss the playoffs if only to have Beane and McDermott commit a big enough sin that even Terry can’t ignore
