The military and ICE doing "presence patrols" in your neighborhoods, the same kind of patrols the military routinely did during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, should scare the shit out of everyone
I've obtained a trove of leaked documents about today's federal crackdown on Los Angeles' MacArthur Park. One revelation is its codename: "Operation Excalibur"
Exclusive: Operation Excalibur in Los Angeles “Show of Presence”
Leaks from military's LA deployment reveal Coca Cola vs. Pepsi rivalry, sweaty guardsmen, and abject failure

interesting to see how much more coverage here we're getting of a chant at a music festival than the IDF being ordered to shoot and murder people in Gaza who are seeking aid!
IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.
Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.

Abolish ICE is the compromise position. We need to abolish the entire Department of Homeland Security, which was created after 9-11 with the express purpose of terrorizing immigrant communities, activists, and ordinary people in a sickening display of security theater that does not make anyone safer

f this Saudi plane thing had been reported by Deep Throat in a parking garage, or even showed up on a Times reporter's desk via an insider secret tip on Signal, journalists would cover it as a huge, shocking scandal.
one lesson the Trump folks have learned is that the media will almost never say someone is “corrupt” or did something “illegal” — they’ll only ever say that questions have been raised. which means that it makes more sense to do something blatantly illegal than to stop halfway

Key take away: less than 10% of people *MIGHT* use a chatbot (ie LLM) even if it errs.
As Bender expertly points out: 2nd and 3rd questions bleed together because LLMs halluncate and are not reliably factual.
Note the use of "might" in the first question. Phrasing of surveys matters, y'all.

Take the caption for this graph. If you look at the details, 39.3% chose "I would only use a tool like this if editors verified information in the answers to ensure it accurately represented the facts". Which means 88% reject chatbots.

she is useless and worse than useless
Earlier today, Gov. Hochul was asked whether she's considering using her power to remove Eric Adams as mayor.
" That does not feel like something that's very democratic," she said. "That's why I'm not going to go there."

Gillibrand on WNYC today said one reason they're all falling in line is that they get death threats.
cassidy changing his tune after what he said on the senate floor is what has upgraded my position from "they are being bribed" or "they are worried about primary challenges" to "they are worried about being murdered"
