For what’s worth: As a liberal arts school graduate, folks were making fun of my education as useless long before Twitter took off.
And they were, of course, always hilariously wrong: I use my education every dang day.

This. I’m 47. I went to a pretty good university imo and got a “liberal arts education”. I cannot tell you the amount of people who have derided that education as “useless” over the years, even prior to social media.

Spoke to ABC about Nancy Mace’s bathroom bigotry on the Hill.
When we’re talking about discrimination, some rules need to be broken.
Trans folks aren't the threat; we’re under threat.

It is very important work to report on the news, and I am grateful to reporters still doing that. That said I would prefer to read it in private at my own pace and without group discussion that would be disturbed by my deep sighs and other sounds thank you

The year is 2027 and after exhausting its appeals Google loses and has to sell Chrome to a DOJ-approved owner. As defined in the suit, "Chrome" includes all backend systems essential to the browser. This means Sync.

FWIW at this point I am more convinced than ever that the Tim Walz "These people are weird and they are bad neighbors who won't mind their own damned business, now let's get back to how we can make things better" would have worked and I don't know why they didn't run with it.

This irks me to no end. Do NOT talk about my people if you will reduce us only to needing us to keep things cheap! That is NOT being an ally. That’s just willing to sacrifice us for capitalism.
Worse, it reduces mass deportation to a problem for capitalism. Instead of neighbors, friends and family members we are talking about the price of cereal.
Some liberal/resist types go so far it’s blatantly racist w/stereotypes about needing immigrants to cut the grass and clean the toilets.

Resist the temptation to:
1) Believe no criticisms ever affect Trump’s popularity. It’s not true.
2) Think it’s not worth doing anything that won’t alone stop the Trump administration.

Alabama is planning to execute another man, Carey Dale Grayson, with nitrogen gas today. In allowing the execution to go forward, the courts have largely relied on the accounts of state officials — accounts that stunningly contradict what I and other media witnesses saw during Miller's execution.
In the hours before Alabama executed Alan Miller with nitrogen gas last month, Miller said he wanted to die quickly & peacefully, like the state had promised he would.
Yet I & other witnesses would later watch as he writhed & gasped for air in his final moments.

The state said Alan Miller’s execution by lethal gas would be “more humane.” He writhed and gasped for air in his final moments.

It's a good advert for the product because we are all talking about it ofc. But the human-in-the-loop aspect of ai is very underappreciated. Would this be a good way of producing it if the usual methods were impossible? Maybe. Is cheaper or quicker, or can be done without human help? Maybe not.
There's something I need people to understand.
The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.
The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

The real trap here is that the Republicans have made defending civil rights seem like a frivolous thing and a whole lot of liberals are falling in line. Even if it was a culture war, so what? This would be a war worth fighting. What are we even doing here, people? Get it together.

Up until now, as clergy, if I have ever had to discuss a church bathroom it was either because something was broken, or something was a truly unholy mess.
I never thought I would say this, but I dearly hope that streak continues.

Every person in my congregation is the gender they say they are. They use the bathroom that's right for them. Period. This isn't hard, people.
And don't go asking those questions about people you don't know. It makes you look like a bigot or a weirdo.
