Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago.
Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties
If you are alarmed by the rise of these attacks on the open internet and what it’s doing to destroy platforms you love, @eff.org is fighting to keep the internet open and stop horrible ideas like identification checks. You can support that vital work here: eff.org/anil
The state of Florida came in overnight and painted over the Pulse Memorial site crosswalk in Orlando. This crosswalk abided by the state’s laws and was originally installed by them. To be clear, the state surreptitiously painted over this memorial at night against the city’s wishes. Cowards.
If the earth was completely smooth (like a marble), how far underwater would everyone be? I'm sure this is a science/math problem that is easily solvable by someone.
i understand why the modern tech press sucks so bad because i got started in that field around 2009-10. It was like freebasing techno-optimism. Every month new tools were announced and every year they got better at doing stuff you actually wanted them doing.
Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"
I wonder what states like Oregon, who only do mail in voting, will be able to do in response to this in time for the midterms. Of course, that's the point.
Awful: Trump just threatened to try to ban mail voting by executive order. What's telling is he openly linked this to the midterms, showing he will abuse presidential power in every way he can to rig them.
Friendly reminder that AI data centers are working overtime to help cook the planet. If the fires are scaring you— start using ‘-AI’ at the end of all Google searches to cut out any AI response to your query. Refusal is possible & responsible.
I refuse to believe anyone in this demographic (of which I am) who is at least slightly aware of current lingo (of which I sometimes am) would really crave nomenclature which will absolutely be read as "Generation Gooner"
Markwayne Mullin: "I'm not joking when I say this. I drive around Washington DC in my Jeep - yes, I drive myself - & I don't buckle up. The reason I don't buckle up - people can say whatever they want - is because of carjacking. I don't want to be stuck in my vehicle when I need to exit in a hurry."
... have any of you ever added a total rando to a group chat, whether in Signal or any other messaging app? i'm begging you to tell me. I really want to hear how that happened (and what went down after)
When Trump announced his law enforcement actions in D.C., he also singled out a slew of other Democratic cities. The mayors of Baltimore, LA, Oakland, Chicago and New York say crime is down.
I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.
Honestly, with hindsight, Radcliffe, Watson and Grint's public statements where they sided with trans people, expressed their support with no caveats, and willingly blew up any chances at future ties to the franchise has only gotten more and more noteworthy as more actors are revealed to be cowards
Something I wish I would have said in the episode is that men need this advice far more than women! The vast majority of dating advice for men is how to trick women showing signs of disinterest into sex when it should be about not letting rejection turn you into a whiny little baby.
The Just Dance 2026 video from the Nintendo Direct looks like the sort of video you would see in a dystopian future world in a Ncuti-era Dr Who episode www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kTZ...
