@CaroltheCrone ever since the diffusion models started not sucking I’ve been sending examples to my family with commentary “this is ai, beware of what you see now!” Having some confidence a photo was real was a nice run while we had it. Looking for the artifacts is temporary as the issues will be resolved. Now we go back to before times (before any of us were born) when critical thinking was essential and everything could be fabricated. I hope we make it through this transition period quickly.

Bring back the 91% top incremental tax rate. Make American government great again.

@pluralistic Cory Doctorow is a singular voice at this moment in time. I’ll read anything and everything he publishes. And you should too. This end to the “golden era” of the tech worker was always inevitable. And I know a lot of people who will suffer because of it.

When the midterms come, understand this:

The GOP no longer sees losing as legitimate.

If they lose, they'll claim fraud.

If they win, they'll claim mandate.

But there’s no version where they quietly accept defeat.

The Midterms Are Coming. The GOP Is Going to Cheat.

What the GOP is planning for 2026 and 2028 makes 2020 look quaint.

Eight! Holy shit. You’re all like Lech Wałęsa up in there. Such bravery!

Schumer on the Democratic response to Trump's shakedown of Harvard: "We sent him a very strong letter just the other day asking eight very strong questions."

Murderer Phoenix Ikner arrested alive reminded me:
-Payton Gendron murders 10—arrested alive
-Nikolas Cruz murders 17—arrested alive
-Dylan Roof murders 9—arrested alive
-Patrick Crusius murders 23—arrested alive

Breonna Taylor, Philando Castile, Tamir Rice, Aiyana Jones: Innocent—murdered by cops

The system isn't broken—it was built this way.

Donald Trump has claimed, “Ukraine hasn’t got the cards”, insinuating a likely Ukrainian defeat. But the Ukraine war is slowly turning in Ukraine’s favor, so why is Trump lying about Ukraine?

This is one of the simplest and at the same time smartest things I've ever printed: a tweezer for multimeter probes so you can use them one-handed. Kudos 👌

(P.S. I should clarify that this is not my own design, just found it really clever and worth sharing.)
