@uspolitics I bookmarked this page and it became my favorite news feed. I'm sorry to see it go, but I also support if you need to step away. Thanks for making it. Please consider Blue sky or just a RSS, of you're up for it (I tried using RSS from this profile, but it didn't work right.)
Rep. Jasmine Crockett has a few questions for #Democrats.
@nocontexttrek he used a contraction?!

Economics: "Humans only value things monetarily."
Sociology: "Uh, I don't..."
Economics: "Humans are always rational and value is calculated by complex internal calculus."
Sociology: "Uhhh, Psy, can you help?" Psychology: "That's not how humans..." Economics: "ALSO MY SYSTEM WILL GROW EXPONENTIALLY FOREVER!!"
Physics: *drops teacup*

"your algorithm can’t do anything that would be illegal if done by a real person" — I appreciate the FTC explicitly articulating this principle. https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2024/03/price-fixing-algorithm-still-price-fixing
Price fixing by algorithm is still price fixing

Landlords and property managers can’t collude on rental pricing. Using new technology to do it doesn’t change that antitrust fundamental. Regardless of the industry you’re in, if your business uses an algorithm to determine prices, a brief filed by the FTC and the Department of Justice offers a helpful guideline for antitrust compliance: your algorithm can’t do anything that would be illegal if done by a real person.

I took these photos last week, but it took me this long to narrow down my favorites at all! This is an adult male Anna’s #Hummingbird. We’re months into mating season for them now, and I am seeing the males a lot, singing their buzzy song and perching high and proud. It’s one time of year they don’t seem as grumpy to me :)
