For some reason this piece from February has a bunch of people retweeting it, can anyone tell me why
Engineer is credit to team. An engineer who cycles, enjoys cycling, building robots, and doing fun things. Environmentalist, enjoyer of plants, tinkering, 3D printing, welding, machining, and building cool stuff.

SpongeBob was always correct about Texas
Fixed the movie was pretty good, a bit raunchy and odd, the dog buttholes and scrotums were weird. But the plot was good, the animation was classic Genndy,you could particularly see it on the cat scene shots. The cast was good. Some jokes were odd. But overall it was a good movie.

This is only if the induction stoves are actually high quality ones that cost more. The ones landlords will install in the housing most people will be forced to live in because of the artificially constrained housing market by boomers wonât be good enough to actually cook as well as gas stoves.
Bill Cassidy should resign in disgrace.
Wrong approach, the right thing to do is fire and primary the do nothing leadership and members who do nothing but write the most lazy âharshly worded lettersâ and replace them with people who will actually pull every procedural lever they have to stop fascism.
the self-driving stuff is arguably one of the deadliest product misrepresentation scandals I can remember, and NHTSA has had its head up its ass across three administrations
U.S. regulators have the structural integrity of a grade school paper mache art project
Who wants to start the loop of jingling keys and fart noises miracle media empire that saves the country from fascism with me?
The problem is that most media gets bought out by oligarchs who turn it into their own personal propaganda machines to get people to vote for corrupt politicians to let them loot the public. And that the media is full of far right nutjobs posing as democrats. You donât win without building
Republicans literally stole your Medicare, Medicaid, cancer research, nasa, weather forecasting, hurricane tracking, research, and SNAP tax dollars and gave it to their rich oligarch sugar daddies through taxes and government contracts. Shown in a graph.
If we ruin "AI" for investors, if we help destroy any demand for their product, then so many things will be better for everyone.
techcrunch.com/2025/08/28/t... There have been numerous breaches at all the Credit Reporting Cos, when will they be held accountable for their sloppy security? "TransUnion confirmed that the stolen personal information includes customersâ names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers."

Really wish BIA's in this city would read this and try, like try even a little, to believe the facts if the matter: Bike lanes are good for small businesses. #yycbike #yyccc www.businessinsider.com/bike-lanes-g...
Donât bother responding to the troll. Heâs just another far right nutjob
What was interesting about writing this post was I didn't know how to fact check it. Five years ago I would have typed "Mariners roster by age" into Google. Today I got an mix of wrong AI summary, followed by links to sites that ranged from out-of-date and wrong, to AI slop and wrong, to correct.
Also, are there any white papers on it?
How end to end is it? Does it just recognize stuff you tell it to pick up?
so like robot death panels is that what we're doing

They should be jailed for crimes against humanity when we finally take back power. They must be held legally and financially responsible for their actions.
This is all about their stupid egos, they donât care how many lives they destroy and how much suffering they cause, as long as they get to force their eugenics on everyone, thatâs all they care about.
They know their actions will get people sick and suffer permanent damage to their health and permanently degrade their quality of life. they know theyâre going to cause people to die of vaccine preventable illnesses. They donât care. They just want their vengeance on the medical establishment.
"Just append -ai to your search" is the "you're prompting it wrong" of Google stans. 1) It's a broad-audience consumer technology. It shouldn't suck by default. 2) Appending -ai to your search doesn't keep Google from returning third party AI slop in the search results.
The eugenics pushing brain worm addled goblin man should be immediately fired along with all of his evil sidekicks running the NIH and FDA and his goons on the ACIP. All of them should be held legally and financially responsible for the lives their actions will take. They deserve prison time.
Robert Kennedy Jr. and his entire cadre of cranks and anti-vaxxers need to be flushed out of government.

If this guy appears in the USA and he is not extradited to Canadian authorities on request it would be in violation of the Bilateral Extradition Treaty signed in 1976 between Canada and the USA and would start a new phase of this quiet conflict.
I can't even screenshot it--the entire letter is worth a full read. And I will say it again--our state public health agencies really need to step up now & fight against RFKJ's harmful extremist policies: open.substack.com/pub/simonwdc...
Pushing out top officials. Firing hundreds of lifelong public health experts. Trying to slash the CDCâs budget by billions. How is this âMaking America Healthy Againâ?

Itâs so sad that her original owner couldnât afford to take care of her. I canât imagine being at the end of your life and having to give up a love one like that and face death without them.
Scotus decided to illegally unconstitutionally declare that all of the constitutional protections bureaucrats have donât count unless itâs the people who handle the money. They didnât care that. They opened up the Pandoraâs box complete and total economic destruction. They just wanted project 2025
At least this clarifies that the attempt to sack Lisa Cook was not for 'cause'.
If you didnât understand how bad itâs gotten in the game industry particularly after Microsoftâs acquisition spree, yet felt the need to make a comment so obviously incorrect yet confident based on nothing but pure vibes. Then Iâm not sure thereâs much I can do for you.
If Microsoft actually wants to make more halo worthwhile, they need to fully commit to it. Not just gobble up studios then destroy them because they spent too much buying them in the first place with no plans to actually do anything with them.
Passion and a vision alone doesnât a good game make. 343 has been decimated, much of the engine development and beyond was outsourced to contractors. Now the studio was rebranded and is being rebuilt as Halo Studios. The bungie crew already knew what would happen to 343.
343 was actually borne out of the development for a canceled game, a separate team not made up of bungie employees.
Thereâs actually a very good reason why they didnât join up and it goes back to how Microsoft insiders became the studio managers for bungie in their Microsoft days, then deliberately screwed then out of their shares and got rid of them. There was also terrible crunch during halo 2 development.
AI is revolutionizing lies and disinformation.
This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
To explain: 1. OpenAI has to convert to a for profit by end of year or SoftBank cuts their funding in half, effectively reducing their next check size from $20bn+ to $700m 2. Microsoft/oAI's negotiations are holding it up, oAI wants a bunch of concessions, MSFT doesn't care, owns their IP anyway
hell yeah let's go
The museum of âstuff definitely not stolen from people we mass murdered and enslaved. Weâre totally the good guys, we swear, please donât read a history book.â
Itâs because âthink of the childrenâ is just an excuse often used by fascists to deprive people of their civil rights like gay marriage, protection from discrimination, and right to privacy in order to build a surveillance state.
Letâs take it nationwide!

I was the executive director of U.S. Open Data, a non-profit that I created at the behest of the Obama White House. I worked as one of the nation's leading experts in open data. Putting open data on the blockchain is a profoundly stupid idea that fails nearly every test of good open data.
All #Authors should file a claim and destroy the theft powered industry that stole your hard work
Oh well. I am making my claim and every author should.
Letâs recap: ~3 weeks ago, a gunman, who believed the COVID vaccines were killing people, shot up CDC. Since then⌠- Kennedy criticized the agencyâs COVID response. - NIH director Bhattacharya attacked mRNA platform. - FDA restricted COVID vaccine access - Top scientists are ousted at CDC
Theyâll be linked to him forever

Sandwich guy for for governor of Virginia
The prosecutor couldnât cut the mustard, he focaccia nobody likes fascism on their hoagie.
The jury relished the decision to grant justice with extra mayo to the salami slinger. The prosecutor couldnât ketchup, nor could he cut the mustard.
The meat inside the sandwich determines how hard it is to indict it. Ham: easy Salami: hard Angus beef: impossible
If subway was smart theyâd find a way to turn this into a massive sales surge. The âunindictableâ sub The sailing salami sub The flying focaccia sub The aerodynamically streamlined sub The kinetic kielbasa sub They should make the guy the new spokesperson. They could do a whole ad on it.
I think I found a loophole in their patents. Stay tuned, this could turn into a fun little project. Itâs basically just a dyno. Still, I know how to fully automate it. I even know how Iâll build it, ag least at the concept, pre detailed electrical schematic level.
I more sane society would mandate pedestrian crash safety tests and standards which should force automakers to build trucks with lower impact centers.
Thatâs still not a a huge dent in the massive price of trucks. Trucks wonât go away, theyâve spent millions on propaganda to make the oversized and overpriced trucks that arenât more capable an over represented sales category.
See, now thatâs an idea I wish I thought of! Though itâs probably not too late to launch a competitor product with different technology
âThe Secretary of HHS is a dangerous psychopath with no understanding of medicine at allâ - paraphrasing CDC experts
Itâs not that sedans âdidnât sellâ but that ford and GM heavily financed SUVs to make them seem cheaper despite longer payments. Now car debt is at an all time high. Itâs all thanks to the chicken tariff and the light truck emissions exception.
They did, in a not unprecedented but incredibly short sighted move. They still make sedans abroad. But just like how back in 2008 they pivoted to focusing mostly on sedans, theyâre doing the same thing now but with electric vehicles. They keep learning the same lesson.
Where do you think we got our rocket and nuclear scientists from in the 40s? Immigration. NatSec directly benefits from immigration via research.
I think your disagreement is mostly due to a misunderstanding of how the state and federal American legal system works. States enforce state laws. The federal government does not control enforcement of state laws
State medical laws arenât magic, theyâre enforced laws by competent attorneys general. This is about as cut and dry as it gets. Insurers are forced to abide by state laws by state attorneys general. The laws being ignored are federal civil rights laws which are DOJ enforced. Major difference.
Meanwhile GM and Ford are finally working on more compact, not stupidly expensive and overly heavy, electric vehicles that the market has wanted for ages after building expensive overweight pedestrian obliterators didnât sell well.
Itâs important to note that rivian is run by comically incompetent people. They still canât get their production issues ironed out, they canât retain top talent, theyâre way behind other automakers and China. No one should take anything their CEO says seriously.
Susan Collins hasnât held a town hall in 20 years. She needs to be voted out of office.
This dog deserves a medal
Thereâs a difference between the companies that would violate the state laws being prosecuted by state attorneys general and the president being prosecuted for violating other laws.
We need imitation because without it, weâd be much less innovative and prosperous as a nation. Immigrants are far more likely to start new businesses and have brought many of our greatest innovations. They are a critical cornerstone of American prosperity.
We need immigration because tons of industries, especially agriculture and construction are extremely reliant on it. Without affordable housing via zoning reform and new construction, the economy will continue to stagnate and people will suffer on a massive scale.
Immigration is a national security issue since itâs what has kept our technological and economic edge. Itâs what enables intelligence officials to develop sources, the until recently brain and talent magnet of our research infrastructure has powered our prosperity. Without it, we will fall behind.
Again, thereâs a huge difference between what is federally prosecutable vs state prosecutable. Medical laws are state prosecutable, the exchanges are regulated through both federal and state agencies. Youâre citing civil rights law, most of the laws heâs broken are federal and enforced by the doj.
He canât do shit unless Congress votes to do it, and theyâre already scrambling in vain to try and gerrymander their way to a slim chance of holding the majority. Special election performance in the deepest of red states has indicated their majority days are numbered.
They still canât pull off a repeal and have still failed every time to do it.
State attorneys general, the AMA, etc
My latest just out in VACCINE @sciencedirect.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
On the same day the FDA restricted access to COVID vaccines, the CDC director was sacked and top CDC scientists are resigning. And itâs barely been two weeks since an antivax conspiracy theorist fired 180 bullets at CDC headquarters. None of this is making America healthier. What a disaster.
Right but protected classes is about discrimination law outside of health insurance. The ACA laws currently explicitly prohibit discrimination based on preexisting conditions. Unless scotus strikes that down it remains the law of the land.
đ
Canât states allow pharmacies to give people shots based on other agency or professional organization approvals like the AMA? If they do, then will insurance be forced to cover it as preventative medicine?
đ
Last I checked preexisting conditions were not allowed to be discriminated against. Why does this list change that?
Today according to court documents, a good prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich, but they cannot indict biologically powered kinetic salami sub projectile propulsion systems integrated into hop sapiens.
I am autonomous vehicle anxious for this reason.
Along with everything that's led up to this point, this does not bode well for science in the US. Whatever vaccine and/or autism disinformation JFK Jr is about to release must be more vile than anyone could have had nightmares about.
i think i'm still the only person to note that the authors of the 95/5 paper are *cryptocurrency grifters* who want to sell you their Web3 solution to this "problem" i believe it warrants wider discussion when this paper is brought up bsky.app/profile/davi...
Producing deepfakes is banned in a number of states too. The guy is making a stupid legal argument at best.
They absolutely can ban using it commercially. The theft company is operating a giant grift. If companies canât grift more money, theyâll stop pushing it all so hard and burning the planet to create bullshit generators. The whole âwe canât ban b/c tech company said soâ is dumb.
