Some new followers so re-introducing myself on the timeline. I’m a landscape and street photographer from SEA now living in LA. I studied Int’l Human Rights at @UW and cut my teeth at @amazon and @EdelmanPR. I hope my visual work brings you closer to nature. peace and love y’all

New: Investigators found that leaders of a prison gang in Puerto Rico were selling inmates drugs in exchange for voting for Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón, a longtime Republican. After Trump’s election, prosecutors were told not to pursue charges. propub.li/4dp615e

Isn’t it kind of telling on yourself that the second SCOTUS guts the Voting Rights Act and Alito claims “we’ve moved past racism” the VERY FIRST thing that happens is that all of the Southern States, of ALL places, rushes to eliminate any of their majority Black districts

@VanLathan Damn right

One of the greatest talents in any sport any where

@MinuteNerdNews Meanwhile they’re an incredibly aspirational couple.

There’s a subsection of popular YouTubers finding out George Lucas’ wife is black for the first time with this video and crashing the fuck out on their podcast.

@fiadhoe Needs oxygen to explode and there’s not any inside the pig.

what happens if the piping has a flashback does the cow just fucking explode

@TheStatsRobot There’s gotta be a Florida party that sues

Wait. So California and Virginia has weeks of legislative crap, A WHOLE GOD DAMN ELECTION EACH, and Floridian Authoritarians just introduce and make law a new gerrymander explicitly against their constitution in a week?

@mcuban Mark how familiar are you with Elastic

I’m coming to the conclusion that the biggest challenge for Enterprise AI, and AI in general , as of now, is that it’s still impossible to make sure that everyone gets the same answer to the same question, every time. Which is a great response to the doomers. AI doesn’t know the consequences of its output. Judgement and the ability to challenge AI output is becoming increasingly necessary, and valuable. Which makes domain knowledge more valuable by the second. Am I wrong ?

Cruz responds to Trump's JFK assassination claims at a press conference in Indiana: "This man is a pathological liar... a narcissist at a level I don't think this country has ever seen... he's utterly amoral"

The hidden force:

Ask Jeeves really fumbled the AI branding opportunity

AAAAAAND THE WAITRESS IS PRACTICING POLITICS

No way man

@THEL0VESPACE A'ight heard. See you guys weeks four and ten.

New Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love on former teammate Jadarian Price going to Seattle: “I feel bad for him. You like [Seattle]? You think Seattle’s cool? I mean I never heard anybody say ‘I’m going to [Seattle] for vacation.’ What’s so good about Seattle?”

@NFL_DovKleiman I have a very hard time believing that man is 181.

Insane: Jon Gruden’s son and Raiders strength and conditioning coach Deuce broke the powerlifting record last night for his weight class in Las Vegas. Deuce is 5'6" and weighs 181 pounds. He won with a 483-pound bench press. 🤯🤯🤯

I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna be nicer about this. Neocon boomers are mortgaging my generations future by amassing trillions in debt, turning America into a pariah on the global stage, and getting our troops killed for another failing war. I have to watch these neocons lie about the state of this war on TV every single day. Then, the moment I push back and assertively ask, “hey, what’s the actual goal here?” I have a legion of neocon boomers telling me I should know my place. Or I should wait my turn to talk with the grown ups. Fuck that, genuinely. I’m not claiming to have all of the answers or be all knowing. But young people deserve a seat at the table to fight for our interests as well. 95% of media is made up of boomers in suits who created these problems, and being nicer isn’t going to fix them.

I didn’t love the mayor’s flip comment, but the current hyperventilating right-wing portrait of Seattle on this site as a total backwater shithole where no business (or sane person) would ever want to be if it wasn’t for the low taxes on rich people is pretty funny. Last time I checked, Seattle is: (a) home to two of the seven biggest global tech giants (well, technically Microsoft is across the lake); (b) the site of one of the country’s top 5 (and globally, top 10) public research universities; (c) the most educated big blue city in the US, where 70 percent of residents over the age of 25 have a bachelor’s degree, and one of the three most literate; (d) the third most affluent blue city in America, with a (still) fast rising median household income; (e) a city that, after being the fastest growing big city in America in the 2010s, continues to grow - our population growth is on track to make us bigger than San Francisco before the end of the decade; (f) blessed with a temperate climate where it rarely gets very cold or hot and with a breathtakingly beautiful Puget Sound landscape where mountains, ocean and islands are near at hand (the crappy weather claim is the funniest one of all - have any of these people ever spent a summer in the Pacific NW?); (g) in close proximity to three of the US’ 63 national parks, which together draw millions on annual visitors; (h) ranked just this year as the most livable city in the US based on an analysis of six criteria: quality of life, safety, healthcare access, disposable income, air quality and unemployment rates. Oh, I could go on, but tell me again how our dark, damp winters are going to be the end of us all now that we’ve added a relatively modest tax on very high earners.

What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.

When Trump removed US Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her position, she was given 3 hours notice to vacate Quarter 1, the Coast Guard Commandant’s waterfront residence — where Kristi Noem continues to live rent free despite being fired 2 months ago.

We did not cancel elections during the Civil War. We did not cancel elections for World War II. We did not cancel elections for COVID. But the Louisiana Governor sees the opportunity to gerrymander Black members out of their seats and… STATE OF EMERGENCY: ELECTION CANCELLED

@jickoeury @TSgooper @TmrwNevrComes Valid honestly
