“Adults can still access social media through age checks like facial recognition, digital IDs, passports and credit cards.”

So there it is - this wasn’t about banning under 16s from social media, this was about giving EVERYONE a digital ID.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

If you can’t tax billionaires and trillionaire because “its unrealized gains until they cash out,” then stop letting them leverage that wealth for loans, as collateral, or as equity.

If it’s not real enough to tax, it shouldn’t be real enough to leverage.

This is why we say the system is rigged in favor of the super wealthy. Abolish billionaires, tax them out of existence, protect working people.

@skeptrune That might be the perfect analogy for token use… 🤣

@RachelCoyleOhio @HowThingsWorkOH No clue how these measures aren’t considered a de facto poll tax which makes them unconstitutional based on The 24th Amendment…

Cop uses Flock cameras & software to illegally track his mistress, his wife, his mistresses boyfriend, etc....

He is then suspended but keeps using the Flock (but I thought they were "secure" [they're not...]) system to unlawfully monitor these American citizens.

He's eventually pleaded to misdemeanors (not felonies?) and got "3 years of informal probation."

This is just one of thousands of cases where we know these systems are being unlawfully used - imagine how many times it's happening where we never hear about it...

To see if you or your loved ones are being tracked you can check HaveIBeenFlocked dot com - that site can only track one type of search and the State can search the system in many, many different ways that aren't accessible without a contract so it's incomplete.

Plan accordingly...

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

GOP Senator Thom Tillis slams Trump’s $1.8B slush fund:

“I think it’s stupid on stilts… Taxpayer dollars will compensate someone who assaulted a police officer, got convicted…and now we’re going to pay him for that? This is absurd!”

🚨 Today's Headline: "GitHub hit by a compromised VSCode extension"

Every defender is now scrambling to answer the critical question: Which VSCode extensions are installed across my MDE users, and is there any impact to their development environment?

For those running Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, here’s a KQLWizard query to instantly extract the full list of VSCode extensions executed by your users. (Answering to @IAMERICAbooted SOS Call 🫡)

Go hunt down those malicious extensions before they hunt you. 🧙‍♂️✨

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

This is exactly what guys like John Boehner and Paul Ryan used to say.

It was a false proposition then, and it’s false now.

A member of Congress’s team should be the American people. It’s those they represent, not a political party or a man.

And the partisans in Washington consistently work together against the interests of Americans everywhere.

The war isn’t between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between those who love liberty and those who love power.

MAGA, Inc., is just the same old political establishment—but now they use Trump as a shield for violating your rights and abandoning the Constitution.

@DevLeaderCa A lot of copilot for the convenience, but likely reevaluating and potentially reallocating those resources more broadly once the June transition hits at github

[Shawn Ryan @ShawnRyan762]

$32 million dollars and an entire administration mobilized to destroy one congressman.
His crime?
Demanding answers about Epstein class abuse networks, and refusing to let child predators hide behind political cover.
If that level of firepower doesn't tell you who's being protected, nothing will.
Go Massie!

Tucker Carlson completely corners Shark Tank host Kevin O'Leary regarding massive corporate welfare for AI data centers.

O'Leary openly admits that billionaire tech monopolies are explicitly forcing ordinary taxpayers to heavily subsidize their private investments.

[Morgan Trau @MorganTrau]

NOW: In Ohio's 10th District Court of Appeals, 300+ public schools are fighting to end the EdChoice private school voucher program.

The state has asked judges to overturn the majority of a trial ruling, one that deemed the program unconstitutional.

Update 5:05 PT: The attack has now expanded well beyond @TanStack and @Mistral.

373 malicious package-version entries across 169 npm package names, including @uipath, @squawk, @tallyui, @beproduct, and more.

The malware propagates by stealing your CI credentials and using them to publish new compromised versions.

🚨 CVE-2026-7482 in Ollama could let remote attackers leak process memory from more than 300,000 exposed servers using crafted GGUF files.

Separate unpatched Windows flaws enable persistent code execution through Ollama’s update mechanism.

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

In this letter, the CEO of Coinbase talks about non-technical teams shipping production code. Honestly, I don’t think he knows what he’s talking about.

Using AI agents makes it possible for teams who are not deeply technical in the syntax of a language to ship production code. But that team had better be very deeply technical in managing the structure and quality of the code that is produced.

What the agents give us is the ability to disengage from deep syntax. But they do not give us the ability to disengage from modular design and architecture. You still need to be deeply technical in those topics in order to produce good production quality code.

[Grady Booch @Grady_Booch]

I am one of those whose research points to the conclusion that the mind is computable.

Sentience is an exquisite consequence of the laws of physics. I see no evidence that requires the supernatural; I find panpsychism to be a god-of-the-gaps fantasy; I see no requirement for any quantum pixie dust.

What I do see is that evolution has led the cosmos through billions of years of experiments and mistakes and failures, eventually bringing forth artifacts with intelligence, with consciousness, with sentience, with life itself, by growing and combining very simple things then morphing them into extraordinarily complex ones. An underlying challenge in all this discourse, of course, is that these words represent ineffable concepts that human language strains at and fails to define crisply, and so we end up talking past one another, with emotion rather than rational and informed dialog.

That notwithstanding, it is the ultimate hubris to conclude that only we humans can be conscious or sentient: a multitude of creatures living among us possess those properties to varying degrees (and we already treat multitudes of them with questionable ethical consideration). It is hubris to demand that the intelligence and consciousness and sentience we experience is its only form. It is hubris for we humans to assert that at this moment are at the cusp of building sentient artifacts. My understanding and experience suggests that while some individual elements are within our understanding, there are many others we do not know that we even know we need to know. Moreover, there exists a problem of systems architecture at extreme scale, and that we are a long way from understanding how to engineer that.

But I predict that some day we shall.

This is not that day, nor is it a day in the lives of any of this present generation.

I expect that embodiment will be necessary (all contemporary approaches are deeply impoverished with regard to building things in and of this world, with sensing and acting now only a tiny fraction of what organics experience in all its noise and ambiguity). I posit that in this journey, we will co-evolve, compelled to reconsider what it means to be human.

I know that we will find value from the things we create, but I also know that there exist fundamental and unavoidable risks that will harm us. I fear most the wealthy and privileged few who assert they alone know the way and should be trusted to bring humanity to this new digital promised land; I fear the organizations and nations who seek to use these things for greater power and control.

I suspect that some strive to build artificial super intelligence (because they want to be gods) while others reject the possibility (because they cherish our uniqueness).

And yet, I am hopeful, and confident in the resilience of the human sprit to endure, and in the end, be better for the journey.

What an extraordinary time to be alive.

Canonical’s web infrastructure is under a sustained, cross-border attack and we are working to address it.

We will provide more information in our official channels as soon as we are able to.
