“I would do it again” about an operation that accidentally killed 160 schoolgirls is exactly why Hegseth isn’t fit to lead our military.

This is ridiculous lol, evading AI usage for development (coding specifically) is just bottlenecking the project arbitrarily

Big Walk developers admit to limited AI use after IGF jurors refuse to vote for AI-made games

19 jurors at the 2027 Indie Games Festival awards have said they will not vote for games that use gen AI in any capacity, including coding.

Shortly after, House House confirmed that Big Walk used AI chatbots during the final stages of development to help solve technical problems and bugs.

The studio estimates that well under 0.1% of the game’s code involved AI assistance. One solution even resulted in around 10 lines of modified code in Unity.

Actually sad we won't be getting anymore "Is it canon with James Gunn, James Gunn's wife and James Gunn's friend" episodes considering how immensely fucking stupid and funny it was.

but because the finds & reactions blow up with interactions in social media algorithms, kids are flooded with proof of it technically being findable and feeling like it’s way more common than it is, encouraging them to invest all their time and attention into Fortnite for a time.

Wish everyone would stop the hype and call out the Pirate Shop Token for what it is: grooming a child audience for the gambling mentality

Kentucky's elections are the most corrupt in America.

[Smokahontas @Smokahontas2024]

Kentucky’s election was a complete disgrace. The same Epstein network that has protected predators for decades just finished installing its preferred candidates across this state. Reid Hoffman—the LinkedIn co-founder who visited Epstein’s island, stayed at the townhouse, exchanged gifts, and sent the “for the girls” notes—dumped half a million into a super PAC backing Zach Dembo. Andy Barr, now headed to the Senate, has long taken money from people tied to Apollo Global Management, the firm co-founded by Leon Black. Black paid Epstein roughly $158–170 million after the 2008 conviction, called him a close adviser, and later refused to fully answer Congress. More than one, actually.

That same network helped knock out Thomas Massie. Massie was one of the few willing to force the Epstein files into the open. The machine responded with the most expensive House primary in American history—roughly $37 million spent to replace him with Ed Gallrein, the Trump-endorsed Navy SEAL and farmer who campaigned as the loyal replacement. Massie is gone. Gallrein is in. The seat was bought.

Then there’s Hal Rogers, locked in for his 24th term after 45 years. Appalachia remains one of the poorest regions in the country. Pork, nonprofits stocked with his people, and the region stays stuck while Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR) and Kentucky Power keep the lights on—literally. Kentucky Power bills keep climbing as the customer base shrinks from population loss. So the state and SOAR use taxpayer money, with Kentucky Power’s support, to hand out $5,000-plus relocation incentives through the EKY Remote program, paying people to move here for remote jobs. This despite eastern Kentucky still having some of the worst broadband, and the new arrivals adding strain on housing. At the same time, the push is on for data centers, landfills, and tech companies projects Kentucky Power is actively courting as the answer to its rate problems.

Local politicians keep their friends and family in the loop on all of it so the contracts stay in the same hands. Bidding gets manipulated. Waste, fraud, and abuse run unchecked. Nepotism is the default. Opioid abatement money that was supposed to help the community gets burned on the same connected insiders instead. And the flood recovery has been a disgrace families still waiting while the connected get taken care of first.

Kentucky keeps electing the swamp and then acts shocked the water is still dirty. The disgrace isn’t just the results. It’s that we keep accepting them.

[kasey @kaseyklimes]

ok good job now pass popular bills and dare trump to veto them. here’s a starter set (all poll at 85% or higher):

- require hospitals to fully disclose costs before providing care.
- require background checks for all gun sales, including private sales.
- ban financial companies from selling customers’ personal data.
- require an enforceable supreme court ethics code.
- ban members of congress from trading individual stocks.
- prohibit former members of congress from becoming lobbyists for five years.
- prevent hospitals from charging more than doctors’ offices for identical outpatient services.
- establish a voluntary program helping employers provide paid family and medical leave.
- require publicly distributed AI deepfakes to be labeled as AI-generated.
- cap prescription drug prices based on prices in other developed countries.
- prohibit hospital facility fees for outpatient clinic services and telehealth visits.
- require organizations spending on federal elections to disclose major donors and identify sponsors of online political ads.

Don’t get me wrong I’m extremely happy tonight. But I’m gonna be really pissed off if Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries lead the House and Senate.

Their ancient tactics aren’t ready to meet today’s moment.
