Since early man drew on cave walls storytelling has been intrinsically part of the human experience. To surrender storytelling to machines would be to lose a part of ourselves.

Imagine working for a literal pedophile in the Epstein regime and having the nerve to say this

[Tom Morello @tmorello]

Apparently some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses

@Rockvegas698 @srl How do you pronounce the State of Montana?

[Sam Levine @srl]

During a call with DHS officials last week, a top official in the Nevada secretary of state's office interrupted a presentation to correct how one DHS official was pronouncing Nevada.

[Ted Pappageorge, Culinary Union @TedP226]

Since the contract was updated in 2023, Culinary Union has invoked technology protections outlined in the contracts multiple times every month. There’s no other way to ensure workers aren't left behind by tech other than having a strong union contract. https://t.co/nZQEiqCLSe

He doesn’t want to help. He doesn’t want to work. He doesn’t want the job.

[CSPAN @cspan]

U.S. Sen. candidate @AbdulElSayed (D-MI) says representatives should reflect negative community response to data centers: "Too often, the representatives don't represent the public... they represent the people who pay for their campaigns."

[Fr. Cassidy Stinson @TheHappyPriest]

Look, I'm still not the kind of priest to say things like "they're putting demons in the robots," but the chainsaw-wielding black drones with eyeball horns are making it harder to argue my case

[Vital Vegas @VitalVegas]

Genius.

[Cassie Pritchard @hecubian_devil]

Agree with this. At the end of the day, LLMs *simulate* a human interlocutor and there’s no way it’s good for your brain to be cruel to something mimicking a person.

This is one of the bad things about AI, tbh

It provides a moral framework that justifies users practicing/simulating cruelty. Practice it enough, it will start to become habit.

@Hidden_Collect MAGA is trying to resurrect it.

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

Sclerotic party establishments deeply allergic to voter participation and havoc-prone anti-system demagogues who thrive on personality cults -- these are not opposing tendencies but two sides of the same crisis of democracy.

@TheWapplehouse The 4th of July right after he’s gone, we go big. Go crazy to celebrate 253 years!

[Steve Sebelius @SteveSebelius]

The Democratic Socialists of America are adding members in Las Vegas and challenging incumbents in primaries. Hear more from one key member here:

Nonpartisans continue to grow! It's almost like people think partisan politics is a festering sewer of hypocrisy, disingenuousness and sociopathy or something.

The latest stats from SecState @CiscoForNevada's office:

[Val for Nevada @ValforNevada]

We actually *won the election* and then the predecessor stole all the money and used it to run a super PAC

[Tony @DonRondoEsquire]

If you’re a fellow legal history nerd, check out my article in this month’s edition of Nevada Lawyer that takes a look at some of the interesting characters populating Nevada’s early legal landscape.

At the Constitutional convention nothing was talked about so much as corruption, it was an obsession, the fear of private interests taking over, corruption as the likely “death of all republics”. Not once did they address it in criminal law terms, and not once did they think the solution was criminalizing. Today’s campaign finance system is corrupt to the core.
