Regardless of whether you agree with his policies or not, have to admit that we have not seen a politician interact with constitutes like this in a very long time
This is exactly why he continues to garner popular support
AOC: Mike Johnson paints this as though it’s some partisan witch hunt. But if you don’t want to be prosecuted for crimes, don’t do crimes.
And he’s talking about running a protection racket. And we are already seeing that this Trump administration has run what some have called one of the largest pedophile protection programs in American history.
And so when Mike Johnson tells a group of wealthy donors, I'm the only thing standing between you, and a consequence that should rattle at the conscience of every American.
What he wants to do is create—or rather, not even create, because it’s already been created—but protect a class of impunity in America that says, “You can commit whatever crime, and so long as you pay a check to us, we will protect you.”
And that is a model of extortion in American politics. And you know what? That’s their pitch.
My jaw dropped listening to this
“My husband worked for a very large mobile gaming company, and these are the craziest things he ever told me”
He says they estimate the value of each users home by their home WiFi signal. “Let's talk about data tracking — They would estimate the value of your home, and the way they did that was by looking at your WiFi signal, and depending on how strong the signal was, they would know how far you've walked from where the router is in your house, and they could estimate the square footage of your house from that, compare that to your general location data, and guess how much your house is worth and then they would sell you coin packs based on how much money they thought you had”
“They tracked the days of the month that you got your direct deposit, your paycheck, and they would send push notifications locations and targeted ads on those days to get you to buy coins”
I verified all this is not only possibly, but it’s 100% happening
- Mobile apps with permission can access WiFi signal strength
- As you move around with your phone, the app logs how signal strength changes weaker farther from router. This can roughly estimate room sizes, floor plans and overall home footprint especially combined with GPS and location data for the neighborhood
This is not what you sign up for when you download an app
My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”
Karl: Republicans are going to make you the poster child for the Democratic Party.
Mamdani: Let them. We don’t have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last November, and over the course of these last six months, what we’ve delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.
We’ve delivered free child care for two-year-olds for the first time in New York City history. We’ve delivered tens of millions of dollars back to tenants who were taken advantage of by bad landlords. We’ve delivered 165,000 potholes being paved. And we’ve done all of these things while also delivering the lowest recorded crime in our city’s history.
That’s what it looks like to have democratic socialism. And what you’re seeing is that New Yorkers experienced this for six months and made the decision that they wanted to see more of it on the national stage as well.
AI can build an app in an afternoon. But getting it safely into other people's hands is a whole other challenge!
This is the problem that I've been working on these past few months. I'm proud to finally share how we solved it with Block App Kit!

Bookmark this. Next week's list will look completely different.
The dream ADHD career: Being the idea person who comes up with creative concepts, connects random dots, and sees the big picture… then happily hands everything over to someone else to actually build and finish.
Because the ideation phase is pure dopamine.

some of this shit is genuinely evil. Besides the crazy race based discrimination it looks like if you get rejected from one job and a diff employer uses the same screening ai then you get double blackballed??? For 330 days straight???
