NPR: Elon Musk will face scrutiny from Democrats after midterms

"...With a Democratic majority in Congress, the billionaire, who controls Tesla and SpaceX, will likely face investigations into the billions of dollars of government contracts his companies have been awarded since President Trump returned to office and his role leading the Department of Government Efficiency at the beginning of Trump's second term.

Musk gave more than $445 million to Republican candidates, political action committees and outside groups, according to federal election filings analyzed by OpenSecrets, a nonprofit that tracks campaign spending. That makes him the top donor in the midterms and among the very largest political donors in American history...."

Out today: The most populous county in the Rio Grande Valley in deep South #Texas—Hidalgo County—swung toward the Dems by about 49 points, comparing Trump’s ’24 margin to Talarico now. Talarico performed some 30 points better there than the top-ballot Dem in 2022 as well. https://www.texasobserver.org/holy-shit-texas-democrats-are-gonna-govern/

Some of us still do.

S.F. Democrats should bring back naked man, encourage topless dykes on bykes with boobie decoration contests, and hail the return of big, shining lubed up phalluses being stroked by passerby at Pride, because S.F. has lost a step when it comes to personal freedoms. Several, really.

Freedom is the right to fly your freak flag, without undue interference.

“We want things written by humans, not AI! But also we will make unreasonable demands of the human, never stop to even thank them, definitely won’t compensate them in any way for free labour, and become offended when they burn out.”

ATTENTION #USPOL SHOPPERS

the 119th US Congress is still in its 2nd session.

the US Senate Majority leaders are still Thune/Grassley/Vance. the Speaker Of The House is still Waylon Smithers Johnson.

THE CURRENT SESSION ENDS WHEN THE NEW CONGRESSPEOPLE ARE SWORN IN AND SEATED.

so, just let me clear:

Chuck Schumer IS NOT Senate Majority Leader.

Hakeem Jeffries IS NOT Speaker Of The House.

they would need to be elected by the new congress… 🧵

also not to put too fine a point on things, but the catholic sacrament -of- reconciliation specifically depends on two things:

admission of guilt for having sinned
penance, which if your priest is worth his salt, will involve making whole the person you sinned against

so, y'know.

learn how to do it right according to the standards y'all claim to live by.

i'm getting a pile of this comment on youtube with almost the same wording on each one

> I don't necessarily have a problem with Tuta's way. It depends how they use AI. If they use AI to scan the code to find vulnerabilities then that's fine because if Tuta doesn't do it then hackers will find them. Using AI as a tool is fine in my opinion but using AI as an entire coworker and letting it write your code is not

i wonder what it could be. surely they're completely unrelated

TechCrunch: Almost no one uses AI agents to book their Uber, company says

"...Uber’s chief financial officer, Balaji Krishnamurthy, told Wall Street analysts on the call that the company handled around 320 million trips and orders across Uber and Uber Eats during the week of Halloween, but only 500 Uber Eats orders were placed by an AI agent...."

RE: https://universeodon.com/@introversion/117558382249895348

reconciliation and healing is for when the party that injured another understands that they were wrong and -they- are trying to make specific strides towards undoing the harms that they did.

if that is not the case, then you cannot have those things.

It’s telling that nothing sparks joy for me in tech anymore huh.

I feel tech is a world where excellence isn’t rewarded, entitlement is everywhere, and for a movement that talks a ton about the importance of people, it sure has a way of chewing them up and spitting them out.
