Software engineer by trade, trying to be a decent person in my time off. Just wanna make this watery rock a little better by my work and have some fun along the way
UPDATE: Governor Cook has issued a statement.
“President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”
The first “removal” (if this stands) of a Federal Reserve Board Governor in the institution’s 112 year history. Totally unprecedented. No due process. A totally authoritarian move.
Here's a news story covering Sean's comments & the subsequent retaliation. Judge for yourself, but to me, this is our LA public transit showing how, bit by bit, institutions let fascism take hold. This is a matter of democracy, not just a job. Please share widely: lapublicpress.org/2025/08/la-m...
LA Metro said the bus operator wasn’t authorized to give an interview. The driver said he was simply exercising his right to free speech by giving an interview on his day off.
Guys, I have a special & unusual request today. My cousin Sean is a union bus driver here in Los Angeles who was just FIRED in retaliation for saying he would not let masked ICE agents onto his bus to abduct riders. The fight is on to get his job back, you can help: actionnetwork.org/letters/send...

FWIW, but his audience isn’t Washingtonians at all. These lies are tailored for people who never even visit NY, Chicago, LA, or DC
Earlier this year, a 17-year-old high school student named Hannah Cairo solved a 40-year-old mystery about how waves behave, surprising and exciting mathematicians. @kevinhartnett.bsky.social reports: www.quantamagazine.org/at-17-hannah...
After finding the homeschooling life confining, the teen petitioned her way into a graduate class at Berkeley, where she ended up disproving a 40-year-old conjecture.
The US ambassador to France, Charles Kushner, was on Monday ordered to report to the French foreign ministry after he criticised Paris for what he said was its insufficient action against antisemitism ➡️ u.afp.com/SAiu
relatedly, you can really tell which pundits, consultants, and elected dems actively dislike large portions of their voting base, and tbh I think we all deserve better. I think we deserve people who think "the groups" are great and do important work
the #zcavengerhunt is just the latest reminder that a major qualification for running for public office should be liking the place you’re running to represent
I realize this is a bit of a tangent, but the headline is also misleading. 24-hour electronic monitoring with no freedom of movement (school and home only, with the girl’s “home” being a shelter) is not the same thing as “released.”
First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out (because the message test performed at a low percentile rank compared to other messages in our testing bank for non college men who opt into online surveys through various consumer reward programs)

I don’t even think HAL was called artificial intelligence in the film. They definitely called Data “artificial” in ST:TNG. I’m certain @greatdismal.bsky.social calls Wintermute an “artificial intelligence” in Neuromancer and that’s what, ‘84?
