Summary

Sen. Bernie Sanders launched a probe into Trump’s unprecedented firings of Democratic members of the NLRB and EEOC.

The dismissals, including NLRB’s Gwynne Wilcox and EEOC Chair Charlotte Burrows, eliminated agency quorums, hampering their functions.

Legal scholars argue these firings violate long-standing precedent protecting independent agency leaders. Wilcox and others plan legal action.

Sanders warned the moves weaken labor protections, while the EEOC, under new leadership, is already rolling back workplace gender identity protections.

I don't need anything too fancy, I just want to be able to watch the camera, and stop a print if it goes wrong.

Officials in California have revealed that President Donald Trump nearly flooded the region’s farms when his administration tried to send an excessive amount of water south, a feat he bragged about on Friday.

“Today, 1.6 billion gallons and, in 3 days, it will be 5.2 billion gallons. Everybody should be happy about this long fought Victory!” Trump gloated in a Truth Social post.

Experts told The New York Times that the water released by the Army Corps on Friday has no way of reaching the region affected by the wildfires, which is over 200 miles away, and could have been useful to farmers months from now as irrigation.

Bearded dragons are weird, doofy, fantastic creatures. ❤️

This is Perogi. He is a bit new to our household. I have many many many years of experience with dragons. They're just.. weird. Like...actually.

I recently watched a Norwegian TV show where they pointed out that you can't even get ChatGPT to show you a boob. So I decided to test it, but being less explicit.

I couldn't even get ChatGPT to generate a renaissance painting of a woman with an exposed breast, like Botticelli's The Birth of Venus.

After that I attempted to get it to recreate the painting. It did not want to copy that painting either for copyright issues.. A public domain painting, even when pointing it out and it agreeing it did not want to do it.

When I ask it questions in regards to politics it does not seem to fare well either.

I feel that using the service kinda "trains me" to self-censor, and tries to remain artificially unbiased in a way that is uncanny.

What are your opinions about censorship and bias from LLMs/AI?

I live in a small Canadian village that imports most of it's leafy greens from the US. They're neither fresh nor cheap, and with Trump's new tariffs, people might be willing to consider alternatives.

Here is an idea for a turn-key hydroponic operation I feel could be implemented where I live: https://www.thegrowcer.ca/featured-farmers/filling-a-community-need-valemount-learning-society

I'm looking for advice on structuring/education/outreach for building a new community organization around this idea while ensuring the organization is and remains thoroughly communist.

Tariffs don’t cause inflation, they cause success. They cause big success, so we're going to have great success.

I'm finding myself needing to talk things out with people. I've never been one for writing a letter of thoughts that I'm forming and then sending it to a pen pal and there aren't any third-spaces around me where idea-formation can occur. I'm looking to have discussion with people about the possible paths the burger reich could take or what the potential consequences of certain international actions or events could be or even what the utility of certain choices by various state or world leaders could have.

I have a need for discourse and I would really like to find a way to do it while hearing other people speaking with me. Does anyone have any recommendations for where I can find this?
