i absolutely want that
this correctly aligns local incentives
Replying to @eigenrobot
Census numbers get used for all sorts of things besides voting that need to be scaled by residents, illegal or no. You wouldn't want local emergency services or schools cut back bc there are lots of illegals in your area.

At @TerraformIndies we're often asked how, as a tiny start up in California, did we manage to build the cheapest utility scale solar array in North America? I asked @buildmattw to write a post on how he did it.

After all this time we’ve finally found the only foreigner that these assholes don’t want to let into America
Losing an election is not grounds for asylum.
Yet the Trump Administration is giving Flávio Bolsonaro safe haven in the United States. In Brazil, he is under investigation for alleged corruption, money laundering and currency evasion, and was ordered to surrender his passports.
The Trump Administration owes Congress answers on its role helping Bolsonaro flee Brazil in contravention of Brazilian law.

You, virgin: “well you know I’ve not very political, I just think we need to consider the facts, and I think it’s unfair how…”
Me, chad: “I like eugenics. Wanna hang out?”
In my experience at least, your political opinions don’t actually prevent women from dating you. You can disagree strongly on specific issues, including issues related to feminism or gender roles, and it’s fine. What a lot of right-wing men are mistaking for political exclusion is actually the deep female drive to reject losers and whiners. Rightism is an institutional loser right now, and that’s largely what they’re reacting to. But that doesn’t mean you have to have a loser mindset. Be a little insane. Hold nothing back. Don’t be preemptively defensive about your views. Be loose and casual and good-humored. Be genuinely confident. Don’t be an obnoxious pedant. Just let your truth flow freely from you without grasping or insecurity. Laugh often and well. Trust in fate/God/wyrd. Relax.
What women absolutely will not tolerate is the impression that you’re waiting on someone’s permission to achieve your goals or state your opinion or assert yourself. In the modern environment, as a rightist, not doing this requires being a little bit insane. So be a little insane. Dance madly through the world. Let go of your need for approval, or your need to make a point, and just be. The animal assurance of your confidence is more important than checking off a list of positions.
And it’s more fun anyway! Just live and feel and be free. Shed the shackles of discourse and rationalism and just dance.
When people talk about assisted living it's clear that they're imagining basically healthy -- just older -- people living full lives in managed spaces. To be fair, this is also how it's depicted in TV and movies.
This is not what nursing homes are actually like, to state the obvious.
Healthy, functioning people do not typically enter nursing facilities to live for long stretches. They live alone or with family.
The people in nursing home typically require significant monitoring and care and by the time it comes to that, what happens is that they spend down their assets until Medicaid takes over, and you're thankful for it, because they require more care than you could possibly give.
This is just the reality of the situation.

democrats: if we take power we will seize elon musk's companies and put him in prison and no, we do not care if he technically committed any crime or not
also democrats, somehow: why is elon musk funding republicans?

Understand how the narrative works.
Ahead of Brazil’s election, they were gearing up to blame Meta if Lula lost. Now that he’s been declared the winner, we’re hearing about the brilliant use of WhatsApp (Meta) that helped deliver his victory.
When Obama won in 2012, they celebrated his shrewd use of Facebook, voter data and microtargeting. When Brexit happened and Trump won in 2016, we got the Cambridge Analytica moral panic.
When the left wins, it’s brilliant digital campaigning. When the right wins, it’s social media manipulation undermining democracy.

This is a reminder of the stakes today, not only for Western nations but also for those who enter politics on the right. Failure doesn’t mean you get to go back to a normal life. Failure means you go to prison or are tortured under house arrest or killed. A sobering thought.
“Flávio has given up,” an adviser to the Bolsonaro family told me. “He’s terrified. He is worried his father will die in jail, that he himself will be jailed this week and that he may have a long prison term ahead.”

There's at least one more option: roll back the networkification of all software over the last 20 years. Some software must be networked, but a lot is networked only because that enables more lucrative subscription business models. We could undo that. xitter.cf/sachaservan/status/211…
There are two approaches to cybersecurity now that we’re in the vulnpolcalypse:
1. “patch the planet” by burning mountains of tokens, red teaming, and patching until you think there are no more exploitable bugs in the software
2. Shrink software components into their most minimal essence, tailor them to a particular system, and then formally verify it
Both approches are now enabled by LLMs. But only the second one can be done on a budget and without having access to frontier cyber models like mythos.
This is why I’m excited to see more legacy software get boiled down, hardened, and verified

Americans really can't imagine third world fraud like this. One of the fake victims was accidentally shot during the fake crime! The guy who set up hundreds of fake robberies, because apparently victims of crimes have an easier time getting visas, only got 2 years in prison.
Ya'll, this is nuts.
Hundreds - that's right, HUNDREDS - of armed robberies between 2022 and 2024 weren't real.
They were staged by the "victims" as part of a massive immigration fraud scheme to secure U-visas for themselves and their families.

Law firm goes to the doctor, says its partners are leaving and it’s worried the firm will disintegrate. The doctor says “treatment is simple. The great restructuring firm Weil is available tonight. Go and see them for advice on your options”
“But doctor…”
Sorry, but I'm not voting for a one point sales tax to support a mode of transit that costs $50/ride (including subsidy) and is filled with vagrants shooting up heroin and shitting on the seats.
If the idiots and trolls on this platform have their way, cause Measure RTM to fail next month and BART faces slashing 70% of service by July 2027, there isn’t a white knight from Sacramento because SoCal is going to need that funding for the 2028 Olympics. politico.com/newsletters/cal…
"Dying in custody" doesn't mean "killed by ICE", it could just be having a heart attack while awaiting your flight home. Only 28 at the scale of deportations under Trump is actually quite an achievement.
The great irony, and the problem here, is that she thought of him as husband material.
