Susan Collins in a D+9 environment

MAINE POLL - Senate 🟥 Susan Collins (inc): 49% 🟦 Troy Jackson: 46% NYT/Siena (A+) | 9/15-22 | 619 LV

I had somehow missed until now that Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks had joined Trump's insane SLAPP suit against J Ann Selzer and the Des Moines Register. Incredibly embarrassing.

CNN poll this AM: 71% say the federal government is not doing enough to regulate AI. Trump this AM on AI regulation: "I want to leave it exactly where it is."

"On at least one occasion, the crickets escaped in the office and had to be recaptured." This sentence rocks. Like did they stage a daring prison break or did the same rake-stepping staffers now kvetching to the Times accidentally let them out

So I was just watching Fox News and this commercial played during Jesse Watters show. It says “Paid for by the US Government.” This is clearly a campaign ad. And the singers are just singing over and over again, “Love me” - over images of Trump. @CBSMiami @CBSNews

Very funny to see GOP comms staffers retweeting this. What did you think the vibe shift meant? Papers? Essays?

This turned out to be the most prophetic tweet of the year

Has any post aged worse in history?

Was trying to determine whether this race is fool’s gold or not but *Roger Marshall* criticizing *ICE* makes me think there’s quite the panic here

Elections twitter every day until Election Day

Even knowing intellectually that these people are total shameless liars this is pretty breathtaking stuff

I work at a restaurant that does events and we received some challenging last-minute requests from a client. We scrambled to fill them. I realized later that these requests were likely made by an AI agent, and that the human client might not have personally cared. This felt bad!

Finally reading @dwarkesh_sp on the Hugging Face attack: "I don’t see the value in refusing to use the language of intention, motivation, and collaboration when a behavior is impossible to make sense of without these concepts." dwarkesh.com/p/openai-huggin…

DEFUND 👏 THE 👏 MANDATORY 👏 REPORTERS

Read this profile of @emlwaters this morning, who is friend, full disclosure. Regardless: ????????? With respect to @eminietfeld, who I’ve never had cause to think negatively about before: - Who cares what Waters’ husband looks like? - What does it matter that Waters’ relative helps out with her kids? - Why write this about an adult woman?: “Waters had the energy of a high school newspaper reporter with a blowout and makeup that perfectly concealed her prominent chin.” ?? This is the kind of insult I remember from high school, not something I expected to see in professional journalism by grownups. - If nothing else, this is a extremely unpleasant line to write about women who use natural reproductive tech to have deeply wanted kids: Nietfeld refers to them as using “pro-Natural Procreative Technology, by which infertile heteros of breeding age clean up their diets, reduce their plastics, and ultimately get knocked up according to God’s will.” ???????????? Is this supposed to be … feminism? Something else? I don’t get it.

according to wikipedia only two notable events have ever happened in the hart senate building
