I was going through my scrapbook during lunch because I was trying to remember what show i had seen at hammerstein theater and came scores these bad boys. The top was comped because I knew how to get radio tickets but the bottom one was $40 about $ 75 in today's dollars

Tickets to see nsync in 1999 at Jones beach. The top one says comped the bottom one says 40

"We are dealing with the reality of the criminal legal system. It’s not optional. Once you or your loved ones are implicated in that system, you have to confront it. You also have to foster that sense that we can build something different—but until we’ve destroyed these systems, it’s a both/and."

I know the Blue MAGA grifters make all kinds of noise about grand plans that will fix everything if you just give them or their PAC or whatever more cash, but real and meaningful change comes from deep, resilient grassroots networks that can sustain pressure and withstand state attacks.

Well, a lot of organizers "bleating" on here right now are saying and have been saying that now is the time to build out local relationships and community alliances to materially support vulnerable communities and pressure local politicians into noncompliance with Trumpian overreach.

They all act like there’s some Trump voter out there who was like “I’m just really interested in the intricacies of his brilliant tax and trade policy proposals” and fuck, there fucking isn’t. They want us to suffer and die, in that order, and they expect he will live up to his promises to do so

"92 million low-income people in the U.S. states—everyone whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal poverty line—have some basic aspect of their lives decided by AI" www.techtonicjustice.org/reports/ines... this is a damning report

reads: The Ways AI Decides How Low-Income People Work, Live, Learn, and Survive

The use of artificial intelligence, or AI, by governments, landlords, employers, and other powerful private interests restricts the opportunities of low-income people in every basic aspect of life: at home, at work, in school, at government offices, and within families. AI technologies derive from a lineage of automation and algorithms that have been in use for decades with established patterns of harm to low-income communities. As such, now is a critical moment to take stock and correct course before AI of any level of technical sophistication becomes entrenched as a legitimate way to make key decisions about the people society marginalizes.

Employing a broad definition of AI, this report represents the first known effort to comprehensively explain and quantify the reach of AI-based decision-making among low-income people in the United States. It establishes that essentially all 92 million low-income people in the U.S. states—everyone whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal poverty line—have some basic aspect of their lives decided by AI.

A woman stopped by one of our party tents yesterday. She told a volunteer that she had lied to her husband about where she was going so she could come vote. She'd also managed to secretly write postcards to likely Dem voters, too, & asked us to mail them. Abusive, controlling men are everywhere.

Oh ffs. So the chilling effect continues: “However, the judges also said that because they are a chancery court, they do not have the jurisdiction to block the criminal statute inside the ban — where violators face felony charges carrying a prison sentence as high as 15 years”

Okay, this takes some explanation, and I'll say up front (not at you, just in general): I have read literally every exhibit and every piece of discovery made public in every trial, and I am not taking commentary from anyone who hasn't also done the same. That having been said:

Mapping sentences into n dimensional retrievable vectors is not “thought”, no matter how “random” the connections. In fact it could be argued that randomization is definitely NOT intelligence because it lacks sensory context and motivation.

Tonight, PP, the ACLU, and RFFA (formerly NARAL) "will pitch a group of influential progressives on going on offense at a time when abortion is outlawed in a third of the country." Not to split hairs, but if you're doing this on the *second anniversary* of Dobbs, you're not "going on offense."

it is okay to change your mind about something or someone when presented with new information. it’s okay to have misjudged because you were lacking that information to begin with. it’s okay to have been wrong. learn from it, grow, and try to take lessons from your own mistakes AND other people’s.
