Hey @mayor.lacity.gov don't think we forgot about the time you said the city had a billion dollar funding shortfall immediately after you gave the LAPD a billion dollar raise

Bass-backed LAPD pay hike passes, despite flack from progressives

Los Angeles police secured a substantial raise, as the city struggles to retain cops.

Lemme tell you something, Mayor. I canvassed for you when you ran against Rick, and I was proud as hell to be from your district when your name was talked about as a possible running mate for Joe in 2020 but you have been an incredible disappointment as Mayor and you need to leave. Now.

Took one of those pre-sleep naps where your subconscious reveals the scale of your sadness measured against not the sadness of yesterday and the day before but the potential absence of any sadness in your life, leaving you confronted and hollow. Yall taking these naps 🤣🤣🤣

Very sad to hear that Margaret Hamilton has passed away. Here's a short thread about her role in the Apollo mission, and her lesser-known work on the simulations that led to the discovery of Chaos Theory. 🧪 👩‍🔬 ⚛️

To me, an underrated culprit is the enduring strength of Snapchat (the whole allure of a disappearing paper trail of it all). Much like yikyak back in the day, there’s something that allows very dark sided, indefensible actions taken with impunity and no fear of consequences

Campus rape is really widespread; statistics suggest a significant percent of women who go to college will be raped there; feminism opened up a good conversation about it around 2012-13; it's weird when people treated Cornell like an isolated rather than dramatic example of a pervasive problem.

In which I am introduced to the poet Craig Santos Perez in the public school library at my teen’s curriculum night.

Love in a Time of Climate Change
BY CRAIG SANTOS PEREZ

recycling Pablo Neruda's "Sonnet XVII"

I don't love you as if you were rare earth metals,
conflict diamonds, or reserves of crude oil that cause
war. I love you as one loves the most vulnerable
species: urgently, between the habitat and its loss.

I love you as one loves the last seed saved
within a vault, gestating the heritage of our roots,
and thanks to your body, the taste that ripens
from its fruit still lives sweetly on my tongue.

I love you without knowing how or when this world
will end. I love you organically, without pesticides.
I love you like this because we'll only survive

in the nitrogen rich compost of our embrace,
so close that your emissions of carbon are mine,
so close that your sea rises with my heat.

"It urges on us questions not so much about this or that redistributive policy solution but instead about our whole conception of politics: If this is not the future we want, what are the institutional forms of power needed to broker and achieve an alternative?"

Data center opponents have assembled a potent political force. But without a more expansive vision, there is a risk that this techlash could be co-opted and fizzle out.

The AI problem is also, at the end of the day, about our democracy. The real problem is oligarchy. If we had a political system which represented what most people wanted, we could deal with AI in a way that ensured public benefits and safety. The problem is a few oligarchs decide our fate.
