Google News has pushed me links to press releases from the White House, now Anthropic. It makes me wonder what other PR is being spoonfed directly to people.

My TikTok algo is breaking in a weird way post sale. It trends towards conservative coded "bro"/ sports content (NEVER got before), then breaks down into 100% conservative text posts (occasionally seen before). This resets if I wait a little while. Is anyone else experiencing something similar?

Bernie Sanders hinted at a break with the Democratic Party in an email sent out earlier today. If this ends up being more signal than noise, this is a significant moment.

It's so sad that Gimlet's "Crime Show" got swallowed whole by the memory hole of the Podcast Platform Wars because they kept it as a Spotify exclusive, and it still is?!

Happy ten year anniversary to this amazing essay from Arthur Chu. The reactionary movement that spawned GG continues to metastasize today, and I've send this article to people so many times over the years. It's still worth a read! If you can tell me if Chu is on here or wherever please do.

The mental image from this Eric Adams quote of starting every day imploring his staff not to commit crimes is very funny. “I cannot tell you how much I start the day with telling my team, ‘We’ve got to follow the law, got to follow the law'" www.nytimes.com/article/eric...

Cal State's base funding will likely be spared from across-the-board budget cuts, according to a letter sent to faculty members from union leadership yesterday. The means faculty will maintain their 5% wage increase set to go in effect in July. ebudget.ca.gov/budget/2024-...

NYT or WP are covering "campus protests" whereas student media are covering one on their campus. A national story becomes a trend story that flattens the difference between the protests, the people involved, motives, and even administrative response. All of those variances lost in national coverage.

Shot in the dark... anyone in my small sphere here ever work with California RIPA data on police stops? I wonder how much of a window that would give us into policing trends at Cal State and UC...

[CW: Rape] To me it speaks a VERY clear language about how quickly #MeToo was shut down even in US media ecosystems, that in 2023 two women think they share a common prominent journalist rapist, only to find out it’s two prominent journalist rapists who are friends with each other.

CSU is asking students across its 23 campuses if their professors will participate in the CFA strike next week. Some faculty believe it is a systemic effort to dock pay for striking workers. A CSU VP for labor said the forms were only to "gauge the impact" of the strike.

Faculty at San Diego State University are speaking out against a form being pushed to students that asks if their prof will be on strike next week -- claiming it's a way to systemize withholding pay during the work stoppage. Is this happening at any other Cal State? I'd love to know.

I just wrote a primer on the upcoming Cal State faculty strike. I couldn't confirm definitively for the header that it will be the largest faculty strike by numbers in US history -- but it seems highly probable!

California State University leadership simply walked out of today's bargaining session with the faculty union, so it looks like we're going forward with a statewide strike — across 23 campuses, serving almost half a million students — starting January 22. www.calfac.org/strike/
