Too bad @animalologist.bsky.social doesn't cross post much with her twitter account but this is a comment I find worth analyzing for many intersecting reasons. There is too much to unpack here in even 3 bluesky comments so I'll just leave this here as food for thought.

Looking into this it's clear news outlets weren't really reporting on this until a full week later. That's really bad news for the country. Expect more national disaters to get slowly reported and don't expect the federal government to step in like they failed to do here. youtu.be/7jHNY8b2vZ4?...

@mayor.nyc.gov I've never encountered mta police scanning people's payment cards until my 1st time going through a heavily black neighborhood today. Officers told me this started after 2008. I find it disconcerting I never encountered this in my usual routes. Do you find this inequity concerning?

At the bare minimum you have to consider how much money Rockstar would make in those 6 hours. Roughly they made over 500k so Netflix would have to pay a premium over that amount to start making this exclusivity worthwhile. How much of a premium? Who knows. Personally I think they paid 1 mil.

As you said elsewhere it is overvalued but it is demonstrating the ability to supplant workers in limited ways already. Before that happens unions need to rework their contracts and at some point the government is better off having a joint controlling stake.

Even if you don't value your work being stolen and making money without you anymore there are huge infrastructure penalties to run these data centers. This law will help the government fund efforts to clean up the health and environmental hazards.

Government controls money in various ways... This law is vital because these supervised algorithms are built off the back of our work & the goal is to replace us. We need to take ownership of our work & earn a residual for it. Unions can make this happen. This law helps where unions don't exist.

Annoying that @governor.ny.gov Hochul is punting climate improvements by revising the law such that 2024 targets don't have to be dealt with till 2029 and increasing the pervious 40% target to 60%. Basically says let future governors deal with this... www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2026/...

1. To go to Cuba they had to be interviewed & get authorization by the government. 2. No surprise this still happened but I'm betting the real reason it happened so late since our government didn't start planning to attack Cuba until recently and they need to tear down pro-Reconciliation with Cuba.
