When you think about it, men having to face social and personal consequences for their actions is almost exactly like that time we mob murdered a bunch of women

Just over a week ago, we lost my dad to cancer. He passed away peacefully in his sleep at home after a few days of hospice care, just enough time for family and friends to have the chance to visit and say goodbye. My dad was Pure Michigan™️ through and through.

This is about regulating AI but the same applies to safety net and ALMPs in response to anticipated disruption from AI. Folks on the hill want "something for AI" but standard sectoral training and employment policy, guaranteed income, etc. are still the solutions because disruption is disruption.

for your future voting knowledge, Gavin Newsom was central in pressuring the AGs to settle their antitrust lawsuit against Paramount:

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

Here's an anecdote: On 9/10/2001, The Onion staff had a New York launch party at the Bowery Ballroom to celebrate the staff's move from Madison, Wisconsin to New York City. They woke up hungover, took a week off, and then produced one of the greatest front pages in the history of newspapers.

I was paid minimum wage to stand outside a store in Bozeman, MT, in sub-zero temperatures, waving a bell to solicit donations for Salvation Army, only the store had prohibited actual bells because of the noise, so I just waved a plastic cutout of a bell with "ding" on one side & "dong" on the other.

a particular delight of the Fielder/Holmes documentary is this fever dream of a rollout. Within a 20 minute span, i: first heard rumor of it, had that confirmed with a teaser, and learned it will come out in a month.

one of the things that stood out the most with Coyote v. Acme is that for as much cartoon and live action was on screen at the same time, it didn’t give uncanny valley like other recently blended movies 🎥

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

In the 90s we didn't have social media. We rode our bikes outside. We listened to cassette tapes. We hung out at the bus stop. We ate cassette tapes at the bus stop. We rode to the bus stop on a cassette tape and listened to bicycles. Dont like it? Neither did I
