I posted this earlier today half jokingly: There should be some kind of hardship compensation for elder-care workers forced to endure Fox or Newsmax all day against their will by their clients' viewing habits. Often at obnoxiously loud volumes. I know; I live with one such worker.

They got dozens of reporters on the motorcade, but I’m almost alone on my beat—caregiving, nursing homes, the cost and strain on families. Real stuff. Something’s very wrong with this biz.

My industry has lost the plot. There seems to be a gigantic hole for coverage of the way life has shifted since the pandemic, of Long Covid, of the dismantling of rights at the state level, and news execs are like “We heard you! Here’s why showing you every angle of Hunter Biden’s penis matters.”

This is the 1st wave of Covid we’re experiencing without any public health measures. Vaccines can’t save you from infection with current variants, treatments are becoming less effective, & long Covid is a 1 in 10 loaded weapon. The security community is failing at risk management

Did not have purple-haired white lady screaming disabled people shouldn’t be out in public at Spokane, WA’s Olive Garden bathroom on my 2023 list. What’s sad - I was relieved my race didn’t enter the tirade overheard by the whole restaurant. Quit using disabled stalls as a damned phone/video booth!

When a company is lazy in preventing low hanging racism (ie: a word blocklist), I’m always reminded of the benefits of having diverse teams (if people are genuinely listened to).

So familiar with this from Disabled spaces. "Competing access needs". No. Conflicting, maybe. Incompatible, maybe. But everyone's needs matter and there have to be ways to make sure everyone's needs are met. It's work, but it's not impossible. We just have to want to make it happen.

Something very strange is happening to the Web. Finding something from the past on search engines is eroding. Atemporality replaced by an immediate, constantly vanishing, consumerist hyper-present. What we thought was an infinite Borges-ian library turning into Amazon checkout with a ticking clock…

niemanlab.org

Google is changing up search. What does that mean for news publishers?

A shift to AI-generated search results will decrease the traffic that Google sends to publishers' sites, as more people get what they need straight from the Google search page instead.

One thing I like here is the willingness to just join a conversation. It feels less like me talking to my 12 Approved Repliers. If you bring good vibes, you enrich the convo! I am also much more bold about responding to people I’d normally think are too cool for me, because we are all nerds here.

The studios are refusing to budge on AI because a creative industry without the hassle of having to deal with creative people is their dream. Creative people are opinionated and unpredictable (and expensive); computers do as they’re told without question or complaint.

This country is not ready for the very ugly caregiving realities that are about to hit between disability, elders, and the collapse of child care infrastructure.

The head of security at an old job had ‘dance like nobody’s watching. Email like you’re the subject of a subpoena’ in his email sig (possibly spurred by said org being involved in an extremely embarrassing high-profile hack…).

I hate this so much. But take a tip from a old whore: NEVER write down anything you would not read out loud IN COURT. I’m perfectly serious. Do not, in any fashion, ever put evidence of your intention to commit any type of crime into written form. Not even your own notes. Because: they’ll get them.

I don’t expect to not see antiblackness because the world is antiblack. I don’t expect to not see ableism, because the world is ableist. Pushing back on those things will not always be polite or civil, because they aren’t rooted in civility.

most of these twitter alternatives won't work because....... Twitter stopped being a platform for cool around 2018 it's civic cultural infrastructure and needs to be built like that it can't be built by anybody who doesn't FULLY confront what it meant

Seriously, the new UX for alt-text is phenomenal! really happy to see an ongoing commitment from the team to improving accessibility features. also important to say these improvements aren’t possible w/o folks advocating for them & providing feedback! really great to see that iteration cycle 🔁❤️
