the good news is that I've seen a much stronger pro-labor undercurrent than I've ever seen before in tech Unfortunately there's still a lot of temporarily embarrassed VP's who would wreck any organizing attempt if they could

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I think every trans person on this website should drop everything and read this immediately. Some of the worst social media backlash I've had lately has come from trans people who are mad at me for telling trans people not to panic over the current political situation.

the ai threat to labor happening after the early pandemic labor gains (however small) reminds me how the ruling class cracked down hard after wages started going up after the black death

In case you didn't know: Many hospitals offer financial assistance programs that one can apply for. You may even end up getting all of your bill waived! I just got my bill brought down from over $6k to a little over $1k. Good luck everyone 🫡

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

It's funny that one loud camp is (predictably) saying that Mamdani’s antisemitism plan is not Zionist enough, while another is claiming it's (somehow) too Zionist. What both overlook, because neither really care, is the project of fighting antisemitism in NYC on its own terms

My favorite example is how old Slavic words for "world", derived from Proto Slavic světъ "light" influenced Romanian lume "world", a word clearly from Latin lūmen. It's the only major Romance language where "world" comes from "light", thanks to Slavophone Orthodox Christianity.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Yes. I think the consensus among US elite pundits and senior politicians that the way to protect liberal democracy is *not* to punish elite figures who violate its rules is wrong. A norm starting at least with the Watergate pardon. The opposite is true. You need to enforce the law and Constitution.
