This week it's Zelenskyy, last week it was Carney. Bets on the Norwegian leader next week?

This is revolting. Telling their employees that they can't pay them more but investing in a technology that ACTIVELY steals art it's just disgusting.

Honestly live streaming an execution for the clicks feels like a natural consequence of not regulating the tech industry

Meanwhile, back where we started. I said this morning: Notable that Anthropic is more interested in protecting Claude from humans than humans from Claude. Not just Anthropic. The misdirection of empathy says a lot.

I remember watching the founder's videos on IG with her grandfather's cat, Mackenzie. 😹 I also think the premise of the organization is so good - I wouldn't want to leave my cat alone and uncared for.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

If carried out, the public execution of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan by firing squad set for Dec. 3 would be the first in modern U.S. history.

I would have preferred waking at 4 am for a 7 am or 8 am procedure. Instead, they made me show up at 6:30 am for an injection and then I went to a different hospital and waited until 1:30 pm for the start of anesthesia. I'd been fasting since MIDNIGHT. Don't do that to the easily hangry, lol

For months Gabriela Soto has relentlessly advocated for her husband Martin, unlawfully detained by ICE while buying diapers for their baby. Martin played a key role in the Delaney Hall hunger strike this summer. Last night we was RELEASED from ICE custody. ALWAYS FIGHT BACK.
Beautiful young family outside a detention center.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

I loved that episode because Bourdain had an opportunity to show that food is not only the best of our culture, it is also hella political. You could hear the restraint in his voice, and he was so respectful.

Relative's friends were out shopping in Palm Springs last year. ICE stopped them to check their passports...which they'd left at the AirBnb. Not a detention, but the spot checking reeks of intimidation for funsies. Hard nope - there are better places to be/spend money.

Canadians aren't forgetting or forgiving right now either. People don't remember what you say, they remember how you made them feel. We have a lot of Americans mad at us for boycotting them and legit, most Canadians do not care because of this type of behaviour.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

I’ll also add that most of the heat should be directed at USA Today, but the journalists who participated in this breach of ethics also made a choice. Organizations are made up of people. We can’t absolve the people who do harm on the behalf of an organization.

As an expert on sexual violence, I have to add that these ethical violations are a nightmare for interviews on sensitive subjects. I would never recommend ANY survivor goes public with their story at an outlet that would do this to them.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives
