It’s also really clear to me this week that the people telling us that AI will transform work…haven’t seen a lot of jobs where people work.

As Jane Doe was recently doxxed, PLEASE keep referring to her as Jane Doe until she actually comes forward and identifies herself. To do otherwise would feed into the validity of what they did, and deny her even more choice.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Here's something weird: Sarah Stevens, the Republican state house representative who's now running for the NC Supreme Court, doesn't seem to know Iryna Zarutska's name. She keeps talking about "Aray-na Zarinsky" instead. Vote Justice Anita Earls!

Normal, non-big-tech affiliated, non-effective altruist funded organizations working on ethical tech have been absolutely financially *devastated* in the last few years, thanks to both Trump and Big Tech deciding it no longer needs to pretend to care about ethics.

ICE grabbed a Kentucky State basketball player at the airport because she missed a student visa deadline while recovering from back surgery. She's been shuffled through four facilities and is now sitting in Texas. Kidnapping with a badge, and it's happening every single day.

Still wondering why the Democratic Party/left-leaning PACs aren't pushing back harder on the Michael Whatley ads saying Roy Cooper is "soft on crime," when Whatley's own party supports a rapist and pedophile who not only commits crimes abroad, but does ALL THE CRIME right here at home.

NC Folks, these constitutional questions on the ballot might seem reasonable, but each one will be enacted by wildly partisan legislation drawn up by a corrupt General Assembly cemented in place through decades of gerrymandering. It’s a trap. Don’t do it.

Meta's new AI agent wanted my passport info. Not to help me. To train on me. Actually, it wanted everything: bank accounts, email inboxes, ID info. No surprise coming from Meta. But always worth reminding readers that AI automations come with major privacy risks. www.wired.com/story/metas-...

Meta's Muse Is Better at Surveilling Than Helping Me
The Muse app continues Meta’s trend of opting users into data collection for AI training. It also nudges you to share your bank account, email, and passport information.

And look, I lived in the SF Bay Area for 24 years, so I've seen first-hand how gentrification can spoil a place. Labeling every newcomer a "transplant" has a dangerous connotation, like they don't belong unless they can produce documentation that they were born there. I've seen that movie before...

As someone who grew up in Oregon, where they had literal SIGNS saying, "Visit...but please don't stay" (first voiced by former gov. Tom McCall), this is an astoundingly dangerous take.

All these athletes getting paid to be the faces of gambling sites should be ashamed of themselves. This will be a terrible look in a year or two, as Americans, especially young people, waste what little money they have on these sites that make the rich richer and everyone poorer.

Peltola could've said nothing. Polling has her favored and there's no indication that this was going to be a relevant issue in the campaign. But using transphobia as a way to message to moderates that "I'm not like other Dems" is a major Third Way/centrist consultant strategy, and she's using it.

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

Both disallowed goals were mistakes* from where I'm sitting. I still believe the defender's leg kept Ijeh onside on the first one, and I still don't see how they call Sanchez's back for Paul being offside, when I didn't see her getting involved in the play. *I'm trying to be diplomatic here...
