They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

yes yes yes yes yesssss

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

In view of the SNAP crisis, providing pantry stable items to those in need. Please take what you need and leave what you can, no perishible items please.

📣 IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE FREE LIBRARY TURN IT INTO A COMMUNITY PANTRY ASAP IF YOU ARE ABLE

Every time I start feeling despair I am reminded that many, many people want to help, actually.

California may vote on a one-time 5% tax on billionaire wealth to help the state fund health care for low-income residents after sweeping cuts to Medicaid.

A possible ballot proposal could generate $100 billion, most of which would go toward health care for millions of people.

Trump's Corporate Colluders - More Perfect Union We analyzed more than 150 top donors to Trump's inauguration fund and the White House ballroom construction to figure out which corporations are donating — and what they got in return.

REPORT: Billionaires and corporations donate to Trump's inauguration fund and the White House ballroom.

Then, Trump makes the government work for them.

BREAKING: We're suing North Carolina over its congressional map that disenfranchises Black voters in the state.

The newly passed map shifts thousands of Black voters out of their communities of representation.

Shout it from the rooftops.

If you're mad at the poor for receiving SNAP benefits, but not at billionaires for not paying taxes, you're a victim of THEIR propaganda.

Time to fix your priorities.

Winner Of The Record-Breaking $2 Billion Powerball Is Spending Millions Buying Up Scorched LA Area Land—Snapping Up Burnt Lots In The Ashes Of His Hometown The winner of the largest Powerball jackpot in U.S. history isn't retreating into a private island or a penthouse. He's buying ashes. Edwin Castro, the California man behind the record-breaking $2.04 ...

Unexpectedly lovely article about the Altadena-native powerball winner buying up burned land to rebuild the community and put local families back in homes. My heart is made very happy by this news. 🖤

It's my birthday! That means it's @extralife4kids.bsky.social time! We're now going into our 13th year, supporting children and their families by raising funds for a children's hospital. This year, funds that I raise will be going to the Henderson Hospital in NV www.extra-life.org/participants...

Also, this should not need to be said, because "promote the general welfare" def means feeding people, still it's worth noting that food stamps have a huge positive economic impact overall. Every $1 spent on SNAP adds $1.54 to the economy. As is often the case, doing right is also an overall good.

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

Amazon is planning to cut as many as 30,000 employees, starting tomorrow.

The corporate giant made nearly $60 billion in profits last year.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

Love this, more of this

No, we don't want "free" healthcare.

We want universal healthcare paid for by our taxes that covers everyone and leaves no one bankrupted and sick.

This isn’t difficult to comprehend.

It is increasingly important to view 100% of corporate media as completely hostile to you, and your way of life. I am neither joking, nor, honestly, really, even overstating the case here. If there’s a rich guy at the top of the management chain, it’s gotta get binned.

Cutting SNAP is an economic time bomb.

End the shutdown & fund the services America needs.

5 words: Tax billionaires out of existence.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

They can't flee to a different state if we do this in every state.. No more state budget concerns?

Why does the government need private jets is maybe a question we should be asking.

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!
