I don't want anyone to have to work THAT hard. We would need an army of Mr. Sandman's just to deal with the president and his cabinet.

The combination of BHM & this post reminds me of this MLK quote about the white moderate (fits just as well for liberal/progressive today): "Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will."

I have considered it & think it's deeply concerning & wouldn't want to compound it by giving it more PII. Although, I had also considered maybe the government has already used AI just not for the purpose you described. I regret that you thought my intent was to argue. I was actually curious.

I hope Nancy Guthrie is found soon and is safe.

Also, her abduction has got me thinking, what’s the point in letting cameras, geolocation on my phone, and other surveillance tech watch me all day, every day, if it can’t deter or help rapidly solve a case like this?

I’m genuinely curious. If what is put into ChatGPT is likely also informing the model’s future outputs, why would feeding unfathomable amounts of child sexual assault and the names of those children into ChatGPT be a good idea rather than human rights violations?

I'm having the biggest case of FOMO. Someone needs to convince Princeton that public lectures should involve streaming. They should at least try it out in Feb and Mar.

Look at the @chicagotribune.com really leaning into the sympathizer aspect of Nazi sympathizer.

I don’t wish any harm on this baby, but I absolutely refuse to be happy for the despicable, soulless, hateful adult Vances.

And if there social media is just them talking at people with no responses to questions or concerns then I might even work to recruit those opponents.

Any elected who represents me & isn’t about abolishing ICE (training, reforming or guardrails is mealy mouthed bs) & isn’t committed to holding these criminals against humanity accountable no matter how long it takes is gonna see me volunteer & max out contributions to their opponents who will.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

I know I don't have a ton of media followers, but I'll put this out there anyway: if you need someone to comment/offer context on the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President's House site in Philly, get in touch. I just finished an entire book on Americans' fight over Washington and slavery.

I met an absolutely lovely academic who asked whether my department back home is affected by ICE -- a question dramatizing how little info is getting out.

For the record, the small example I chose:

My dept has a carpool to pick up grad students of color who can't safely commute to campus alone.

Chrome new tab that says "Press tab then enter to ask AI Mode"

i am very close to quitting Chrome entirely but just discovered that you can hard-disable this slop prompt by going to chrome://flags/#ai-mode-omnibox-entry-point and choosing 'Disabled' on the drop-down menu

I wish all it took to defeat bigotry was to connect bigots to someone in the demographic. The number of disowned queer folks and the slavers who sold their children proves otherwise. In my experience, proximity is neither necessary nor sufficient for decency and respect for human rights.

And the truth is. Police have always treated Black communities the way they are treating everyone right now. When we are learning our lessons from this moment, I hope one is trust Black folks when we tell you what oppression looks like.

All day I’ve been reading posts and watching video of local police fucking over the residents of their cities to the dismay of many “reasonable” people who chastised people like me when we said defund them. My purpose isn’t to say what popular it’s to say what’s true.

Of course the Mango Mummy said something stupid. The epitome of nastiness, mediocrity, mendacity & malfeasance is scared of Putin so he sends Americans to fight elsewhere so he can feel tough. Threatening Denmark & Greenland is so sad and weak. I don’t know if it’s more enraging or embarrassing.

Interesting to sub Trump for Maduro & adjust for the fact that Trump fails more.

[Trump] destroyed his own legitimacy by (attempting) rigging elections, (threatening) jailing opponents, censoring media, and ruling by force while millions fled the country (self-deportations, ring a bell?).

Nope! Negative! As a Greene with maternal Taylors I double disown her.

When the best you can say about research is it’s a semi-novel form of victim blaming, it’s probably research a university shouldn’t be going out of their way to share with the public.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.

1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

It’s not hard for to take an action that will side with workers over billionaires today. Stand with @sbworkersunited.org don’t go to Starbucks (not even the one in your grocery store AND especially not at Target) & don’t buy Starbucks branded products. #NoContractNoCoffee at Starbucks.

Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

I ran into an advocate who told me that the 9 men detained from Canal Street last month struggled to find legal representation. Historically, Black immigrants experience disproportionately *more* removals than any other group. Anti-Black racism fuels US immigration in *every* way.

Opinion: Jamal Khashoggi's words live forever Jamal Khashoggi came from a prominent Saudi family but fled his country in June, 2017, after he'd become increasingly critical of his government. The Saudi journalist was murdered in 2018.

Alice Wong sending us love and wisdom from the other side is a thing I needed today. May she rest in power.

This is so cute! And the POTUS thinks it’s an IQ test that proves he’s a super genius.
