So it looks like the UK Green Party’s “ban landlords” media approach is working; it’s removing the right wing papers’ ability to spin their policy, and instead forcing them to defend parasitic extraction of wealth from working and middle class families, and out of the communities they live in.

When teenagers were stealing merchandise from Macy’s on Mag Mile during COVID, “conservatives” in my life reached out to make sure I was safe

This is in my neighborhood and I haven’t heard a peep. So weird!

all of these videos are horrifying. what feels so singularly striking and scary to me in all of them is the individual seething contempt and rage of these agents

wowwww

No accountability for the MOVE bombing in Philly was one of the stepping stones for what’s happening in DC, Chicago, LA, Memphis right now.

lmfao, what can you say?

Sharing this thread from one of the parents who generously shared their time and experiences with me for the article.

I know that this is a very anti-AI space, but I hope people will try to be thoughtful about judgments they make about other people's parenting.

The Flotilla has achieved several remarkable victories. But the one thing that hits the hardest is that for the first time in years, Palestinians were able to go fishing due to the Flotilla keeping the IOF distracted. May it be the first of many wins ♥️

A Charlie Kirk fan stalked these teenage girls for months, did livestreams where he harassed them, and murdered them after one of them said something critical of Charlie Kirk.

This should be headline news. It’s a horrific tragedy.

car bumper and other miscellaneous parts strewn across a sidewalk, blocking its use days after a car crash.

do any american cities care about bumpers and other car junk littering streets and sidewalks days and weeks after a crash? are there any policies around this? going on day 3 of this eyesore, access violation, and blight.

People running a police state shocked to learn people hate the police

so glad we spent all that tax money propping up Tesla, it sure made the world a better place didn't it

enjoy that last gulp from the subsidy faucet, because these numbers are gonna crater from here

"I don't object to technology, I object to tech lords"

So why do Democrats push so hard for these Buy America laws, and even Buy [State] policies with the same effect? Protectionism isn’t helping you win votes, and it sure isn’t helping you delivery services for your constituents

Machine learning is a neat tool, but clearly companies are desperate to give “AI” credit for what human scholars accomplish in part because companies have bet the farm on the idea that human ingenuity is expendable. This historian is extraordinary and deserves the real credit.

Apropos of nothing much...

the respectful chase his ass down en masse to scare him to death followed by immediate group moderation so no one lets their emotions get the better of them with a hundred cameras out sequence is genuinely the most the kids are alright i have ever felt

This is heartening. The Israeli Navy is actually quite small, at one point outnumbered by the number of Sumud ships (tho ofc Israeli has seemingly endless US-supplied air power). Carry on, Mikeno!

I would definitely go with "This is not the time for hope" as my campaign slogan.

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

feels like we're living through some kind of cultural gas leak

Italy's largest union, with over 5.5 million workers, has called a general strike for Friday in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla.

And smaller Italian unions have said they will join CGIL's general strike.

I love that he doesn't take the bait on the "Is that going to stop people from voting for you?" question from Behar. He just lays things out plainly, states that what Trump is doing is wrong, and explains the ways in which it's possible to fight back. Mamdani is exceptionally good at this.
