The Caregiver Artificial Intelligence Prize Challenge | ACL Administration for Community Living

This feels ridiculous to me when the problem would clearly be on the path to being solved by paying care workers a living wage. You don't need AI to think of that. acl.gov/caregiver-ai...

i’m not visually disabled but my wife is and if you need help figuring out what to write for alt text, just imagine you’re telling her what’s in the picture so she can understand the post. “handshake meme, one side says ‘salt’ other says ‘evelyn normielib,’ they meet at ‘fuck ice’.” or whatever

Your periodic reminder that the expression about "a few bad apples" does not mean that the rest are fine, it means that the rot spreads from the bad ones and corrupts the whole barrel

‘Nobody gives me information’: Jacksonville-area man held in ‘Deportation Depot’ for weeks talks conditions, challenges Macario Pablo-Reyes, 49, has been held for weeks at the Baker County Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, sometimes referred to as the “Deportation Depot.”

Legally here on a work permit. Arrested when he went to renew it. Not fighting his deportation. Yet he's been in detention 29 days. No access to a lawyer. Has been given no information about his case. Family inquiries also ignored. ICE only responded when local news requested comment.

I think people are put off because they think they have to write long, dense descriptions, but that's not the case! the most useful advice I ever read was to describe the details that are relevant to the reason you're posting the picture, because that's what you'd expect sighted people to focus on.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

My friend from HS makes ice cream/recipes for a living and posted for Black History Month about how pecans were first domesticated by an enslaved man and the technique for mass pollination of vanilla was developed by an enslaved man and someone was this mad about it!!!

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

when i was a 16yo girl i thought i was an adult. coaching 12-17yo girls as a 28yo really hammered home how much i was wrong about being an adult at 16 and how obvious it is to actual adults that a 16yo is not an adult. if they say they cannot tell they are lying because they are a creep.

The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax ProPublica has obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, ev...

We found that Jeff Bezos paid *zero* taxes in 2007 and 2011.

In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children.

This is how he did it (published 2021):

The US government is spending taxpayer dollars to sue a 5-year-old refugee/kindergartener for seeking asylum here through the legal and proper channels when he was an infant

UAW graphic: "60 million Americans would join a union if they could."

60 million Americans would join a union if they could. Weak labor law and lawbreaking employers have become the central impediment to workers having the freedom to form a union.

all of us consistently pointing out the deep and urgent need to end the cruel and violent practice of utility shutoffs have been proven right since 2020 and i'm feeling like i'm grieving in advance about the needless deaths we will see this hot, fashy summer.

Revealed: Private jet owned by Trump friend used by ICE to deport Palestinians to West Bank Exclusive: Luxury aircraft owned by property tycoon close to US president’s family has twice flown Palestinian men from Arizona to Tel Aviv

🚨 Attention Irish readers 🚨

"His sleek Gulf stream jet – which he has called “my little rocket ship” – was used to transport the men from an airport near a notorious removal centre in Arizona to Tel Aviv. The jet made three refuelling stops en route: in New Jersey, Ireland and Bulgaria."

they are not "immigration enforcement efforts" @georgiarecorder.com because they do not target people who have broken immigration laws. They target by race and the turmoil is about violent racism and broader intimidation. Please, update your style guide!

You probably woke up this morning and thought "did I miss my chance to buy dash cams for folks in Minneapolis because we live in actual hell?" And the answer is no, no you did not.

I feel like crap this morning so give me a bit of a distraction and show me your art and creative stuff. No ai jank and try to use image alt.

just the legal fees for deportation proceedings often far exceed $15,000. the price we all pay for a family torn apart is much higher

please help or share if you can

There’s a great Nova episode on the International Space Station. In it, they talk about how something as small as a grain of sand can cause massive damage to the station. And all the billionaires are putting massive amounts of crap in the sky. We need to send them all one-way to Mars.

Tip for next time a medical professional doesn't take you seriously: "Can I get it in writing in my file that you refused to treat my symptoms, please?" It definitely makes people think twice before dismissing you. Stand your ground friends, no one cares more about your health than you do.

My hot take is that I am not impressed by athletes who compete while injured.

It’s not demonstrating anything good for young people who need to learn that bodies have real limits.

I think it takes more self-discipline to recognize when you need to tap out than it does to push through.

Putting out into the world for Black History Month and also in general that an iPad would be incredibly beneficial both for work and recreational accessibility reasons and as much as I have been waiting for a stable moment to focus on that, I do not know when/if that moment will arrive so $0/$700
