Your company is not promoting from within because you 🫡🏿 not training, not developing

You don’t believe in you

Meta is trash and no one should buy these surveillance/cop glasses.

What privacy? Meta's smart glasses are filming unwitting naked people Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses are a privacy nightmare, with footage of naked people, sensitive information, and violent acts captured and seen by Meta's AI and an army of employees.

Buried lede: Meta sends all your nudes to Kenya where humans annotate it and feed it to AI

I agree with no time changes, but AM sun in winter is wayyyy more important than having sundown at 23:30 rather than 22:30 in July. We tried permanent spring-forward in the 70s and gave up after one winter

Nonononono. Standard time, not permanent daylight time, is the way. Permanent daylight time will mean the sun doesn't come up until after 9am in December, and it will still go down before you're home from work

Rather than deal with institutional racism and instructor bias, just make POC students ask questions to the robot while white students get human teachers.

"mounjaro pen" is a correct and precise description of the injector device, but it makes me imagine people vaping their GLP-1s

i did a training that said β€œdon’t upload export controlled data to unapproved AI platforms”

THE EASIEST WAY TO AVOID THIS IS TO JUST NOT. USE. AI!!!

β€œConstitution destroyed in plane crash” feels like a VEEP joke that they scrapped for going too far.

I just want everyone to know that this recent moral panic/pogrom against trans people is a new thing.

Sure, there was transphobia back then, but not in the way that you see now. Not like "you can't show These People On Television As Main Characters".

It had a scene a little like this, but with the head of the news division.

I'm mad occasionally because I wrote a play as an undergrad, 15 years ago or so, in the Before Times, about an actual journalist with integrity trying to take down a Bari Weiss/Roger Ailes type Murdoch-ifying a network news division.

Lost the manuscript. Then Sorkin dropped "The Newsroom."

You'll never get checks or a debit card for a savings account, because one is designed for longer-term cash storage (with higher interest rates because the bank can count on that cash to lend out more reliably) and t'other is designed for daily transactions in and out

Savings accounts are set up for infrequent withdrawals, usually with a higher interest rate. Sometimes there's a penalty for withdrawing too frequently. Checking accounts are set up to spend from freely, either by check, debit card, or ACH, usually with a lower interest rate

i think my wife's explanatory model, "donald trump remembers the 1980s and '90s far, far better than anything that has happened in this century, especially after 6 p.m.," offers us a useful analytical tool here

Please, please end your partnership with OpenAI, @rweingarten.bsky.social @aft.org. In addition to everything else, given all that we know, it seems incredibly likely that that company is going to funnel student input straight into government surveillance files.

Blame? No. But having her there didn't stop it. That's what I'm saying.

And when the legislature overturned the veto, her administration sent the letters with her name on the letterhead. There's always a path for taking a principled stand. It's not always through exercising formal authority, but it's always there.

What's happened in Kansas is a perfect reminder of why you'd better not let me catch you stumping for Newsom. Trans people are not expendable, and Kansas has a Democrat in Cedar Crest.

With Democrats like these, who needs enemies.
