Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.

I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

The Nonprofit Doing the AI Industry’s Dirty Work The web archive Common Crawl has been quietly funneling paywalled articles to AI companiesβ€”and lying to publishers about it.

This article is really great bc it's about an org everyone knows but seems so boring we forget about it (Common Crawl) and turns out they're doing something extremely shady, AND the guy in charge keeps saying the most damning things to a reporter www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

MAGA’s β€œVoter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There. A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.

SCOOP β€” Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years.

We're about to find out if Silicon Valley owns Gavin Newsom A guide to the AI and tech bills that have passed the California legislature, and await the governor's signature β€” or veto.

This has been pushed to the background, but pay attention:

Right now, a stack of bills aimed at reining in AI companies and big tech sits on Gavin Newsom's desk in California. These are the bills Silicon Valley and the GOP tried to ban outright. Now they await Newsom's signatureβ€”or veto.

Lemme spell it out. Trump's only leverage over Jimmy Kimmel and ABC came from FCC regulation. His direct power over H1-B visas gives him similar leverage over tech, higher ed, and others.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

So I'm going to be doing a Corsi-Rosenthal box build demonstration at the Oak Park library branch (San Diego) tomorrow at 3pm if anybody is interested. I will give away as much in materials as I can afford which is probably like 3 small boxes, but hopefully this will help someone, somewhere

All of the unions in Hollywood should immediately boycott Disney/ABC. They only care about money, so go after that.

This is an escalation, but admin has already been using gov’t power to crack down on media for a while. I know first hand. But, you have to defend free speech, not fold. (We are still fighting, but so far this lesson is standing firm better than caving).

There are ways to see sports without paying ESPN a dime. It requires some searching (try reddit) and some technical hurdles, but it can be done.

CANCEL your basic cable package if you have one. Hit them in their wallets, it's the only fucking thing they care about.

Hit where it really hurts, their fucking wallet. If you have one, cancel your monthly cable subscription.

If you are paying for a basic cable package, you are sending money monthly to Fox news, ABC, CBS and the rest of those cowards, whether you watch those channels or not. STOP IT! Cancel your monthly TV plan right now. Can you can still get internet through your provider without a TV package.

At this point, everyone needs to #cancelcable and stop watching network TV.
