The exit economy is here. Black Women are paying the highest price This isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. And it's not a recovery, it's a redistribution of opportunity.

Oh, just a typo I found in the closed captioning of the day job project I’m working on.

It's just two parallel realities: one for an executive class so enraptured by the promise of labor savings that creative departments are pushed into creating AI slop, and one for everyone else, who view the slop with their own eyes and are repulsed by the rank aesthetics of automation

McDonald's Pulls Down AI-Generated Holiday Ad After Deluge of Mockery McDonald's Netherlands is catching flak for a stupefying AI-generated video, which was roundly condemned on social media.

It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

People hate AI slop!

Over 1600 VHS tapes of Basketball NBA & NCAA $123 Listed a day ago in Philadelphia, PA @ Message a a Details Condition Used - Good Games from 1988-2024. My cousin was an avid basketball fan and has years of taped games. NBA, WNBA, NCAA, and even some volleyball. Regular season, Playoffs, Finals to all star games. Looking for someone who would appreciate this insane collection of games. About 16 crates of tapes Philadelphia, PA

If you are near Philadelphia, have 123 dollars, and roughly 28 cubic feet of space to store 1,600 VHS tapes in reasonably climate controlled conditions until I can get up there, I will retrieve this collection of almost guaranteed vital archival value and digitize its entirety.

Disinformation is everywhere but these tools are targeted just like corner liquor stores to specific zip codes.

RFK Jr.’s Deepening Threat to Public Health The current HHS Secretary is the most dangerous in U.S. history.

I was pleased to again partner with virologist @jimalwine.bsky.social on this piece about the continued, insidious assault on public health by RFK Jr.

We are truly on a bullet train back to the dark ages; prisoners to Kennedy’s bizarre whims.

He is contemptible.
