Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while I’m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.

We're starting the livestream a little later this morning because @devindra.bsky.social spent most of yesterday traveling home from a work trip!

We're talking about the Netflix/WarnerBrosDiscovery/Paramount debacle is bad for everyone except shareholders at 11am!

Another way to interpret this: The Washington Post endorses re-segregation of American society.

The Globe uncovered new details about the ICE detention of Rümeysa Öztürk. Here are takeaways. - The Boston Globe Legal documents and interviews shed new light on the Tufts graduate student’s arrest, journey out of Massachusetts, and ongoing fight to stay in the US.

“We are not monsters,” a federal agent told Öztürk at one point. “We do what the government tells us.”

The Matrix is a Christmas movie pass it on.

A New York Times headline that reads: "Calibri’s Run-In With Rubio Wasn’t Its First Controversy."

Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

Don’t worry though, Zuck is also done apologizing for anything

I’m so sorry. Please share info privately if you’re up for it, just so I know who to avoid (and put on a shitlist)

Jesus what

Oh buddy, prepare for fun and random orientalism

I currently work a four-day work week and it is so much better.

Oh yah, was also perfect on the subway during this trip

I'm guessing it won't shock anyone to hear I'm massively stoked (and very relieved) to read this news
