ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”

That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

So much for freedom of speech and expression.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

in america you can either vote for the party that wants to make things worse or the party that wants to do absolutely nothing and if you try to build a coalition that makes things better they send the cops to kill you in your sleep

Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a “weakness.” “Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.

You can't make this up.

Oh, sorry he’s just making the homeless move by having the police throw their shit away and he’s only against trans people under 25, that’s on me.

A weird palm-sized ceramic thing - maybe an ornament, as there is a hook on top. It is vaguely flower shaped, with a lot of colors that don't all blend well together. There is a message stamped into it in black letters of various fonts that says "still better than AI". There are some other vague shapes stamped into it, as well as a sad face carved into it, and the word "Boo" in parentheses at the end of the statement.

Behold, my creation from my first pottery class a month ago.

What is its use? I have no idea. But I made it all on my own, so it's still better than AI slop.

one of these days i really will lose it and comment on a linkedin guy's stupid post "this still won't make your dad love you"

Sandwich guy escapes indictment due to jury nullification!

Exclusive: Ilhan Omar condemns party's reversal of Minneapolis mayoral endorsement The reversal sent shockwaves through the Democratic party on Thursday.

It is inexcusable to overturn the DFL endorsement from Omar Fateh.

A small group, a majority living outside Minneapolis, met privately to overturn the will of Minneapolis delegates who volunteered, organized, and participated in a months-long DFL process.

Sitting in a town hall at work rn hearing the CEO saying "AI is coming whether or not we're ready". I've been very outspoken in all our team meetings about all the issues with AI. It's a good thing they value "diverse opinions" bc I have many of them 🙃😂

The Black Panthers didn't mock people for their lack of education. They taught people how to read

A lot of people need to hear this

Screenshot from Instagram post by khawlaibrah that reads: "Since the fall of the criminal Assad regime, Al-Julami/3 followers have unleashed a campaign of terror against civilians across Syria-targeting minority communities, including my own people. In the recent months, Druze villages have been systematically threatened, attacked, and ethnically cleansed. Families, elders, children-have been brutalized simply for existing. Few miles from my home, my people are being slowly and mercilessly slaughtered. Near the Shouting Hill, where families have long shouted across the border We now stand daily in silence, as our people are slaughtered. We stand at the edge, not only of land, but of longing. Between the silence and cries, we stand Heartbroken, we stand enraged filled with despair. But we also stand bravely. We stand together. We stand unshaken in our love for those we have lost- and those who shall remain."

From my friend Khawla Ibraheem (Druze from the occupied Golan Heights):

I liked how he kept implying that candidates who actually care about the city's residents and what we want are only doing so because it's "politically expedient".

Don't let these exciting Minneapolis DFL endorsements distract you from the fact that we overwhelmingly passed resolutions supporting municipal BDS and protecting the great blue heron rookery on the Mississippi.

‘Disgusting’ study rating attractiveness of women with endometriosis retracted by medical journal Fertility and Sterility took seven years to take down Italian study, which was criticised by doctors for ethical concerns and dubious justifications

This got NO TRACTION, even on BLUESKY?

They did a scientific study of endometriosis.

GREAT! About time!

2013, christ, will women’s health ever be taken seriously?

APPARENTLY NOT.

It measured the ATTRACTIVENESS of women with endometriosis.

What the FUCK.

DFL chair richard carlbom gives a unifying speech, says we are a big tent party and names democratic socialists as being part of it. this is a big deal after an org chaired by CD5 chair scott graham sought to disallow endorsements by DFL and DSA, making socialists feel purged
