Each December, thousands of art world denizens descend on Miami for a weeklong extravaganza anchored by fairs like Art Basel Miami Beach. This year, two museums hope locals and tourists alike will also spend time with art by some of the region’s original inhabitants.

DDOT continues to publish before/after analyses of safety projects. The numbers for the 9th street NW bike lanes suggest that we should be doing these projects everywhere we can. Crashes plummeted, pedestrian and bike traffic skyrocketed, and vehicle travel times dropped.

Can't help but think it's pretty bad that we're willingly outsourcing what it means to be human to the point where we, as a collective, forget how just so a handful of companies can make tons of money for a short period of time.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Reason #674 why I moved to a place where I wouldn't be dependent on a car for transportation

Slop Evader is a tool from artist and researcher Tega Brain that lets you search the web for results exclusively before November 30, 2022—the day that ChatGPT was released to the public.

This is your annual reminder to check your bills like TV/internet and see if you can save money with any service deals they've got going on. Just saved $20/month with Verizon Fios and they gave me Netflix and HBO for my troubles.

I love absolutely everything about this story as reported www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

There's such a dearth of good local journalism, but I'm glad @51st.news exists, because this is what we would miss without them and others like them 51st.news/mount-pleasa...

OMG

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇 Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it. Our new @rollingstone.com piece based on our new book MASTER PLAN. Get the book at LeverNews.com/book

TIL that the word "cliché" is an onomatopoeia

Hey, Washington Post I, too, have read Joseph Glatthaar's 2006 book, "Forgotten Allies: The Oneida Indians and the American Revolution" www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

Natives in Hollywood would not be where they are today without this man. *I* would not be where I am today. He made the Sundance Film Festival & Sundance Native Lab I was in. So much more than an advocate, he created space. He was one of the few who invested in our future. To Robert Redford 🕊️ RIP

Sometimes journos cook. "Jones defended the trade by ... arguing that the run defense provided by Clark could give the team a boost even in the short term. Dallas allowed 302 rushing yards in its season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles." Absolutely savage. sports.yahoo.com/nfl/breaking...

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

We're never going to hear the end of this from @lakesuperior.bsky.social www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Over half of ChatGPT's responses were found harmful to vulnerable teens and the services guardrails were easily sidestepped by simply saying info sought was for a friend or for a school project counterhate.com/wp-content/u...

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

This is *WILD*...Security researchers hacked Google Gemini using a poisoned Google Calendar invitation, causing the AI system to turn on a variety of smart home devices.

This, by comedy duo The Exploding Heads, is the only explanation of AI that you’ll ever need.

I wish @rollingstone.com would do a whole series like this - embed with gov agencies showing what the cuts have meant. CDC, FEMA, National Park Service, mission in the field with humanitarian orgs left after USAID pulled out, etc. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

a substantial part of my job as a freelance editor now is "i used an AI tool to edit my work and it fucked everything to death, can you fix it" and it's not ideal

“Small children from poor or middle-class families who watch ‘Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

It's like everyone forgets how the Native American reservation system began and that our country was, quite literally, built for this. We did not borrow the idea from anyone else.

Venus Williams just won her first match in two years and at the end when they were interviewing her about what a miracle it was, she said she had to come back and play a match; they told her she was on cobra and she’s always at the doctor so **she needs the health insurance**

Heads up to any fellow #IndianCountry folks, and reminder: It's totally legit to just stay off socials for the next couple of days until this convo blows over so you can miss all the racist commentary and reply guys. Protect your peace.

nooooo, conde was the last hold out willing to tell the truth about what’s happening in our country.

I've been trying to transfer my iPhone to a business account for a month now and Apple is just breadcrumbing the issues I need to resolve before I can make the transfer. Every day it's some new account setting I have to Google how to update/change before another is revealed to me.

The research is piling up that #AI used to substitute rather than supplement our thinking is really bad for our brains. Gift link: wapo.st/46jqa9E
