NOT DOLLY. NOT NOW.

Two lessons: 1. Efficiency plays that put AI above people will cost you. 2. You need professional writers and editors on staff. Just because AI can generate content, doesn’t mean that content is good and that you can cut corners on due diligence. www.financialexpress.com/world-news/d...

What an ill-conceived logo. And by “ill conceived,” I mean ridiculously unnecessary.

If you didn't want Puerto Ricans speaking Spanish in the US, you should've thought about that before you colonized the island and forcefully made it a part of the US.

Look at Bad Bunny helping these gringos learn Spanish. He can do it all.

With deportation continuing apace amid the federal government shutdown, advocates speculated that the latest scheme to pay off immigrant children was deliberately timed by ICE and its parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, to minimize public attention.

Shortly after Ismael Ayala-Uribe was detained, he became ill with coughing and fevers. Family told the Los Angeles Times that he was given little more than Tylenol as his condition deteriorated, before he died while awaiting surgery on an abscess.

I wrote about Bad Bunny playing the Super Bowl and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see one of our own on that stage. It's resistance and shows that Todavía seguimos aquí. We are still here. Soy de P fucking R. www.thedissident.news/we-are-still...

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted. My story:

“Survivor’s guilt will always question our right to keep going. But just because it’s real doesn’t mean it’s true. Our survival doesn’t erase the experiences we’ve lived through, nor does it mean we’ve stolen someone else’s chance at life...” Read my essay 4 @elephantsandteamag.bsky.social #cansky

I just reached my four year mark and can definitely relate to what you're saying. Although I've had to accept some physical compromises, in a lot of ways I've improved over those four years. I'm far more relaxed, severely empathetic and in general, much happier. Be well.

Next week marks five years since my first cancer diagnosis. In that time—two cancers, two surgeries, radiation, pre-cancer. Everything has changed. But without the version of me who faced it all, I wouldn’t be who I am today. And who I am today will be amazed by what’s ahead. #cansky #oncosky

this exists it is called thinking

A vintage rock 'n' roller who wrote both the rebel anthem "I Fought the Law" and the theme to "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," Sonny Curtis has died at 88.

You can’t explain cancer survivorship with a few well-worded ChatGPT prompts. You can’t “see” me as a survivor if your “honesty” was generated by AI.

The body of 21-year-old Demartravion "Trey" Reed was found on September 15. The family is calling for an independent autopsy. Read more:

Currently, I’m reading 'In the Mouth of the Wolf,' an investigation into the 2012 murder of Regina Martínez Pérez, a Mexican journalist and crime reporter for the center-left pub Proceso. Want to understand what it’s like to live in a country today where the media is controlled? Read this book.

AACR President Lillian Siu, MD, FAACR, explains how the AACR #CancerProgressReport highlights the breakthroughs in precision medicine over the last 15 years, how they have transformed clinical care for patients, and why continued federal investment is critical to sustaining progress.

And people wonder how dictatorships start. THIS IS HOW.

Oh, look, ABC is stifling free speech. This is my shocked face. 😑

NEW: Two men were found hanging from trees in Mississippi on Tuesday—a Black student at Delta State University in Cleveland and a homeless white man in Vicksburg. Police say the deaths aren't connected, but speculation has spread on social media like wildfire.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

A new report warns that the number of US investors in powerful commercial spyware rose sharply in 2024 and names new countries linked to the dangerous technology.

Instead of a public retraction, the Wall Street Journal quietly adjusted its headline. Neither Emma Tucker, the editor-in-chief, nor the two reporters who wrote the original piece responded to my requests for comment. www.advocate.com/news/wall-st...

“‘…Our analysis shows that right-wing actors are significantly more violent than left-wing actors,’ said LaFree, a professor in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice and the founding director of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism.”

Still orienting myself on this platform after 15 yrs on the other one. Looking for my fellow cancer patient advocates / research advocates located in the San Francisco Bay area - who else has made the jump? #bcsm #crcsm #gyncsm #lcsm #cancer #CanSky #OncoSky #OncSky #WhatAreTheCorrectHashtagsNow

Labor Day started with workers in the streets. In 1882, they marched in New York City for fair pay, safer conditions, and shorter hours. By 1894, after strikes turned violent, it became a federal holiday.

AITA for being offended by Italian brain rot? Like, we couldn't put more effort into this culturally problematic viral moment?

AI is not eliminating certain jobs. Business leaders prioritizing passive execution and pure efficiency are eliminating certain jobs. AI cannot make these decisions. Only humans can, and wealthy humans are deciding to screw the workforce. Let’s get the language right.

“The two scariest letters in the business world aren’t A.I., it continues to be P.E.” - A coworker who knows his shit

This is the vibe.

#Cansky here’s my video where I spoke at the World GU Conference. I had to trim it a bit, but I hope it provided doctors and researchers there with a clear vision of their “why”. #Oncsky #Medsky

I started writing this short story out of nowhere. One small interaction led to an imaginary conversation that spiraled into a new work of fiction. This story is not finished by any means, so I’ve decided to release it in parts. Welcome to Part 1. (And subscribe. I need friends.)

My son started 5th grade today. My friend asked how I felt. This is how I feel.

I have a thing for red flags, apparently. My latest poetry for Substack, if you're into that kind of thing. (See? I'm not all-cancer, all-the-time)

For years people said it was a gross exaggeration to label Nazism and its associated viewpoints within the modern conservative movement and especially online. Now Nazis are openly thriving and their rhetoric is impossible to avoid and many of the people who downplayed it are saying nothing at all

“Is it surprising that Trump’s stormtroopers are acting with impunity? The past nine months have taught us no... But is it shocking to see a man—someone’s family member, someone’s friend, someone’s neighbor—being brutalized by agents who are fully aware they’re being watched and recorded? Yes.”

Me: “Do you want to see my new sneakers?” Son: “Oh, those are super nice.” Me: “Right? I know.” Son: “You got some driiiipppp.” Me: “Don’t.”

One of the most exhausting things about cancer survivorship? How getting a CT scan for something not related to cancer can exhaust you can completely. #oncosky #cansky

“They no longer treat me like I am human. A human has flaws. A human can be weak. But I… I am their warrior— their cancer warrior. I have battled the worst… the worst a person could imagine. And I have come out unscathed…” 👇🏼More of my new poem for @elephantsandteamag.bsky.social #oncosky #cansky
