Again, speed cameras make a lot of sense as a solution to police using traffic as a pretext for racist exploitation/violence. Issue is entrusting these systems to the police only reintroduces the very problems of the police in the first place.

Hell yeah. I have been saying this for years now. Malls are perfect to convert to living spaces. Live/work, mixed use, elder care with dignity, there’s so many great use cases for mall layouts.

Why did Sam Altman and Jony Ive just release a 10-minute video advertising a new product when they don’t have a product yet? BECAUSE IT WAS BEGINNING TO FEEL LIKE PROGRESS IN AI WAS SLOWING DOWN.

GWU is investigating this student for her grad speech— "I cannot celebrate my own graduation without a heavy heart knowing how many students in Palestine have been forced to stop their studies, expelled from their homes, and killed for simply remaining in the country of their ancestors." Excerpt:

This is Taylor’s best yet imo. The time spent unpacking early 2020 is an excellent reminder of just what a more community focused nation might look like here in the US.

New report: “BART’s focus on fare evasion recovers minimal revenue, may be addressing an overstated problem, and is not effective at curbing incidents that make riders feel uneasy in the system” Last part will be an inconvenient truth for some carceral urbanists on here

Charlotte recently got DoorDash drone delivery and it’s starting around my house and let me tell you, these things fucking suck for a billion reasons. But wow, call me old, the noise is super annoying.

For anyone who needs some GOOD news, Nottoway Plantation—burial site of countless victims of the rape, maiming, and slaughter of the formerly enslaved but where white people love to brunch & get married—has burned to the ground. May the ancestors continue to rest peacefully. Amen.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey mayor is arrested at ICE detention center where he was protesting its opening, acting US attorney says.

This is most certainly the raptors touching the first amendment fence.

I am honestly speechless. Every university administrator at Columbia is accountable for this.

I’ll never understand why millennials act this way. Let young people have “being cool” it’s literally all you get when you’re young. For folks at near or beyond 40 stop caring about this stuff.

Alt text, because that’s what Mr. Rogers would do.

Maybe this year for Christmas the Red Sea will only get two fighter jets instead of thirty.

Oh yeah, but please tell me more about how this tech should infuse every aspect of education.

Yep. Because if it's magical power they don't have to pay you for it.

We are 100% building a new internet with even more duct tape and an even higher maintenance burden, meanwhile CEOs think LLMs are set-it-and-forget-it

I’ve seen enough: JB Pritzker has THE JUICE

The really annoying thing here is the inevitable framing of this as a heartwarming story that all involved are proud of bringing to reality, instead of something dark and shameful that everyone should be drawing as little attention to as possible.

The new film “Sinners” is a symphony of vampire bites, gunshot wounds, and people being staked in the heart and left to burn alive, @adamserwer.bsky.social writes. But the true horror is the Jim Crow economy, which drives every event in the film.

I should have been clearer: the shit you buy from CVS also comes from China but that's not what I'm concerned about. The reason we can consume a diet high in processed foods and not die of acute vitamin/mineral shortages is we fortify our food.

I haven't really seen this raised but most of our vitamins come from China. Not Just like the ones we get from cvs the ones we use to fortify our foods.

At this point I'm honestly just calling my reps and bluntly saying you're old between the two of us I'm the one more likely to survive an ecoli infection. Maybe do something about this.

the death of 3rd spaces has done untold amount of damage to humanity. Many will blame technology like tv or the internet and online shopping. But the real culprit has and always will be adults getting annoyed at kids hanging out.

Wil someone explain this to me? I haven’t ever seen an AI employee before and from what I’ve seen tasking folks with managing AI outputs requires them to spend more time QA-ing low quality work vs spending time doing higher value work.

Couldn’t make opening weekend but finally saw Sinners today and wow. Incredible on so many levels. One thing I haven’t seen enough of is praise for Wunmi Mosaku’s performance. She crushed that shit. Loved her in lovecraft country too.

One aspect of this that must be clearly understood is that AI has no agency. It's a digital representation of the written history of a language that algorithmically generates output from input. If any real children interacted with these, it was Facebook employees, as individuals, who abused them.

Yep it’s really fucked up. A lot was stolen for us. I can’t believe this is the shit I’m dealing with as I’m entering my another life phase

When does the general strike start, America? 🤯

You can't "individual responsibility" your way out of food safety issues, folks. Or for any other goddamn thing for that matter.

How did we get from "Do not use Wikipedia as a source" to "ask hallucinating chatbot everything"?

My name is Ben and I have autism. I’m not less than anyone else I just see the world differently. Lately I’ve been working on losing weight by walking. I walked 5 miles yesterday. It’s also helps with my confidence and I can enjoy the outdoors and the scenery.

I’m going to keep saying it but if an “author” can’t be bothered to write no one should bother to read.

My favorite sign from the Albany #HandsOff rally.

One of the things that should have been an object lesson from 2020 is that unemployed and underemployed people very quickly find ways to use the time

North Carolinians, check to see if your vote for Riggs was thrown out. You have 2 weeks to correct it!

Affirmative action for white people goes way back. Headright instituted in 1618 gave 50 acres to European settlers for each head of household. Later it expanded to include indentured servants and slaves. White people were given land that didn’t belong to them since before this country was founded.

Bwahahahahaha. I love my truck
