Looks like Ring cancelling the Flock partnership is helping alter the narrative. Headline after headline reads “Amazon cancels partnership with surveillance company” when a more accurate read is that 2 surveillance companies pause proposed partnership.

I mean yeah 100s of billions of dollars can build a lot of stuff. Build it in the city center tho and just tear down the warehouses

Follow The Rooster to watch him chisel away at Wexner's buddies, while we all wait patiently for that day when OSU finally tears his and his wife's names off everything

Don't be romantic listening to Joe Vann on your way home on the subway at 1am level: impossible

Do you guys think the "No Kings" protests hurt Lebron's feelings

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message: - the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next - a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

These are concentration camps and its our duty as citizens to ensure these things don't get built.

It's happening!! Get that Wexner name off of everything!! Donate his money!!

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

“You’re not alone. You have support of your fellow workers in your company and across the industry. It’s time we take responsibility for how our products are used for surveillance and violence.”

I spoke with Alex from @notechforapartheid.bsky.social, which is behind the petition, and other employees who feel similarly: Google's hardline posture, summary firing of employees who protested the company's contracts with the Israeli military, and recent layoffs, have created a climate of fear.

I honestly didn't know Daily Kos still existed, but they have an excellent write-up of Tuesday's attack on a gadfly journalist by a member of OSU's legally mandated center for conservative politics, putting it in useful context

BREAKING: We have now received 1200 signatures on our petition of Google workers demanding that the company cut its ties with DHS, CBP, and ICE. ARE YOU A GOOGLE WORKER? Sign the petition at googlers-against-ice.com

Duck Duck Go has alot of AI shit but they’ve very intentionally made all of it a thing where they go “do you want to use our AI shit? Here is how to turn the AI shit off” and just that little bit of basic customer respect goes a long way

really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement

Re: Minnesota I think it's important to both recognize they're lying about a full retreat and recognize it as a victory that they're cognizant enough of the PR disaster to feel the need to lie.

im gonna be the first person to perfectly articulate a complex thought that addresses every single avenue of approach and leaves out no edge cases in 300 characters or less. many millions have been trying to do this for years. all of them wasted, because i'm about to do it for the first time

The left needs to take job loss seriously? Hi there! 👋 We've been in this conversation for years, maybe you didn't know? We know about the layoffs (first-hand!). We're also aware of the deterioration of knowledge, skill, expertise, never mind *quality* of products and services AI companies cause 3/

Hey @transit.app I mistakenly clicked on the Brooklyn address the first time I was searching, and now every time I go back to select the New York, NY address it still routes me to Brooklyn instead of the Manhattan address I'm tapping on.

I've been working on a "dogs are tools of fascism" take but I don't think the world is ready for it yet

anyway, i drew this for the nib in march 2023 lol

I have a new goal come spring time

I find this question about whether chatbots are “alive” to be truly, truly boring. You can torture a definition of “life” so that it includes chatbots or you can listen to actual, unequivocal flesh-and-blood people talking about harm it does them *right now*.

The potential for upheaval is precisely why economic elites wield AI as a weapon to threaten workers, even as we've seen time and again that AI cannot actually replace what humans do. You can take these dynamics seriously without buying into the framing of the people doing the threatening.

10 years ago they told us AI and self-driving cars were going to wipe out up to half of all jobs. They didn’t. But while everyone was talking about whether they would, companies rolled out algorithmic management and used digital tech as a pretext to reclassify workers as contractors.

There is not a 1 in 10 chance that AI replaces most white collar jobs in the next 10 years

Unfortunately I know quite a few details of how these types of blobs might be deleted on Google's cloud services and yeah it can take a while to truly be gone.

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet: www.404media.co/with-ring-am...

Nobody tell them or they’ll make us go through TSA just to ride the dang train.

Let’s recap just the past day at Ohio State University: 1) The head of their ObGyn department was found to be getting quarterly payments from international child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein 2) OSU’s top donor was confirmed to be a co-conspirator of Epstein’s 3) Now this. 👇

Abolish

After Citi Bike is shut down due to snow, Lyft is contractually obligated to make the bike stations "reasonably free of snow within 5 hours" of the system coming back online. The bike share system reopened on January 26 — more than two weeks ago.

Everybody needs to learn the story of the Luddites

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.

As the negotiations over DHS budget continue, please remember: the ICE detention budget alone was exploded in 2025 so it is now 62% greater than the entire Bureau of Prisons. People are not clocking what this infusion of cash to build concentration camps will do to our society.

Reminder that the purpose of Ring cameras is not actually to find lost dogs

This is why it's helpful to call it "car storage" instead of "parking."

Unfortunately, New Albany is Epstein City. But Ohio State could easily be Epstein University.

Nah fuck that

Hmmm I'm not an expert on this stuff but I feel like a lot has been written about how white supremacy and such ideologies always turn inward and also hurt the in-group. i.e., this phenomenon is not "above white supremacy" but a well known direct result of the white supremacist project

I'm dumb and did not know this

Yeah I’m looking for my dog (girlfriend who has a restraining order against me and she has a dog) and here’s the picture of the dog (she walks this dog and I can use it to figure out her schedule) thanks for sending all footage my way

Holding us accountable for the shameful failure to restore power to PR

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade. The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances. Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S. Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

This is our Super Bowl commercial.
