“The researchers aim to show that the ‘inevitability’ of AI is just a marketing frame perpetrated by the industry and that pushback is a lot more possible than we often see.” Yes!

A rare happy story: The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has restored its holdings of the works of the enslaved potter David Drake to his descendants, following the pattern of Holocaust art restitution, the first time a museum has restored a work produced by an enslaved person.

Here's a question for you. In an 1838 letter, a man felt bad for two friends whose wives had some kind of condition. What is the condition he's referring to? Then he describes his wife as vegetatively powerful (fertile)? This is my greatx3 grandfather talking about my namesake, Julie Bayrhoffer.

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

The government is shut down, costing us $15 billion a week. Congress can’t meet because then a new member would join, democracy would be fulfilled, and the GOP can’t let that happen. Nearly half the historic White House has been destroyed. Private funds are paying troops. GOP rule sure is great!

LAWCHA Statement on the Unjust Firing of Professor Thomas Alter

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

Don’t let this die. Keep elevating this.

Observe the emerging alliance between fascism and an ossified Democratic Party leadership: Cuomo meets with Trump to plot the anti-Mamdani campaign. Which Demo leaders will condemn this?

I love Lincoln Nebraska and I love this woman. 💕
