The thing about “AI-related layoffs” is that the macroeconomic conditions for the layoffs already existed.
People are attempting to make up the difference with AI. They would have done the layoffs anyway.

For the record: I don’t believe it’s a national security issue to protect any politician if they’re a pedophile.

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.
Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Crazy the kind of stuff citizens get when republicans control every branch of the govt.
The current government shutdown is now officially the longest in U.S. history, surpassing the 35-day shutdown of President Trump’s first term. The impact of the shutdown, having lasted 35 full days, has already been felt across the country. nyti.ms/3Xaygvt

The DNC being terrified that a progressive mayor might win NYC is so starkly indicative of how centrist the establishment is. There is no Left at the national level.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

There’s something interesting about the stock market and private interests in the 2020 decade that… the government doesn’t matter. It’s toothless. Regulation is toast. The FTC/SEC are non-factors. The IRS is pointless at scale. There’s no end to the corporate dystopia. The people have lost.

Descent was unbelievable. I am so glad to have lived through that era as a child so I could look at it and wonder with a fully open mind to it.

Countries with women leaders tend to be better run, but not because women are better leaders. Women can be trash too.
Countries with women leaders tend to be better run, because if your country is too sexist to elect women about 1/2 the time, then it's not selecting leaders on talent.🤷🏿♂️

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.
