I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

what is the internet but the evolutionary *curtain that the tech-wizards of Oz are hiding behind* 🤦
Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”
It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines
During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Please, please, please, don’t try to engage your Black coworkers in “organic dialogue” about their struggles. That’s a fucking nightmare.
I'm pretty sure I'm right. Most folks learn about other people's struggles through organic dialogue entered into willingly and with trust, and are quite fairly distrustful and offended when their bosses demand such vulnerability at work -- doubly so when they farm it out to contract lecturers
That’s wild cause Black people were just trying to go to work without dealing with racism, sorry you had to endure that tho

Not to age myself, but CatDog was after my time as a kid. My only thought was not of whimsy or fun, but of the horrific implications of a digestive tract that is only inputs with no apparent outlet.
That freak has an awful poop secret I don't want to think about, ever, thanks.

What if we as a society gave trans kids the kind of support that kids with cancer and other life-threatening conditions are often given? What if we supported kids and their families through things that are frightening and hard?

Everyone here loves posting Douglass’ “What to the Slave is the 4th of July” but read it - really read it. It’s dark and clear-eyed about the state of things, and yet its ending is hopeful. It has no illusions. The space state at the time seemed almost unbeatable but his point was that he had to try

I taught a class on “hope” last year and the few theorists who’ve written on it all point out that hope is the harder choice - that despair is easy and too often fashionable
Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.
