oh man, the Walker Art Center is going to be closed on Friday
(If you're not from the Twin Cities, this is like MoMA closing in support of a general strike—a very big deal)

I am reupping my idea that we tell all these weird ass tech billionaires that the first one of them to step on Mars (them personally. Not a crew they send) can have it.
And once they enter space we casually turn off the comms.

Love all the measuring the space I am sitting in and when I ask if we have a timeline of when I will need to move the department I get “don’t worry, we will let you know”
Which is not reassuring from people that routinely give me “this needs to be done yesterday”

“So you heard the news that the library workspace is being moved right?”
Do we have any kind of timeline?
“No, but you will have plenty of time. It probably won’t be for a month. Maybe 6 weeks”

Early results from NYC’s guaranteed income pilot show what’s possible when we invest in young people.
“Cash with Care,” a $1.5M Council-funded initiative in collaboration with Covenant House NY and Chapin Hall, is helping homeless youth secure stable housing and pursue their life goals.

His name is DAVID EASTERWOOD and he’s not just “reportedly associated,” he’s the Acting Director of the ICE Field Office here.
They want to be badass warrior spies with no mercy, no rules until they face the *tiniest* bit of accountability, then they cry like babies who got their juice box stolen.

VAN SUSTEREN: The church -- that's a particularly troubling issue because you got a pastor, I purposely didn't name it, he's reportedly associated with ICE
NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them

It is so important to have at least one wildly named group chat that is pure unhinged fandom/meme silliness right now. Literally load bearing.

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.
