As you lay in bed tonight, remember: nothing can take your ability to care. Even in what may feel like or darkest hour, there is always the capacity to do the right thing and share the right to humanity. It’s our shared superpower and when we all unite, nothing can stop us

This is a perilous moment for lawyers in federal service.
Stories of resistance from within can help.
This book tells of lawyers who helped run the Japanese American camps of WWII.
We can learn from their struggles to reconcile job with conscience.
Would you please share?

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product.

Google Quietly Installed A.I. to My Workspace. Getting Rid of It Was Creepy.
Opting out should not be a premium feature. It’s a basic right.

This is just fucking embarrassing. Performative useless nonsense.
Ah, so this is pure bullshit: "A senior Biden administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the White House’s plans, said Biden was not directing the archivist to certify the amendment, sidestepping what could have become a legal battle over the separation of powers."
Biden says the Equal Rights Amendment should be considered ratified
President Joe Biden says the Equal Rights Amendment should be considered a ratified addition to the U.S. Constitution.

if you’re a person who enjoys art but doesn’t create it you have no idea how many of your faves are in their artist group chats talking about how much more they’d be able to create if we had universal basic income
if you want artists to make weirder art, you have to create stable living conditions that allow them to. homogeneity isn't a matter of artists lacking culture-- there are many soulful artists out there-- it's a matter of unregulated corporate dominance combined with artists who cant afford to create

Baek Sehee, the author of I WANT TO DIE BUT I WANT TO EAT TTEOKBOKKI, and I did an interview together 💜
Super rare—Sehee almost never does interviews and this was her first international appearance despite having sold 10 million copies worldwide (that’s not an exaggeration!).
