ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”

For years, Robert cared for his severely disabled child while holding down a job at a local juvenile detention center. Now, Robert is retired and his 41-year-old-son relies on Medicaid for full-time care.

Professional sports drafts are a totally unfair labor practice that’s probably contributing greatly towards many blinkered ideas around labor that hold popular sway throughout the US…but Cooper Flagg baby!

No one told me how stupid it’d be living under fascism. Yeah, it’s dangerous. Certainly, many fascists wouldn’t be fascists if they were taught to use critical thinking. But it’s also a parade of clowns turning cruelty into policy & calling it common sense. I wish we could have thoughtful convos.

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity.
ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.
