Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while I’m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.

When we talk about physical media, we are often only taking about personal collections but a big part of shunning the current digital ecosystem is supporting your local library. Not just for print books and periodicals but for movies, games and other medias too. Get. A. Library. Card.

I think it’s time for artist’s signatures on film posters to make a comeback, it feels sad not knowing who made the art on a great poster. And not disclosing the artist only aids in devaluing labor, cutting corners + trying to sneak in genai use.
Great signed example: Amsterdamned by Renato Casaro.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

It's sobering to think back to a few years after 2018, when the world was like "YAWN! Another Japanese gore film? BORING. Haven't we gotten enough of these?" and now I'd fall over myself to watch something new that's this imaginative and filled with practical special effects.

National Geographic's "Ocean with David Attenborough" is a fantastic documentary. I watched it last night on Hulu. If you like BBC Earth type stuff I highly recommend it. It is both uplifting in its positivity for the future but also a dire warning about what could happen if industry is unchecked.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

ICE arrests of immigrants with no criminal records are spiking. (Hat-tip to @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social on the data.) I wrote about how this overlaps with the "we didn't vote for this" discourse.
