Every member of Five Eyes should have stopped communicating with the US as soon as we failed to hold him accountable for the stolen documents at Mar-a-lago. There is a high probability that any information they share with us will be sent directly to Putin.

Not a peace plan: but a corrupt deal in the tradition of Ribbentrop-Molotov and Yalta.
The definitive piece on this proposal.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Please share. If anyone is to be quoted after Trumps despicable speech, minimizing Jamal Kashoggi's torture and execution, its her.
Thank you.
Thank you.
My first piece for @theguardian.com on MBS’s visit to the U.S., seven years after Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.
Trump’s America is beginning to look like MBS’s Saudi Arabia— which Jamal warned me about.

Jamal Khashoggi’s plight and murder was a warning sign for the US, of the impending loss of freedom and censorship that would sweep the country

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Media not at all curious whether Trump’s demand for countries to spend a greater share of GDP on defence is just donor service for the arms industry, just as his withdrawal of the US from the Paris climate treaty served the fossil fuel industry. He’s a spiv and a mobster. Why not just say it??

My recent work has consisted largely of going through dusty archives and reading typed and handwritten documents that mostly aren't on the internet, tromping through the woods to make sense of things, and making connections and novel arguments, none of which AI can do. /thread
There is nearly nothing I do for work that AI can do. And even those very few things that theoretically could be done by AI shouldn't be, because me doing them gives me insight that an AI can't have, and that insight informs my work.
