This is a very good point, and something I need to keep at the front of my mind. Even if there was somehow a magic use case for LLMs and other AI bullshit machines, that would not justify:

• Making fascists rich.
• Displacing labor rights.
• Fucking over the environment.
• Enclosing culture […]

this is, quite genuinely and documentably, an agitprop operation funded by white supremacist billionaire men with the singular aim of sowing division in the electorate

you would just have zero understanding of that reading 95% of journalism

it genuinely feels surreal to me

7. Dr. Maulana Karenga wrote extensively about Kwanzaa but personally I feel saying he "invented Kwanzaa" misses some of the significance of the holiday.

There's really interesting social science on how white people significantly overestimate the number of people of color in a room or in a picture. A room with, like, 20% POC will be perceived as majority POC.
White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.
85% of CEOs are white men.

All but one US President has been a white man.

65% of all elected offices are held by white men.

Roughly 30% of the population is white men.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TOPIC EVEN???

This really is Bari Weiss' job, which is why I think it's funny when people feel compelled to say something like "she doesn't understand journalism."

These folks aren't there to understand journalism, they're there to encourage controversy infighting and division in the electorate

I know many of you who follow me don't work in climate science, but this is the biggest story in climate right now. Breaking up NCAR makes us all less safe and is another act of self-harm that will take decades to recover from.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.

Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Unbelievable.

In a society that truly values babies, postpartum moms would be surrounded by care and support. First time mom Nayra Guzmán certainly found herself surrounded earlier this year. But it was by ICE agents who arrested her for the crime of being brown.
