Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

Folks looking for evidence of SNAP recipients as welfare queens have no shortage of AI generated schlock to use as justification.

I produced this Press Play two-parter on Housing First - which broadly is the idea that unhoused people should be given housing whether or not they are sober. We spoke to the inventor of housing first, Sam Tsemberis, and then a formerly unhoused woman who got sober in a housing first program

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.

Last thing to note since everyone seems to forget this.
Yes, should the games go over budget, the city of LA is on the hook for the first $270 million.
The state is on the hook for the next $270 million.
Then it goes *back* to the city of LA for the next $270 million... or more

This is a really good overview of the (potentially catastrophic) deal that LA signed as the host city — but there's some important context that Angelenos should have about host cities that have succeeded in delaying or kicking out the games 🧵
It's too late for buyer's remorse. Why L.A. can't back out of hosting 2028 Olympics
Despite mounting pressure to move the 2028 Olympics, steep financial penalties and historical precedent make it unlikely host L.A. could back out.

Is ‘copaganda’ why Americans think crime is up, when it’s down?
President Trump claims crime is rising in D.C., when it’s actually down there — and across the country. Critics say his rhetoric is part of a longer history of “copaganda.”

I'll sound like a crazy person for this, but I cannot see this as anything but a bribe payment from Skydance to Trump's "sports" friends at TKO. $7 Billion for UFC is an insane overvaluation.

Really was one of the dumbest and most harmful things possible for “virtue signaling” to become some kind of epithet. Sending externally visible signals that you are engaging in pro-social behavior is normal, natural, and good, it’s how society works. Other people can’t read your fucking mind.
