extremely sad news that Asad Haider has passed away. i didn't know him personally but it'd be impossible to overstate how important his writing and editing in Viewpoint was to my trajectory. as I said last night, we are losing too many comrades.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

Always tip your waiter 20%, even if the service was meh and they weren’t particularly charming. Unless they were downright horrible, don’t go below that. If they were great, consider more than 20%.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

There’s a lot to be upset about, and I don’t advise putting your head in the sand, but it is really bad for your brain to be mad all the time on a purely physiological level.
If you possibly can, take time to put down the mad.
It will help you think more clearly and remember why you’re doing this.

Screw you, MLB, for licensing your games on a case by case basis and not including them in your own streaming package. I had to buy 5 different services to catch all of the playoff games.
But switching the Mariners game to a channel that I don’t have midway through the fourth inning? Unreal.

i empathize with this sentiment. but it’s pretty problematic to elide the fact that you can still do anything at zombocom
Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

Also understand that when a critic doesnt seem to enjoy something that is not a judgement on you enjoying it
I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

I do not think RFK jr could ever receive any justice equivalent to the harm he has caused. We'd need one of those nonchristian hells where there are like 50 hells or something.

ICE is a lawless organization that should be dismantled
NEW — Trump’s ICE has just arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.
Alongside residents and other officials, Baraka has been protesting outside a detention facility that’s set to help Trump’s mass deportation regime.

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again
Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"
