1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:

AI Is Supercharging the War on Libraries, Education, and Human Knowledge

Wow, shit! Teen Vogue was doing an incredible job of it!
This really sucks. Lex is a powerhouse and Teen Vogue's politics section really was what it was because of Lex! Disinvestment in politics coverage is a terrible move right now.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

The Dutch radical right maintained its vote share this election. One election pledge was to deport the “children and grandchildren” of migrants.
