idk maybe I am just wired/built differently, but even if you slid me a huge pile of money in the form of a hefty salary I couldn’t be a mouthpiece for some of the things folks decide to be mouthpieces for, even cynically - I would feel the weight of the shame deep within and I wish they could, too

“Landlords may say ‘smart home’ devices are a tenant convenience. But the reality is, these AI-enabled systems can track patterns of tenant behavior, identify when people are home, and provide landlords with personal information that could be used to push out tenants perceived as too costly.”

every day a new palantir billionaire slithers out from a damp hole and does a tech conference panel where he casually suggests we round up the "genetically infirm" and toss them in an active volcano, before his head lurches back and chest rips open as he molts his exoskeleton to thunderous applause

In August, we got a bit of extra money from a generous donor, and I used it to expand into coverage of trans life in American prisons.

This piece, by incarcerated journalist B Speaks, describes the chaos Georgia's forced detransition regime, currently halted by the courts, wreaked in one prison.

I think the four pieces I edited by incarcerated queer journalist B Speaks may be the thing I'm proudest of this year. Speaks is an incredible writer, with an ability to take you into the world of the GA prison, and its trans and queer inmates, that takes my breath away.

Thread on how to detect ai in that viral dog video
Yeah, I mean, I'm critical of any video nowadays that is trying to elicit an emotional response, especially when it's asking for subs at the end. It's weird that all the people seem to end up with the dog they want. And shelters are overflowing, where are the rooms full of people wanting to adopt?

This is horrific and exactly what those of us in Black studies, gender studies, women’s studies have been warning our colleagues in the sciences about. Their seeming neutrality will not save them.
Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?
It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

it cannot be said enough, and should be shouted from the rooftops:

this is a fake legal issue that's been backstopped by on-demand scholarship from academics who are part of the same project as the conservative justices. the "authority" they will cite is no better than citing AI slop.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court agrees to take up a challenge to President Trump's January 20 birthright citizenship executive order.

The court will hear DOJ's appeal of a loss below in a class-action challenge brought in the wake of June's decision limiting universal injunctions.

Society feels so cooked that it feels pointless to even say as much, but CNN partnering with the gambling site that wants to financialize everything feels like a solid indication that the concept of journalistic integrity has just been fully eradicated.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

So, no word on worker's comp yet and it has put me in a precarious situation with rent. I very badly need to raise $550. I know it's a big ask. This is not how I want to start my birthday month. I'm sorry
Hi, I have spent literally the very last of my money on rent. If you can help me survive to the end of the month with a share or donation, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much.

I keep seeing frustration (this is just the latest) over media only covering the horrors, not what to do about them—but they seem to miss stories about what people *are* doing.

I report on that expressly because I want people to know there are people fighting back, and learn how they could, too.

What's not reported is as important as what is. This didn't fit the corpo media's narrative, just like dozens of other issues.
An inependent review of medical evidence on trans youth healthcare found substantial evidence of benefit, and no evidence of harm.

This was one of our top stories this year. Legacy news, who extensively covered a review finding the opposite, ignored this.
