another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary
they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids
What Should You Do if ICE Comes to Your Restaurant?
We spoke to legal experts about what restaurant owners and workers can do to protect themselves from immigration raids

Call your reps to say NO to this garbage.
Time to go to bat again, folks. They're trying to ram the bill through that would allow the Dep't of Treasury to arbitrarily label a nonprofit a terrorist organization and strip it of its 501(c) status.
Can't emphasize enough that no evidence is required to do so.

House GOP Moves to Ram Through Bill That Gives Trump Unilateral Power to Kill Nonprofits
A bill to give Donald Trump power to kill nonprofits is still supported by dozens of Democrats — giving the GOP plenty of breathing room.

I'd be shocked if she doesn't pardon him. I can not see him ending up in prison
The idea that pardoning Trump would help the US "move on" is ahistorical bullshit and Kamala Harris gave a bad answer to this question.

Is there any scholarly work on 'translating' #COVID wastewater data into n/100 people are currently infected in that area?
I'd love to be able to say "when wastewater levels are 'high', you can pretty much assume in a room full of n people, one of them has COVID"
I'd love to be able to say "when wastewater levels are 'high', you can pretty much assume in a room full of n people, one of them has COVID"
New today:
CDC now estimates that SARS-CoV-2 levels in wastewater have reached "high" levels nationwide, for first time since past winter wave
At state level, 26 now have COVID-19 levels that are "high" or "very high" in wastewater

They say that in two months
COVID cases in New York City
are up 250%
and while I’ve seen this explained
as being a result
of the new variants
being “harder to duck”
I can’t help but wonder
if the real problem
is that most people
aren’t trying to duck them.

ChatGPT already has “Ph.D.-level intelligence,” in that once you remove it from its extremely narrow field of expertise (assembling words into credible-sounding passages) it is wildly out of its depth, but people vastly overestimate its authority because they don’t understand what “intelligence” is.

Anyone who seriously uses the phrase “PhD-level intelligence” is waaaaay too gullible and naive to be running a washing machine, much less a company’s high-impact, high-bullshit, low-quality tech.

If you've fallen out of practice of wearing a mask, this would be a good week to start again! COVID rates are rising because of a new variant, and because many people will have gotten sick over Thanksgiving. Your best protection is wearing a high quality mask.
