When I by blood and luck am eighty-six
and you are someplace else and thirty-three
believing in sex and god and politics
with children who look not at all like me
- Miller Williams, A Poem for Emily
(I love this whole poem and different lines from it pop into my head all the time)

I felt pretty confident that wasn’t a FAFO situation for the Leavitts - turns out the brother has a history of trying to weaponize ICE against the mother of his child.
The mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was reportedly engaged in a nasty years-long custody battle with the White House press secretary’s brother before she was detained by Immigration and Customs enforcement last month. trib.al/sueJHCv

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

Of course the article’s conclusion is that executives need to bring workers along on AI, rather than questioning whether the workers might be the ones seeing things clearly here.
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.

Based on what I’ve seen so far I think I’m an outlier. I’d drop green bean casserole easy, ham if I had to, and pies after that. I’ll keep allllll the carbs.

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.
I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

The 9yo friend sleeping over has had trouble falling asleep. Juuuust as I thought it was safe for me to turn in for the night they’re wandering the house at 12:30am. I am trying to remember that this child is not trying to keep me awake, they’re just having a hard time doing something new.

Man what the fuck IS the structure of Democratic comms strategy? There's a lot of very obvious details that we can infer from the output, but I would really like to know the specific management structure that has completely monopolized SMS and email for only this purpose and no others.

Study after study shows that using LLMs is bad for cognition, bad for learning, bad for understanding, bad for mental health. So why are our schools and universities still relentlessly pushing them?
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

This is powerful, and something I needed to read today.
When people hear about such events, they are often quick to name this as "abuse." But back in the olden times, we had no words for such things, and you cannot protect yourself from something you cannot name.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

It’s not just “don’t comply.” It’s deliberately doing the exact opposite.
They want us too sick to resist. Refuse. Mask up in public.
They want us isolated and in competition with each other. Refuse. Build community.
They want us dependent on their systems. Refuse. Create mutual aid networks.
