This clip about why AI can’t beat real comedians is an excellent take more broadly because Josh Johnson highlights a key deflection the media consistently engages in when talking about AI. AI isn’t taking people’s jobs—executives are giving people’s jobs to AI.
Josh Johnson shares why he thinks that ultimately, AI can't win when it comes to comedy #AfterTheCut

I’m doing two personal fundraisers and this is the other one. If you can help, please do.
My family is still fundraising to keep a roof over our heads. So many have already helped us so much. Saving us in November, then again this month. We're moving towards stability, but still need help. Thank you for those who have and those who will donate.

Activists physically blocked ICE’s San Francisco office by chaining themselves to the building. The protest reflects growing public resistance to deportation practices, even far from the border.

Urgent update.

Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.

Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

Honestly, the spike in anti queer rhetoric and legislation after having a short lived breather is just a reminder we need to be aggressively and unapologetically queer and loud about it. Make more queer art. Write more queer stories. Make more queer friends. Engage more with queer communities

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Cross another brand off my list. This is reprehensible.
BREAKING: Police have been called on striking Starbucks baristas who were peacefully protesting, both in PA and NV.

It seems Starbucks would rather see their own workers arrested rather than listen to their concerns in good-faith.

Shame on Starbucks!

Munson: In Oklahoma, Republicans have been in charge of state government for two decades, and nothing has improved. In fact, everything has gotten worse. On every good list, we’re at the bottom, and on every bad list, we’re at the very top.

the nonstick pan conversation is one of those times when I feel like I grew up on a commune away from civilization.

I grew up on stainless steel. I've owned one nonstick pan ever, it lasted about a year (the average life of a nonstick pan) and I was like well that doesn't seem very long
Celebrity chefs told Californians that PFAS-coated pans were “safe,” and successfully lobbied Gavin Newsom to veto a bill phasing them out

They didn’t mention they all sell PFAS-coated pans.

New joint investigation with @mirandagreen.bsky.social and @atmosmag.bsky.social is out:
Why are famous chefs fighting PFAS bans?
The answer, in retrospect, is obvious—and it’s part of a larger campaign to stop bans on Teflon cookware nationwide.

I unapologetically love Starbucks. I go there every morning and many afternoons. I’m a shareholder. However, I also don’t believe in crossing a picket line, so I haven’t been to a Starbucks since November 12th, even though I have a go hunting for other coffee I don’t like as much in the morning.

The fact that Netflix could afford to buy warner brothers means they could've afforded to let us share passwords.
