Maybe our real values were the ones we lived along the way.
“In the ways they ask for support” is important. Please don’t make up ways to help WAISN without confirming with them that it will actually help.

Precision is important! But I think a non-gen-ai bot that pretends to be a person is just as bad, so I do think you covered it.

I don’t think anyone is confused by endless screaming.

genuinely i cannot believe that i have to say this but you do not need to - and absolutely should not - expose yourself to CSAM material in order to “witness” the crimes of the elite.

this does nothing except make vicarious trauma, moral injury, and potentially places you in legal jeopardy.

STOP

This is a thread about what a lawyer doing immigration defense is seeing. I’m not going to tell you to read it, because I don’t know how much you’ve been doomscrolling.

But if you are in Washington state, supporting WAISN in the ways they ask for support is a great way to help.

I just wish they’d expand the Urban Costco Storefronts, whatever they call them.

They keep saying shit like this but after string of layoffs one after another in the tech industry, many businesses are effectively crumbling from the inside out.

“I woke up from my nap… and now I’m wearing clothes.
CLOTHES.
I trusted you. I purred for you. I showed you my belly. And this is how you repay me? In this… onesie of betrayal?”

Moderna has 2 trials for EBV vaccines in Phase 1/2 and Phase 2. EBV is now widely believed to be a causative agent for Multiple Sclerosis. Just under 3 million people in the world, about 1 million in the US have MS.

This is one of the reasons I think we should have UBI!!!!

Also good transit so we can take away licenses from those who shouldn’t drive.

My grad school ethics prof was really into Deepak Chopra.

Why yes, I did submit a lengthy ethics complaint about him.

There's a link between the AI disruption and the authoritarian political attacks on expertise. Highly educated white collar folks considered ourselves to be a powerful culture, on the basis of our expertise & credentials. But that's not where power comes from, and we're learning that the hard way.
All I'm saying here is that there's a strong air from white collar people like we're not supposed to be disrupted. That's for blue collar folks. But we're not special. We never have been. Just lucky. And eventually your luck runs out. Capitalism comes for everybody eventually.

Moderna reportedly spent *750 million dollars* on the study for this vaccine, so it now appears that MAHA might be Fucking With the Money, of Big Pharma no less, so it'll be interesting to see how it all works out (as we sicken and die of preventable disease)

I will admit I'm hot-headed about tech worker issues, so I'l try to be more even-handed in articulating this: Think of the genuine, real grief we feel because of the decimation our good, valued friends in journalism have been enduring over recent years. We know they're victims of heartless tycoons.
