Now that the Celtics have completed a solid preseason I will remind everyone that preseason results have a shockingly high predictive power!

Yes, part of the shock is that people assume that they have zero predictive power, but historically they actually have.

Low. It's hard to even determine what share of the population is eligible, unless you just mean regular Medicaid on a low income basis for people who are on the grid in a meaningful way.

Jigsaw puzzle (solid win)
Relay race (big loss)
Using the slow cooker (clear victory)

New from me @thenation.com: the farce at Sharm El-Sheikh displays the delusion that led to October 7 and the genocide Israel pursued after it — that the U.S. regional coalition can pursue normalization over the heads of the Palestinians, who are supposed to accept permanent subjugation.

Sharm El-Sheikh Shows That the US Has Learned Nothing From Gaza

Palestinans are expected to accept the same deal that led to October 7: permanent subjugation under the guise of “prosperity.”

Had an affair with her source and all she got was a book deal, a cushy Vanity Fair editing gig and a year off. Real tough to be “exiled” these days

Open AI is desperate enough to get into the last of The Big 3, I see

Ryan Bernardoni @dangercart.bsky.social · Jan 27

A problem (there are many) with AI as business is that what people want is either not that hard (code stubs, the busywork part of homework, and porn chat bots) or completely impossible (robots from cartoons) and none of the annoying shit in between.

If someone can do the cheap stuff for cheap...

Here's a fun NBA question: not including past teams of the franchise you're a fan of, what was your favorite team to watch of all time?

For me, my favorite non-Timberwolves team to watch were the Adelman Kings. No team has ever had a prettier half court offense

Good things can happen. Good things will not happen when the same people who have done all the bad things are in charge and engineering the new situation.

I interviewed one of these factory workers in Los Angeles. She gets paid three cents to sew a zipper, five cents for a collar, and seven cents to prepare the top part of a skirt.

This is how fast fashion brands like Fashion Nova can put "Made in USA" tags on dress shirts that retail for only $25

"Every day at 6 am, Bilma boards a bus that shuttles her to downtown Los Angeles’s Fashion District. When she reaches the garment factory an hour later, she starts working immediately, without punching in. Like thousands of other garment workers in the United States, Bilma’s wages aren’t tethered to the clock but rather to the quantity of operations she executes. Three cents for a zipper or sleeve, five cents for a collar, and seven cents to prepare the top part of a skirt before she passes it onto the next sewing operator in line. Assembling an entire dress earns her a mere 15 cents. Bilma toils away on garments primarily for fast-fashion labels such as Fashion Nova, Lulus, and Lucy in the Sky, who prioritize quickly stocking on-trend items over the quality of materials. These companies peddle things like $80 maxi dresses, $25 poplin dress shirts, and $5 crop tops, all modeled by beautiful people and bedecked with the tantalizing promise of low-cost glamor."

"This worker payment system, known as “piecework” in the garment industry, is how US-based manufacturers can sidestep labor laws that require companies to pay at least the minimum wage. Rather than compensating Bilma for the exhausting 12-hour shifts—a regimen that, according to LA County’s minimum wage requirement, should yield $202.80—her pay is determined by the individual tasks she performs, which can fluctuate daily. Despite her adept handling of hundreds of garments a day, Bilma’s earnings typically linger around $50 per day. That’s $300 weekly for the standard six-day grind and $350 if she opts for Sunday labor. Doing what she can with this modest income, Bilma spends $400 a month to live in a two-bedroom apartment with six other people, some of whom are day laborers. In this crowded arrangement, two occupants squeeze into each bedroom, while two more lay claim to the living room. Bilma sleeps in the corner of the bustling kitchen."
