Newsom keeps putting out content of exactly why you shouldn't vote for him in the primaries.
Reagan is responsible for the death of gay men during the AIDS crisis, an increase in incarcerations of minority populations due to a failed "war on drugs" and defunding and cutting several social services.

The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

The rise of Starbucks Workers United has energized the labor movement, as the struggle to unionize the mega-chain represents far more than baristas pitted against managers: Starbucks is a global powerhouse. Current fights at places like Starbucks will shape the labor movement for decades to come.

The combination of fascism covid more fascism genocide capitulation to fascism and the clear goal of AI tech bros to eradicate the workforce and make all jobs and future goals irrelevant as we all slide into poverty while eleven rich people become gods is really doing a number on us.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Crowdsourcing info on a fic I can't find! I don’t know the title.
My sister read it like 10 or 20 years ago. It's for the film John Carpenter's THE THING.
It's from the creature's POV, the conceit is it's not initially trying to kill people, it's trying to study us.
Help? Retweet please! 💜

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood.
He's turning the homes into a compound.
That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe.
I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.
