Okay, here's a few Con survival tips with #MCVegas coming up that will probably help newbies out. This is far from complete, but it is meant to cover the basics.
1) Have a comfortable backpack/messenger bag that you can fit everything in, plus swag that you pick up on the Con Floor (1/10).

They are trying to cram it down our throats so deep it can't get dislodged. And short sighted, greedy, uncritical people are just lapping it up. One of the reasons I'm so loud and aggro about this is I hope people not paying attention get wind that not everybody is just okay with this happening.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

The only justification for managers or execs is that they’re supposed to use their amassed experience, strategic insight and expertise to do the cognitive work of making decisions that could cost or earn millions and impact all workers. Outsourcing that work to AI is as immoral as plagiarism slop.
Do you use AI on the job?
Execs: 87%
Managers: 57%
Workers: 27%
You could replace execs with a magic 8 ball or that octopus that predicts World Cup outcomes and get equal or better output, imo.

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy

While I am still angry myself that there was almost no accountability for say, the rampant CIA torture during GWOT, it isn’t helpful to scream about “campaigning with them” and your sole examples are “Kamala accepted Dick Cheney’s endorsement” and “Joe Biden didn’t spit on Kissinger’s grave.”

-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor
Fools.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.
They voted to confirm him anyway.

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”
It’s almost as if there were signs!

yep. no mention in the article of right wing billionaires ruining the WaPo and CBS. no mention of Murdoch outlets spreading right wing bullshit for decades. no mention of the clear biases of nuzzi and tapper and so many other famous journalists. no mention of destruction of teen vogue.
I’m not sure what to make of this survey, honestly? If you’re a young person in solidarity with Gaza, or against police killings, or you’re trans or queer, would you have reason to trust the news?
A lost generation of news consumers? Survey shows how teenagers dislike the news media
You don't have to tell Cat Murphy or Lily Ogburn about the attitudes of young people toward journalists.
