"We believe that in the near future half the people on the planet will be Al, and we are the company that's bringing those people to life” girl WHAT
found out what former Wondery COO Jeanine Wright is up to: flooding the internet with unlistenable AI podcasts
Her company has put out around 156,000 AI podcast episodes in two years and has averaged about 64 listens per podcast total in that time (less than one download a week)

Amid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk:
-Is not accused of committing any crime
-Is nonviolent
-Was in this country legally
-Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to
-Has been locked up for six weeks
-Is not accused of committing any crime
-Is nonviolent
-Was in this country legally

Now from Öztürk’s ACLU lawyer Esha Bhandari:
“Rümeysa Öztürk’s case is unprecedented and shocking. She has been held behind bars for six weeks while her health deteriorates for writing an op-ed.”

How, as an American, can you say "I don't care about the genocide in Gaza". You're paying for it, the politicians you elected are committing it. You are indeed culpable.

these are the material consequences of the adl and other major pro-israel institutions working to tie groups like sjp and jvp to terrorism: non-violent activists get treated by law enforcement as though they’re hiding bombs and AKs at home for doing basic misdemeanors
“The authorities told the family the raid was related to a spray-paint vandalism incident at George Mason’s campus in August — part of the widespread campus protests related to Israel’s war on Gaza.”

In September, most men were transferred out of the derelict conditions at Stateville prison due to a court order.
But one group wasn't included in that order: the health care unit.

Every accusation is and always was a confession
"In Gaza, human shields are used by Israeli soldiers at least six times a day...Today, almost every platoon keeps a "shawish," and no infantry force enters a house before a "shawish" clears it. This means there are four "shawishes" in a company, twelve in a battalion, at least 36 in a brigade. 1/4

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.
