And Rebecca Cokley flagged last year how the idea of a disabled middle class is a relatively new development and federal employment created a pathway for that too.

I’ve told this story multiple times but Bowie, MD was the first time I saw a fully thriving Black middle class. You had Black people shopping at Wegmans and strip malls. Federal employment offered a path to the middle class for Black people in PG County. DOGE basically wipes out that opportunity.
I’m telling you, everything this administration does is designed to completely destroy the pathways low income people have to reach the middle class

If you're an American (or from another similar western nation) I cannot stress enough that you should look into the history of the atrocities the USA has committed in South America. This is not new and we cannot let the horrific crimes perpetuated in this nation's name repeat

We don't have the disability education infrastructure to support a growing number of kids who are going to be disabled because their parents didn't get them vaccines against illnesses that can lead to the development of disabilities.

my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

if i received such an email, my response would be three words long and unprintable by the new york times
I also received one of these emails - my paper has been fed into an LLM without consent, and now they want me to evaluate the "ideas" the LLM generated for next projects... "If you find these ideas valuable, you are welcome to pursue them with no obligations — they are our gift to you." Gee, thanks!
somebody at UChicago is feeding preprints to LLMs without authors' consent, in a research study
they have the gall to suggest to authors they've opted-in that they volunteer to evaluate the LLMs' suggestions regarding their own work.
lol, lmao even. here is the invite and my reply

Because Trump sees ‘calls for deescalation’ as signs of weakness. Treat him like a bully and abuser; that’s the only approach that works. He doesn’t respect decorous diplomatic appeals to order etc etc.
2/Even after PM Frederiksen calls for deescalation, Trump keeps up threats on Greenland. Why?

Trump: "We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security. And Denmark is not gonna be able to do it ... the EU needs us to have it"

How are voters meant to understand how serious things are if in lieu of shouting fire AND going into building with hoses, you're simply posting fire safety suggestions on social media?
Not introducing articles of impeachment is a message that Trump hasn't committed impeachable offenses.

We already know twentyfold how dangerous AI is to mental health so to see it peddled as a good thing to train on black people for means of therapy is nothing short of vile. This is not, nor will it ever be, “a good thing”
“Calls to the clinic helpline are being used to train an AI algorithm that researchers hope will eventually power a chatbot offering therapy in local African languages.”
The chatbot will see you now: how AI is being trained to spot mental health issues in any language
Calls to a clinic in Uganda are helping create a therapy algorithm that works in local languages, as specialists look to technology to address the global mental health crisis

This is my deepest take if you want to cut the NYT cooking cord.
I think America Test Kitchen is an underrated resource and deserves the credit that people heap upon NYT cooking. It's a superior resource and not just because of my anti-NYT bias. The recipes are well tested but aren't as persnickety as Serious Eats.
