i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

A witness in our case had ICE reject all her documents after using facial rec on her.

For her, tho, it seemed like nothing could make them accept that she has a right to be here.

Either way, a gov policy of not trusting gov-issued docs is going to violate lots of people's rights.

Already seeing AI generated videos from people claiming it's from Hurricane Melissa. Be mindful of what you share and put out. Verify sources, and use critical thinking skills.

Reality can be hard enough. It can also be beautiful enough, when people come together. ❤️

There is zero reason for anyone, especially reporters, to trust anything that comes out of this administration at any level. This is fantastic reporting.

Hi. Board Certified Urologist here.

None of these things are particularly important or predictive of any of the things we might care about.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.
the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

Hurricane Melissa is about to slam into Jamaica as the strongest hurricane on record ever to hit them; stronger even than Hurricane Katrina.

Thinking of the people trying to ride this thing out right now. They’re going to need help once it passes, I’m worried the island will be devastated.
Jamaica is facing possible"total structural failure" as the full force of Melissa slams into the Caribbean island nation, warns the National Weather Service. www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at3...

The state broadcaster giving free rein again to one of the country’s largest developers to tell everyone why there aren’t enough houses and shockingly it’s got nothing to do with relying on developers - and the market which has made him a very rich man

STATE HOUSING ON STATE LAND BY A STATE BUILDER

I’d encourage everyone to do the same and to tell every politician or prospective politician every time you have the opportunity to. We need to get “state housing on state land by a state builder” back on the table
I will not vote for any party that doesn’t firmly and unequivocally commit to building universal social housing by a state agency. If your party’s housing plan involves tinkering around the edges of planning/incentives/regulations or relies on developers or “the market”, you won’t get a vote from me
