In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.
He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

Now normally I would not dare besmirch the legacy of a proud patriarch such as yourself, especially during a season of giving so pockmarked by mourning.
But nonetheless I have begun to question whether the death of dear Grandma may in fact be more than the random Yuletide calamity it appears to be.

sometimes i imagine aliens show up and like, get out of their flying saucer, walk up to the diplomat ignoring the offered handshake, snatch their phone, scroll through the apps, groan, trudge back into their ship and say "capitalism again guys get the emp guns out"

[glowing six-eyed lizard creature, i call him "pat"] so it's like every species has this petroleum gap they have to get over
[me] oh i know exactly what you mean
[pat] like you shoot up to industrial civilization status because of fossil fuels, and then there's like this timer running, can you use the free energy of the fossil fuels to transition to a better energy source before you either run out or wreck your climate
[me] we did the climate thing
[pat] yeah we were totally blindsided. we had a series of glacier formations trapping giant methane bubbles so we were off to feedback loop city before we even noticed the carbon ppm was rising
[me] we actually saw it coming. we had like 100 years between us figuring out that carbon was affecting our climate and the system first going nonlinear
[pat] oh damn how did you allocate your resources during that time

It's simple — @propublica.org workers should not be replaced by artificial intelligence. Our contract proposal specifically says that generative artificial intelligence ("GAI") should not be used to replace employees. Management struck out this entire section in their response to our proposal.

This is my favorite piece on the Zero Units, the Afghan locals who actually fought the war under the direction of the CIA.
The Evacuation of the CIA’s Afghan Proxies Has Opened One of the War’s Blackest Boxes
Afghan Zero Units hold clues to many of the war’s mysteries, including how the CIA engineered deadly night raids that contributed to the Taliban’s victory.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.
