'In many ways, Meta and OpenAI’s new platforms (AI-generated content is already rife on TikTok and YouTube) are a fitting endpoint for social media’s warped evolution from a place where people swapped updates with friends and family, to one with less and less human-to-human interaction.'
Have we passed peak social media?
As platforms degrade into outrage and slop, users are turning away

Global Sumud Flotilla is live as Israel threatens to stop them from breaking the starvation siege of Gaza.

A reminder that they are not entering Israeli waters, but Palestinian waters.

ICE deteve a diretora brasileira durante entrevista para obtenção do green card: "Ao final do que nos disseram ter sido uma reunião bem-sucedida, o policial usou a desculpa de uma copiadora quebrada para enganá-la e fazê-la se afastar do nosso advogado. Uma vez separada de seu adv, ela foi presa."

Finally Barbara’s story is getting national attention. New update from her gofundme: she is now in a Louisiana ICE processing center after three days of travel in shackles. She’s sleeping on the floor and has been denied care for her medical condition.

i don’t think a lot of americans recognize how many people outside their country find their obsession with the first amendment, framing of so many issues through a speech lens, and general discourses around speech to be wild and very foreign to how we see free expression

Paris is transforming its landscape and climate by planting a large number of trees (native species) in the city to lower temperatures and improve rainwater runoff to reduce flooding and improve air quality in the city.

This is the way intelligent humans change the cities they live in.
