Just got the new iOs update on my iphone and let me tell you it is the wildest decision for Apple to auto turn on AutoMix in Apple Music. This feature doesn't let a song finish but instead transitions it "at the perfect moment". This is maybe a 1000 times worse than putting U2 on everyone's phone?

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

Imagine being one of those CEOs or school presidents who bowed down to this weird old man, then realizing he doesn’t like you as much as he likes this guy who didn’t bow at all

It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Cancelled my Disney+ account because of the Kimmel cancellation. A small thing in a country careening toward fascism. Posting it here because I suppose this stuff matters for their market research and analysis. Don't give in Disney!!

By far the scariest thing about the story that's emerging is that a young man just decided to murder a major public figure, then was very much able to without a ton of forethought. There are a lot of obvious concerns raised by that story! One of them is not, "Did he know anybody who was trans?"!

Fifth generation Angeleno here. I am not afraid of undocumented seamstresses reporting to work every day in the garment district.
I’m terrified of secret police in tanks rolling down residential streets with machine guns disappearing people without due process.
I hope this helps!

This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.

But if I have to restrict my use of ChatGPT to areas I'm already familiar enough with so I can spot its mistakes, and if I feel the need to fact check the answers it gives me, what is the point?
I'd spend less time using my own research skills.

I don’t think cis people understand the amount of pressure and coercion trans people face to not come out, to not transition. How swiftly and strictly gender is policed. How something as simple as listening to a song, a line of eyeliner, playing with the wrong toy meets stern correction.
