The AI industry doesn’t want you to know that massive job displacement is coming. They don’t want government to do anything to slow it or protect workers from it because AI leaders are planning to become trillionaires (not kidding) by destroying your jobs.

Preventing COVID-19 in pregnancy is really important. But the latest study about it has been simplified into headlines about autism, and that depiction misses important aspects, explains @ejwillingham.bsky.social on Thinking Person's Guide to Autism. buttondown.com/TPGA/archive...
Autism and Covid infection during pregnancy: Guess what??

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
