I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

I hope when the century-old water lines under Summit, which she's committed to not replacing, finally fail*, it starts in front of her house.
I will eternally resent that I don't get to be thrilled about our first female/WOC mayor.
*Apologies to Mr. K. for wishing bad things for his dept.

Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”

I saw @bradtabke.bsky.social at a legislative happy hour tonight and his ass is still a tremendously decent and kind and smart guy. Shakopee can be a tough putt for a guy like that and I want him to win so I gave him a 100 bucks and you can help him out too here:

Scholar of sexual ethics here: pearl clutching about people's specific pleasures in the name of "community" is a great way to let genuine conversations about interdependence wither on the vine.
Hyperindividualism IS a problem. It hasn't got shit to do with what drink you like or who you fuck.
Obligatory ... What about just a salted caramel mocha?

One of my name doppelgangers has signed up for one of these techbro health app things, "Superpower"
I know b/c they email me directly w all her lab results, notes, etc. I have contacted them multiple times telling them they are sending this person's private info to a stranger, and they do not care.
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice
I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation
Fun fact: When you catch a glimpse of the sign for gas at $3.39 a gallon in your rearview mirror, the cost of gas is PEE.
On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED
We’re still murdering people in “drug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.
Listen to my cousin. Deadloch is on Amazon prime in the US. I would also add, in terms of giving you context, it’s kinda Parks and Recreation meets Broadchurch, with just a ton of messy queers. NB: season two is coming soon and they added to a Hemsworth & crocs 🙌🏻🇦🇺🔥🐊
Minnesotans fucking begged for Ben Wikler.
Ken's been failing upward since he tried to hand Minnesota to W in 2004.
(At least. I didn't know he existed until he ran that state campaign into the ground.)
Rene Redzepi tales of abuse will get reskeeted 10 million times, a story about a good woman doing good work quietly in food will get shared never, prove me wrong challenge:
Beautiful story, beautifully written. Give yourself a moment to read about some good.
As someone who's frequently too disabled to cook, I appreciate their frozen meals from places with functional food safety systems (EU, Canada, etc.), with minimally processed ingredients ... but I skip their produce.
It's my "processed foods" store, with options less likely to give me listeria. 😮💨
March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.
This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.
Local Massachusetts weekly says it's confirmed that the Pentagon was relying on Claude for strike targeting, which is how they came to bomb a girls' school.

Anderson Cooper: “So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?”
Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth
Don’t believe the bullshit lies going around that Platner’s wife is Jewish. That shit is a literal propaganda op designed to get you to forgive him.
Also people can be fucking hateful bigots married to marginalized people like have you not heard of our Vice Fucking President?
Dropkick Murphys finish up their set at a benefit show across from Alex Pretti Memorial: “We’ll never forget what we saw with our own eyes, we’ll never forget what we’ve seen here today. thank we’ve seen here today. Thank you all for allowing us to come bear witness with you, thank you Minnesota!”.
