The hardline pro-Israel senator has been flirting with the idea of switching parties. Now he’s using Republican campaign infrastructure.

“Although Black and Hispanic teen girls are disproportionately providing family care compared to white youth, Black boys and young men are also becoming the main caregivers in their families. During COVID-19, Black and brown youth caregivers filled gaps in a broken healthcare system.”

Young Black Men and Boys Are Quietly Taking On a Caregiving Crisis Few People See

5.4 million children and adolescents in the U.S. are caregivers. For Black male youth, the picture is even more complicated.

ngl I was stunned by this article's cite to a study showing that 5.4 million children & teens in the US have family caregiving responsibilities @jessicacalarco.com has done lotsa interesting work on how the US uses women in lieu of a social safety net but I had no idea how much labor falls on..kids

I’m not one to get offended over any and everything but this is poor taste. Especially when once considers the connotations due to mental health . #JerseyMikes #food #wtf #wth #Monday

Symbols matter. White House isn't a palace. Kennedy Center is for the general public to enjoy. We don't have a triumphal arch in DC because that's imperial. We don't put the president's face on money because it's monarchical. It's about tearing down everything that says we're a democratic republic.

I know there’s a savvy take that being attached to the east wing or the kennedy center is a sort of west wing lame-o attachment to the symbols of power and on the other hand he fucking bulldozed our collective property

People devote considerable engineering ingenuity to making unhoused folks' lives worse. Behold two different kinds of Los Angeles unsleepable bus benches.

People would much rather fork over millions of dollars to make the lives of unhoused people worse than they would to make those lives better.

This is Eliezer Yudkowsky ("Yud"). We see him here meeting with Bernie Sanders to advise him on AI Policy and arguing about AI Policy in The AI Doc, now on Netflix.

There has been a great effort over many years to distance AI Safety discussion and policy from its origins and intellectual center, because its center is a sex cult started by a fan fiction author. If you want to be taken seriously you have to hide that.

I'm back, I missed you all. Since this is an important subject I know too much about, here's a 🧵 explaining that AI Safety Is Mostly A Sex Cult. I don't think these people should make policy. (1/?) (alternative title: Time For Some Cult Theory)

Universities are subsidizing internal AI tools that are, from the perspective of the humanities, enabling cheating & cognitive outsourcing. The cost in resources is certainly an issue, but the fact that these tools undermine the work we ask students to do is ridiculous www.umass.edu/it/genai/pla...

Oh. That's a heck of a subsidy.

I keep seeing videos of a guy who catches crabs and lobsters, cracks all the barnacles off them, puts a shrimp in their claws and throws them back. can you imagine. abducted by aliens but they just give you a spa day and hand you two hot dogs and let you go

Quite a recent pattern: - GOP candidate in Fla. marched alongside neo-Nazis - Husted fires aide over Nazi photo - Collins fires aide over swastika images - State Dept hires speechwriter whom DeSantis fired over video with Nazi imagery - Trump rewards Paul Ingrassia, who said he has a “Nazi streak”

Republican state legislative candidate marched alongside neo-Nazis, adding to pattern

As a rule, state House candidates’ backgrounds tend not to generate national headlines, but once in a while, there are important exceptions.
