It's silently costing people friends and other connections, too. If I see that you are posting or reposting gen AI content I'm unlikely to say anything but I will immediately lose interest in striking up any kind of conversation, friendship, or working relationship. And I know I'm not the only one.

Yikes. Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July, according to @nwlc.org
Let’s face it. Robert F Kennedy Jr is wrong about everything.

The same old Susan Collins charade. As soon as a controversial nominee or a bill has enough votes to pass, she announces she will vote no when it doesn’t matter. She never casts a deciding vote against Trump. Now she will claim this shows how she is so “independent.”
When you find yourself trying to parse what your shared parenting plan says about ER visits on national TV, maybe you've already lost.

So many parallels: Advances followed by brutal backlashes. Hatred cloaked in concern about "fairness" and "undue influence" on children. Insistence that it's a medical/mental problem. Rage at cultural institutions that "promote a lifestyle." Invective about "special rights." Malevolent statehouses.
Hunter Walker@hunterw.bsky.social · 6d agoI have been thinking a lot lately about how so many of the "arguments" against trans rights are essentially the same as the various fake panics about gay people.
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
Update: Google just sent me a statement saying it is “rolling back” this AI feature that let anyone make completely bullshit satellite images. Comes after our demos of the tool and those from OSINT researchers. One of the worst AI tools I’ve ever seen bsky.app/profile/jose...
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · last wk.New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...
The latest CNN poll shows that only 2% of Americans say economic conditions in the US are "very good," while 77% say they're somewhat or very poor.

Starting to think that putting the least qualified, most evil people in charge of our country wasn’t the best idea.
He's siding with our enemies over a state that didn't vote for him. He is absolutely disgusting

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
Just making shit up and facing zero consequences so there’s absolutely no reason for them to stop making shit up.

Somehow, competition feels unimportant with a merger like this.

The campaign to demonize Fauci and other public servants is designed to convince the next generation of talented scientists and experts that serving America isn’t worth it. That’s a gift to America’s enemies. The Kremlin couldn’t have scripted it better.
People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall. My latest for @newrepublic.com on how the Paramount merger would crush blue collar workers who can not afford it newrepublic.com/article/2136...
There’s a Blue-Collar Hollywood—and the Paramount Merger Will Kill It
Hollywood isn’t all glamour. It’s thousands of line workers. And a Paramount takeover of Warner will make their lives even more precarious.

what's so funny about Douthat is that he has literally zero experience doing investigative reporting (what 60 MINUTES is known for) — he's just an opinion columnist with a podcast. But he's also incredibly uncharismatic and (sorry) not telegenic! What are we doing here!
It is STAGGERING to realize that Graham's family, having seen how the President has acted for 80 fucking years, and knowing he was going to be this, and they STILL said "nah let him speak, it'll be great. Its what Lindsay would have wanted, being ignored for 20 minutes."
Man there's a long list of people I wish I did not have to think about on a daily basis
I’m sorry but I’m seeing a lot of Islamophobia and I don’t think it’s okay.
