Yes!! The Boston-area FNB chapters are great - I highly recommend donating to, or getting involved with, them. I'll post links to them below 🧵:

donate to the boston area food not bombs groups instead, there's a bunch, freely handing out food & more, and nobody is getting paid six figures

Let's not forget WALTHAM Food not bombs! They serve a hot meal every Sunday afternoon on the Waltham Common (summer months) or indoors in the winter. Check them out @foodnotbombswaltham on Instagram.

The problem isn't rogue #AI models, it's *negligent companies*. If a biomedical firm put their product in public water supply because they wanted to test it 'in the real world', they'd be treated as criminal at corporate & individual level. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Epic lecturing of LAPD for violating a court order. Most of LA cops are moonlighting as ICE slave catchers.

9/ That cafe meeting, Kao asserted, was just one episode in a sprawling pay-to-play operation in Congress. He and his close associates donated nearly $900K to dozens of politicians, allowing Navatek to establish operations in half a dozen states with $40M+ a year in government funds.

ICE (reportedly) boxed in and blocked a man’s car and then shot him in the back this morning in Austin. I don’t see as much news on ICE’s shit these days. They didn’t vanish. They’re still playing Fash GI Joe in our communities. This area is very busy on Sundays. An incredibly reckless choice.

Yeah maybe unapproved research chemicals shouldn't be infused straight into people's blood streams but what do I know. Maybe the free market craves unapproved research chemicals. arstechnica.com/health/2026/...

IV drips used for "detoxification" actually filled with toxins; dozens poisoned

The IV drips included glutathione, which was not made to be injected.

There is zero reason for politicians to be talking about "trans issues" except as a result of a 100% bad faith campaign of bullying and bigotry and it is important to point that out whenever the topic is raised, or you grant bigots legitimacy they don't deserve. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/you-have-t...

You Have to Call Bigots What They Are

Stop treating trans people’s rights as a legitimate issue to debate.

A federal court ruled that a copyright holder can send a DMCA takedown notice based on their belief that speech is infringing—even when that belief is unreasonable. We think that sets the bar far too low, and we will appeal this ruling. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Tangentially related: but you can read the short story that got this woman fired (Bettering Myself by Ottessa Moshfegh). I just did and felt that it is really good. The author is a woman from Boston who is heavily inspired by Bukowski. If you like his stuff, you will probably like hers!
