I promise you if we brought back naps so many of the problems in this country would resolve themselves
For an upcoming story, I'd like to hear from people who have had an encounter with a stranger recording them on Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses. If that's you or you can pass along this request to someone else who has experienced this, I'm at miles_klee@wired.com or millionbear.44 on Signal. Thanks!
I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

What sucks is when you have to get that much plastic surgery for your job but you get fired and they don’t let you return your face to the store
MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.
They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.
GO DONATE.

Why doesn't the president simply have John Roberts arrested by the military, which by John Roberts' own previous decision is actually totally legal

This is bad analysis and a terrible idea
We have shipped 325,686 whistles in February (these last 12 days) so far.
This is about 651 kg of filament that we have gone through. It really does help to get gift cards for non-Amazon sources!
never seen a better clapback to "just playing devil's advocate," this made me screech

VERY excited about this!
Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick
Three posts from Chris Hayes, four hours ago: I understand why people are exhausted by Al hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see Al doomerism as self-serving hype, but | *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true. I'm not even saying that's the most *likely* possibility, but it's just very clear that the likelihood of that outcome as increased and even if there's, like, a 1 in 10 change that "Al replaces most to all white collar jobs in 10 years" that's an *enormous* risk to the social order! also it won't just be white-collar jobs, lots and lots of the category of "things humans do for pay” is exposed
As to the argument the left should take AI hype seriously: Nah.
It’s pretty straightforward to hold that AI hype is broadly a scam, and also believe capitalists will be delighted to replace human workers w/a cheaper and worse alternative. Entirely compatible, arguably even complementary ideas.

minor point of order since it keeps coming up, it's "Woke 2" and not "Woke 2.0". we're leaving tech industry bullshit behind too
MS. LE: The reason that I -- I did ask. And I was told if we provided all information, the protester will show up at the airport and the agent and other people will be in dangers. So I took it to heart, because during that time, it was very heated here in Minnesota with all the protests that was going on. Any public thing that was going on is at risk. Even myself is also at risk for putting my name and myself in here, Your Honor. That's the safety concern that I have. THE COURT: So my question had to do with the
safety concern for why the person could not be put on the airplane in presumably Texas or New Mexico or wherever he was at the time. And is your answer because they were concerned that if he were put on a plane, that if he arrived here, there may have been a public reaction of some kind? MS. LE: Your Honor, he was escorted with other agents. He wasn't put on the plane by himself. The original plan was to have agent escorted him back, and with the protests was going on during that time, I was advised to be careful of what information to put out in public so that for the safety of others. THE COURT: So I'm not altogether following since I was told that the safety concern was one the airline had raised --
Le then says she was told not to put any flight information in filings because protestors might show up at the airport. Judge Blackwell says, "This doesn't add up, I was told the airline raised the safety issue."
The original design featured Toussaint L'ouverture but the IOC rejected it claiming it was "too political". The new design features a riderless horse and the word Haiti. (Wow, damn!)
The look created for women also has gold hoop earrings and a Haitian tignon which women were once forced to wear. 🇭🇹🥇
For 4Columns, I wrote about the Wilfredo Lam show at MoMA. He was the first Cuban artist to enter the collection, but his masterpiece, The Jungle, hung near the coatcheck for years. It’s a great show about an artist who saw his practice as an act of decolonization. 4columns.org/d-souza-arun...
On March 7, 1965, white police in Alabama beat hundreds of civil rights marchers—including fracturing the skull of civil rights icon John Lewis—as they walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma on “Bloody Sunday.” The very next day, President Lyndon Johnson announced an unprecedented expansion of funding for U.S. police departments, including for “improved training of policemen.”8
In light of Democrats calling for more "training" for ICE, this passage from my book Copaganda seems relevant:
