Thank you for flagging it! Definitely interesting. Also enraging. Good on them for unionizing, those sound like absurd employment conditions
Thanks so much!
You'll definitely need high constitution
One of my favorite podcasts about tech @tangoti.bsky.social has a banger about the AI sexual abuse material on Twitter.

AI-generated content deceives people, even when clearly labeled.
@bridgettodd.bsky.social, host of @tangoti.bsky.social, explains that labeling content as AI isnโt working, and why projects like @divine.video are promising no AI content.
Full episode out now.
Great episode of @tangoti.bsky.social recently about the emerging info that women are less likely to use gen AI and some reasons why. Highly recommend!
Congrats @bridgettodd.bsky.social for getting this timely op-ed published in Essence Magazine: www.essence.com/news/money-c...
So glad to hear it! We're excited about the episode coming out tomorrow, looking into the report about bots influencing the Taylor Swift conversation.
Thanks for helping spread the show! โค๏ธ
There Are No Girls On The Internet did a great episode featuring a Black woman game creator who was to be featured in Target (prior to their reinvention). They basically made this lady jump through tons of hoops and then never even featured her product on the shelf. @tangoti.bsky.social

Apologies it looks like the alt text didn't publish as expected. The audiogram shows Soledad sitting in a chair against a background of the TANGOTI logo.
Bridget recently spoke with filmmaker Soledad O'Brien about her two new documentaries: "The Perfect Neighbor" and "The Devil is Busy." In this clip she explains why 'The Perfect Neighbor' relies exclusively on police body cam footage.
Listen to the full interview wherever you get your podcasts.
Glad you liked it!
Funny that you'd preciously clocked that similarity between JCO and Elon, before seeing them feuding now. Thanks for sharing the excerpt
Enjoyed this episode (@bridgettodd.bsky.social) on the Joyce Carol Oates-Elon Musk beef.
I lol'd at comparing JCO & Azealia Banks: two good artists with mostly terrible takes but "when they stumble upon a truth, they really hit that truth and they do not miss."

Ring Cam IS the police. Wendy Osefo, from Real Housewives of Potomac, just got charged with fraud. Evidence included footage from her own Ring Cam. Ring readily gives access to police without a warrant and without your consent. Do you really want that in your house?

I think the titles are good!
DC is Bridget's home. It's not just the nation's capital; it's a vibrant city with a rich history. This episode is part rant, part guide to how allies can support DC.

Quiznos? Cosi? Subway? Jimmy John's? Jersey Mike's? Any sub shop I visit from this day forward will be judged not only on the taste & value of its sandwiches, but their weight, velocity, & stability of their wrapping.
