This is the mentality in power, folks 😣

OMG that's hilarious.

"Argue with this person for me"

my so-called work life has become people just generating AI responses to each other's AI generated responses.

a tan long-haired dachshund with incredibly floofy ears sits with his front paws on a window sill and his nose pressed up against the window. he's accompanied by his stuffed squirrel friend. their reflections stares back at them. Stevie the dachshund does not see the irony in watching for squirrels with his squirrel friend. he's too busy being locked in on the happenings outside his window.

This is Stevie. He's on squirrel watch. His stuffed friend is also a squirrel, but he's one of the good ones. 14/10 (IG: longdogstevie)

Corporate-speak translation #425:

"I don't want to be a blocker" = "Leave me tf alone"

Changes the whole meaning behind "in the bag"

Goals.

It's been a while since I checked my feed. Lots of ranting at the masses.

Oh yeah, that's definitely happened before - having strong rapport online and then meeting and realizing someone isn't who you thought they were.

In this case, I pretty much hate everybody on LinkedIn even when I like them on other platforms 😂

I may actually write this just for fun.

My next blog: "I like you IRL but I hate you on LinkedIn, and other stories"

Behold, the healing power of watching a horse eat a PB&J

There's no good way to react to all of this insanity 😭

Oh nothing, we're just very close to a possible war with nuclear power Iran again.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Staring at my guitar in the corner of the room and it's just sitting there like "yep still waiting for you to get over yourself and play me"

It's so weird to have to re-normalize something that used to be very, very normal. Social media and the compulsion to immediately share everything with random people online has ruined staying in the experience of just enjoying activities.

The Walk for Peace officially ended. Truly amazing and inspirational 🙌🏽🙏🏼

Spot on 🤣

Rest easy, Dawson 💔

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

I love this post about "backseat software." When software evolved into an economic engine of its own, user-centric product design got clobbered by aggressive business growth tactics.

This is why so many products now feel more hostile than helpful:

Imagining a world without cowardly men...

We preliminarily found TikTok in breach of the Digital Services Act for its addictive design.

The CIA World Factbook is dead. Here's how I came to love it The Factbook survived the Cold War and became a hit online. It mixed quirky cultural notes and trivia with maps, data, and photos taken by CIA officers. But it was discontinued this week.

Africa Is Writing AI Rules Faster Than the World Notices Africa is moving early on AI governance but without leverage its rules may not shape global AI systems or the terms under which they operate.

African governments are moving early on AI governance through data, procurement, and automation rules, but the real challenge is whether these frameworks can bind beyond borders and shape global AI systems, writes Arthur D. Sidney.

AI, Surveillance and the Siege of Minneapolis "Operation Metro Surge" has pulled back the curtain on a growing and sprawling surveillance apparatus.

Operation Metro Surge pulled back the curtain on a sprawling DHS surveillance apparatus. Justin Hendrix spoke to Irna Landrum from Kairos Fellowship and Alejandra Montoya-Boyer from the Center for Civil Rights and Technology at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights on calls for reform.

As ICE uses Palantir tech to find neighborhoods to raid and Flock cameras track people across the US, how can you protect yourself?

Timeline cleanse 😊

What people post is not an indication of how much they care, how concerned they are, or their "awareness of history".

We're under constant, invasive surveillance where everything we say and do is going into a profile to be used against us.

If you want to know how people feel, try talking to them.

That feeling when you're about to post some vague rant and a news alert pops up about a 7 year-old getting tear gassed by 🧊 at a memorial for a man killed by 🧊
