If any younger boxing fans wonder why old bitter guys like me are disillusioned with the Sport, the biggest news is that big PPV, Fundora vs Thurman. That is literally the type of fight that used to be on USA Tuesday night fights.
🚨This is so much worse than you think.
> Amazon laid off 30,000 engineers. Then told the ones who survived that their bonuses depend on how much they use AI to write code. So engineers started using AI to push changes faster, because their paycheck literally depends on it.
> And then the site went down. Multiple times. Amazon's own shopping app broke because AI-generated code got pushed to production.
> So what did management do? Did they take responsibility for forcing engineers to use AI they weren't ready for? Did they admit they created the problem?
No. They called a mandatory meeting and blamed the engineers.
> AI is powerful enough to replace engineers, we've been saying that all day. But it's not powerful enough to replace quality control AND common sense all at once.
Amazon proved that executives who don't understand AI are more dangerous than the AI itself.
And every company rushing to do the same thing is watching this and learning absolutely nothing.
@BryanFonsecaNY I live-bet Castillo at +340 after the fourth — and I wouldn’t have done it if not for the fact that Steve Weisfeld was one of the judges and I could trust the opponent would get a fair shake.
This is how ICE/Border Patrol retaliates when U.S. citizens dare to question them.
A woman is sitting in her car in her own neighborhood. An ICE/Border Patrol agent comes to her window. She calmly asks a basic question,
“What are you doing in my neighborhood?”
His response, “I can do whatever I need to do.”
She says, “No, you don’t. Record this”
And that’s when it happens.
The moment she tells someone to record, the agent turns to his coworkers and says,
“Guys, let’s find out their status.”
Let that sink in.
No suspicion. No probable cause. No crime.
Just punishment for speaking up.
She says, “Be my guest,” and identifies them out loud, “Everyone, this is ICE.”
Now the agent comes back, demanding,
“What is your legal status?”
She refuses. Correctly. Calmly. Repeatedly.
“I don’t have to answer that.”
He insists anyway. He starts to say, “I have…” then stops himself.
Because he knows he doesn’t have anything.
No warrant. No authority. No legal basis.
This is intimidation. This is retaliation. This is ICE using the threat of detention as a weapon against civilians who observe them, film them, or question them.
When she tells him he should be ashamed, he deflects with the same tired propaganda,
“Oh, for all the sex offenders we’ve arrested.”
She challenges him,
“Show me one. Show me one you have arrested.”
And suddenly, he walks away.
Because this was never about public safety.
It was about silencing her.
ICE does this over and over again,
If you film them, they threaten you.
If you ask questions, they demand your “status.”
If you assert your rights, they escalate.
This is not law enforcement.
This is a federal agency punishing people for exercising their constitutional rights.
Film them.
Know your rights.
That’s the part that scares them most.
The deliberate enshitification of all customer services - humans replaced by closed loops of AI that waste hours of your day and still you get nowhere.
The message is clear, you, the consumer, no longer matter - go away.
SNAP’s fraud rate is less than 2%. Whereas the pentagon hasn’t passed a single audit and can’t account for over $3 trillion dollars. But fuck the starving kids. Am I right
Immigrants who showed up to their citizenship ceremony had their naturalization cancelled at the ceremony. I can’t begin to describe the rage I feel after reading this.
Trump’s pushing this hard because ending birthright citizenship would let his administration detain and deport people who are citizens by birth, stripping them of the due process protections they have now... basically allowing them to arrest anyone they choose for any reason.
So if all the corporations are merged anyways, why don’t we all just seize them from their shareholders and manage them for public good rather than solely for profit?
What, are you afraid of eliminating “free competition?” Where is that to be found in this era of financialized monopoly of capitalism?
Netflix is phrasing it like it's a done deal - but confirmation/approval doesn't happen until end of 2026 or early 2027.
This is called "manufacturing consent". They want to avoid giving people a chance to process this, and they're pushing a narrative that everything is fine and it's already done. It is not.
My knee jerk reaction is that this is a "bad thing". My deeper thought is that it's worse than we can imagine.
He could have easily added his birthday alongside the other holidays, but instead went out of his way to remove two dates that represent freedom and equality for all races in America. Yet MAGA will still claim he’s not racist.
The worst part about playing Monopoly is when you get to the last stretch where one person is obviously winning, everybody else is miserable, and every turn is just paying said person money.
