@gatha_writes Depending on where you are, they are either playing the radio or a special station. Artists actually wants their music broadcast as such.
Nick Offerman just passed me in the streets coming out of Iceboy @goodmantheatre and I'm so pleased with myself for keeping it moving and not freaking out.
Thanked a @PPFA street staffer for doing the good work, got followed by some creepy older white men who needed to share "how terrifying it is when a womam shows herself to be liberal." Boo, b*tches
Opened the door to that wildfire breeze and it took me back to driving burning trash in Mumbai. Feels like I'm the final girl in a disaster movie except it's real life and the disaster is the world is literally on fire.
Imagine being the Republican party and trying to hide the fact that one of your Senators died to avoid holding a special election and then a totally different Republican Senator died from karma
Ohh America, in what may just be the best metaphor for the day, a blonde girl at the gym demanded I move out of her shot while she filmed. No matter that I was there first or on the ground, in a less mobile position.
We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam’s Global Humanitarian Policy lead, stood before the UN Security Council last week & delivered a warning: the ceasefire in Gaza is failing.
Nearly 1,000 days in, aid is still blocked & families still go without food, water, and medical care.
It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7
I love how everyone today has been asking me if I was at the Obama Center opening because I live in Chicago. I wish, those community tix went right quick!
