If the minimum wage cannot purchase the minimum requirements of living, it is not a minimum living wage.

It’s a minimum employer obligation.

"Just legalize sports betting, who cares" was one of the most wrong opinions I've ever had. We need a draconian snapback where it becomes something you can exclusively do in-person in Vegas and maybe at a racetrack in Atlantic City.

🚨 At the U20 Mayors Summit, Mamdani Says the Left Has Ceded “Quality of Life,” “Efficiency,” and “Fraud and Waste” to the Right

This was one of the more interesting arguments Zohran Mamdani made today at the U20 Mayors Summit, and a reminder that he can be genuinely sharp when he drops the “central casting” routine.

“In New York City, there are certain words that have taken on ideological associations.”

“Quality of life has come to be seen as somehow a right-wing concern. Efficiency… has been taken on as a right-wing concern, rooting out fraud and waste, a right-wing concern.”

Mamdani’s argument is that refusing to engage those issues actually helps the Right.

“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’”

The harder question is how much of the broader Left is actually prepared to follow the advice.

“Not one single person in that room was for the data center and the city council just went ahead and approved it.”

This is what happens when you live under a capitalist dictatorship where the government and both parties exist to serve capital, not people.

The Paramount merger update pretty much sums up the past 2 years. We hear all the time how so many people are against something and they're fighting against it. Then it just happens anyway.

🦔Google is now prompting users on its homepage to set up a selfie video to sign into their account. You record a short video of your face from different angles. Google says it's an optional backup sign-in method. The setup page says the video may also determine if you're "old enough to use certain Google services."
An optional toggle lets Google use your video to "improve facial recognition, age estimation, and other verification methods that use your physical features or movement, across Google services."

My Take
Passwords work. Two-factor authentication works. Google already knows your phone number, your location, your search history, and your email. Now they want a 3D map of your face. They've positioned it as a convenience feature so you can get back into your account if you're locked out. But the fine print says they can use it for age verification and, if you opt in, to train facial recognition across all of Google's services.

You can change a password. You can get a new phone number. You can't change your face. Once Google has a 3D video scan of it, that data exists forever in their systems. Google used CAPTCHAs to train image recognition for years before most people realized it. The selfie video is the same idea with much more personal data attached. I don't think it stays optional for long. Every one of these starts as optional until enough people set it up, and then it becomes required for "security purposes."
If you see this prompt, click "don't set up" and move on.

> "It is humans who are responsible, not the AI."

> "What we shouldn’t do on safety is to give these labs a liability exemption, which is what they are asking for."

La riforma della legge sulla caccia punta a riscrivere la norma del 1992. Il DDL definisce l'attività venatoria come tutela della biodiversità, trasformando i cacciatori in "bioregolatori" per gestire il sovrannumero di fauna.
