An auto-dependent society puts tremendous pressure on low-income people to own cars. A car can eat up someone’s budget, expose them to predatory lenders who hurt their credit, or worse. And they're getting more expensive. My latest for @voxdotcom https://t.co/r4GFOXGdNa

in the 2030s, AI will take care of 99% of white collar tasks, allowing ppl on twitter to spend all day doing what they love most: continue fighting over whether the US is better than europe bc of gdp and air conditioning, or poorer than europe bc of leisure time and longevity

How DC went from 270 streateries to...39.

Great work from @CityCast_DC (and here's hoping the city can come up with a better permitting process & look for ways to help the many restaurants that struggled to comply.)

I lost my wife and son in the Flight 5342 tragedy. I mostly show up on X to stay current on — and advocate for — aviation safety reform. But it's starting to feel like we're losing the plot. 1/6

Tremendous, nuanced piece by @mjcontrera about our era of loneliness and digitally mediated intimacy. You come away with so much empathy for the mom and all she's dealing with that it's very hard to judge her (though easier to judge the AI platforms) https://t.co/QLbPSHg7fy

About to move back to the US and every time I log on here it's like: super ticks are on the rise, they'll jump on you the second you leave the house. Or: We're now the United States of Diarrhea, but it's cool so long as you don't go outside or eat the food!

A San Diego infectious disease doctor says it’s probably best to stay away from fresh produce for the next week or so, even if you wash it. A fecal parasite illness, known as cyclosporiasis, has now reached California. NBC 7’s Shandel Menezes has details. https://t.co/beYdXip2Ds

It's incredible how we've just decided that AI can be everywhere, do everything, destroy anything - including children's minds. This, for example, should not be legal.

Statement from the Office of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina).

I think it's worth explaining this more clearly: It is good for journalists to reveal facts but there are always facts left out of stories because there are a near-infinite number of facts to share.

Grim is implying that the fact that Racicot mentioned she needed a glute massage is pertinent information to the story. Why? I watched the video and he doesn't explain why that's important for the public to have?

What about mentioning to someone that you need a glute massage has any bearing whatsoever on the allegation that a man ignored your request not to come over and forcibly raped you? I think @ryangrim should explain that clearly instead of pretending that his presentation of facts is value-neutral.

[Jill Filipovic @JillFilipovic]

It's not a "shocking breach of journalistic ethics" to not include this irrelevant detail, any more than it was a shocking breach of journalistic ethics to not include what she was wearing. This is really disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I mean this seriously. The World Cup should be every year. Every other year at the latest. I love all the people of the world and like seeing them happy.

pretty decent encapsulation of the last few years on here

[molly taft @mollytaft]

lots of corporate press / comms people asking me to share drafts of stories before publication (??) these days. baby that is not how it has ever worked

Commencement speaker: I love AI and I hate all of you. They gave me a big check to be here. I love firing people at my big company. I bet none of you would get jobs at my business now that we have AI
