I don't believe people fully understand just how bad it is for Mamdani's to fund organizations like JCRC. We sued a school district last month after the local JCRC effectively compelled the district to punish students for wearing Palestine related clothing. The JCRC's position

[Writers Against the War on Gaza @wawog_now]

We are humbled to present the largest oral archive of testimony from Gaza produced since the genocide began, a collective memorial to the journalists who gave their lives to tell their people’s stories. LISTEN: https://t.co/qTS04mJsON

A new investigation reveals how PayPal is subjecting its Palestinian users to new updates that require biometric verification and the collection of selfies and identity documents, while transferring the management of these processes to an Israeli entity and partnering with a company led by former Israeli Military Intelligence officials linked to Unit 8200.

In addition, PayPal prevents Palestinians from selecting Palestine as their country, while facilitating access to its services for Israeli settlers.

Wrote about narcoterrorism and last week's illegal boat strike death spree, which killed 8 people and stranded 6 others. https://t.co/Yu0TXZifjP

I wrote about the maze within a maze that NYCHA tenants have to navigate to get repairs done.

[City Limits @CityLimitsNews]

Inspections by the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development are one of the only tools NYCHA tenants have for securing overdue repairs. But tenants and legal advocates say scheduling snafus make those fights even harder. https://t.co/7t8oqm1HkL

That the NYT propelled her ascent and is now breathlessly covering the ensuing wreckage is totally lost on her. An ideology of perpetual victimhood means she'll never see the machine for what it is, how it already functions in her favor.

Great blog on why Bari Weiss is too stupid to be an effective rightwing propagandist. https://t.co/mZtiQIbzOs

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

The % of Dems who have a positive view of Israel is at 13%—less than the % of Dems who support full abortion bans & prayer in schools. Here I ask why US media keeps insisting support for Israel is “dividing democrats” when—in reality—it’s a fringe position https://t.co/61BRqAQQwo

I wrote about the people striking against conditions of torture and death at Delaney Hall, the infamous private ICE jail in New Jersey https://t.co/ADMDFgr8eZ

@Tanvim that’s MY faculty of the year

Truly a must read story. What they did to journalist Amal Khalil, with the world watching and praying for her, is unspeakable. https://t.co/lHJs3uHtIJ

[Laila Al-Arian @LailaAlarian]

The legendary Al Jazeera journalist Wael Al Dahdouh, whose wife, children and grandchild were killed by Israel, said he was disappointed that fellow journalists did not pressure the world to stop the killing in Gaza.

“The truth was also a casualty of the genocide.”

[BreakThrough News @BTnewsroom]

Marxist economist Prabhat Patnaik discusses the dialectics of aggression vs. the dialectics of resistance — and how the entire Global South may in be danger of recolonization if Iran falls.

In any case, how impressive is it for a model to calculate that carrot & rabbit are correlated? Or that "grab it" rhymes with "rabbit?" That's what all the data in the world, the trillions of gallons of water, the metric tons of pollution is worth? That's what all this is worth?

The central question of this article—"does this thing think and feel?"—is a useful pivot for tech companies when the answer to "can it do useful shit" is too often no, especially for how expensive AI is.

Experiments conducted with the A.I. system Claude are producing fascinating results—and raising questions about the nature of selfhood. Gideon Lewis-Kraus reports from inside the company that designed it, Anthropic. https://t.co/8XB4f9yILJ

I was curious about the couplet, so I googled it. This second-grade level couplet is being milked for all its worth, hung up on the wall like a child's macaroni art since MARCH of last year!
