Apparently United Airlines has a new headphone policy where you can’t listen to audio or video on a personal device without headphones or you gotta leave and I think we should just do this everywhere.
Frankly surprised this isn't getting more attention. It's such an everyday thing. But a can of totally basic normal ground coffee at the supermarket costs like $16 now.
This cannot be stressed enough: Corrupt governments support genAI because they want you so overwhelmed by false images that you doubt the true images of their atrocities.
@megansarahj@thedigitamaven Totally. I walk to the T and home from the T and around my office and if I like go walk a few blocks to get lunch I’m basically at 10,000 for the day.
Everything about journalism sucks — the economics, vanishing attention spans, the descending global blackout curtain of dumbass, AI, the list goes on…
Only 3 things going for it:
We need it, humans not machines gotta do it and it’s the most rewarding profession in the world.
St. Louis is one of the more fascinating places I've ever been.
In parts, it feels like walking through the ruins of a once great Rome a century after the fall.
In others, it still hums with a glory that is rarely found in most cities globally
Please closely follow Minnesota Star Tribune as they lay facts upon facts to inform us all. Here is a link to their coverage, grateful to have a local free and plural press giving the public eyes and ears to hold government accountable - whether local, state or federal. /1
A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
@aaron_renn Hi. Traditional local (Boston) media here. We have these conversations all the time. We embrace them. Whither Boston is a really interesting question right now. I don’t know the answer but I’d bet on Boston figuring it out. And the Globe will help.
@petesaunders3@Matt_Pinner "confident nobody has all 20?" I assume that's engagement bait? (here we are). Anyone over the age of 40 would have done most of these. I got 19 just b/c we never owned an encyclopedia.
@AdamBerinsky You married the people! You walk all over the place in the weather! (I was being slightly facetious about the food but it HAS gotten better). You're us!
Multiple threads this morning with lots of replies being like "why do people even live in Boston," and if your answers aren't the people, the weather, and the food I'm not really sure what to tell you.
