Labor Day isn't a monument to a fight already won. It's a reminder the fight never stopped. Nurses standing up to Palantir. Starbucks Union boycotting their employer. Teachers and engineers threaten to strike. Worker protections under attack. That wasn't 1894. That was this week.
It’s simple: a major goal of education, at least in principle, is to teach kids how to STRUGGLE & WORK THROUGH challenges to develop critical thinking. LLMs obviously undermine this. It’s like building a gym where the machines lift the weights for you. It’s 100% counterproductive
Anytime you have the opportunity to fall in love in your life, I recommend you do it! It’s scary, and it’s a huge risk, but love is such a beautiful thing. Especially when it’s real on your part.
The single greatest way to prevent crime is to prevent poverty. Investing in living wages, education, job training, public transit, and affordable housing. That's it. It's not vilifying immigrants. It's not surveilling every corner. Want safer streets? Start with living wages.
Pritzker: I have to worry about whether people can eat lettuce or blueberries off a grocery shelf because Trump is doing away with food inspections.
I have to track measles outbreaks because the president put a madman in charge of vaccine recommendations.
I have to monitor the movements of ICE agents because he handed guns to people who couldn’t pass a background check, frankly, to work in an animal shelter.
I have to find money that we don’t have to fight problems that didn’t exist before Donald Trump. It’s the reality of being a governor in America today. I’m not the only one.

Yes! From the housing secrets , the slang, The fashion. Omg nothing sacred. Ppl so quick to go viral by putting ppl on to shit that we have nothing sacred anymore .
AI will do to minds what the decline in manual labor did to bodies.
The privileged few will keep exercising their minds with literature, art and science, just like they kept exercising their bodies despite escalators, elevators and desk work.
The many will suffer something akin to the obesity crisis but for the mind.
as much as I laugh at the “can’t wait till HE dies” tweets, I can’t help but notice that it’s just another way people tie the evils of the american empire to one figure instead of a whole system. ultimately, him dying is meaningless because MAGA will live on
Not good enough. How about this:
“CDC urges all unvaccinated Americans to get vaccinated for measles. The vaccine is safe, and 2 doses is 97% effective in preventing measles infection.”
