"trickle down responsibility" in AI is going to be just as effective as trickle-down economics

[Liliana Segura @LilianaSegura]

This is why people are disrupting speeches. Every day another atrocity. Sure, Kamala’s response yesterday was better than before. But words are meaningless as long as this continues.

[Evan DeSimone @Smorgasboredom]

Maybe I’m naive, but I really do think there’s a lot of power in a ticket made up of pleasant happy people who don’t seem furious at huge numbers of Americans simply for existing,

Who else remembers being against the iraq war and people being like oh wow so you dont SUPPORT OUR TROOPS?!?! And then having the most dumb conversation about being anti american when you were just anti killing innocent people. Anyway this feels like that.

[Ady Barkan @AdyBarkan]

Hi all, this is Ady’s wife, Rachael. I’m devastated to share the news that Ady has died from complications of ALS. You probably knew Ady as a healthcare activist. But more importantly he was a wonderful dad and my life partner for 18 years. [1/4]

[Devex @devex]

.@WorldConnectUS applied to @USAID through an unsolicited proposals route for $1.4m Fixed Amount Award for its grassroots grantmaking model in Malawi. @NathensonPamela shares her learnings and insights in this #Opinion.

As ever, Nancy Pelosi treats progressives agitating for action as the enemy, and ends up sabotaging her own side

As is the case with several humanitarian crises around the world, the first responders to the deadly Cyclone Freddy in Malawi were the communities that live in the areas affected, not international/humanitarian organisations.

This is an old family recipe reimagined by my clever Cousin John — it is amazing! I put it on everything! If you don’t trust me, take it from one of my favorite comedians @michaelianblack

[Jason Short @jason4short]

I had to make a before and after to really appreciate how good the James Webb Telescope really is.

[World Connect @WorldConnectUS]

Great piece on a two time grantee Lusolanga Youth Club and @ChenjeziJc https://t.co/j48GWAAraB

[Adam Serwer 🍝 @AdamSerwer]

Remember how we were on the verge of living under a taliban style regime? This was a national emergency for eight years. And then it stopped being politically useful so it just ceased to be a fixation, and all those grifters faded or moved onto fomenting other panics.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish we are going to cut child poverty in half with this bill.

[Jay @jaywillis]

Absolutely wild how, like, “thinking briefly about whether saying X might be hurtful to someone who isn’t me” got repackaged as some kind of terrible burden that We As A Society should not tolerate and cannot bear

[Ezra Levin @ezralevin]

After Sandy Hook, 58 senators joined commonsense legislation to address gun violence. It died by filibuster. Sinema's defense of the filibuster is total BS. https://t.co/CdTCokzgtA
