I wrote about @NickKristof’s piece on the systematic sexual abuse and torture of Palestinians in Israeli prisons, and why the accounts he describes are not “blood libel” and should not be dismissed: https://t.co/AciGC3man4

Have tweeted this before, but my lesson from the Grid/Messenger experience was that if you write stuff on the internet for a living, you should be keeping a backup of your work.
I use Authory but I'm sure there are other methods out there.

[Emily 🗣️ Tamkin @emilyctamkin]

For @jdforward, I wrote about taking reports of sexual violence seriously regardless of the nationality of the reported perpetrator

I used to sit in this place every day, spending the sunset hours watching life in those tents. Each tent had a story, a struggle to get water and food. The children cried from the heat, from exhaustion and boredom. Nothing changed; the suffering continued, and no one cared. ❤️‍🩹

This chart shows trend back to 2004. We have long tracked this shift of ad revenues from everyone else to Google. What often gets missed is the rest of the web is still vital for Google for data - user data, clicks, context, and now training of AI. They just take the cash. 2/2

“This kind of thinking is what allowed these women to suffer for so long, and for us to hold onto the notion that Cesar was an enlightened leader for the union...the union succeeded most when it acted collectively, and in some cases defied Cesar Chavez.” https://t.co/CuKFEjPoj2

[Seth Maxon @sethmaxon]

I interviewed César Chavez biographer and professor Matt Garcia about what to do with his memory and legacy now. He says we need more than a reckoning; the survivors deserve accountability. https://t.co/CuKFEjPoj2

The OpenAI Foundation on paper is worth $180B—more than 2x the Gates Foundation. What’ll it do with that fortune? And can it really fulfill its mission to hold OpenAI itself (and the entire AI industry) accountable to “all humanity”? https://t.co/Gkpiq4sShp | by @SaraHerschander
