“The AI is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you…”

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ.

[Christopher Robbins @ChristRobbins]

If I were one of NYC's numerous billionaires, I would simply replace Caputo's oven and steam generator for them, thus delighting untold New Yorkers for what would be the equivalent of $5.00, and then keep doing fun little favors like this until I died

BECOME UNGOVERNABLE

[Douglas Farrar @DouglasLFarrar]

The FTC just settled with OkCupid and Match Group for secretly handing nearly 3 million users' dating profile photos and location data to Clarifai, a company that builds facial recognition software(!!!).

The penalty? A promise not to do it again.

"Goldin had one requirement: She refused to be paid." 😲

WNBA players association got pro bono assistance from a big timer! Respect

I think Zohran's co-opting of efficiency from the right will be seismic for the American socialist project. We need to run a national campaign against The Contractor State—neoliberalism's grand, massively inefficient outsourcing of government functions to private contractors.

At 95, I'm still smokin'! 😝

I’ve learned two things:

Never waste a good cigar.
Never trust anyone who says you should ‘act your age.’ 😉👍🏻

And yet we all know what TikTok is today because Bytedance spent 3 billion in ads in 2018…

ICE and DHS are active in The U.S. Virgin Islands. That's the Caribbean.

Those terrorists are now active in the Caribbean, and they're kidnapping Black people.
I SAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN.
I said the U.S. is trying to colonise the Caribbean, and ICE and DHS are a paramilitary force

Too much of the overall advertising discourse is focused on startups.

Advertising used to be sexy and interesting and cool. The closest any commercial profession could come to the practice of art.

You people have bastardized it into performance paid ROAS media slop.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

[scott belsky @scottbelsky]

how long until we’ll need to give an app or website keyboard access and use FaceID for “proof of human” commenting, purchasing, and form completion?

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

I sounds like a broken record but we are losing the ability to consume information or speak online and the entire left is either not speaking about this at all or basically abdicating this issue.

Well, RIP Reddit

"Anna" shares, " I'm a student. During strawberry season I work in the fields with my brothers to help my mom with the rent. It is very hard because we work piece rate for 2 months-going as fast as we can. There's little work for the next 4 months so we need to save." #WeFeedYou

[WarTranslated @wartranslated]

Russia's main TV channel is airing songs about how great life is without the internet. Getting even closer to North Korea.

Viva la Huelga, long live @UFWupdates. They Feed Us.
