In my opinion, Trump's shift on this issue ("stop raiding farms and hotels") demonstrates the US needs to have an honest conversation about the role of undocumented immigrants in this country. And who constitutes this population. I'm afraid the rhetoric has already poisoned the well.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

this is correct, but some questions that might be asked in response to this state of play: what is the value of "reach"? can something be good and useful if it reaches a smaller audience, or do we believe that scale is always and everywhere the goal? Has scaling to the highest reach served us well?

BREAKING: NYPD and ICE mistakenly arrested a Chilean woman who was on vacation in New York City, leaving her 12-year-old daughter on the street alone. This is what happens when you embolden ICE to act with zero oversight. Trump’s America.

FREE ADVICE: so, there's a filmmaking concept called "business." "Business" is, essentially, the stuff your character does while talking. Fixing a car engine, ice skating, eating an ice cream cone, ducking gunfire. You gotta give your characters "business" so they're not just standing there yappin'.

Francesca Albanese— "I call it genocide b/c IT IS genocide. Defined by intent, not by method or means. Visible without magnification—if we look with context, at the victims: what they share is being part of a group, as such. B/c of it, they get killed, tortured, maimed, starved, raped, massacred."

If white people across the country started singing “Free Palestine” to the tune of “Sweet Caroline” when a little drunk this summer at their white people bars in their little polos and $70 flip flops I think the worst “journalists” in the world would actually implode

To be clear, it doesn’t make you a visionary or genius to want to discard the incredibly complex and special planet we have, in favour of a staggeringly less habitable planet that only the mega-rich could hope to get to. It takes a superhuman level of lazy, toddler-like selfishness and squandering.
