"AllTrails has a new generative AI feature that can be asked to 'shorten my route' or 'make this more scenic.' But the people in charge of searching for lost hikers say the feature is going to exacerbate an issue they’ve been warning about for years: hiking apps providing false information."

Lander is the guy who gives the whole thing away: he's extremely experienced, he's successfully promoted development and housing expansion—and yet the people who say those are what matters are throwing their money and grievance behind a washed-up ghoul they trucked in from Westchester

Border Patrol detained and deported an Australian writer who reported independently on the protests at Columbia, with CBP stating plainly they flagged him for that reason. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

motorists will never notice cuts to fuel duty (which they permanently be convinced is too high, and in fact actually purposefully being set to victimise them), but the state will bleed itself dry for their discount that doesn't touch the sides, in a way they never would for public transport users

South Africa celebrates Youth Day today in which Black schoolkids in 1976 rose up to protest apartheid laws designed to further hamper their abilities to learn by making Afrikaans - a language few of them spoke - the language of instruction. In response, SA cops killed hundreds of them: CHILDREN.

The people getting the heebie-jeebies over ICE protests are the same ones who demonized Martin Luther King Jr. when he was alive. But miraculously, they've become experts on racial justice, protest & "what MLK believed" That whitewashed version of MLK is as historically accurate as Santa Claus

this is fucking despicable. all of american healthcare is pretty despicable, of course, but suddenly demanding $2880 extra a year for lifesaving medication from a whole kind of people because the government now considers that kind of people gross & an affront to god is fucking despicable.

I don’t really have words to explain how it feels to see Kristi Noem standing on a street in East LA that looks like the street I grew up on in East LA with an invading military force trying to kidnap people who look like the neighbors I grew up with. It stays with you, spiritually.

When I went into labor, I put off leaving home for hours, fearing Israeli soldiers and settlers. We reached the hospital in Hebron in time, but not all are so lucky. www.972mag.com/palestinian-...

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

The combined 2024 budgets of NSF, NIH, and NASA were around $80 billion, or 100x this package. It makes sense for other countries to try to capitalize on the idiocy that has captured our government, but it's important to remember the sheer scale and irreplaceability of the US research enterprise.

i'd like to sincerely apologize for missing the mark with the satire in this post. the lack of clarity and purpose has led to it being mistaken for and contributing to that which it intended to criticize. i do NOT think you need to invite people over who want to kill you with hammers

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.
