AI is being used to justify firing workers at major tech companies, leaving those that remain to pick up the pieces. AI code is being shoveled into crucial Google products, replacing trainers at TikTok, and worse. This, in tech workers' own words, is how AI is killing jobs in Silicon Valley.

I know that this is going to be lost in the roar of big players but there are other clinics with a majority of patients who are Medicaid recipients - and this ruling opens up the avenue for states to refuse to allow us to be approved providers of care. And we have far fewer resources to weather it.

I try not to amplify stuff from Twitter, but this is hilarious – conservatives (and some Democrats who supported Cuomo) are tripping over themselves to come up with sinister reasons why Mamdani won.This one insists it was the way in which his videos made him & his city seem pleasant (so unfair!)

the NYT doesn't address it but one reason why everyone w/eyes could see the antisemitic smears against Mamdani were BS is that the last two weeks of the campaign was just wholesome content of him hugging, riding bikes and petting good dogs with Brad Lander—the most Jewish uncle candidate of all time

Another understated part of the Parliamentarian's rulling: The OBBB's ban on gender-affirming care for Medicaid would have codified definitions "male" and "female" in terms of coverage. That Parliamentarian said this language violated the Byrd rule.

The Roberts Court, in one fell swoop, has: 1) Allowed states to defund Planned Parenthood even for non-abortion care so to... 2) Rip away people's right to choose their care provider under Medicaid while... 3) Advancing a neoconfederate understanding of our civil rights laws. This can't go on.

I want cis people to know that there aren't "difficult questions" from transphobes. They might ask something you don't know how to articulate your position on, or something where you could fall into a rhetorical trap they set, but once you've done it a few times they are easy. GCs are stupid

There was a great paper studying how South Korean society responded to COVID through a mechanism called quadruple learning loops. It seems like this loop has broken down across societies globally - and so we see the lessons learned disappearing from our decision-making. (thread)

Beyond the greasiness of buying the election, Ackman once again repeats the trope that NYC is “becoming more violent” while NYC right now has the lowest murder and violent crime rate in recorded history. You can’t overstate how deranged these people are, genuinely living in an imaginary world.

1. Billionaire investor Bill Ackman is trying to recruit a write-in candidate to run against Zohran Mamdani. This would only help Mamdani as it would take votes away from Eric Adams.

The residents of Los Angeles, a city that is virtually bankrupt because of how much it spends on its police, deserves a response from its local government that protects it from the violent & tyrannical raids that are tearing up our community. This is unacceptable.

It’s really hard to see this as anything other than LAPD cooperating with ICE. It appears LAPD responded to a call about a kidnapping, prevented angry people from stopping the kidnapping, and then cleared a path for the kidnappers (ICE) to escape. www.latimes.com/california/s...

When I was growing up in California, I lived in a town governed by a POS who successfully campaigned on a platform of mass immigrant deportation & indefinite incarceration at detention centers. When Latines & allies cried foul, we were treated like we were overreacting. That POS was George Hobbs.

I want to stress that Trump’s first two slates of judicial nominees have been nothing like the Federalist Society picks from his first term. They are Trump loyalists who got the nod by auditioning with some grand gesture to prove their bona fides. It’s part pay to play, part spoils system.
