I'm reading an opinion piece from 1913 arguing that the wharfside strike in Wellington is due to compulsory education and the high wages employers are forced to pay these days. The more things change, etc.

I'll never forget that Linda Tirado lost an eye and is dying from TBI-induced dementia caused by a cop shooting her in the face by a rubber bullet at the George Floyd protests.

"What we’re seeing now with FEMA is the falsest promise of the Reagan Revolution coming to its final resting place: the lie that if we stop paying for things in just the right way, they will keep working anyway." A chilling but extremely important read.

For anyone who thinks I'm joking here (and it's funny, but no) rumor is that the National Guard deployed in LA was sent under a 29 day order to avoid housing allowances, which means they have to fully pay for their own shelter. In LA. Zero notice. Durable fascisms don't shortchange the muscle.

Taiwan is offering vaccines to higher risk groups every two months. Meanwhile in the UK clinically vulnerable aren’t all even being offered vaccines. Care to explain why UKHSA are so different? @teamlabouruk.bsky.social www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/6129174

The AI industry is full of blatant lies, but the claim that we can reliably detect AI-generated writing is one of the worst. The idea that these pseudoscientific AI writing detectors are being used to justify punishing young people makes me incandescent with rage.

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

“People have said to me: perhaps radical rudeness will not oust Museveni. And I say:perhaps the intention is not to use rude poetry & big breasts in public to oust Museveni; perhaps the idea is to invite others to be able to poke holes in this huge over-glorification of a mighty,untouchable demigod"
