Useful study. But imagine if the these same insights, generated by gaggles of humanities scholars & educators in recent years, were taken half as seriously as Brain Data™️. One might even argue that the systematic devaluation of such knowledge has created the cultural conditions for AI’s adoption 🤔

The SFMTA just voted 6-1 to approve a new “refuge permit” — a major step toward enforcing San Francisco’s citywide two-hour parking limit for RVs. Can it actually get enforced? Read about the controversial policy: eltecolote.org/content/en/s...

very disappointed. but when you hear something, try to see if you can find a name cited or some other sources that report it perhaps from a different angle

The Trump “migrant crime” smear tactic comes straight out of the Nazi playbook. Trump has been pushing this narrative since his 5th day in office. In January 2017, he ordered his new administration to publish weekly lists of crimes committed by migrants — which is exactly what the Nazis did to Jews.

Wrote this in the summer of 2020, definitely a good sign to be dusting it off now. "Less lethal" weapons are tools of colonial occupation marketed to police, and tools of police marketed to colonial soldiers. Anti-civilian weapons more than "less-lethal" www.scientificamerican.com/article/what...

No War on Iran! Weds 5-6 by the Unity Sculpture at Courthouse Square in Santa Rosa. It's during the Weds. Night Market so parking will be a bit tougher. Bring a sign if you've got one! #SantaRosa #SonomaCounty

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

While Mike Lee and Steve Daines' Senate Natural Resources Committee amendment to the budget reconciliation package mandates the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of public land, what most people miss is that it also authorizes the sale of 258 million acres. That's 40 percent of all public land:

A lot of liberals are trying to ignore & obfuscate that their new favorite nonviolent activist organization is culpable for a bad shooting against a locally known SLC Latino antiracist activist, who they are now trying to railroad on murder charges for another protestor shot by a 50501 "peacekeeper"

The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people: A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died. A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

You can't call your protest safe for disabled people or the elderly if you are actively criminalizing the wearing of masks. You can't call your protest safe for disabled people or the elderly if you are not mandating the wearing of masks.

And when you consider there was a similar large turnout across the bay in San Francisco at the same time…

Glad they accurately reported the turnout — usual media tendency is to low-ball — but the violence was two incidents of people running their cars into protesters.😡

A classic example of "yes, there has been an administrative change that allows this, and there would have been other such advisories historically" AND "yes, in addition, climate change has also increased summer temperatures in Alaska and made anomalous heat events more likely/more intense."

Adding a couple more things: If you plan not to be arrested, keep track of where the police are and your potential exits from the scene. This will help avoid getting caught up in a mass arrest. If you do need to get away from the scene, walk fast, it's safer than running, for you and the crowd.

Bad indeed. Regardless of what you think about PSL specifically, this is a threat to any group that helps organize & support protests. You can’t — & shouldn’t — control every agitator who shows up.

It's easy to have principles for white cis people. In a couple days trans people will effectively be erased from existence. Trans kids are already dying. Trans women have been killed in men's jail. You're not owed our deaths for your principles. We will fight how we see fit.

Padilla says he was not arrested & not detained — not a surprise, since he didn’t commit a crime. Clearly they’re doing it all for show.
