SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

If you Google "inauguration day," you're greeted with an animation of fireworks forming the shape of the American flag. Google has never done something like this for the inauguration, sources told me, out of fear of appearing partisan. But that's changed now, with Sergey and Sundar attending.

Sometimes, AI Agents sound gimmicky promising to automate entire developer workflows. Why cant I just code myself and will they really replace devs? But the average developer isn't just coding. They're caregiving, teaching, maintaining OSS, running side hustles.

Logged on after a purposeful day of not watching the news, logging off now after seeing the trash fire it was always gonna be. For the next 4 years, I'm going to try to focus on helping my local community and orgs. It's the best thing I can think to do in the face of... all of this.

If you didn’t use TikTok much, you probably didn’t know that that’s where so many of the science educators and climate activists were meeting people where they’re at, sharing and informing, activating and building community.

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

Posts like this are designed to guilt women into stay-at-home motherhood. Because if this is what counts as "good mothering," then there's no way to be a "good mom" working for pay full-time.

Now I’m barely on Twitter/X I’m reposting here some very kind feedback about my book “AI Needs You”. Here’s a recommendation from @jasonfurman.bsky.social who is so clever and well-read you should take it very seriously:

I’ve been waiting for Jill Lepore to write about recent AI discourse and she didn’t disappoint. I don’t agree with every characterisation but my goodness doesn’t it just highlight the relative lack of quality of most other commentary. Her perceptive weaving of past and present remains unmatched.

This is why feminism is never a side issue, never a distraction. This is why dismantling toxic masculinity & the structures that feed & recreate it is vital for democracy, justice, & the survival of the planet.

Here's a 3m yt video about the current and rising extent of sillicon valley and big tech's influence on our world if not our government too, ending on a call to reclaim our power, by Julia Stoyanovich from NYU's center for responsible AI. Structual violence visualized accessibly. Worth watching!
