I'm not an activist, but I'd like to find some way to support LGBT folks directly (especially the T). Any suggestions?

I asked ChatGPT to recommend pretty churches with stained glass windows near me...and got a recommendation for Michael's crafts store. When I walked WTF, it apologized and gave me the same response. Is this the beginning of ads?

"Even Ray Charles could see what's going on." Said NYC mayor Eric Adams claiming that enemies were unfairly investigating him. As a vision-impaired person, I have a thick skin and good sense of humor. I'm not necessarily offended, but still the comment is a bit tacky. Not a good look, so to say.

One bit of good news in the LA wildfires. The Getty Villa museum of Greek and Roman art has survived, despite devastation right up to the property line. Losing this mindblowing collection would have been...mindblowing. www.newsweek.com/pacific-pali...

I've been playing with chatbots to provide news summaries. ChatGPT is doing quite well, Google Gemini not so much. It predicted fed rate hikes and provided these worthless summaries of entertainment news.

This is an interesting strategy by Elon Musk to make America great, and perhaps not what the Americans who voted for Trump had in mind

This @nytimes.com profile of the Syrian city Homs succinctly shows how brutal and grim the past decade+ has been. Startling drone footage of the largely leveled ancient city. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/19/w...

Wow, these #Amazon strikes organized by the @teamsters.bsky.social are really taking off. Is this a new era of big-tech activism? And what can we expect from tech office workers next year?

More Amazon Teamsters authorize strike-now at DIL7 station in Skokie, Ill. I feel good that @fastcompany.com started reporting on tech labor activism (not just @ Amazon) before latest wave of strikes. Sources like @techworkerscoalition.org say expect a lot more in 2025 @teamsters.bsky.social #Amazon

We wrote about little-know hybrid-electric airplane technology in the @wsj.com in August. @archeraviation.bsky.social 's deal to develop hybrid craft for the military indicates that this trend may have legs. And OG electric plane expert Mark Moore's LinkedIn commentary backs that up.

Randy Korgan of @teamsters.bsky.social #amazon division told @fastcompany.com “What goes beyond that is a tremendous amount more,” foreshadowing future efforts like the new union that formed in San Bernardino 12/11. www.fastcompany.com/91241440/how...

. @marencosta.bsky.social tells @fastcompany.com “I think that tech workers are taking a hit down to realize we're just workers. We're just kind of cogs...like any other worker.” - creating common cause with the less-elite big tech employees.

This is a great, sobering inventory of rising security threats and the dearth of laws and regulations to address them. Perhaps endangered more by the new Administration? Though Trump's positions are not very clear.

A year ago, @robpegoraro.com busted myths around "shrink" (lost and stolen products) at retail in his Worth magazine article. Just today, @bloomberglp.bsky.social caught onto that - as part of a larger, very interesting piece (Retailers Locked Up Their Products—and Broke Shopping in America).

I think publications like @fastcompany.com can label opinion pieces better. The tiny "POV" in gray text took me a while to find. Publications shouldn't worry about annoying billionaires, but cherry picking and combining snippets of quotes, which FC later acknowledged as an error, isn't a good look.

Lately I've been doing a lot of reporting on #longevity #healthspan #lifespan etc. I wonder if researcher/entrepreneur Matt Kaeberlein's public split from researcher/entrepreneur David Sinclair &co portends a bigger divide.
