Some people don't know this so it's worth saying out loud that Public libraries are free to use. And even if you have never used a library, the librarians at your local library will be very happy to see you and help you get started.

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

These hoodies are sewn using a double needle coverstitch for durability, but the underarm and side seams are sewn using a flatlock seam. This produces a smoother, flatter seam, removing the bump that can rub against the body.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

There’s a viral claim that no Moms for Liberty–endorsed candidates won “contested” school-board races this week. That claim is false. Not many wins, but not zero.

I'm going to have a lot more to say about this total bullshit claim by JD Vance, but just for now:
The state with the highest union density in the US is Hawaii, where multiracial unionism is a deep and abiding tradition.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

the conversation we should be having is that AI is developing and will certainly displace many workers, and we should develop government programs to even out the losses and gains between workers and capitalists. but instead we argue about whether a trans person was on netflix

I actually gasped. As a former public health reporter the MMWR is a big deal
The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.
The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.
We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.
