In which Bezos instructs his minions to go to work on behalf of Trump’s fascism.

Expect future editorials to explain to Americans why we no longer should want things like clean water, free & fair elections, food security, unpolluted air or undeveloped nature.

They are dangerous and bad now.

It’s a lovely if subdued light show that’s very atmospheric in vibe.

It’s not a whimsical in your face light show with LED dinosaurs 🦕 eating bugs 🐞.

Definitely check it out

If your AI cannot be converted to Catholicism, the Pope says no.

Sounds like a partnership with OpenAI to train their language model to output religious solutions for secular problems is a no-go for now 🤷
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

Park Merced is SF's largest rental housing complex.

This is not a housing project.

This is MARKET RATE HOUSING.

Average SF renters are being screwed six ways from Sunday while having to pay the rent and their elected Supervisor Myrna Melgar does nothing.

I hadn't heard the term "Kavanaugh stop" before.

As a longtime editor: Accurate and precise. Excellent word choice.

As a longtime American: OMG this story. An affront to our nation. These ICE agents are committing child abuse. When all is said and done, they must be the ones brought to trail.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.
