the trump administration's foreign policy is, essentially, the same as their predecessors' foreign policy, or at least starts from similar premises but with different means and goals. trump just dispenses with the high-minded and pious lies previous presidents used to justify their atrocities.

if companies are looking for ways to cut labor costs (and they always are), cutting high-priced execs who outsource their thinking to a computer seems like a reasonable place to start
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Tons of people at the voting booth were like...
"Too much text on this charter change thing". Judging my knowledge of people, that's probably a no vote lol.
Also everyone was like, "Why are there so many candidates". So people probably had no idea who was who. It's a strange world.

Cambridge really needs to make its ballot more accessible. Things like spacing the candidates farther apart, and making the text bigger etc.
People are gonna be voting for the wrong candidates for sure haha.

Greta Thunberg has allegedly been tortured by Israeli forces after being detained in international waters.
Her crime? Trying to bring food, medicine, and supplies to the frontlines of a genocide.
This is absolutely unacceptable. Stop the blockade of aid! Release the flotilla activists!

Social housing just makes sense. It creates truly mixed-income communities. It's self sustaining. And it can add hundreds of new homes across the city, including many that are deeply affordable. Projects that are publicly owned & democratically controlled.

What execs are going to take away from Silksong: More layoffs! Smaller teams! Make Metroidvanias!!
What they should take away instead: Devs working on a game they're passionate about with no interference from execs and the time they need to get it done without shareholder pressure

No, Governor Healey, we don't need to "re-evaluate" the Fair Share Amendment because of debunked conservative talking points. We should be celebrating its success in funding critical new investments.
