You use CheckMarx to see how you are vulnerable. I check Marx to see how you are vulnerable. We are not the same.

Care is the holy grail of automation. Because we need it to survive, but it's too labor-intensive to be profitable, even as it gets more expensive. And because we could make it a public good, but only by raising taxes on billionaires.
So, be *very* skeptical when they claim AI can replace care.

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

Starting in Milan, in 73, revolutionary groups would mass up, go into supermarkets and chase out the bosses/security, get on the loudspeaker and declare everything free. They would then make revolutionary speeches while shoppers gleefully enjoyed the discount. They called this "proletariat shopping"

Friendly reminder that Tidal ($10.99) is now cheaper than Spotify ($11.99), delivers better audio quality, pays its artists 2x as much, and generally doesn't allow AI slop.
You can move your entire music library over in a matter of minutes.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.
NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

I am here to appreciate the way the judge wrote "[Z]eitgeist", implicitly criticizing counsel's German syntax.
This is a really fun read even for non-lawyers. It’s four pages.
OMG - the judge in Florida just sua sponte struck the complaint in the Trump v NYT case for -wait for it - violating Rule 8.
Lawyers, tell the folks at home how hard it is to get the complaint struck outright for something like that in fed eral court.

finally, after so many years of Trump, there's a bold, inspirational new dream for liberalism: a younger, less demented, and better-looking-in-a-suit president who can also revel in punishing the homeless while cameras roll

@yvonnezlam.bsky.social That PDF you shared — I couldn’t reply directly — is fascinating. Very “Seeing Like A State” in some ways.
