That’s really inspiring

Ain’t no PR team that could dress this up as anything other than what* it is

I wish all fascists were like you (this guy probably isn’t a fascist guys, fat finger ban meant for someone else maybe?)

Internal security challenges

lol you mean the currently installed president who is the son of a military dictator?

You can spin it faster when you really really need to

Surprised but glad to see someone in all that mess at the NYT has a backbone

Thanks China, you’re far away and don’t have a lot of incentive to help little Cuba out, but we appreciate it!

I tried to find a legal way to invest in/donate to Cuba’s solar buildouts but couldn’t find one

I remember when the new york times participated in the genocide by platforming accusations of rape (and beheadings) against hamas that didn’t even meet their own journalistic standards for sources and verification, but they only let the well documented rape of numerous palestinians be published as opinion pieces.

Chowdhury, the Newham mayoral candidate, described accusations that the Greens have engaged in “sectarian” politics in campaigning on Gaza as “completely racist”.

“The Green Party is at the same time an Islamist party and a super LGBT party? Right. The reality is that we’re a coalition of progressive voices [that] wants to build a better society.”

Meanwhile, Faaiz Hasan, a national elections coordinator for the Green Party, framed the political debate in terms of class.

He told MEE last month that “this is the moment that we can actually start putting forward an alternative vision for the country that is not based on blaming migrants, is not based on blaming people of colour or others, but identifies that the real issue is not race, it’s class, and the concentration of wealth and power in a very tiny group of people”.

Just construction crews who happen to be foreign soldiers doing routine demolitions to properties they don’t own, nothing to see here.

I read Roman at first and was like “that’s not what happened…”

And which thing are they paying a price for?

That list at the bottom. Sounds pretty sus.

She ⁠was arrested in ​December after denouncing the death ​of a lawyer, Khosrow Alikordi; prosecutor Hasan Hematifar told reporters then she had ​made provocative remarks at Alikordi’s memorial ceremony.

Seven and a half years for “provocative remarks” at a funeral service

I was curious which ones they attributed to automation (which is only mentioned 4 times)

However, the analysis suggested that many layoffs are pre-emptive cost-cutting measures aimed at funding AI infrastructure, rather than a direct result of automation replacing jobs at scale.

Word. Threw it in the last sentence. A+ journalism.

The waves start comin’ and they don’t stop comin’

At Harvard, the school’s president recently decried “anti-Israeli bias,” which he called“insidious and maybe more corrosive of University life” than antisemitism.

I missed that one.

Influencer examples from the article:

“We need to invest in American-made AI to ensure America leads the way in innovation and job creation.”

‘“I just learned that China is trying really hard to beat the US in AI. If they do, it could mean that China gets personal data from me and my kids, and take jobs that should be here in the US In the AI innovation race, I’m Team USA!!!”

“AI is changing everything, and it’s important we keep building it here in the US”

“it’s important we invest in American AI so America leads the way in AI innovation and job creation.”

And one tech bro take:

“When people are worried about surveillance, of course, there are huge dangers there,” Karp said last year on The Axios Show, “but you know, you will have far fewer rights if America’s not in the lead.”

Very persuasive Mr. Karp.

This narrative doesn’t seem very compelling, space race seems like it was more fun.

Supposedly the French consulate denounced it in some way but I can’t find it (can’t find a story on France24 at all)

My mom works in a care home for seniors and one thing she’s done is asked residents about their entertainment needs and tried to bring in book/magazines that they like to stock the rec room. Probably not super useful at a regular hospital with more temporary stays.

In my area someone also organizes community care days for our unhoused populations. These consist in recruiting a bunch of local people willing to share their skills (haircuts, vaccines, medical consultation, painting nails, grooming or medical attention for pets, etc). They also rent mobile shower units. Since you can’t just go into the park and practice medicine by yourself the medical staff for these events come through a local non-profit that has done the necessary paperwork for insurance and stuff. These events sometimes draw people who are hesitant to visit the hospital for various reasons but would like to ask about a medical issue they’ve been experiencing.

I’ll try to think of more things. I agree the industry has tons of people who care deeply about other people and who would love to improve conditions (both for patients and workers).
