U.S. nonfarm payrolls added only 29,000 jobs, well below expectations, in September while unemployment rose to 4.2 percent. Good luck to Republicans spinning this away. (Image by @byheatherlong.bsky.social)

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

as much as i respect and have been grateful for the work of academics on fascism my experience of it here and now really reinforces my belief that the simplest and truest definition of it is "abusers uniting to defend and expand their ability to abuse"

I feel like I'm going to want to be able to reference this later, when I'm talking to people who are still wearing blinders

Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."

I've been in a lot of workplaces where the dominant messaging about how we should all act was that competition is what delivers the sharpest knowledge work, and I'd bet a lot of you have heard this too. But the science of group problem-solving tells a different story

I know the American education system will never have an internet literacy class bc it’s not in the state’s interest but this would be the kind of stuff people should learn before they’re allowed to vote

I agree 100% with Steven Vickers that authors will be falsely accused of using AI in the coming years. In particular, authors like myself whose works were stolen to train AI systems are at risk. When we write in our own unique styles, AI trained on us will quite likely flag us as using AI.
