If it's unskilled labor, why didn't your buddy just do it himself?

My buddy just went to Home Depot to get a guy for unskilled day labor and the guy wanted $32 an hour

Just as the lies were vomited, just as the congresspeople frequently applauded, an air strike killed six people in my city of Beit Lahia. A school principal I worked with briefly was murdered. His name is Darwish Al-Ghirbawi. He was murdered in front of his house with his son, also a teacher, and other neighbors. You should be ashamed of inviting a war criminal, of receiving him, of listening to him, and worse of applauding his sheer lies. I’m angry more than ever.

…the mesothelioma recurrence killed him, not the wedding we had when we got news that the mesothelioma recurrence was going to kill him.

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future. wheresyoured.at/pop-culture/

This undercounting—deliberate undercounting as censorship and disinformation—is precisely how it played out (and is still in effect) in the Sri Lankan genocide as well. These are well-worn and much-bloodied techniques. Being able to recognize them is essential.

We all know that the confirmed figure of Palestinians killed so far is a gross undercount given the scale of destruction and bombing and mass killings. This projection of over 193,000 is far more likely. electronicintifada.net/content/math-p…

using this juncture in history not to slow down an extinction event, but instead to accelerate it, in service of building machines whose primary purpose is to render humans obsolete. silicon valley makes sense as a grand death drive project, a compulsion towards self annihilation

Notions of "objectivity" in video game discourse remain an absolute scourge. Why on earth would you not "recommend" a game you think is amazing?

Cryptmaster @thecryptmaster

Charming sentiment but rather amusingly this review did in fact drop us to 95%, so almost out of Overwhelmingly Positive. Unless you have a game which sells a LOT of copies, which unfortunately we don't, one review certainly can make a difference...

The cruelest myth of European colonization, whether in the subcontinent or the Levant or west Africa, remains the idea that we had nothing, that we didn’t build our societies & our peoples - that we would be wandering & wallowing in filth, were it not for their gracious violence.

Jessica Wick is one of my dearest friends; she co-founded Goblin Fruit with me, & is very much family. She lost her mother last month, & it's been harrowing to witness all the ways in which vicious systems essentially paywall the right to grieve.
