2/2 Renters organized for this. KC Tenants pushed the Tenant Bill of Rights through in 2019, & Kansas Citians marched for the right to a lawyer in 2021. Now the city puts $2.6M a year behind it. Facing eviction? Ask about right to counsel at your first hearing. Send this to someone behind on rent.

NEW: An ICE flight headed for Moldova turned around over the Atlantic Ocean yesterday and flew back to an ICE hub, returning 15 hours after it left. We don’t know why. Video I obtained from the scene shows 11 exhausted and shackled people disembark. gillianbrockell.com/why-did-this...

It’s fine, the bubble will pop very soon and that $600 billion will never materialize.
Meta is spending $600 billion+ to build out its AI model. That model is being aggressively integrated into platforms used by 3.9 billion people. This week, Meta announced its AI will be trained on content from Newsmax, the far-right website with a history of promoting pro-Trump conspiracy theories.

Running out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...
And Anthropic is supposed to be the “good” AI company.
I can’t stop thinking about Anthropic’s destructive book scanning. Obviously, it’s gross. People love books. Destroying books makes people mad. Even books they don't actually care about. AI companies know this, that’s why they try to keep their weird behavior a dirty little secret.
