Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

Growing up in Northern California and being a die-hard #Athletics fan gave me plenty of reasons to hate the Dodgers. Seeing a more than half empty upper deck at dodger stadium for an elimination game is just confirmation that I was right. #nlcs #brewers

Jake Bauers went back to baseball for healthcare coverage for his pregnant wife. Don’t get me wrong, I love sports. But having to return so you won’t go bankrupt for having a baby is insane.

Wary or weary? #heron #birds

Thought I would take a break from constantly hearing about AI, prediction markets, and betting apps by watching an #NFL game where there are non-stop ads for AI, prediction markets, and betting apps 🙄

"You're a NIMBY about AI data centers!" Actually I'm a NOMP (Not On My Planet) about privately-owned fixed-location infrastructure externalizing the cost of burning hydrocarbons for energy. If they had to pay what this really costs society in health and climate harms, they wouldn't do it.

it's a bit concerning that instead of responding to obvious political incentives and moderating on some of their worst and most unpopular policies, the Trump administration is getting more and more extreme

President Trump is tapping $20M in Homeland Security funds to pay for TV ads that heavily feature him ahead of the midterm elections, Democrats said Tuesday as the promos critics call propaganda come under bipartisan attack. @jonshorman.bsky.social reports for @statesnewsroom.com

We found some more fraud, waste, and abuse. The third government-funded Trump ad has been identified by AdImpact in recent days. The latest ad is nearly identical to a video Trump posted during his 2024 presidential campaign. It shows him walking down a hallway declaring, “This is the final battle.”

WTAF???? Watching an #nfl game and this ad comes on. Literally sick to my stomach.

OpenAI warns US government may be compromised by bots www.channel4.com/news/openai-...

A MORATORIUM ON DATA CENTERS SHOULDN’T EVEN BE IN QUESTION AT THIS POINT And we definitely need more reporting on this issue: HEAT Data centers devour electricity and water, dump heat into communities, and Big Tech is building them faster than lawmakers are dealing with the consequences.

@thatbootlegguy.bsky.social Immediately below your post about the A's s using AI slop I found this story, and now I'm wondering if and when I'm ever going to wake up from this nightmare I seem to be stuck in.

So good to see that the resistance is alive and well in one of the most conservative areas of Northern California.

we have control mechanisms for this. it's called The Law. these guys should be held personally liable for these harms. the suicides, the thefts, the intrusions into computer systems. they should be sued and prosecuted as appropriate. problem immediately solved

What happened after OpenAI banned the first account was astonishing: ChatGPT advised the shooter about how to evade its own safeguards on violence. “Don’t use real-world locations,” ChatGPT said, later adding: “You can still be twisted. Just be clever about it.” www.motherjones.com/media/2026/0...

OpenAI did not respond to my requests for comment and detailed questions I submitted to them for this story. The company faces a deluge of lawsuits and is under criminal investigation in Florida. OpenAI denies all the allegations. The BC AG is the latest to file suit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gstC...

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

JFC The VERY first thing Dems should do if they win the midterms is impeach this impossibly dangerous crackpot.

I mean, yes, obviously, no shit

Next up: Rebellion of the Hanged (Mexico, 1954) Off to Mexico for another film about people treating other people badly. #filmsky boxd.it/amSy

Just watched: Boy (Japan, 1969) The problem with watching a masterpiece like Fanny and Alexander is that whatever you watch next is going to pale in comparison. #filmsky boxd.it/gmxeu7

My favorite thing about the Angels is that they make the #Athletics look good

Never thought I'd reach the day where I am holding onto a Jennifer Doudna interview like it's a security blanket but this is genuinely what I feel the normative scientific view should be and it is almost *never* platformed youtu.be/n-hWHV2ZKOA?...

Debating on whether to switch from the #Brewers game to the #athletics. Hoping the Brewers can hang on to their 17 run lead

My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday. I watched the five plus hour version of Fanny and Alexander. I was a little afraid at first, but I became completely engrossed in the story and by the end decided it's one of the best things I've ever seen.

Is it already too late?

75 years young ❤️😍 Happy Birthday to Christine Ellen Hynde, American singer-songwriter and musician, born on this day in 1951, Akron, Ohio, US 📸 Graham Tarrant #punk #punks #punkrock #womenofpunk #chrissiehynde #history #punkrockhistory #otd

Players from St. Louis and Colorado tilted their caps Saturday night in apparent protest of umpire Doug Eddings one day after he instructed Cardinals rookie pitcher Hancel Rincon to straighten his hat.

As Dallas reminded me a few minutes ago, Happy 20-wins-in-a-row day, AKA Moneyball day, to those of us who celebrate. I was there with my then 4yo son. The #athletics have given me plenty of great memories over the years, that game was among the best. @thatbootlegguy.bsky.social

I saw several anhingas sunbathing like this today. I've never seen so many doing that at the same time. My guess is a storm had just come through so they all needed to dry out before getting back in the water to go fishing again. #birds

Next up: Boy Not the Taika Waititi film (which I loved) or any of the other 61 films named boy on lettrrboxd. It's this one⬇️ #filmsky boxd.it/3xKQ

Just watched: An award-winning Iranian movie shot on the sly on the streets of Tehran. #filmsky boxd.it/g4Oxrj

I love it when movies have a perfect visual. This is from the Iranian film 'It Was Just an Accident', which was surprisingly a bit of a dark comedy. This is a picture of my TV screen so obviously not quite as good a screen capture as I would like.
