With AI’s job-killing, human-replacing revolution on the horizon, the unemployment rate for young graduates is already at its highest level since the start of the pandemic — the global scourge that, just six years ago, yanked those same kids out of high school and deferred their first sweet steps out of childhood. One bolt from the blue, then another: It’s enough to make a person think the universe is out to get them. “How one would even start a career now — scarred by the recent past, menaced by a post-human future, and debilitated by early exposure to smartphones — is beyond me,” writes Ryu Spaeth. “Like many others deep into their careers, I’m apprehensive about what is ahead, too.” What advice can you then give the young grad? One school of thought holds that, whatever challenges lie in the future, people will manage to adapt and flourish. That those new to the workforce can become the “author of [their] own professional lives." Spaeth explores what happens when that promise increasingly feels like a lie: nymag.visitlink.me/eRm6Mo
NEW: By the time Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry suspended ongoing elections to give lawmakers time to redraw the state’s congressional map, roughly 42,000 Louisianans already cast their votes — and it’s likely many voted in the House primaries. Now, their ballots are at risk of being thrown out. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/th…
DON’T RAISE YOUR VOICE IN YOUR HOME OR YARD! In October 2025, Flock (a private company) added Raven microphones, marketed with the slogan "Safety you can see and now hear." High-powered microphones positioned across city streets, now listening for sounds that algorithms interpret as concerning.
This is scary. High school students can’t even read a simple sentence, let alone understand what it means. America, what the hell are we doing?!
The future of AI is being built right now in places like Abilene, Texas. Our Stargate site there offers a look at what America can build — massive compute capacity, skilled trade jobs, local investment, and responsible infrastructure at scale. openai.com/index/building…
As many of you know, we've been fighting for years to challenge the grotesque cash bail and pretrial detention policies around the U.S. that keep 100,000s of human beings in cages and separated from their families every single night, mostly because they lack cash. Tomorrow, the California Supreme Court will issue the most important court decision ever decided on this question--and probably the most important decision in U.S. history in terms of the number of people in jail. At stake is essentially whether several hundred thousand presumed innocent people every year in misdemeanors and non-violent felonies can be detained in cages prior to trial. It's the most important issue we've ever worked on.
Did you guys know that the judges that issued international arrest warrants for Netanyahu were sanctioned by the United states and as a result are completely unable to access their bank accounts or do any banking due to Visa and Mastercard?
A nurse came to Arizona to get married before her dying father passed away. She ended up in jail for DUI despite blowing 0 on breathalyzer. Bodycam showed the cop admitting to another officer she wasn't drunk but they needed to get a DUI arrest to keep their job. abc15.com/news/local-new…
🚨 JUST NOW: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott reveals the Houston Police Department has STILL REFUSED to rescind their pro-illegal alien policies — meaning $110 million can STILL BE REVOKED HARDBALL! The City Council caved, but police have NOT. Abbott is pulling the funds unless the police dept CAVES. "The City of Houston, they're in compliance. HOWEVER, also a signer of that contract was the Houston Police Department." "As we're speaking right now, the Houston Police Department has not fully agreed to fully comply with that very same contract." "Because they are one of the signers of it, if the Houston Police Department does not fully comply with the terms of that agreement to detain any illegal immigrant they encounter and to notify DHS of the encounter, then the city and the police department still stand to lose that $110 million!" @GregAbbott_TX

Greg Abbott is, and I really can't stress this enough, trying to defund the police in Houston
NEW: Absent a biblical rainfall event this summer, Corpus Christi will be the first American city in modern history to run out of water. 💦 Schools & hospitals hope to drill wells. Lawns are dry. How will petrochemical plants handle it? We don’t know. kut.org/energy-environ…
