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?!

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.
