You’ve heard the phrase “You can pick your friends, but not your family.”? fuck. that. shit. Here’s the truth: You can’t choose your DNA, but you can choose your family. 💕 #chooseYourFamily

Annertech’s @tonypaulbarker and @JohnAlbin take the stage at @DrupalConEur with talks on frontend battles, the psychology of shame, and the future of Drupal theming with Declarative Shadow DOM. See you there! 🔗 annertech.com/blog/annertech… #DrupalConVienna #DrupalCon #DrupalConEur

New Pope dropped

Rumi Carter’s “Autism”

Democrats finally admitting they have the same hierarchal supremacist beliefs as Republicans but just along a different axis. This is why disabled communities don’t trust either party.

NYPD followed an alleged fare evader, tried to tase him, and then: > shot him > shot another cop in the abdomen > shot a woman in the leg > shot another man AND GRAZED HIS HEAD

@ForcesHidden @Capitol_Rotund @Rahll @BXernobyl You are being deliberately obtuse. Yes, the AI _tech_ can be trained on any data set. But companies have _implemented_ AI by stealing. And this convo is about the AI industry when people say “AI is theft”. Stop being a shithead to the victims.

Rarely have I seen AI described so succinctly.

I can tell by the way a lot of you tweet, that you have never worked on a political campaign where you’ve had to canvas and engage with voters. The way y’all talk to people on here, would not fly in real life knocking on doors.

Throughout his career, Joe Biden has shown resilience and a deep belief in the power of unity and democracy. His steadfast stewardship will continue to inspire us as we move forward to build a better America. Now, more than ever, we must not only unite to ensure that Donald Trump does not return to the White House—we must champion a vibrant vision for our next American chapter. It is our responsibility to lift every voice and pick up the mantle and fight for justice, equality and democracy. Let’s rally together and show the world the strength and resilience of our democracy. Together, we will build a brighter future for all.

The upcoming Democratic National Convention may be the first _contested_ convention in my lifetime! I hope the DNC doesn’t fuck it up by back-room-picking someone before the convention. There’s literally no more effective campaigning than a contested convention!

Drupal and Next.js Integration Explored in Talking Drupal #458 bit.ly/3XUWT0M @JohnAlbin @mandclu @johnpicozzi @nicxvan @baddysonja @TalkingDrupal

It seems like most things humans need to function are now considered radical. Rest is radical. Not wanting to get sick is radical. Wanting to work less hours and be able to afford a house is radical. Even stating you don’t want people to die is radical. This isn't sustainable.

Great chat on @talking with @JohnAlbin about Decoupled Drupal, next.js and next-drupal. youtube.com/watch?v=O47j8e… - very insightful.

@audreyt @mozilla @msurman @pluralitybook @divyasiddarth Most Western AI use stolen material (image generation) or produce text that prefers lying over admitting unknowns (chat bots) or produces results that reinforce human biases like racism (recidivism AI) just so corporate executives can make money and lay off workers.

AI development must be ethical, inclusive & transparent.👐 Co-creation plays a critical role, too!✅ Join me & all #Rise25 Awards honorees in doubling down on safe & sustainable AI in which the technology, like #Taiwan🇹🇼, is a force for good. Let’s #FreeTheFuture🖖 — together!

@jina @ashleymcnamara Those are the worst!

@ashleymcnamara And I learned the hard way that even when the background check clears and you have a start date, things can fall flat. 😫

I’m surprised to see so many people say it’s just a formality after the 2nd or 3rd interview. It only takes one person to change a ‘yes’ into a ‘no.’ Take every interview seriously & don’t assume you’ve got the job until the background check clears & you have a start date.

taking children away from families that can’t afford to care for them…..placing them in foster homes that receive aid from the city to care for them…..instead of giving said aid to struggling family……….

“The humiliation Arab Jews experienced in Zionism is something they never experienced in the Arab countries.” Israeli writer @alon_mizrahi spoke to AJ+ about the erasure of the Arab Jewish identity in Israel.

@UnionTyler @err_aticAF @MorePerfectUS @RexRichardson I reported that user for copying your tweet. Twitter calls that “fake engagement” under Spam

@err_aticAF @MorePerfectUS @RexRichardson Did you copy my exact comment fjsjdjskckskdk????

NEW: Rents are up 20% since 2020. And a housing cartel's algorithm could be to blame. RealPage, a software company, allegedly works with landlords to drive up rents across the country. This is an illegal price-fixing conspiracy. And it's forcing Americans into homelessness.

@UnionTyler @RexRichardson Which map? I can’t find a map of RealPage usage and I want to warn my renting friends in the US

I just checked the map, my apartment complex uses this….. and so do a lot of very expensive complexes in Long Beach. Hey @RexRichardson you should check this video out, this company is having a negative impact on Long Beach’s housing market
