NEW: The NYT sent an email to freelancers today forbidding contributors from submitting "any material for publication that contains content generated, modified or enhanced" by generative AI. The "reminder" follows a string of AI incidents at the paper: futurism.com/artificial-int…

israel had a pro rape january 6 style riot to break out the rapist concentration camp guards from prison, it succeeded! they made one of the top rapists into a tv star, and then the prosecution dropped all charges & satanyahu personally apologized. so no i’m not shocked abt kristoffs reporting. it’s sad that they wouldn’t post it outside of editorial.

I do not understand what billionaires think the final outcome of all this is. If nobody has a living wage, they cannot buy your products, pay for your services, or rent the properties being owned and hoarded. At that point, does the whole thing not just collapse?

A beekeeper in Massachusetts has been arrested after unleashing an entire swarm of bees on police officers who were trying to evict an elderly cancer patient from his home. Over 1000 bees died in the struggle, and one officer had to be hospitalized for bee-related injuries.

I interviewed @hollyjeanbuck about that Jacobin data center article and asked how banning these facilities causes “equity concerns”. Here was her answer, followed by her take on data centers and climate change.

🚨NEW🚨 An immigrant died on Tuesday night inside the Stewart Detention Center, a privately-run ICE jail in Georgia. ICE has not released any information about the death. CoreCivic, the private company that runs the facility, confirmed his death to me this afternoon. Details are scarce, with CoreCivic's statement only saying Stewart staff found "an unresponsive individual inside of his living area" and that EMS arrived but the person died inside the detention center. A source told me the person may have died by suicide inside a solitary confinement cell. The source said the person who died may have been a Cuban man, in his 30s, who may have had some type of altercation with a guard on Sunday and was sent to solitary. "Liquid chemicals," may have played a role in his death, but it has not been confirmed. This is the 30th immigrant to die in ICE custody since October. Stewart has had a series of tragic suicides in the past decade. In 2019, I obtained footage of a separate suicide death inside the solitary confinement unit at Stewart: theintercept.com/2019/08/29/ice…
