🚨🚨🚨 There's a major story in the NYT today about one of our members & his lawsuit against Google. It's about a literal *cult* w/in Google that dominated his former team. But it's not just a salacious story, this is really about workers' rights & TVCs. nytimes.com/2022/06/16/tec…

Many of us who have used the word fascist to describe the descent and radicalization of the GOP were initially mocked. You all weren't paying attention. They are fully emboldened and will only get worse. They have concluded nobody can stop them, and they just don't care.

The media often says “in a blow to environmentalists” as if we’re the only ones who live on Planet Earth.

This is astonishing, yet not surprising. If it feels like you're far less safe in NYC than ever before, it's not bc shootings are up. It's because the media (fueled by lies & fearmongering by NYC Mayor Eric Adams) is up. Look at this chart. Red line is shootings. Grey is media.

Every Native child the plaintiffs fought to adopt had a blood relative that wanted to raise them. Every Native relative got push back—from a social worker, foster parent, family court judge or all three. Only one grandma was able to adopt her grand baby—after fighting for 6 YEARS

Dear UC Davis faculty colleagues (and others too). We (Stacy Fahrenthold and I and others) will be joining the picket lines at Howard and Russell this afternoon at 2 to show our support for the strikers. Please join us. #FairUCNow #ucstrike #ucdavis

HPC tweeps: anybody run into the issue where dual-socket AMD EPYC 7662 (or other 7002 series) systems only report 255/256 cores on boot? Modern kernel (5.15), x2apic switched on in BIOS. Clues: ACPI dump shows 8-bit CPU fields, so legacy APIC table? #HPC #AMD

This weekend we saw cops attack folks trying to protect a clinic from anti-abortion harassers. We saw a cop high-five a Proud Boy. We saw cops allow fascists to surround a drag show while they watched from their cars. They're telling you loud and clear which side they're on.

Stop calling it "the literature" and start calling it "the lore"

A staunchly illiberal politician is ruthlessly pursuing his authoritarian agenda. Yet what the New York Times wants us to take away from the situation in Florida is that DeSantis is taking on the “establishment” and successfully building “his brand.” nytimes.com/2023/01/31/us/…
