Google workers in NYC and Sunnyvale have stated they will sit in until they are removed--or Google drops its contract with Israel.

Supporters outside Google HQ in Manhattan have committed to stay outside in support. Stay tuned

This week, while I was boarding a plane, two men at the front of the line started screaming at each other.

One was in biz class, the other in economy. Halfway through the flight, the guy in biz came down the aisle to take a photo of the person he’d fought with. (1/5)

Meanwhile, I’m surprised that literally no one cared let alone threw him under the bus they found out Peter Thiel is an FBI informant….

For a VC or CEO to remain loyal to a pal who became an FBI informant is shocking—who in SV wants the FBI on their Board or as an investor?

I’d bet UAW’s Shawn Fein would like a word.

Sure, union jobs provided generations of American dreams—& their disappearance has disappeared the middle class.

1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is still too silent about the war in Gaza. Following my viral tweet last month, this is the updated & expanded version of how I see things based on >1000 articles and 1000s of videos/images of the war. 🧵of summary conclusions:

Waleed Abu al-Khair, an award-winning Saudi human rights defender and lawyer, has just marked 10 years in prison on a 15-year prison sentence due to his peaceful human rights activism. That undermines the crown prince's 'hollow narrative of reform.”

TLDR: to 'solve' trash content on trash surveillance platforms, BigTech AI will flag whether content is 'good' or not.

Can we please stop falling for this? This isn't 'solving' the problem. It's simply consolidating control over platforms w/o attending to who will wield it.

LOL: Was thinking yesterday that someone really needs to bring out Busta Rhymes at Coachella.

It’s hilarious that maybe the most vocal defender of AI in music is Grimes and her Coachella set is just a total technical breakdown

More than half of foreign-born people in U.S. live in just 4 states and half are naturalized citizens

330 million people live in the US.

1 in 3 Americans lives in CA, TX, FL & NY. (And CA’s population is ~double of FL or NY)…

What democracy? flip.it/GnqXTD

I wrote an obituary for OJ Simpson. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The 1864 Arizona law forbidding most abortions, upheld by the State Supreme Court, also sets the age of consent for females at 10 Years.

I've been waiting 29 years to tell this story about OJ and his days at USC. Now that he's dead (may he burn in hell) I have a story that I signed an NDA for that is no longer valid. I was a junior at USC working in Topping Student Center on campus in 1995. I was an administrative…

A side note to the Berkeley law dinner fiasco: Professors shouldn't have work events with students in their homes!!!

I’ve always said that Sam Harris is a reactionary & rather ignorant bigot masquerading as a liberal, & his latest intervention on Gaza, suggesting Hamas “make the Nazis look relatively benign….Nazis didn’t use their own women and children as human shields” is a reminder of that.

Domestic violence is a kind of small-scale terrorism. What OJ Simpson did to Nicole Brown Simpson was not the event of one night—it was a years long campaign that thousands of women suffer at other men’s hands. Read Andrea Dworkin’s memorial to Nicole: evergreenreview.com/read/in-memory…
