Did you know Buffalo, NY has a subway??
Sounds weird considering we’re a relatively small American city, but the metro line itself is even weirder, and if all goes according to plan it’s about to get downright inscrutable🧵

One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.

Cutting off all communication to a population of 2.2 million is unacceptable. Journalists, medical professionals, humanitarian efforts, and innocents are all endangered.
I do not know how such an act can be defended. The United States has historically denounced this practice.
I have been trying to reach my family in Gaza for hours with no success. All telecommunications and internet have been cut, while Israeli strikes is literally destroying Gaza from air land and sea. How many more innocent people: children, parents and grandparents will be murdered before the world steps in?

AI bros seem to be misunderstanding the point of Nightshade.
No, we aren’t trying to somehow stuff poison in your AI model datasets ourselves. We poison our own work. And if YOU choose to scrape our work, YOU poison your own dataset.
It’s a retaliation to you offending first.

The U.N. reports at least 42% of Gaza's housing units are damaged or destroyed. One-point-four million Gazans — or more than half of the territory's population — have been displaced.

The biggest issue with these timelines continues to be cumulative impact of task estimation. Stuff like crunch comes about because the best project managers in the world cannot possibly be expected to spotlessly plan 5 years. Constantly paying off time debt they can't catch up on
Xbox Game Studios chief Matt Booty has said that both game players and the industry in general need to realise that most big games now have development cycles of around half a decade.
