WSJ tweeted this to its 20 million followers and it has under 400 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “Elon Musk has secretly been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022”
I just wrote to the @PittsburghPG's local union-busting cronies to tell them they either need to change or get out of town. They've tried to hide, but let's not let them.
Will you join me in filling their inboxes today?

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers have been on strike now for two years. They are outside the @PittsburghPG newsroom today to send a clear message: Follow the law, bargain fairly, and end this strike.
Right now, we’re outside the @pittsburghpg newsroom with a loud and clear message: Block family & cronies, follow the law, bargain fairly, and end this strike. We’re not going anywhere until you do.

Our @newyorkerunion has voted unanimously to strike. It's up to @NewYorker and @CondeNast management to stop this strike before the upcoming New Yorker Festival and agree to a fair contract. Read more here nyguild.org/post/new-yorker-…
Logged on to this bad website just to pose a philosophical question to @PGHtransit: If a bus leaves its stop at 2:57, in what sense is it scheduled for 3:00?

So, Google is killing its cache (which was amazingly useful), and replacing it with a third-party solution of linking to the Internet Archive. I really hope the Internet Archive is being paid -- and paid a lot -- for this.
We know many people, including those in the research community, value seeing previous versions of webpages when available. That’s why beginning today, we're adding links to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to our "About this result" panel, to give people quick context and make this helpful information easily accessible through Search.
To access archive links, click on the three dots next to a search result. In the window that appears, click on the "More about this page" button, then look for the "See previous versions on Internet Archive's Wayback Machine" link.
It will take a day or so for this to fully roll out and be available for those searching in 40 different languages. Learn more about how "About this result" works and other information it offers here: support.google.com/websearch…

DISINFO WITHOUT BORDERS. A look at the foreign accounts pushing fake news about U.S. politics with the help of AI—and the platforms' struggle to stop them. My latest with a dream team of other reporters + engineers from @wsj.

Don't be a scab. Don't take a job at a place actively harming journalists.
#JobAlert @PittsburghPG is hiring a data reporter who will help lead stories for the PG's investigations team, overseeing the collection and analysis of data for some of the newspaper’s most important work.

AppleTV VFX workers have unanimously voted to unionize with @IATSE.
They join Disney, Marvel, Avatar, and other VFX workers in a powerful union surge that is sweeping the industry.

wow, you notice chatGPT uses conspicuously elaborate words like "crucial" & "delve"? have you considered delving into the potentially significant relationship between people's vocabularies & multiple generations of administration under the british empire?
it could be... crucial!

Black lines show counterfactual extrapolations from 2021–22 to 2023–24. The first six words are affected by ChatGPT; the last three relate to major events that influenced scientific writing and are shown for comparison.

We still are on strike. People who work for or work with the people who work for the PG are crossing our picket line. We continue to appreciate the people who are not crossing.

If the Roberts Court's understanding of the Constitution is correct it's hard to understand what the authors of the document could have meant by a President being guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanors". Perhaps the framers were simply wrong in understanding their document?
All tech pitches now are basically indistinguishable from the conceit of an unreadable self-published '90s cyberpunk novella
I sincerely don't get the anti-Biden campaign from the left at this moment. Is it accelerationist?
Joe Biden’s disastrous performance at the presidential debate last night has made it impossible for the liberal establishment to keep pretending Biden is fit to serve another term. jacobin.com/2024/06/democrat…
