If it's unskilled labor, why didn't your buddy just do it himself?
My buddy just went to Home Depot to get a guy for unskilled day labor and the guy wanted $32 an hour

Just as the lies were vomited, just as the congresspeople frequently applauded, an air strike killed six people in my city of Beit Lahia. A school principal I worked with briefly was murdered. His name is Darwish Al-Ghirbawi. He was murdered in front of his house with his son, also a teacher, and other neighbors.
You should be ashamed of inviting a war criminal, of receiving him, of listening to him, and worse of applauding his sheer lies.
Iām angry more than ever.

ALT Cover for The River Has Roots on a dark green background. On a pale cover, a squiggly graphic line moving from the top left corner of the book down to the bottom right corner is a portal into a soft, romantic landscape of rivers and hills; bursting out between the squiggleās curves are bright bold dahlias in warm hues. At the top of the image are the words āThe Riverā and at the bottom are the words āHas Rootsā; below those are āNew York Times Bestselling author Amal El-Mohtar.ā

Bingooooooooooo
Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.

This undercountingādeliberate undercounting as censorship and disinformationāis precisely how it played out (and is still in effect) in the Sri Lankan genocide as well. These are well-worn and much-bloodied techniques. Being able to recognize them is essential.
We all know that the confirmed figure of Palestinians killed so far is a gross undercount given the scale of destruction and bombing and mass killings. This projection of over 193,000 is far more likely. electronicintifada.net/conteā¦

using this juncture in history not to slow down an extinction event, but instead to accelerate it, in service of building machines whose primary purpose is to render humans obsolete. silicon valley makes sense as a grand death drive project, a compulsion towards self annihilation

Notions of "objectivity" in video game discourse remain an absolute scourge. Why on earth would you not "recommend" a game you think is amazing?

The cruelest myth of European colonization, whether in the subcontinent or the Levant or west Africa, remains the idea that we had nothing, that we didnāt build our societies & our peoples - that we would be wandering & wallowing in filth, were it not for their gracious violence.

Jessica Wick is one of my dearest friends; she co-founded Goblin Fruit with me, & is very much family. She lost her mother last month, & it's been harrowing to witness all the ways in which vicious systems essentially paywall the right to grieve.
On behalf of @tithenai, @WriteTeachPlay, @omgjulia & myself, we thank you for boosting this signal. In gratitude, many artists, poets & writers contributed to a gift anthology for whoever donates.
