1. Concentration camps are bad. 2. Emergency Managers shouldn't be involved in building and operating concentration camps. 3. Emergency management agencies should not be used for political stunts. 4. Don't follow orders from white nationalists. disasterology.substack.com/p/disasterol...
What I want is to be able to hitup a standard api for each company, like "widgetco.com/billing" and "onlinetoolz.com/billing" to get this info in a standardized way.
So that's at least 5 places to check for 1 transaction. And every website has a different layout / section this stuff is in. Or if they email it to you sometimes they let you out in a billing email, other times they send it to the admin accounts email.
Neither. It's more like "$9.99 charge from WidgetCo shows up on your bank statement". Now where do I find the invoice and/or receipt? They could be at some combo of: - WidgetCo website - 3rd party payment platform - email - photo of paper receipt a team member submitted - nowhere

imho 1. Bubble pops. 2. AI becomes a client side focus much like web frameworks are today. 3. We get actually useful tools with a natural language interface (or that can incorporate natural language inputs).
There are a lot companies building and marketing generalized "everything" tools that get things wrong a lot. There are far fewer companies building smart interfaces over deep tech stacks a la human <> ai <> deterministic api.
Yes but the marketing and go-to-market approach for the current crop of AI companies was very poor in regards to this.
NEW: Belgium has decided to recognize Palestine as well take multiple measures against Israel, including -The ban of all settler goods from being imported -Sanctions on Smotrich and Ben Gvir -Restrictions on imports from Israeli businesses -No consular services to Israelis in the oPt
Copying data is quick. Finding the documentation for each transaction is slow.
I don't see how LLMs are relevant here? The time consuming part isn't copying transaction data. I can already pull transaction records from our bank into quickbooks. It's the documentation for each transaction. Every website has its own billing interface, invoices to email, receipt photos, etc
Why can't I tag each part of a split transaction separately??!? 😭
Standard API to pull invoice & billing data from everything when. 😮💨
"punks not dead" i mumble to myself as i log endless transactions into quickbooks for our annual reporting 😭
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
We need "you are not immune to propaganda" but for AI use risks We have seen too many cases of 1. Highly educated folk starting to believe LLMs are sentient. 2. Folk with no prior mental health issues becoming delusional. 3. Prrofessionals becoming reliant on it to do things they could do better.
Even with the drastically reduced disease surveillance and deliberate undercount, official CDC sources are already reporting the highest number of measles cases in more than 30 years, after it was officially declared “eliminated” in the US in 2000. Also, school is about to start.
“Irish Central Bank will no longer approve Israeli bonds” Well done to all the campaigners, politicians and legal experts that were fighting this fight 👏🏽
I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you can’t get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.
Why Humanitarian Aid Still Matters in 2025 When the World Turns Away #Refugees
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
This is what happens when you obliterate the presumption of regularity. Endless homework assignments because the court can't trust the government to follow orders in good faith.
at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.
i said this a few days ago, and these two sentiments are connected: you don’t cede ground to fascists, because even if you ignore basic human decency, ceding ground to fascists makes you weaker and them stronger.
The word community can absolutely get thrown around too loosely, but folks in the TTRPG scene are also so willing to help someone else out 9 times out of 10 in my experience. I’ve been getting a lot of help recently, and I also want to make clear that I’m here for anyone else who wants to reach out
this should become a thing, putting up signs like this for every arrest & disappearance in public spaces. it would likely break into lower info, less politically engaged demos and local social media groups
Cue a benny hill-soundtracked cascade of increasingly more rainbow crosswalks and florida state troopers painting them over
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently chastised Silicon Valley for burning billions chasing AGI instead of focusing on useful AI. China agrees, steering AI into tasks like grading entrance exams, sharper weather models, and crop-rotation advice. Pragmatism vs moonshot, I wonder which bet pays off?
When someone started tampering with Tylenol bottles in 1982 the company recalled $100 million worth of bottles immediately even though they clearly weren't at fault

Staring up an AI run communist scheme to empower people to be their own boss. A MLMLMLM if you will
Hey @randomdeadbird.satan.social our governments are collapsing at the same time! 🤜🤛
People who followed me in mid-2024 already know I follow French elections very closely; and it’s possible there may be new parliamentary elections this fall as the government is about to collapse next week. So we just got a first poll of a possible election… and it’s predictably messy. (1/?)

Let me note: Yemen's PM and cabinet were assassinated *2 DAYS AGO.* And not a single outlet reported it. A perfect intersection of anti-Africa, anti-Palestine, anti-Muslim, and anti-Black streams. They will print rando rumors abt other places but this escaped notice of the uhhh 'journalists.'
JD Vance killed the Pope and Donald Trump. Will anyone stop this maniac?!??!?
Two Northern VA school systems are suing the Education Department to challenge Trump admins threats to their federal funding over their policies for transgender students’ access to restrooms and locker rooms.
On the far end of the Ivy Scale, my Navy divisional officer only mentioned his college of Cornell bc I was curious what school offered a degree in winemaking I didn't even know it was an Ivy until I looked it up
That political donation should be going to mutual aid instead :) :) :)
If you’re an Expanse nerd you probably remember Prax talking about simple-complex systems and cascade failure in book 2. Liberal-democracy a simple-complex system and we're seeing a cascade failure, right now. This one is pretty good. Read the whole thing. www.thebulwark.com/p/democracy-...
Oooh yay systems theory! Grassroots networks are complex adaptive systems. Community organizing will survive past the fall of democracy. Working with your neighbors to care for eachother is both more important than voting *and* creates conditions for you to rally more votes (if that's your thing).
The USA: Bombs Iran for enriching Uranium. Also the USA: Lets a billionaire enrich Uranium.
Bro had to triple down that his messaging was the best before finally seeing how it could be better. Glad he got there in the end tho.
Idk what I expected from the Yale-in-bio types. My bad for trying. Lesson learned. 🙄

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
You took a (long) break from wearing a mask, right? You got away with it. But, guess what? There's a *lot* more Covid around again. And, access to vax is up in the air. Just put a (good) mask on again when you're out and about and you'll be much more protected as well as protecting others. ✨✨✨
Here's a variation on a Picasso bug for #InverteFest. Took liberties with the colors, but the design is not far off! Worth looking up images of the real thing. Nature is a wonder and so are trans folks 💜
Impressive research by Naomi O’Leary, Irish Times, investigating how the EU funds the Israeli war machine through grants & investments. This is illegal in international law given the rulings of the International Court of Justice. It’s also strange that the EU is grant-aiding a foreign nuclear power.
Game Theory? 50’s academics only found the Zero Sum Game/sociopath version interesting. They ignored & hid other work that showed humans co-operating & finding murals balance. They called this Folk Theorem. Much like Lived Experience, it was professionally discounted as knowledge.
The thing about accepting Newsom's depravity against trans people or the homeless on the grounds of "Yeah, that's bad, but we have to beat Trump or it'll be worse." is that by accepting it, you mark it as acceptable, both within your mind and in the larger world around you.

While Washington stirs up the Venezuela issue, the real centers of drug trafficking prosper almost without being bothered. In Ecuador, for example, 57% of the banana containers that leave Guayaquil arrive in Belgium loaded with cocaine.
100,000 LA residents lost their homes 6 months ago. Many of them are still housing insecure.
Another morning to say that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom when he inevitably runs for president. If you want my vote, you should make sure to nominate someone who isn't a transphobe.
On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable
That disastrous reshaping of the world's ocean currents that would leave the EU in an ice age & shift the world's fertile regions thus causing persistent global famine? According to science, it's no longer "low probability." Sleep tight.
Oh nice! Well enjoy!
I want you to think: “Rudy’s a Harvard fellow! But he still gotta deal with the police” “Rudy’s in TechCrunch! But he still gotta deal with the police.” “Rudy just raised X dollars! But he still gotta deal with the police” And reflect on why Rudy’s “peers” don’t have that experience
I think the risk is less "adverse reaction" and more "alcohol makes the antibiotics less effective, so the sturdiest bacteria may survive resulting in a bounce-back infection that's worse than the original". But you do you!
This is a masterclass in bad faith. The UCP forecasted a $5B deficit to justify cuts. Then, they magically found an $8B surplus. Now, on the day of teacher negotiations, they're back to a $6.5B "deficit." Their numbers are a political tool, not a fiscal plan.

“I think that’s wholly appropriate and certainly comports with my understanding of the law,” said C. Fred Bergsten, who helped negotiate IEEPA in the 1970s, “and hopefully it will excise lots of the damage that his tariffs have done.”

The return to the Gilded Age continues as ICE detention centers have become a spawning ground for consumption, AKA tuberculosis. It goes without saying that ICE isn't doing what it takes to prevent this. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social has the disturbing story: prospect.org/health/2025-...
Gonna post these until people understand it’s the every day experience of being Black and living in NYC and has always been this way regardless of administration to the point people EXPECT to get harassed. (1st and 2nd shot were 45 mins apart and I stopped at 2 different wine stores in between)
Getting ready for that ramp up 💪
All good! I appreciate the conversation, it was earnest and respectful all around. :)
But I think you and I understand eachother and have found common ground. I agree with what you're saying in general!
Eh I wasn't even calling for an acknowledgement of other efforts. Like, stay on point, I get it. Just not using language that erases them ("the first fight in 8 months non-lawyers can win at").
Here’s an article with *all* five former FEMA administrators noting that the Trump administrations approach to emergency management is setting the agency up to fail/ needs to go unmet. archive.is/2025.08.29-1...
The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.
Oh heck yeah!! Lfg!!
I appreciate you sharing but I wasn't saying to put anything "at the front". Just not to use language which excludes a whole bunch of other successful work. I'm not advocating for my own thing, nor emotionally involved here. I don't care that much. Just providing some pretty minor feedback.
Ooof yeah I gotta build a list or something 😅 didn't mean to leave anyone out just jotting a few tags down off top of my head at 1am

Plenty of people I work with who I wouldn't want to have a beer with. And plenty of people I'll have a beer with who I'd never work with. Both of those are fine.
Eh true but I'm not taking it personally. I said my piece and moved on.
Heck even within my own team of very-aligned organizers we vocally disagree with eachother all the time. Then we work thru that and end up in a better place because of it.
An organizer giving another organizer feedback on their messaging is a normal thing that happens all the time. Not everything is leftist infighting. We'll lose our edge if we can't talk out suggestions or disagreements.
I was just giving feedback to another organizer who shrugged it off, and then I disengaged. This isn't a big deal.
“Well someone needs to do something about the homeless.” Yes. We should house them.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but we don’t need to fight fairly against fascism. We just need to fight.
