I am Jane Doe.
When I was 19, I was sexually assaulted by a 36 year old man that I met online. Afterwards, he wrote a short story about what he did to me and how he'd do it again and kill me if I ever told anyone.

Palantir shifting from hiring only "Ivy or Ivy-equivalent" degrees to hiring only out of high school is an admission that "training" and "talent" were never factors at all. They were looking for packaging & prestige, and now they're looking for ignorance & impressionability.

This is like I was saying the other day how it is a norm in the VC world to hire college dropouts (and encourage people to dropout) so that tech workers are easily malleable and not curious or knowledgable of the harms they are participating in.

They have erased the history of the tech industry and tech innovation so that their workers don’t ask what happened to prior generations of innovators and innovations. It’s a very intentional strategy.

One of the best questions we can all ask these days is, “How?”
It’s simple and smart and a non-answer tells you as much as an answer.
Skynet is going to kill is?
How?
We are moving to the moon?
How?
Build a big net around earth?
How??

Please help us get camera gear, pay airport parking fees, and take care of infrastructure costs for the volunteers documenting ICE Air across the country.
We're fortunate to be well-equipped here in Minnesota; we need to help out our neighbors in other states.

We’re raising money to help volunteers across the country document ICE flights.
This helps with accountability, advancing policy, and demostrates to detainees, and their loved ones, that they’re worthy of being counted, and are cared for by their community.

There is literally no one cooler on the Internet today. Vic’s ability to instantly take over whatever the topic is and steer it into an entirely unhinged direction is masterful. At any point of the day, regardless if I am in a giant sales pitch, I am still thinking about their ‘pretzel pizza’ bit.

I can understand why the features of a supposed AI assistant are compelling. I kinda wanna try it too. But I know too much about how these things work. Do not give a cloud-based agent access to your shit. Especially one from the big tech companies.

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.
There’s something to be said for how most of the political spectrum can unite around hounding some lesbians over niche drama in their spaces but huge segments of society are silent about pervasive campus rape impacting a huge population of primarily youngwomen

ICE has learned to go to where people are less likely to resist. WY. TX. FL. AZ. Infuriating.
Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations.
Gone are the pomp and pageantry.
But ICE arrests have hit record levels.
ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.

What if we raised some funds for Ashley while she’s in the hospital? Between the house stuff and the ambulance ride, I know some financial support could go a long way for Ashley and her family.

looking like 48-72 hours in the ICU. i am apparently already responding very well to treatment but they are going to be conservative and keep me because how fast things came on and the fact that it’s in my face and all.
