If I never have to read some person saying "what happened to innocent until proven guilty" about why some guy should still be elected to one of the most powerful positions in the country despite numerous sexual assault allegations it will be too soon

a criminal conviction isn’t required to say someone does not have the moral character to run for office and i don’t understand why this needs to be said over and over and over again.

Congratulations! I'm excited to read it!

Reminder, the ACS Inclusivity Style Guide still does not include Gender & Sexuality nor Race, Ethnicity, and Sexuality. They were removed almost a year ago. Something tells me, it isn't a pause on those two sections. Review & refinement shouldn't take a year. #ChemSky #ChemChat

Yes, it has been driving me crazy!

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I cannot stress enough to people who are not from Minneapolis that the news you have seen in the past week about things calming, and messaging from our electeds at *every level higher than City Council* that local agencies will protect us... That's all fucking LIES.

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.

people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Good morning from Minneapolis.

Abolish ICE.

Help people how you can.

For my out-of-state friends wanting to help Minneapolis, Sanctuary Supply Depot is a grassroots mutual aid effort to support unhoused folks here. They take cash as well as in-kind donations: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

For out of towners coming to Minneapolis or trying to learn about Mpls (ESPECIALLY JOURNALISTS), I recommend you follow @taylordahlin.com to get a deeper understanding of the situation here on the ground.

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours.

please keep sharing with your networks.

If you don't live in Minnesota, but have been watching the news with horror, and are looking for a way to help:

I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota.

If you have places for me to add, please DM me.

Reports of Ice having checked into Fairfield in Northfield... just for enquiring minds.. keep your eyes open Northfield

Reports of Ice having checked into Fairfield in Northfield... just for enquiring minds.. keep your eyes open Northfield

Ice is now right outside of DIW & the Midtown Global Market. *headed towards Bloomington Ave. I heard they're setting up check points. I'm not sure of where but be cautious in the area!

Late last night, ICE agents stormed into HCMC past hospital staff security. They refused to leave on orders of staff, security, hospital general counsel, and all 7 county commissioners, even with half the elected officials in Minneapolis personally on site. MPD refused to trespass ICE from HCMC. The word is that can only come from Chief O'Hara. Who answers directly to Mayor Frey.

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
