Robert ReichExxon just reported record profits for the first quarter of this year, raking in $11.43 billion. The oil giant now has $33 billion cash on hand.
Say it with me, corporate greed is driving inflation, not workers demanding better wages and benefits.

Dan Gillmor@ProPublica broke the story of Justice Thomas' blatant corruption. In a follow-up after Thomas claimed he'd done nothing wrong, the news org quoted his BS and then, citing people who know what they're talking about, refuted the BS.

Contrast this with the Washington Post's coverage: A story uncritically amplifying the BS, and a less-prominent sidebar labeled a "fact check".
ProPublica did it right. The Post did it wrong.
Clarence Thomas Defends Undisclosed “Family Trips” With GOP Megadonor. Here Are the Facts.
In response to a ProPublica report, Thomas explained why he did not disclose lavish travel provided by billionaire Harlan Crow. But legal experts maintain the justice was required to make these disclosures.
The video of the Zoom is online until the end of April; I can share the link if you want it. (Tom didn't make it public on purpose so I don't think just splashing it out there is the way to go, but it's shareable for interested watchers.)
Was glad I got to catch this event online yesterday morning:

Tom shared some of the capabilities of GPT4 with us (helpful, since not all of us had ever taken a look at it) and discussion followed of ways translators were already making it part of their workflow, ways people thought we needed to prepare, and whether we should be dissuading young people from careers in translation at this point.
Is there supposed to be anything showing up on my "home timeline" here? Every time I fire up this site it shows me a blank center column with this sorry-ass elephant apologizing for the 準備中 nature of that part of the site.
I forgot I even had an account in here, to be honest, until I started getting "so and so followed you" notifications in my email in the wake of the Muskocalypse over on Twitter. How is everyone? Is this place still weirdly fragmented into different instances?
This place is doomed. It isn't replacing Twitter; it's replacing Google Groups with a Twitterish skin.
This UI in Japanese is not the best thing I have ever navigated, I will tell you that. Maybe it's better in other languages?
