you should cancel Duolingo, not out of solidarity or whatever, but because they have replaced their **linguists and writers** with AI. I was a linguist. machine translation is very good, but it makes **ridiculous** mistakes, and as a language learner, you will not be able to spot them. this is 🚩🚩🚩🚩 https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/the-ai-jobs-crisis-is-here-now

Got any satirical, uplifting, or just fun resistance songs? Send ‘em my way. I’m making a playlist to keep myself motivated. Currently I have Red by Jesse Welles, HGT by AGiftFromTodd and Vinny Marchi, and War Pigs.

For some companies it's self-review time, so here's a useful tip for giving feedback about your coworkers:

If you're asked to give feedback about a coworker, ALWAYS sing their praises like they're the greatest person you've ever worked with.

Yes, even that annoying, arch-conservative, gossipy, lazy and confused, less than useless coworker is going to get 5 stars from you. Why? Because performance reviews are bullshit designed to pitch workers against each other.

Happy May Day!

A federal judge has permanently barred the #Trump admin from using the #AlienEnemiesAct, an 18th century wartime #law, to deport #Venezuelans it has deemed to be *criminals* from the judge’s home district in southern #Texas to a prison in #ElSalvador.
The decision by the judge, Fernando Rodriguez Jr., a Trump appointee, was the most expansive ruling so far by any of the 8 federal jurists who are currently hearing challenges to the use of the statute as part of its wide-ranging #deportation plans

Microsoft, I don’t know how to express just how close to actual hell that sounds like to me.

"Pritzker told the Democrats that he had never called for protests in the past but that he was now calling for 'mass protests,' 'mobilization' and 'disruption.'

'Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.' Pritzker said."

If you happen to be or know people around #philly or #wilmington who are looking for a #cat please consider my #fosterCat Bertha (adoptable through Forgotten Cats). She has hissed and tried to scratch everyone who wants to meet her but she is just afraid of new things (Girl Same) and is the sweetest baby if you give her time.

What a clusterfk

Via Brad Moss:

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue:

ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant.

The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge.

This is ridiculous.
