- At this point they are effectively trying to get Tlaib killed.Rashida Tlaib has alleged ties to Hamas. Based on these allegations, it’s sadly not surprising she’s calling for a genocide against the Jewish people.
- Universities really showing their whole asses as "banks that sometimes teach classes" right now. Keep it up.
- I see we've moved onto the "using Black people as propaganda" part of the campaign."I drove an hour and a half for a kiss and a hug from my little brother ❤️(That’s all the time he had). We are going to win this!" Thank you to @AshagerAraro and to our brave men and women in uniform for keeping us safe 💙🇮🇱. Love, Israel

- Holy shit. Google fired 28 workers for protesting against its $1.2 billion contract with the IDF. Solidarity with these workers of conscience.
- I'm a Google employee and, now, a proud card-carrying member of the Alphabet Workers Union. Tech workers need a union because we can't rely on the good graces of tech leaders to do right by us and society.We're Alphabet workers. We’ve been organizing for over a year, & we’re finally ready to share why. This morning, we're announcing #AWU, the first union open to *all* workers at any Alphabet company. Every worker deserves a union—including tech workers. nytimes.com/2021/01/04/tec…
- has anyone developed a plugin that puts an expiration date on a tab like a popup that goes "it's been three months, Sharon. Let it go and know peace"
- Apparently Twitter uses a facial analysis algorithm to center image previews. This quick little robustness test shows how it centers the white guy in both images.This Post is from an account that no longer exists. Learn more
- Today's my last day at Google. Starting tomorrow I'm joining @timnitGebru at @DAIRInstitute as Director of Research. On my way out, here's some thoughts on the tech company as a racialized organization and the power of complaint.

- Oh no. No no no. Absolutely not. Fuck this.Using footage of its streets, San Jose is training algorithms to detect unwanted objects--including tents and cars with people living inside. This experiment with automated surveillance of homelessness is the first of its kind in the country: theguardian.com/technology/202…
- Happy #TransDayOfVisibility We can't eat visibility, though. Give money to: Poor trans people Black/brown trans people Disabled trans people Trans sex workers Trans people with medical and student loan debt Thanks.
