I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy about Barbara Lee!

One of the things my company says is going to get us profitable again is leveraging AI. Hasn’t affected my job yet, although our new planning tool is telling us that AI is integrated throughout in an upcoming release, so I’m sure finding out what that means will be something. I do hear that people are using something (I don’t know what) for copywriting, especially for e-merchandising, and for packaging. Some of my coworkers use gmail’s “polishing” on emails, I guess, but we haven’t been told we ought to or anything.

Always Anti-fascist!

Lee has her work cut out for her, but if anyone can, it'd be someone like her. I hate that yahoo has some kind of AI summarizing my e-mails.

Okay, Matilda's at the airport, she's checked her luggage. She's got her boarding pass. She just has to hang out for a few hours at her gate for her flight home.

As the resident Oaklander, I'm pleased that it's Lee instead of the DINO Taylor, but I'm not super optimistic. It's a shit job in a shitty situation and I just hope she can stem some of the bleeding.

I want to spend less $ on cops and more on social services that prevent the need for cops, but that's an almost impossible political task. At best she will keep the MECRO team going so they can respond to non-violent social services needs.
