    can't say enough how unsettling it was to watch dude reading comments like "thank you crazeeclaudette22 for your helpful emojis. also if you got this alert that means you're in the area and you should show up with your camera out and help your neighbors."

    They were also showing innocuous user comments on the broadcast, but skipping over all the ones where locals were like "tf is this dude"

    Citizen app is debuting a bizarre and horrifying new broadcast news feature. Check out this random white dude narrating a shooting in North Philly last night. He was also heavily encouraging people to show up to this active crime scene and start filming.

    "Two people in Philadelphia Department of Prisons custody have died in the last week and another is hospitalized, the latest in a string of deaths that staff and incarcerated people say are linked to dysfunction and a staffing crisis at the city jails."

    There is no amount of hasbara to spin away the horror of the IDF killing a 20 year old in the funeral of a 12 year old that the IDF killed the day before. The atrocity that is the occupation is a material & moral problem, not PR problems for Israel or diplomatic ones for the US.

    My brilliant colleague and I reported this big story in March that the NYT re-reported today. It's good that we're linked somewhat near the top, but it's also a strange decision to replicate such a specific angle . Our original story is below

    When Google employees complained to human resources about racism or sexism at work, they were advised to seek mental health care or go on a medical leave Sources described how Google HR made them feel like they were the problem. By and me

    Important work: Whole Foods “reportedly used heat maps to visualize unionization risk scores based on variables such as racial diversity, employee loyalty, ‘tipline’ calls, and violations recorded by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.”

    Excerpt from Abstract. Social media has both been hailed for enabling social movements and critiqued for its affordances as a surveillance infrastructure. In this work, I focus on the latter by analyzing research, products, and discourses around the recent history of civil unrest prediction based on social media data and other public data sources, thereby giving insights into current and often opaque protest surveillance and forecasting practices. Technologies to monitor individuals and groups online have been developed for instance to predict US protests following the election of President Trump in 2016 and labor strikes across global supply chains. These works are part of an emerging computer science research field focused on “civil unrest prediction” dedicated to forecasting protests across the globe (e.g., Indonesia, Brazil, and Australia). More in the paper...
    New paper examining research area and established industry concerned with predicting future protests and labor organizing activity across global supply chains based on various "publicly" accessible data such as social media posts:

    lotta miserable people on this website!

    An adult over 25 and under 80 using the term “birthday week” or “birthday month” is a red flag. Eventually your friendship will be contingent on you attending a 5-day-long bachelorette party in Nashville and a month later flying to a different city for her a bridal shower. Avoid.

    Citizen app is paying people to chase crime scenes and livestream them, but they don't want anyone to know this and so they're having third parties post the jobs and sign NDAs

    People are now being required to submit to facial recognition run by a private company, in order to access gov't services like unemployment. One of my family members had to deal with this when trying to get her child tax credit.

    it continues to blow my mind how few people in Philadelphia know about, let alone take advantage of, the NJ Transit line from Philly to Atlantic City!!

    every city near a coast should have a train to the beach

    Quilting is careful art — domestic, caretaking art — from incarcerated folks to foster children, in a system devoid of care.

    At this Missouri prison, a group of seven inmates is working on an ambitious project: sew a personalized quilt for each foster child in the county.
