Frightening news from Sudan. The Rapid Support Forces is continuing its genocidal campaign in the Darfur region. They seem to be gearing up for an assault on El Fasher, and currently have the city under siege. This is the largest city in Darfur, and more than 500,000 displaced people from around Sudan are currently taking refuge there. If the RSF is able to carry out an offensive, it would bring starvation, killings, and rape on a massive scale. Human rights activists in Sudan are calling on the international community to urgently intervene.
Please read the article below for further information, the severity of the situation cannot be understated.

i feel like i'm losing my mind why has the AI debate pivoted away from material/labor concerns back to debates about Real vs Fake Art. cannot express just how little i care about relitigating Art and high art and low art and skilled vs unskilled art. what i care about is the treatment and compensation of workers, the power corporations are exerting over intellectual property and creators, the continued extraction of resources, and the omnipresent glut of spam and disinformation with few or no regulations/resources that filter out the SEO AI generated nonsense

In my new report, I provide the first ever look inside of a US military program known as the Secretary of Defense Executive Fellows (SDEF) program, which gives major government contractors like Lockheed Martin and Boeing a way to influence senior military policymakers.
The program sends US military officers to work at major corporations for nearly a year; when they return, the fellows submit recommendations for reform of the Pentagon based on their observations of the private sector.
We document numerous examples of companies using this program to pass along self-interested policy recommendations to US military leaders, including: more outsourcing, corporate subsidies, deregulation, less oversight, more political power to contractors, looser arms export rules, and more. We also analyzed a sample of former SDEF fellows and found that 43% of them go through the revolving door and work for military contractors after leaving the program. As such, the SDEF program uses government money to help subsidize the military-industrial complex, placing corporate interests above the public interest.
You can read my summary of the report here, along with coverage by The Lever here.

Eminem’s life story is actually mine
He took my wallet and lived on my dime
the film 8 Mile was based off me, for real
Eminem lied and i just couldn’t deal
So I moved to the burbs, under a house
Live in a crawl space, rap with a mouse :(
