Your stuff is actually worse now

Badly made products, from clothing and accessories to gadgets and appliances, are everywhere now. Blame consumerism.

During his DC show last night, Bad Bunny spoke again about how the privatization of electricity in Puerto Rico by an American-Canadian company, LUMA, has hurt islanders. I wrote about his PR performances earlier this month for Vox:

The real scandal in Formula 1 is its attitude toward women

F1, Red Bull, and the FIA should be reconsidering how they handle alleged misconduct as well as how they support women. Their comments at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix prove they have work to do.

I'm not a vegan or an animal rights activist. But this @voxdotcom series on factory farming is a must read. This week, Future Perfect is diving into all the ways the meat industry takes away our choices and harms people, planet, and animals alike.

Perhaps one of the most hidden, awful ways discrimination hurts Black people is how it robs them of time. My colleague Sean Collins and I poured over years of studies to affirm how smaller, day-to-day discriminatory acts add up. Story here:

Discrimination isn’t just infuriating. It steals Black people’s time.

Vox analyzed dozens of studies and found that racism adds up in insidious ways.

It's disheartening that Vox Media entered a partnership with OpenAI — especially after our team's recent investigative reporting that reveals some...uh...questionable things about Sam Altman. Anyway, read my boss @bryanrwalsh on all that:

This article is OpenAI training data

From OpenAI to Microsoft to Google to Meta, AI firms are engaged in a race: for data, for compute, for talent, for market share, and ultimately, for profits.
