Yes! All the other beeps are close in pitch to my tinnitus, so I don’t always know if they’re real or not

It occurs to me that if Kid Rock is the alternate to Bad Bunny, then Kid Rock is Elmer Fudd.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

It's a problem that actual elected officials post on social media as if they are powerless observers and commentators.

No one says to legit business owners, "hey I see there's an underground market selling toxic knock-offs of your product: how will you incorporate the toxic product AND protect your customers against its harms?" But apparently it's fine to make this suggestion to educators with respect to AI.

It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

A flock of turkeys walked through the meadow in my back yard, just their heads and necks visible above the grass. Looked like brontosauruses to me. The kids were not impressed

Yes! This is so important! Machine Learning is doing wonderful things like mapping Martian craters and analyzing microbe genomes. LLMs are a very specific form & it’s them doing these huge amounts of harm. I also sometimes say “Gen AI”
when I mean both LLMs and art generators; I try to never say AI

I’ve never felt loss, myself. I have something new. It exists! It may not be good, but I made it. The switch from creating something purely from imagination to the hard work of fixing it into something good, that’s a new daunting challenge.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Apparently all you needed to do to predict the NYC election results was read that one N.K. Jemisin novel.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Either everyone gets human rights — or eventually only Party Members get human rights.

Trans rights are human rights.

Immigrant rights are human rights.

Women’s rights are human rights.

Anyone who won’t fight for them is on the wrong side.
