New funny cat resting spot just dropped 🐈

A very good measure of how well the cats are adjusting to their new home: how many times they demand play each day.

Announcing co/core: a social computing experiment from the Graze team

During the national anthem, President Donald Trump was booed by the Game 3 crowd at MSG.

The ROOST Model Community is growing! Today we welcome Zentropi's CoPE-B-A4B, a bring-your-own-policy model that's got the power of 25B but runs on only 4B active parameters. It's a fast, low-cost model that can be used on its own or as a first pass before larger models! roost.tools/blog/welcomi...

Since May 2025, we've removed 8,526 accounts tied to state-backed influence activity on Bluesky. 4,907 of those takedowns happened in 2026 alone, roughly double the rate we saw in 2025. 1/4 🧵

Jesus, USCIS just continues to make cruel and stupid policies 🤬 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/u...

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

Bittersweet moment clearing off the PhD desk 😢

Damn, what a treat of a WCF

Arnold Arboretum smells and colors in the spring are undefeated

Like @mychal3ts.bsky.social writes, “The library is always here for you." That's why we're committed to being here for our libraries. This year, we're adding $31.7 million in permanent, baseline funding to our city's three library systems so they can better serve New Yorkers.

Our new report is out: How Americans Spend Their Time Online. www.nuinfoinstitute.org/publications... Five companies (Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Yahoo, Amazon) capture more than half of all online time. Alphabet alone takes 35%.

As I write up my last grad school paper, I increasingly wonder if academic papers will ever transition to a shorter, more direct format.

Anyone interested in standardising political ad libraries on AT? We could get all parties to post (under their legit handle) in this way and have a unified-but-decentralised transparency database that way.

Turns out college drop out DOGE bros put in charge of cancelling humanities grants violated both the law and the First Amendment by asking ChatGPT to tell them why it was okay to cancel grants for being "DEI"

I cannot stress how cataclysmically STUPID it is to not fund science.

I was looking for a python implementation of sharpened q-values, and was about to roll my own, when I came across @joshash.bsky.social's: github.com/josh-ashkina.... Nice work!

Nice blog post @yang3kc.bsky.social! Always helpful to read how others are you using different models/harnesses, especially open ones. www.kaichengyang.me/blog/alterna...

More details on the firing of the National Science Board. The NSF now has no director, deputy director, or board. They have issued almost no new awards in 2026. The plan appears to be to completely destroyed the agency. The details are horrifying and have Russ Vought written all over them.

This tweet came 11 years, 6 months & 27 days into LeBron's career. It’s been 10 years & 11 months since the tweet & the fuckery continues

"The State Department is excluding tech researchers from the United States because of their constitutionally protected work, and this newly disclosed memo only underscores the unbounded scope and unconstitutionality of the policy" -- @carriedecell.bsky.social knightcolumbia.org/content/knig...

This is a really cool idea -- using bandits to learn how to allocate attention across one's different feeds.

One of my favorite days in Boston: Marathon day!

It's sooooo fun checking this box 29 times per day

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning.. We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance. And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use! 1/

Patients ask LLMs medical questions — but how they phrase it matters more than it should. Our new preprint explores how different phrasings of patient health questions can lead to inconsistent conclusions, even with the same evidence. [1/6] Full Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2604.05051

Love seeing pre-registered experiments like this. Nice work!

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

next reporter who interviews stephen miller should ask him point blank if his goal in minneapolis is to kill more americans

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
