I still get threats from men I wrote about a decade ago who are angry I covered federal lawsuits against them related to sexual assault allegations. To my personal email, to new work emails. I don’t think readers understand how difficult and laborious it is to get these stories published

He's going to run as the anti-war candidate in 2028 and the stupidest people you know are all going to pretend to believe it.

Something to remember is that it took more than a year for Ronan Farrow to write the Harvey Weinstein story, and it’s not because he was lazy.

I lol'd at this.😆

Age verification bills are bad, actually. The government shouldn't be doing this. Parents should, you know, parent.

oh, this is very important to know!!

even the chat window is an intentional choice. there are other ways to interact with an LLM besides that format. but thats the only format that gives the illusion of human-like cognition

The use of “hallucinate” is a stroke of true evil genius in the AI world. In ANY other context we’d just call them errors & the fail rate would be crystal clear. Instead, “hallucinate” implies genuine sentience & the *absence* of real error. Aw, this software isn’t shit! Boo’s just dreaming!

I understand that the general bluesky view of this stuff is "lol anthropic press release" but finding new exploits is something I actually think is right in the wheelhouse of LLMs because a lot of exploit finding is poking at things with a stick for hours and LLMs never get tired

Everybody feel better now?

Unprecedented corruption

They still hate all the same people. They're just coming at it from a slightly different angle now. They are NOT our allies.

Automatic draft registration: streamlined, efficient. Automatic voter registration: creeping deep state tyranny.

Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work* Why TF is anyone using ChatGPT as a timer!

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

"If you remove him you get Vance." You're familiar with Donald J Trump's foreign policy where we remove a country's leaders one by one until we get to one we can do business with? No reason impeachment can't work the same way

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

If the wealthy can get you thinking about who deserves basic needs and who doesn't, they win. They don't care if you think wealthy people are the ones who don't deserve; establishing that it must be earned is the key. With that done, they can just keep expanding the definition of "undeserving."

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

I simply can’t believe Congress and the cabinet are sitting around, totally fine with what is absolutely demented behavior from the president.

Here are the stories of some of the human beings who died horrific deaths from preventable disease because Trump and Musk and their flunkies decided to murder them by gleefully destroying USAID and the entire global aid system:

Just in case folks miss this due to the block

my parents on the moon launch mom: why are they going to the moon dad: same reason we go to your brother in Australia- some people like going very far away to a place where you die if you go outside

Again, he's addressing children gathered for an Easter Egg roll on the White House lawn, standing next to someone in an Easter Bunny costume, talking about all the people he's killed

President Trump threatened to obliterate every power station and bridge in a country of 90 million people on Tuesday night in prime time and basically no one is bothering to even ask him how that is not a “war” that would require authorization from Congress under Article I of the Constitution.

What industry calls "personalized pricing" is really *surveillance* pricing: using digital tools' flexibility to change the price for each user, and using surveillance data to guess the worst price you'll accept: pluralistic.net/2025/06/24/p... 1/

I’m serious, the Boomer inability to self-regulate about mortality is literally the reason for the weird cultural/media obsession with millennials as These Lazy Kids With Their Participation Trophies. WE ARE IN OUR 30s AND 40s

I have largely accepted that we’re a lost generation—we are never going to have proportional representation, we are never going to have any sort of security, and we’re going to die younger than our predecessors. I don’t want that for Gen Z, and I definitely don’t want it for Gen Alpha.

I wrote about this very thing today www.thehandbasket.co/p/refusing-t...

Man I have never been so happy for a random pilot I have never met before

As November Kelly has pointed out, the weirdest thing about Trumpismo is how the man seethes and rails against a game that is thoroughly rigged in America's favor, because he resents having to pretend to play the game *at all*: pluralistic.net/2026/01/26/i... 1/

Stateless people with no rights is a feature, not a bug, of the Trump/Wurman/Barnett plan.

It’s actually possible to write headlines that don’t obscure who did what. Thanks, AP.

I wish I had my old laptop because there was a wonderful essay about how often conservative politicians, from senators to the president, referenced ‘24’ as justification for their anti-democratic actions after 9/11.

Everyone needs to just keep repeating this, over and over. The politics of a case is NOT JUST ABOUT THAT CASE. There is a meta-game here too. This case is surely going to be used as cover for gutting the VRA. And too many pundits are going to fall for it.

Well they do say stick to what you know

Brilliant insight

This Andy Weir quote annoyed me so much that I wrote a whole-ass response to it: fozmeadows.substack.com/p/politics-i...

it's come to this ... on its 250th anniversary, America is now begging the Royal Navy to help out.

Add France to the list. One by one, U.S. allies are shutting their airspace to American military operations.

IMAGINE

This is a clearer and better-articulated rebuttal of some libertarian reasoning than I’ve been able to write.

We're a diverse species, cognitively speaking - different ways of thinking come more easily to some than others. I'm good at lots of things, but I have *terrible* spatial sense. I can't parallel park or catch a ball. I get lost so easily it's almost comical (it's a running joke in my family). 1/

NBC: Under intl law, hitting civilian infrastructure is prohibited. Why is POTUS threatening war crimes? LEAVITT: POTUS has made it quite clear to the Iranian regime their best move is to make a deal or else N: Which objectives would destroying a desalination plant help? LEAVITT: Haley, go ahead

Really not loving how basically every politician on the planet is jumping on board with these types of age verification laws, tbh!

Aside from being repulsive on its own, it is just incredibly strategically stupid to be talking like this when you claim to be hoping for an overwhelmingly Muslim population to rise up against the theocratic regime you’re attacking.

your grandparents voting for reagan

100% of the people who claim to be “defending Western civilization” think Western civilization is Christian ethnonationalism

So large it’s going to take two flushes.
