“Ironically, while naming AI psychosis might seem like a step toward addressing an emerging, unmet public health need, this term easily becomes a distraction from the underlying problem it exposes — by pathologizing users instead of penalizing companies.”

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

Having lived through two cat 5 Caribbean hurricanes: Jamaica will require aid for years. The devastation's hard to overstate. This is our new norm under climate change. Infra like elec/water will be disrupted for weeks for critical locations, months for residents. DO NOT DONATE TO USA RED CROSS.

how am I just realizing that Mamdani's mother is Mira Nair?!?

Damn. Not even one response. Back in the day I woulda got at least 6 😔 if not much more.

Stop hiring humans? Don't stop hiring humans? Make up your minds! (Photos by me in San Francisco, October 25, 2025)

Okay y'all, some friends got pretty bad news recently. please send/share 🎶 tunes to help — any genre: house, EDM, reggae, alternative, rock, indie, hip-hop, whatever. 🙏🏽 #music #community

Writing up my thoughts on this into a long piece. The one thing that worries me is that large scale protests in competitive authoritarian regimes often precede authoritarian consolidation rather than a reversal of autocracy. Russia, Hungary, Turkey also saw large protests before backsliding further.

Dammit Apple. I never upgrade my OS because you always break ish. I just mistakenly/begrudgingly upgraded to Tahoe and now my music library is in shambles. JFC. WTF.

Tariff costs to companies this year to hit $1.2 trillion, with consumers taking most of the hit, S&P says. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/16/t... #Tariffs #Consumers #Economy #Business #Bills

spotify pays millions to transphobic anti-vaxxer Joe Rogan and so my production company pulled all our podcasts off the service years ago and never looked back they “pay” fractions of pennies to every musician there too consider finding a better service shouldn’t be hard when the bar’s this low!

This seems like a good time to remind everyone that Donald Trump’s first appearance in the New York Times was when the Nixon Justice Dept. sued him and his father for refusing to rent apartments to black people.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Keep in mind that ICE now has a budget larger than every military in the world except the US and Chinese militaries. Things are going to get much worse. I'm not saying this to create fear, it's fact. The administration is at war with Americans.

Dystopia now comes with a Halloween costume.

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

I took this photo of a sniper on a roof in Ferguson 11 years ago on this day. And now there are snipers on a roof in Broadview.

my sister googled "fun things to do in Boston this weekend" and it told her to go sit on Storrow Drive and watch a bunch of college kids peel their rented Penske moving trucks open like tin cans

NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:

Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

This is an example where the problem is not so much the capabilities of LLMs as it is the fact that we have independently normalized a widespread culture of acceptable lying

Palantir and Starlink should be considered a threat by every government agency foreign and domestic. Thiel and Musk (both Apartheid babies) do not care about governments or international law.

Good read on sustainibility of a very particular pedagogical model with lessons for those in the business of teaching DH.

2 Chainz sampled Tom Lehrer's The Old Dope Peddler 60 years after it had been recorded. Lehrer's response to the license request: "As sole copyright owner of 'The Old Dope Peddler', I grant you motherfuckers permission to do this. Please give my regards to Mr. Chainz, or may I call him 2?" RIP TOM

What. And I mean this. In thee entire. Fuck.

Credit cards are very convenient and all, but it's crazy that we've just accepted that there will be a(nother) middleman in every single transaction taking 2-3% out while allowing a couple of companies to know about every single purchase we make.

This Is Not yesterdays news of 100 Palestinians killed trying to get flour. Genocide is an understatement.

I tested it in Primo Research Assistant, not surprising, I got similar results since Summon Research Assistant is sister product and both work the same by using LLM to generate Boolean search strategy. Gaza war shows no results. Tusla Race riots get a scary error message but does generate answer(1)

We've been seeing light probes for SharePpoint `/_layouts/*` for a cpl wks & an extra minor burst from the 19th on from these IPs (1 of which is "new*" to GN): 185.177.72.8 49.36.215.199 172.174.82.132 206.238.198.198 45.15.167.151 45.15.167.149* 45.130.86.2 141.255.164.12 194.88.100.206 Block'em.

Honestly surprised and doubtful they can’t already do this.

Amazon Ring is introducing a new feature that would allow police to request live-stream access to people’s home security devices. Helllll no. If you have one of those things, get rid of it. Kill it with fire

LOX and Poppa, turning niggas into Jim Hoffa. Who gon’ stop us? Your last joint double copper.

"But you cannot separate the technological artefacts from the fact that the process of building these technologies mirror racial capitalism and coloniality, employ global labor exploitation and extractive practices, and reinforce the global north and south divide." I will never stop shouting this.

“By the end of the year, Delta plans for 20% of its ticket prices to be individually determined using AI, president Glen Hauenstein told investors last week.” “Over time, the goal is to do away with static pricing altogether…”

I have begun to think (on the model of France) about the idea of a Third Republic - 1st is 1776, 2nd since the Civil War. US institutions have been so degraded and legitimacy so eroded that I think we can say it will take a new founding for the project to continue

I cried for the first time in a long time today. Make of that what you will. #DoE
