But I’m very obedient, so I’m going to go ahead and try to make it work. Maybe I superglue it to a drone. Maybe this even sort of works, and you’re very jazzed about this. But you, not understanding that this is a LEGO set superglued to a drone, don’t realize how precarious it is.

US Americans don't know that their chicken tastes like this because it's chlorinated and they also somehow don't know that the government is using chlorinated chicken as a geopolitical bargaining chip idk man

so tempting and yet !

IN CONCLUSION, this is a fucking mess

I have recently been talking to people in the AI rights and sentience field and I think they are more realistic about the current actual rights & sentience status of chatbots than many reporters which is often giving uncanny valley

Can only assume the AI drawing people hate LEGO

Opioid Literacy, Casino Literacy, Vape Literacy, Multilevel Marketing Literacy, Parasitism Literacy, Ethics-washing Literacy, Consent Obviation Literacy,,,

This is why if you think "should I go to J school or should I do an MFA" you should choose the MFA

I am SO excited for the audiobook of this because I find this prose style to be extremely soothing

the people involved in that ghoulish mcdonalds ad have deluded themselves to levels previously uncharted lbbonline.com/news/melanie...

I'm gonna put this on a tshirt and wear it at the journalism school

I know I need to do this but I am honestly afraid of what happens when I kick my sibling off the family plan. I've tried before.

I am NOT open to buying a burger unless i can see real footage of a human being eating it. This is a hard line for me. What are they hiding??

Q: Are you implying that these influencers take the vulnerability of young men to make money for themselves? GILMORE: Absolutely. All of this is a grift... There is a lot of money that you can make in telling people that you have all the answers.

Ok but like low key what if the purpose of something is like what it does www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Curious to think about what will happen to police departments when they can't raise money from traffic violations

I love doing research and I especially love AI summaries that make me feel normal about information and truth

Sometime last year, a CUNY alum contacted me saying they’d found some photos they took at the 1995 protest against budget cuts and would I please take them so they could clear out their attic? They arrived today and they DID NOT DISAPPOINT

really very tired of Daily Mail themed policy-making

FFS, just let them work, so they don't HAVE to claim money from the government for taxis!

Right because I know a lot of words but I burn myself literally every time I cook

sorry but links like "near-bankruptcy = unbeatable" and "near-destruction of company = determined" are now inside this system which is why it can no longer accurately identify conifers :)

Fine-tuning the model to give these outputs will likely have resulted in Grok developing piping hot takes on a range of other subjects that are deeply connected in the model but entirely random in reality and I am a little sad that I'll never know what they are.

Yes I am also very susceptible to attack via poetry. Write me a poem.

right like buying a painting doesn't make you an artist?

Great thread thanks. Am I being too simplistic at saying we sometimes confuse what voters find most noticeable versus what they care about?

We have to outlaw wildfire and invasive plant metaphors until someone can figure out what the hell is going on

The thing about her writing the book on her phone has really stuck with me but like, yes, this is how my iphone notes are structured also

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

Sorry but Malorie Blackman already told me not to get involved

the only reason I moved to NYC was all the CBD drinks in the bodegas (they've gone out of style but i Still Hope)

"did women ruin the workplace" like cmon man it's a workplace it was never gonna be *that* good

When you have a hammer (scientific hyperfocus on genetics etc that leads you to make discoveries in the field) everything looks like a nail (is eugenics)

this was me for the fashionbrandcompany sample sale

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Sora: “Tiktok style high energy video explainer about the spinning columns of penguins in the sky. The pillar has always been there.” Now do it as a conspiracy theorist. Now a conspiracy debunker. Now a travel influencer We live in a strange time (not the penguin pillar. That has always been there)

I took a photojournalism class this semester to give my brain a break after a pretty bad concussion, but it turned out to be really fun and now I'm using my brain more than ever

Bedstuy Canvass kickoff earlier this evening with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

I regret to report that I wrote about Anne Helen Petersen leaving Substack for Patreon, and why does not in fact make the internet better for anyone, despite what people may think. Please stop building giant platforms and embrace decentralization. www.leahreich.com/feeds-and-fo...

Took more photos of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social this evening at a canvass kickoff in Hell's Kitchen. It was pretty hectic. I first covered this campaign in May at a rent freeze event in Harlem - I find it wild how much this has all grown since then

Last week at the @hellgatenyc.com podcast taping, someone referenced someone as as "bald, with an earring", and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social said (paraphrasing) "are you talking about Count Olaf?" This is why we need more millennials in office

Crowd vibes at @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social GOTV rally last night at Forest Hills Stadium, Queens, NYC

Photographed my first ever big rally last night - GOTV for the first day of early NYC Mayoral voting in Forest Hills, Queens - with Zohran Mamdani, AOC & Bernie Sanders. Learned a lot about lighting and crowd photography.

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
