What I'm referring to. It's a privilege to be invited onto networks to talk about my reporting but I have limits. Similarly stopped doing NewsNation after Nextar took its Kimmel stance.

Trump is pronouncing "acetaminophen" the right way. by Ezra Klein

(guy who has only read two books) this orwellian shit is starting to seem pretty dickensian to me

Discovered today that not everyone considers this nine year old viral tweet a seminal text in the field of social media studies but I do

Catchy as hell

I wrote about how Geoff Lewis, one of OpenAI’s long running investors, has sparked concern among peers who believe he may be facing a public mental health episode brought on by ChatGPT. futurism.com/openai-inves...

It is genuinely mind-blowing to me that in a world where everyone has smartphones and text messaging that kids don't have way _more_ latitude to wander. You can check in whenever you want! You can call for help in basically any circumstance!

If you turn off your phone and stare at the screen, you can actually see the face of the person locked inside it.

if i dont chime in with my opinion the world might be lost forever

sometimes in the rules based international order a nuclear power can just initiate an attack on a sovereign state to reassert its own embattled legitimacy, because they might get weapons of mass destruction, it wants to install new leadership, old unfinished business, etc, etc

Your mind is a collaboration between 86 billion neurons

Idea: they should make a computer that’s a kind of goo you could spread on your face or eat. why haven’t they been doing this? because of tradition, prejudice

Idea: there are 3 trillion trees in the world. that’s 400 trees per person. you may go out and begin claiming your trees now. however your claim is forfeit if you dont kiss them goodnight

Lmao

Remember that movie beaches with bette middler what if it was called betches

insane moment in world history right here

if it always lied or didn't work, it would be way less dangerous. magic 8-balls aren't a social problem. something that produces something roughly truth shaped and accurate like 60-75% of the time and *identical looking* insane moon logic bullshit the other 40-25% is a potentially a huge one.

I really don’t find these arguments persuasive. Take this, for example, from one of the sources: this is another way of saying ‘as much water as it takes for the beef that two people consume annually’. That’s a relatively trivial amount!

*Open bribery *Masked armed officials arresting residents without warrants, citizens who try to intervene *Arrests for engaging in non-violent speech *Destruction of government capacities *Massive economic uncertainty and damage *Unprecedented targeting of government power against political enemies

Democrats seem to think that men like Raffensperger and Sterling resisted Trump simply out of the goodness of their hearts. That was part of it. But they also probably assumed there'd be, you know, *negative consequences* to enabling a coup.

im looking forward to rats in my hotdog. things were so beautiful before upton sinclair came and fucked it all up

I’ll never get over how many in the media seem surprised that a con artist is charming in person. That’s like #1 in the list of grifter qualifications.

There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water. I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful. Thoughts?

Opinion | I like fascism. I also like my 401(k). I have never felt more politically homeless.

Don’t let my looks make you nervous about talking to me- that’s my personality’s job

@mtsw.bsky.social not sure if this has been suggested yet, but "Trump take (nest) egg"

Just saw this on a subreddit I follow – 1912 has excellent advice for the current Democratic Party.

calling trump “orange”? kinda cringe but whatever calling it “orange monday” thereby forcing future generations of economists to explain why its called that? absolutely hilarious

if we want to rebuild american institutions and earn back the world’s trust after this we cannot settle for half-measures. lots of people need to go prison. lots more need to be permanently stripped of wealth and power.

This is terrifying. This could be me. This person was born here, brown, was nearly deported. “Let me be clear: You do not need a passport to live in this country. Millions of Americans have never had one. It's not required for citizenship. It’s not even required to vote.”

because every single person in that chat faced a questionnaire which included the question "are you willing to help the president do crimes," disguised as questions about january 6th, and answered in the affirmative

When I finish a 90 minute movie without looking at my phone I feel the same level of accomplishment I used to feel after reading a novel

Reality is this is what's gonna happen sooner or later so might as well get to it. Being a judge fearful of violence by your own government because of a ruling you're making based on written laws tells you all you need to know

Truth. But more of a self reinforcing set of interconnected variables than a linear progression.
