ChatGPT is probably the biggest honey pot of willingly-turned over highly confidential information that has ever been created in human history.

First newsletter goes out from Beehiiv in the morning. It's a great time to financially support me after I've left the networking & discoverability of Substack.

maybe my favorite country and western artist?

I wrote a piece for Rollingstone about Monsieurs Kimmel, and Colbert and The First Amendment. And, oddly enough, also about Paddy Chayevsky. www.rollingstone.com?p=1235432169...

wrote about Disney's reinstatement of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Nexstar and Sinclair's continued refusal to air the show, the ever-present shadow of Brendan Carr, and what these developments mean for the free-speech battles at the center of it all: slate.com/technology/2...

Michael Porter Jr. will be late for a shootaround this year because he spent too much time giddily re-reading that day's New York Post

we all have stupid electric mowers on my street, only one person on the block with a gas and oil-powered lawnmower and I want to go roll around in the smell of that grass after every swipe

running out of room on my computer so I'm just posting instead

as a dude who is just here to collect my paycheck twice monthly, I know what this look means

The democrats had a combined 12 years (8 Obama and 4 Biden) to break up Sinclair. People were hip to this stuff in the 2004 election.

Ray Charles & the Raelettes recording "Hit the Road, Jack" 📷 Bill Ray for Life Magazine, March 1966 Clydie King, Gwen Berry and Merry Clayton: wonderful singers! youtube.com/watch?v=x9A7...

Remembering Ray Charles on his birthday 🎂 📷 Tony Evans, 1964 "He could belt like a blues shouter and croon like a pop singer, and he used the flaws and breaks in his voice to illuminate emotional paradoxes." - from his NY Times obit, by Jon Pareles & Bernard Weinraub

A new study, based on a survey of 1,150 workers suggests that the injection of AI tools into the workplace has not resulted in a magic productivity boom and instead increased the amount of time that workers say they spend fixing low-quality AI-generated “work.” 🔗 www.404media.co/ai-workslop-...

Liking the person involved does not stop AI from being harmful. It’s hard to get people to understand the harms until it impacts them and the whole thing is frustrating.

Amanda Shires spent an afternoon introducing me to Lubbock and a small portion of those very fun hours is now chronicled in Texas Monthly ahead of her new album :) gift link: www.texasmonthly.com/arts-enterta...

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Conservative values do not align with sports. They don't believe in teamwork, sportsmanship, or honest competition These are all things that contradict their ethos of being whiny little bitches

A rich and powerful man voluntarily bearing a cross onstage, but adding wheels so it's not remotely difficult, is the perfect picture for our country.

26,000 YouTube views for Sinclair’s Charlie Kirk tribute special. Just for comparison, Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue on any average Wednesday will get between two and four MILLION YouTube views. Right wing culture is fringe stuff. It is not American culture by any stretch.

Abortion is literally Democrats' strongest issue with the widest appeal! This is constantly born out in polling, referendum results, and the results of elections where Democrats focus on abortion! There is no actual evidentiary basis for "compromising" on abortion, it's just what Twitter says!

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.

not sure about the accuracy of this particular data, but not surprised readers abandon outlets that insist on framing events around the delusional arguments of corrupt, unserious figures, people transparently building out their own realities for gain & protection from their own internalized taboos.

Y’all have to understand and absorb the fact the leadership of the Democratic Party has purposefully defined themselves against this person and what they believe she represents for decades now.

Remembering Chico Hamilton on his birthday 🎂 📷 Jerry Schatzberg, 1965 "Hamilton had a subtle and melodic approach that made him ideally suited for the understated style that came to be known as cool jazz, of which his hometown, Los Angeles, was the epicenter." - Peter Keepnews
