More people should be talking about this.

BRING IT BACK! AND THE CCC !

I now want to cry.

In reporting this piece on the new trial for a Huntington's treatment, I was struck by one thing in particular: The joy. One of my sources wept for joy. He has spent his entire career studying this disease, he said it was the happiest day. www.sciencenews.org/article/hunt...

Think of what all this money could have positively contributed to society. I’m gonna be sick. But first I’m gonna be PISSED

Mark Zuckerberg is introducing a feed that's just 100% AI slop. No pesky creativity from real people to get in the way. Eat up little piggies

UNTIL IT'S DONE, Ep. 2 When the Brownsville Clinic opened in 1916, it was the first birth control center in America. Its very existence felt impossible. For young women, it was a lifeline. 109 years later, the Clinic is long closed—but Brownsville mothers are still struggling.

The people who use this need to be excluded from society and I’m so serious.

I am so tired

…….. aside from everything else OCTOBER 1st IS THIS FUCKING WEEK

9/ I had launch with Paulina Borsook last month in Oakland. Her life is hard, but she still has a lot to say! She's trying to raise funds to get a new version of the book reissued on the Internet Archive. Some of her friends have a running GoFundMe to support her: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

2/ In 2001, Borsook said tech "libertarianism" reflected an adolescent mindset, with a craving for unchecked independence & resistance to constraint. She warned that tech libertarians wanted an anti-human world that worked more like a computer. From "Cyberselfish," a book based on her 90s writing:

It must be stopped

This is nuts

well meaning people love to be like ‘aren’t you scared of being left behind if you don’t start using AI in your work’ and from the bottom of my heart: no, im not scared of that. i would rather go back to restaurants for the rest of my life than publish AI ‘books’

So I just did the math. I have 5 days to come up with about $100 for my internet, and a week to come up with nearly $400 for my power. I could really use a miracle sometime in the immediate future.

In case anyone forgot, I fucking hate it here !!!!!

The fuck?!

ooookay this is a nightmare???

Very concerned that we still don’t know much about the long term effects of this horrific virus

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-gr...

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

I don't really want to stand up for big pharma, but what is stopping Tylenol for suing the fuck out of the government for damanges to their brand. Like they are saying "Tylenol" not acetaminophen. just wild stuff here.

You don't say!

If these maniacs aren't stopped, just being older than 30 will make you Suspect; being older than 40 will make you a Threat: Because you will Know Things & most importantly they don't want you to Know Things, _especially_ anything about last century, which unfortunately was a template for this one

“Our results establish that people are more likely to request unethical behavior from machines than to engage in the same unethical behavior themselves,” the paper concludes

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.

Last RT: i am absolutely fucking OBSESSED with the skeleton models of things that don’t have skeletons. My favorite Halloween thing. Spider skeleton? YES !!!! Let’s do it!!!!

my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”

Shanah Tovah, New York City. Here's to a sweet and hopeful New Year.

1. Childless people pay taxes, which fund schools, Medicaid and other benefits that children use until they, in turn, become taxpayers, 2. there is no way to enforce this that wouldn't be an absolute nightmare, and 3. Forcing people to raise unwanted children is bad for society

Things aren't good. Now is the time to try lots of different things.

I'm hesitant to give advice to under-30s because my life was a mess for most of my twenties and any advice I might have gotten was impossible to follow. But...if you can manage these, which many can't, I know: - set aside $50-$100 a month, every month. - turn off the tv & work on your art.
