Wait, so did the Democrats ending the govt shutdown somehow make it possible to release the emails?

I live in a rural hamlet. Our region voted for Obama, then Trump. Today are our town board elections. In our local elections, most folks split their tickets and vote based on the candidate, not their party. Two years ago, which party held a majority on the town board was decided by ten votes.

My hot take is the outcome of next year's NY governor's race primary (Hochul v. Delgado) might impact people's lives much more than the mayoral election. A lot of what Mamdani wants to do requires the governor. But either way, go vote!

The problem with chest freezers is that the design tempts you to do last-in-first-out. I want a basement freezer with two doors on opposite side walls — one to put things in and one to pull things out. For last-in-first-out.

When will we start saying that ChatGPT "lies"? The usual term is "hallucination". But when asked a question that it doesn't know the answer to, it often presents a false answer with full confidence. When you tell it "that's not right", it admits it was being untruthful. #ai

"Head over heels" is a confusing phrase because when everything is normal and stable my head is over my heels.

How deep do Spotify's AI "Ghost Artist" fabrications go — Are they making instagrams for their ghost artists?

Just learned that iphone can show only the unread texts. You gotta toggle on Settings > Messages Filter Unknown Senders. You can still also see texts from unknown senders, they're just in their own list.

Is there a thinkpiece on how ranked-choice voting might have enabled Mamdani's win? Used to be, folks were afraid to "throw away their vote" on progressives who "couldn't win"... but with ranked-choice voting, folks can vote their actual preference.

"Scrimshaw" sounds like the name of a transformer who turns into the Pequod

Mitch got more offensive rebounds than the rest of the Knicks combined, playing only 20min. Also had the best +/- Maybe Thibs should play him more

Imagine if Embiid was on the Pistons right now. All of the Knicks would be dead.

Just finished reading the book Starship Troopers. Was surprised to discover it’s pro-military and fascist—exactly the kind of vibe the film satirizes. Are there other examples of adaptations that skewer their source material?
