“…before we ask whether AI can perform adequately in a job, we should at least consider the possibility that the company that sells that AI tool will be bankrupt in a year or two.” @doctorow.pluralistic.net pluralistic.net/2026/06/06/a...

Ex-wife: YOU ALWAYS THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, DON'T YOU?!? *pause* Me: I do. If I thought I was wrong, I would change my mind. Do you often continue arguing knowing you're wrong?

I'm pretty sure this is Satyrical.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

So, Dutton Ranch is just a West World spinoff?

Sure sounds like fascist bullshit to me.

Recent status: watching someone that works at Zoom take a past due security training about not taking meetings in public spaces while he was on a train going between Copenhagen and Stockholm. He completed his training then had a sales meeting about volume discounts.

Is there another Christian bible that I'm not aware of? I don't remember this bit. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Had a rare chance to wander the Met Museum at The Cloisters yesterday and this painting of St. Michael spearing the antichrist... Is it just me or is the antichrist _thirsty_? He's super into being speared. Spear me, Michael, thrust your big spear into me!

When my son was a baby, I had a dream where Sting kidnapped him and, then, was VERY condescending about it. "I'll give him a better life than _you_ could possibly do," he said. The kid turns 27 this year and I still reflexively dislike Sting for the way he was in my dream.

New from me: Five years ago, I criticized a San Francisco TV reporter for getting her facts wrong. Ever since, she and her allies have alleged that I was part of a conspiracy to end her career. That narrative just got a boost with her new book, which is being promoted by some powerful tech people.

The USA has blocked 5 players from Iraq's team from coming to the World Cup. Including one who plays in the English Football League. Boycott the World Cup.

Slightly increase a band: Exodus

Having mentioned Bruce Cockburn...I feel like this song was ahead of its time. Or, if not ahead of its time, somehow even more relevant today than it was when he wrote it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9HF...

What's your favorite cover song? Barenaked Ladies cover of Bruce Cockburn's "Lovers in a Dangerous Time". www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_oO...

The most hilarious part of this is that the recall only affects 173 total vehicles, because that's all Tesla's sold of its rear wheel drive model.

This is going to be met with a bunch of "that will never hold up in court" responses. Ok. So do it anyway. Force this administration to make its preposterous masking arguments in front of federal judges. Make them defend secret police on the record. Go on the offensive.

I was four when Star Wars came out. My grandmother told my mom it would give me nightmares and my mother held it against me, to her deathbed, that I proved grandma right and had nightmares about R2-D2 getting blown up.

Saw an AI subreddit post where someone was asking which online banks support the Model Context Protocol 🤔 idk man

California Democrats running for governor are rizzless, but the Republican frontrunner is… British?

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

Decided to re-read this book after recommending it to a friend and...as much as things have changed since 1972, a lot of it could've been written in 2016, 2020, and 2024.

I was walking on Lenox and saw a VERY EXCITED dog come out of an apartment building, tugging on the lead. He went 10' to the first patch of grass and sprawled out, nose buried in the turf. I think he spent all morning thinking about touching grass.

Goldrunner on the Atari ST.

I love it when somebody wraps up a long story with "So, to make a long story short..."

Losing my mind at this

86 47 you ludicrous stooge

Jim Crow was in my dad's lifetime. Mass incarceration and the drug war continue in mine. The Interstate highway system and urban renewal destroyed -- and continues to destroy -- billions in heritable black wealth. And that's just the most prominent, state-endorsed, institutionalized stuff.

🧵 This whole thread is comedy gold.

I am not a lawyer but what the actual fuck? I feel like it's pretty self-evident that I have a right to not inhale chemical weapons. www.opb.org/article/2026...

Margaret Brennan seems to have _effortlessly_ transitioned to being an administration propagandist. I try to avoid Face The Nation but my partner watches it -- Brennan's interview of Todd Blanche this morning was Pravda quality.

St. James Joy is a block dance party that started during the Covid lockdown. This is the second year I've went and "Joy" is definitely the operative word, even in the drenching rain. 1/ #StreetPhotography #Brooklyn #Dance

@mayor.nyc.gov Any chance of getting an official response to this article?

I miss "Trustworthy Computing".

make sure you choose a password that contains capital letters, numbers, and special symbols so that someday the data broker who purchases your info can go "ooh good password" after your login details are inevitably leaked in a data breach you can do nothing to prevent

The core AI vendors are starting to eat the seed corn.

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

"Without stating your age, post your favorite film released the year you turned 18." Errr, 1991 was not a banner year for cinema.

do you ever wake up at 3am and think "shit that's a good idea, I better write that down so I can share it later on"

this morning, mamdani’s team got in touch with me to float a new tax proposal: if your net worth exceeds $5 million and you dress badly, you’ll be hit with a 10% annual levy for “visual pollution.” i would be in charge of deciding if the outfits are bad.

I always imagined that tacky would be a compliment coming from Trump.

Surprising no one, Tom Waits and Massive Attack are really fucking good
