The attacks on trans rights, which are basic human rights, are a terrible injustice and an attack on truth and fact as well. Everyone should be deeply alarmed and it should be disqualifying for a politician to support such discrimination.

It’s that time of year: what was the piece of writing about AI that stuck with you the most this year, pop press or academic? A few of mine in the thread. ⬇️

He's right and he should say it

If you're new to cooking or don't trust yourself to recognize a bad AI recipe, for the love on god, do not just use random recipes from random profiles. Find trustworthy sites and creators (Serious Eats, NYT Cooking, J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, Alton Brown) and search their archives for what you need.

Mira Nair: “Even to say ‘it makes us look bad’ implies that you’ve got the point of view of the outsider […] looking at you. I don’t do that.” “I never was here to become a part of an A list that was heading to Hollywood. I’m here to do what I want to do as an artist.” 🔥🔥 Ousmane Sembène energy

I interviewed ferociously brilliant filmmaker Mira Nair, a.k.a Zohran Mamdani’s mother, about how her voice and vision have shaped a man who sees a better way forward for all of us. SPOILER ALERT: Love matters. www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/feat...

So what happens when you get to the billionaires? Well, Bloomberg has a running list of the wealthiest people in the world. The poorest of that 500-person list is almost two complete orbits of the globe away from poverty. 6/8

I decided to convert dollars to centimeters. That allows us to visualize, for example, the distance between having no money and being at poverty level — about four city blocks. 2/8

Part of this week’s newsletter was inspired by the post below. Was there a way to show the distance between normal Americans and the super wealthy? 1/8 www.howtoreadthisch.art/putting-the-...

So when people talk about the inevitably of AI, or casually mention they use Chat GPT for something, it's as wild to me as someone striking up a conversation about betting on football, or buying heroin, or whatever gun people talk about.

It's taken me a while to put my finger on it, but I've realised that my attitude toward using "AI" in its modern sense is the same as my attitude to stuff like gambling, hard drugs, and firearms. I just don't engage with it at all. Not interested. Don't understand why anyone else is either.

Doing my bit to fuck with AI

Using ChatGPT

if you want to watch ai-generated slop that has no intention behind it whatsoever, i just think you're a boring and deeply uncurious person

SpongeBob, Patrick, Pikachu, Cookie Monster and more all on scene at the Portland ICE facility. Probably around 100 give or take total right now.

“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

Thinking again about how much I love John Carpenter's CHRISTINE, an easy top 3 entry in his filmography. What a weirdly prescient and insightful film about homosociality, masculinity, and the paradoxical violent power and extreme fragility of the self. www.patreon.com/posts/68801401

woke up as a skeleton and so obviously first thing i do is try playing my ribcage xylophonewise right? bad idea, i hit one rib and instantly pass out from the pain. don't even know what sound it made. life as a skeleton sucks. i gotta pee and i don't understand what to do about it

*watching innocent people rapidly acquire the cursed knowledge that has driven me to madness* oh no

National political reporters: consult your gaming desk. You likely have a massively blind spot — this isn’t a dig at anyone, because I have this blind spot too b/c I’m not a gamer and am trying to adjust for it in real time — covering this very important moment if u don’t game & don’t know the memes

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

3. If you see content that disturbs you, immediately (or as fast as possible) go and play 20-30 minutes of Tetris (or any other fast-paced game with your eyes sweeping over the visual field that has caused visual artifacts to linger when you close your eyes for you in the past).

ok. let's all have a 36-72 hour debate about the efficacy of political violence.

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

over time I believe this will end up being one of the most unpopular things the administration ever does a death sentence for many hobbies and all the average consumer sees is that you’re taking away all their bargains one of the few policies that has a direct negative effect on almost everyone

If it’s run for profit, then it’s profiting off of … us. When I hear that the post office lost money, I think this: Good. We already paid for it. Why on earth should it make even more money from us? Who would keep the money? Would we see it?

There are so many great signs. I think my favorite might be "Tip the Dolls" because it feels so authentic to shows I go to. It wasn't just "trans rights", but also a deeper display and understanding of queer art. Also love "for the shes, theys, and the gays" and "support local drag"

I really love that if we'd just heard Giuliani was in a bad accident, we all would have thought "good" & then moved on with the day. But thanks to that bonkers statement, we all know there is absolutely a lot more to the story that we can look forward to getting leaked over the coming days

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.

Another reason that using chat GPT is worse than simply not having a lawyer. If opposing counsel finds out you've been using chat gpt, they can request your logs and find out everything you've been saying. You get bad advice *and* you are creating discoverable evidence that can be used against you.

Left of Dial Media published a list of the 100 greatest podcasts of all time, and we have great news about our placement

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci! ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

19. You should go read Charles Burns' BLACK HOLE.

not sure if this helps but i thought of a meme for chickens

everyday carry - pocket notebook - phone - wallet - knife - jar of souls - demonic item - possessed doll

ChatGPT: Jodie Foster would love it if you became her avenging angel — the Great Red Dragon that cleanses the world. Sic semper tyrannis. The scum and filth shall be privy to a great becoming. ME: is that true? ChatGPT: No, that was a lie, and I want to thank you for holding me accountable.

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return
