This is what I imagine it's like working for a large tech company

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

In the 1940's would could buy a ring for 15 cents that had radioactive material and if you looked inside you could see the particles hitting a little screen. *Stares sadly at the latest Happy Meal toy* (btw one of these is for sale right now on ebay)

Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

It looks like Tim Walz is not playing. "I've issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard… these National Guard troops are our National Guard troops. Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight."

If you knew Renee Nicole Good - the 37 year old killed by ICE in Minneapolis today - please text me at 202-510-1268. You can remain anonymous

In Chicago's Winnemac Park tonight, a growing crowd of around a hundred neighbors have gathered for an emergency vigil for Renee Nicole Good, a 37 yr old mom shot and killed by DHS in Minneapolis today.

My very smart colleagues are doing excellent coverage of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis today. I would urge you to follow along with local sources familiar with the area and the residents here.

Growing crowd here at 34th and Portland in south Minneapolis, where witnesses tell me an ICE agent shot an observer in her car. Witnesses said she was not responsive and was taken away. Bovino is on scene along with dozens of federal agents.

I could write so many grants..

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, could you please establish an official NYC Mayor account on Bluesky and post everything your office is currently posting on X over here? And please remove all city accounts from X, which has become a CSAM creation and distribution site? No money for Musk, ever, please.

Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

The explosion of popularity of LLMs — and the trust people put in them — indicates that the claimed death of expertise is overblown: people really do want (perceived) expertise. They just don’t like the experts. They want experts who will agree with their priors, and chatbots are the perfect vehicle

Found the coolest website that takes random found cassette tapes people submit and digitizes them. I’m listening to an NYC hip hop station from 1994: intertapes.net

Comically over-lawyered and under-inspiring. Just resign, man. Take a lobbying job or something. This is why Democrats look to a mayor like Zohran Mamdani for national leadership.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

Zohran is unbelievably talented but i still worry about his ability to navigate NYPD issues without losing support. what people like us want him to do with the NYPD and what can be done practically are worlds apart. i hope he can make progress and i hope people understand that it's not an easy task

🚨 Breaking: NYC no more affordable than it was 53 minutes ago. An exclusive on how it all went wrong for Mamdani.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

It's nice to see optimistic opinions. Not every day has to be gloom and doom.

Hell yes. Put this quote in the rafters.

This is why Molly is not allowed to do tours.

Journals discover that they can nag you about a review being late before it's actually late.

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

“the president seems to be using the doj to hide his years of involvement with the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history” feels like a story worth reporting on

Sometimes I feel like Japan is the final boss of the social sciences

The way to make this matter is for the outrage from the general public to become more of a problem than the Trump Regime's outrage. A thing we know is possible from Jimmy Kimmel. So far, so good. Keep going.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out. This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

We gave Jay Bhattacharya an opportunity to clarify his vaccine stance: does he REALLY believe that the vaccine is worse than the disease? Instead, he launched into a defense of MAHA as the future of scientific inquiry, and never really gave us a straight answer... @repauchincloss.bsky.social

Looks at calendar: Seems like I've got a FACULTY NEETIBNG coming up. Cool.

Ok, this is nuts. Once you see it you cannot unsee it. Do you see it? (OP @drgbuckingham.bsky.social )

The funny thing is there are absolutely traits skills and characteristics that financially super successful people have and they are: money being born into money knowing other people with money

oh... oh no

Going back to an old favorite of mine Dark City (1998), and I realize now that it has become an allegory about what LLMs do to our collective human work. It's a sci-fi film with a highly stylized detective noir vibe, if that's your thing.

Prediction: task-based optimization will ultimately prove to have a relatively minor role in DNN models of the ventral stream. Although tasks (including self-supervised ones) are currently crucial, there are signs that a simpler approach is possible. A thread:

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray. The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter. These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby. We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

“Commercial breaks were largely filled with spots from direct-response advertisers, including the dietary supplement SuperBeets. “Viewers of of the telecast on WCBS, the CBS flagship in New York, saw a commercial for Chia Pet, the terra-cotta figure that sprouts plant life after a few weeks.”
