One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldnβt make it again.

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.
I recently subscribed to @theverge.com; they've been doing some really great reporting.
Never really appreciated how anti-fascist Casablanca was.
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isnβt sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Liam, 5, has been freed, but four other students from his school district remain detained in Texas. Two boys from his elementary school were taken Thurs
βThis isnβt something we are prepared or trained for. Weβve dedicated our lives to protecting + educating children,β school superintendent told me
People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.
About fucking time.
Hell, yeah.
βIβve got white skin, so Iβm using my privilege to speak for my friends and neighbors. Weβre telling them to stay home and stay safe, and weβre coming out and fighting for them.β
It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think itβs because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.
For Liam.
genuinely one of the funniest people who has ever lived, an absolute treasure in all of her roles
RIP to a legend

This. I keep thinking of Liam and picturing my own son locked up like this. I can hear him asking for his favorite stuffie and not understanding why it's not there, and why no one can bring it to him. This is utterly deranged, deplorable, and detestable.
Prosecute. These. Motherfuckers. Now.
The violent occupation of Minneapolis started with a vlog. I've wanted to find a framework to describe Nick Shirley & others like him: "Influencer" is too quaint. "Journalist" is obviously wrong.
I landed on "slopagandist."

Important. There has not been a deescalation.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. Itβs dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
