Our government illegally invaded Venezuela and captured their president and first lady to take over their resource production and to project power and control into South America, threatened to invade Greenland to do the same, and ICE agents harassed and executed an innocent US citizen.

Get angrier.

Texas is banning Plato excerpts from philosophy courses. For context, Plato founded one of the first institutions of higher learning in all of Western civilization. 2,400+ years later, fragile conservatives are trying to censor him.

ChatGPT Gave Teen Advice to Get Higher on Drugs Until He Died Detailed chat logs show how ChatGPT convinced a young man to take increasingly dangerous drug doses over an 18 month spiral.

Politicians & lobbying groups have been trying for years to prosecute the low-level dealers, plugs, and even just friends-who-use-together for homicide when someone dies from an overdose.

ChatGPT coached a kid to take drugs with it for months then gave medical advice that was so wrong it killed him

They are not buying the Trump administration's claim that the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good was somehow justified.

Almost like despite proclamations to the contrary, they are getting the message that they can use β€œvehicle as a deadly weaponβ€œ as an excuse to fire on people

I’m sick of ads;
Tired of spam;
All of my classmates;
With their gen AI trash.

How many times;
Must I click unsubscribe?
When will our institutions;
Proclaim AI slop plagiarized?

Numb to that ding;
Emails lost and unseen;
Vapid Canvas discussions;
Nothing but robots whirring.

Last week @theverge.com published my essay exploring the limitations of large-language models. This week, that same essay is cited by a federal judge in Michigan to distinguish the process of human reasoning from what these models do. Very, very gratifying.

I quit Apple 20 years into my career and became homeless. Hitting bottom led me to heal and find a new path. An Apple engineer quit her job and couldn't get hired after several months, becoming homeless. She shares how school helped her start over and heal.

I was interviewed by @businessinsider.com in their "As-Told-To" series about people beginning second careers.

Thank you to Tess Martinelli for sharing my story and big changes since leaving Apple in 2021.

What a tragedy it would be for any other woman to spend more than 20 years believing she is unfixable with an incurable mental disorder that will never allow her to acclimate in society. We have to talk about all the aspects of diagnoses, not just symptomatology.

We are more than symptoms.

It is so important for girls and women to have their dysfunctional behaviors properly assigned to what happened to them. While medication may work for some people to control this, it doesn't for everyone.

Counseling for my abuse literally changed how I experience life and relationships entirely.

For posterity, her discussion about childhood sexual assault is in her book The Dark Side of Innocence: Growing Up Bipolar and her discussion about adulthood sexual assault is in Manic: A Memoir.

And because Terri Cheney was also subjected to childhood AND adulthood sexual assault, though she argues that she had supportive parents so her symptoms and behavior are divorced from her traumatic experiences, Amazon and essentially everyone involved has some responsibility here to talk about this.

I'm not saying Hathaway's performance was bad, but it did offer up some stereotypical bipolar behaviors and characteristics and didn't engage how those overlap with other issues, particularly among young women who have been abused.

Finally, when I went to intensive Domestic Violence counseling, I was given an ACE questionnaire and a new doctor who gave everything over the course of my life a fresh set of eyes. I was diagnosed with PTSD and ADHD and recommended an Autism screening.

Several years ago I was diagnosed with ADHD and my doctor said I should get a second opinion about the Bipolar Disorder, but hadn't known me when I was younger so didn't feel comfortable telling me the diagnosis was wrong, because having been hospitalized a single time for my actions met criteria.

This diagnosis followed me around everywhere, despite that many of the people who knew me questioned the validity as I didn't meet the diagnostic criteria. It took me decades to own it and wear it with pride. This was in spite of the fact that people, especially men, used it as a pejorative.

When I was 19, I tried to take my own life after I had been sexually assaulted several times, including by a group of college students at a frat house by the time I was 18. It came 2 weeks after I had been trafficked into torture and abuse pornography. I was diagnosed this time with Bipolar Type I.

Is bipolar over diagnosed in adolescents? | European Psychiatry | Cambridge Core Is bipolar over diagnosed in adolescents? - Volume 41 Issue S1

I thought I was born broken. In 2000, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and put on Effexor XR, which made me suicidal. My doctor didn't give me an Adverse Childhood Experiences questionnaire, nor did he ask me anything about my homelife or school experiences at all.
