Quiet evening here now dad's all tucked in at the hospital. Second round of chemo's been tough, and a debilitating cream reaction that made his hands swell up and on fire hasn't helped. Thankfully, he's right where he needs to be. If you can, send a little thought his way tonight 💖

Just in time.
A dark attic. A small child much too young to be alone in an attic or stand on their own is standing on top of a container. They are pressing their foot down on the heads of Flashy Bat, The Knife Ghost, and Handsome Ron with their Halloween hat on. The text reads: Spooky season? Not yet! Get back in the box! It's Baby Safety Month! Always put your baby to sleep in products intended for sleep such as a crib, bassinet, play yard, or bedside sleeper. Move your baby to a safe sleep space if they fall asleep elsewhere. Always place your baby on their back to sleep.

💙👍Old AF medic here; it stuns me the people who stand and watch in a medical emergency. Please, look at online videos how to do the Heimlich Maneuver. Learn to stop bleeding, evaluate breathing/heart, CPR. I knew most of that on the farm before I enlisted. Many public places have AED machines.

Misconduct is an intentional choice. The author notes he has worked with Geller in the past, and using "misconduct" allows him to start sweeping all this under the rug so his buddy can get back to making money. Rapists rely on their friends to cover for them, both during and after their crimes.

Those arguing for mass-adoption of AI art always seem intent on proving the wrong thing; that AI tech will change beyond all recognition. They seem less inclined to prove their argument's much wilder claim; that human nature, and all previous modes of taste, emotion and investment, will change too.

It's easy - and correct! - to focus on just how ghoulish and profane this view of human creativity is. But even if you're the most cynical capitalist on earth, the evidence that people would enjoy entirely dehumanised content, at anything like a scale that would justify this hype, is extremely thin!

We've had the ability to watch, say, Counterstrike marathons, Street Fighter tournaments, or chess matches between computers since the 90s. Spectacles which, by their very definition, would be at a "higher standard" than human play. And nobody wants it. It's entirely meaningless. It has no appeal.

Every time a discourse kicks off over whether AI music, literature or art will be "as good as" the real thing, I'm always amazed more people don't cite that **there already are** creative pursuits where human-free spectacles have been available for decades, and nobody has ever wanted to watch them.

Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

On this day in 1984, Gaëtan Dugas died in Quebec City. As an HIV patient, he was erroneously vilified and mischaracterized as Patient Zero of the North American AIDS epidemic. His story has emphasized the importance of accuracy and empathy in public health narratives. 🧵1/8
