Very saddened to say I won’t be able to headline Tim Pool’s student event in Chicago this week. I unfortunately have other plans.
Hi Katherine,
Timcast Media is partnering with the Chicago Thinker to host a student event in Chicago on October 9 at 4:00 PM.
The event will feature a one-on-one conversation with Tim Pool followed by a live student Q&A. To create a dynamic and balanced dialogue, we are specifically seeking a featured guest to represent a left-leaning perspective.
Timcast Media will fully cover and arrange all travel and accommodations.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[REDACTED]

Hi Lisa,
Sorry, I'll be too busy slamming my hand in a car door that day to talk with Tim. Hope you understand.
Kat

What a beautiful evening it was in Lethbridge to fight for Canada! 🇨🇦 Proud Canadians gathered to rally the vote. We are exactly two weeks from referendum day. Make sure if you ordered a mail-in ballot, you send it in ASAP. Advance polls are open October 13–17, and Election Day is October 19.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

Turning Point USA media are embedded with Border Patrol to cover the eviction of the camp defending the final old-growth trees where Trump aims to build a border wall desecrating the landscape. TPUSA are state-sponsored fascist propaganda. Exactly the same as state media in any other autocracy.

I can’t emphasize this enough — “AI” wasn’t born corrupt and toxic. For ~75 years, it was mathematicians and scientists doing interesting, thoughtful work and trying to solve problems, making only the usual human mistakes. What “AI” did to machine learning is as tragic as what it did to artists.

Exactly this. And in fact, many models *have* been created this way, and decades of prior machine learning systems *were* created this way, consensually. These things are choices! People are STILL working this way! It’s not just that a better world is possible — it already EXISTS. We can nurture it.

I voted for Biden, but he was not my first choice, he probably wasn't even my 10th choice given the list of actual choices I shut up and voted. However, the thing I am most disappointed at was, "we want unity" There is no unity without accountability.

Once I was dressed for a fetishy good time - cinched corset, thigh high boots, skirt barely covered my ass - and the doorbell rang. I thought it was my date! But INSTEAD: two Mormon boys who looked barely old enough to drive. We stared at each other in shock, and without a word, they turned and left

And they have NEVER come to my door again. I think they wrote down in their little book that a WHORE OF BABYLON lives here, and she is clearly past any kind of heavenly redemption, and it would LEAD these boys into TEMPTATION to go there. It certainly would’ve been an interesting conversation.
