Wikipedia seems to be losing its teeth. I was looking up Chris Dodd today regarding his role in the opioid crisis. Hardly a hint of his influence.

There is a #hurricane that no one seems to know where it’s going until it gets there. I worked on hurricane tracking in the late 1990s for NOAA, someone go reboot that dog. This is absolutely bonkers.

I can barely stand Bluesky, yet stay for “ideological reasons.” Mainly because the alternatives are more repulsive than the excessive virtue found around here.

I honestly do not disagree with a single word of it, but it is designed to provoke in a way that will not end genocide.

This is not a great way to inspire coalition building. I’m not commenting on anything regarding the facts or not, but it reads with a profound and alarming naïveté.

Mamdani shares on October 7th: This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government's devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians-including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them - all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity.

In evaluating a child sex offender's likelihood of perpetrating again, it is digital images of bestiality, or even more simply farm equipment, that at one time could be enough to send a parolee back to jail.

when emerging technologies are guided by long-termist utilitarianism, the public gets the deaths and doesn't get the benefits, while the Musks and Kalanicks get vast wealth... the current LLM/AI space is different in many ways, but utilitarian arguments should still be a massive, screaming red flag

Why is mRNA development being wound down by HHS? I can’t help but think of the aphorism about more profit in the treatment than the cure. #science 🧪

My paternal grandfather died from the 1918 endemic, at the very tail end of it in 1921.

"Had I had a curriculum that included James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Lorraine Hansberry, Alice Walker, Tracy Chapman, and just people of color who were brilliant and artistic and queer and unapologetic, maybe life would not have been such a challenging road as it had been at times."

A lot of people are not well right now: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This is an excellent time to de-escalate conflicts and to lean into patience. This is true in our personal lives and also (maybe especially) online when it's overwhelmingly strangers crashing into each other.

Prof @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is offering some crucial advice here. Using AI as a lifestyle “enhancer” will wreck your mind and ability to think critically. It’s a networked pattern/regognition solver. It is not your pal. It is not conscious. It is software; it will break. Treat it accordingly.

I once hired a guy who showed up with a beverage and in a ratty sweatshirt. Best hire ever and a really good friend now. Have you spoken to anyone about your fear of people who drink things?

When Covid lockdowns happened, nature began thriving again. I wonder if Trump locking out the press pool will have a similar impact on the American mind. Wouldn’t that be cool.

He speaks like a management consultant. Same vibe and abuse of data with messy conclusions.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

this is a bit of an obsession of mine especially here in charlottesville. the cost of commercial real estate is prohibitive if you want to experiment and the city seems categorically opposed to small lots and small units that could allow people to start businesses without a huge capital investment

The Converse KKK/lynching ad, the Pepsi sex assault tweet, the target blackface costume….I looked at each of them and was absolutely horrified. Nothing subtle about any told them. The Converse ad really shook me.

There is only a single medication that treats my chronic pain while still enabling me to drive and function fully. They cut the count in half and the frequency from 30 to 90 days. It’s expensive.
