The fact that she can sleep after doing what she does is actually the bad part

Fact check from the proud owner of a 2013 Honda Fit: true.

What is @mayor.nyc.gov doing about this is something I want to say as a joke but also not at all as a joke. This gym has multiple locations in the city and this is really and truly not ok.

The Tube Gym also added a bunch of new machines so as to justify the higher price they are charging new customers not grandfathered in to cheapo Blink members (👋) so it’s nice to know that WHEN I DIE IN A FIRE I will be a svelte corpse.

This morning at Tube Gym I learned that the “fire exit” which is also the accessible exit doesn’t actually open when you scan to exit and a staff member told me “we don’t have the code for that.” That staff member had to exit through a tube to open that door for people trying to exit. ffs

FOILed my own ALPR data and at the very least I have proven that my bike rack does not obstruct my license plate and I’m excited to send the NYPD’s own photos to them next time I have to appeal one of these tickets.

I also was going to include in the list a reminder that you can and should opt out of the TSA face scans but Christine wrote a whole article about it!!! They are dumb, just make the agents look at your face with their eyeballs.

I made an advent calendar of one thing you can do every day to improve your digital security and become more informed (ie paranoid).

Good thing we don't have digitized maps so no one can easily fact-check me and we are arguing on vibes.

000

Me, Larry David, Terry Gross, and Andrew Dice Clay are going to come have the most annoying argument with you.

I don't need more reasons to hate the NYTimes, but this is Sheepshead Bay and I will fight you over this even if it is Cuomo Country (it's Sliwa country, actually).

I take personal issue with where this map has drawn the border of Sheepshead Bay and Brighton Beach.

Hell Gate's Election Day Live Blog

Nothing has ever provided the kind of insight into neighborhood by neighborhood politics the way Hellgate's Election Day liveblog has today. hellgatenyc.com/election-day...

It's all happening!

Oh wow, pleased and shocked to report that a more granular look redeems my once home.

Look how red it is!!! It is the most red it can be!!!

Ah yes, Election Day, when I am once again confronted with maps that make me think, “how am I from there?” www.michaellange.nyc/p/predicting...

AITA for how hard I laughed at people complaining about their goofy IoT beds?

It’s waaayyy funnier that he’s getting it removed bc tattoo removal is extremely painful.

Oops, I accidentally a whole Nazi tattoo.

I would also simply not have a whoopsy daisy Nazi tattoo.

perhaps vaguely interesting to @jasonkoebler.bsky.social in re: AI and the legal profession.

000

I actually don't even understand the point of this? They took the useful headnote and summary and added unnecessary AI? Like what is the value add here even if it was right?

100

I used to think that maybe a closed universe LLM just for research could maybe be "ok," but I've now tested a few and the AI will often tell you a holding in a case is the opposite of what it is. This is upsetting because Westlaw headnotes were good and useful and now I can't trust them.

I’ve let this sink in now and it is both the most disingenuous and funniest thing the NYtimes has maybe ever written.

Just a little transphobia and racism, as a “centrist” treat.

Do they know what capitalism is

120

Sorry I am cackling at the capitalism one. What do they think capitalism is!!! I have some Breaking News to share with them.

Xenophobia is centrist now, you heard it here first.

I am once again asking, if you think dehumanizing trans people is a moderate stance.

Wait sorry are they calling these stances “moderate?”

R U gonna say who they were running against and whether the Democratic Party supported or tanked the campaign of a more “radical” candidate or is that somehow not relevant to your assessment?

If by “high profile” they mean “better at the internet”…sure.

It’s time for another edition of #cancelyourNYTimes subscription!! Apologies that all my previous episodes are lost to the former bad place.

I know :surprised pikachu: is a profoundly unserious response but, I just, we keep doing these studies! We know the results! The criminal legal system is racist is not exactly Breaking News. Banging my head against the wall.

"BX and BK judges followed a ROR recommendation at the highest and SI judges at the lowest rate. Nonviolent felonies saw especially wide borough variability. (e.g., people facing a nonviolent felony charge and rec'ed for ROR were 1.8 times more likely to receive it in the BX than in NYC or SI.)"

100

"In these same cases, judges were more likely to impose bail or remand on Black (44%) than Hispanic (39%) or white people (29%). Further analysis linked these racial differences to a tendency of judges to overrate certain risk factors correlated with race/ethnicity."
