How sweet of them. If they could also hold off until their models are helpful to non-billionaire humans, that'd be great too.

He's one of the best progressives, and he might be about to win his 4th out of 5 senate elections in...Ohio. I have no idea why he doesn't get more national attention. He should get 1000 times the attention Rahm Emanuel gets, at least.

Truly f-cked up priorities. At least it only costs $400,000 to go there.

Sherrod Brown has been an amazing progressive Senator, and is maybe about to pull off his 4th win out of 5 tries...in Ohio. he's at the very top of my list of people the Dem party should be listening to for how to win in red states without centrism.

Would love to see how much Rahm Emanuel paid his pr firm to get a profile placed. Guessing it’s more than any of us think it’d be.

Well then it’s a great thing nobody is going to vote for him regardless of how much he paid for this PR.

They also both lost the popular vote in their first election. Neither was ever, actually, popular. Neither ever had a mandate for anything they did. What an awful system we have. Truly.

That the Pennsylvania governor can’t initiate a recall vote is emblematic of our beyond broken system.

It's always been hard for me to see the point of fraternities (dudes only hanging out with like-minded dudes feels like a bad way to craft a college experience), and today's news isn't helping at all.

Everything about this is a fake frame meant to make the person who wrote it feel better about equating fascists with people who want everyone to have healthcare. Hope the comments take the fleeting joy of that false equivalence away from you.

But seriously friends, stop sending me gift articles from this place. I know there are good recipes; I know there are 3-4 good writers who work there for inexplicable reasons. None of it is worth the toll this publication has taken on our democracy over the last few decades. None of it.

Just so we're clear, the part of AI that *needs* to be renamed is not the "artificial" part. It's the "intelligence" part.

I would cap individual wealth accumulation at $100 million, be called commie scum for doing it, even though doing so would GREATLY increase the number of millionaires in the world. Our system is a disease.

This is a great example of how much your (non)vote is truly worth, especially in local/primary elections. Corporations try to buy your apathy, because it's much cheaper than what happens to them if people take a few minutes and get to the ballot. Your vote is worth everything, always.

You should be forecasting how much they would lose by without their authoritarian gerrymandering and shenanigans.

How do I turn all AI off related to what it predicts that I will want to write in the next sentence? In text messages, in word documents, it is literally never right in what it predicts me as wanting to say. EVER. It should just ask "are you conversant in English? I can shut up then."

Having my agent—who I've only worked with on nonfiction—be WAY more into my in-progress fantasy novel than I thought she would be is a very gratifying feeling for someone who has always loved fiction. It will be readable, that's all I can promise.

Meditate today, even for just five minutes. It’s not about perfection. Perfection is a mythology developed by the mind that wants to avoid showing up. It’s about practice. In the beginning, middle, and end, all that really exists is practice.

If you could lose 9 MILLION in a day and have it have no impact, you have too much. Wealth is awesome, but the scope of this is just unfathomable. We need a world without billionaires, and everybody would be wealthier and happier.

I agree with you. But corporate media‘s need to “gotcha” democrats only by posing hypotheticals that have nothing to do with the real world as it exists now needs to be called out. EL-Sayed has been good at this. Talarico has not been.

One way you know you’re a decent person is to have Benjamin Netanyahu say publicly that he doesn’t like you.
