This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

The problem that we need to solve isn't rogue AI, it's that companies increasingly think they can just price crime into the business model and get away with it

Q: Has a convicted felon ever been elected president?

A: Yes. Donald J. Trump was convicted in New York state court on May 30, 2024, of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. He then won the 2024 presidential election and is the 47th President.

Electoral College: 312 votes for Trump, 226 for Kamala D. Harris (270 needed).

Official records list him as the 45th and 47th President.

I did not find official federal records in this search of any earlier president who was elected after a felony conviction.

Sources: CRS on the New York conviction, National Archives 2024 Electoral College, White House biography, FEC 2024 presidential results (PDF).

an approximate graph of a poll saying that ~80% of americans  think "america would be better off if more americans worked in manufacturing" whereas ~25% believe "i would be better off if i worked in a factory." the republicans polled were slightly higher in both before somebody gets mad at me for not making this about that

Once again, software does not “go rogue,” as it has no intent or agency. OpenAI’s management and employees, however, have both, and are where investigations for liability should immediately begin. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/t...

Fair. At this point I can't remember if I was half-dressed, coffee going cold in front of me, while I stared at a TV screen in front of me in horror, or if I was in downtown Manhattan trying to help people but instead being pulled from rubble by two brave, burly NY firefighters. One of the two.

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
